Astronomycast Episode 380, the limits of optics.

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

My name is Fraser Kane, I'm the publisher of the university and with me is Dr. Pam LaGay, professor at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, and the director of Cosmocrest.

Hey Pam, how are you doing?

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

Doing great.

So we don't really queue up anything to talk about but is there anything new and interesting happening over on Cosmocrest?

Anything that people should go and do and anything they should analyze?

We are doing a summer of science, we are encouraging everybody to get online, participate in doing a certain amount of science every day.

Scholastic summer reading program encourages an hour of reading, we'll encourage an hour of science.

But because reading is also important, we have a blog post up on perfect pairings of science and science fiction.

So when you're analyzing the moon, listen to the moon is a harsh mistress. If you're working on Mars, the Martian is there for you.

So check out our blog for that perfect pairings of audiobooks and science that you can do.

That is great, I plan to inflict this on the children.
