Astronomycast, episode 353, Seasons It's Sat.

Welcome to Astronomycast, our weekly facts based journey through the cosmos.

My name is Fraser Kane. I'm the publisher of University of University and with me is Dr. Pamela Gay,

a professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and the director of CosmQuest. How are you doing?

I'm doing well. How are you doing?

Good. So you've got a bit of an announcement. You're going to be somewhere shortly.

I am going to be down on the fine island continent of Australia from about October 2nd to October 12th.

And I'm hoping that some of you out there listening will have a chance to come out and hear what's up.

That is awesome. Yeah, so lots of opportunities to hang it with Pamela. If you live in the Melbourne area, this is your chance.
