Astronomycast, episode 371, that Eddington Eclipse Experiment.

Welcome to Astronomycast, or weekly facts based journey through the cosmos, to help you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know.

My name is Fraser Kayne of the publisher of University and with me is Dr. Pamela Gay, a professor at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, and the director of Cosmic Quest. Hey Pamela, how are you doing?

I'm doing well, how are you doing Fraser?

I apologize, I'm a little, little throaty today. It's allergy season and I don't know, I've got a bunch of pollen clogged in my throat, I think.

That is sadness.

Yes, but I'll tough through it.

Do you have some kind of announcement, some news updates on the Hangout of On?

I do, so we are gearing up for the 2015 Cosmic Quest Hangout of On.

It will be April 25, 26. We now have the event pages up on Google and I'm for one very grateful that we can now record eight hours at any time.

And we're partnered up with the astronomers without borders, Global Astronomy Month, Global Star Party.

So we will be bringing you live coverage of star parties around the world following the night as it passes from nation to nation.

How cool is that? It just gets bigger and more insane every year and we watch you go crazier online, 36 straight hours of Pamela broadcasting.

Yeah, if there is an easier way to fund myself, I would, but this is the most reliable.

Yeah, I trust you guys to do what's right more than I trust referees who may not have actually read my grant proposal to do what's right.

Right. Yeah, so the event page is already set up and so if you're listening to this, how could people navigate to the event page to click yes, so that then get all of the updates and recommendations that will go into calendar.

So we are plus Cosmo quest on Google plus that sounds redundant and I just look up all of our events.

They should be the most recent four posts on our feed and I will be putting all those links on our Google Hangout page and that's over on Cosmo quest and I of course have forgotten the bit late in the time it takes me to open up and get to the show.

We'll get that next week. We still have a little time. We do. All right. Well, let's get cracking in.
