A astronomy cast, episode 463.

Paradelia and the Moon.

Welcome to Astronomy Cast, a weekly fax based journey through the cosmos where we help

you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know.

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

the director of technology and citizen science at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific,

and the director of Cosmic Quest.

Hey Pamela, how are you doing?

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

Good, how was TwitchCon?

It was fabulous, and as I was saying in the pre-show, they have signs up everywhere that

say bleed purple, and I'm thinking that because so many people had their hair dyed purple,

which is like amazing brand strategy commitment, all the things.

People actually like, blood purple all over the showers.

But beyond that, so that's like my personal amusement.

There were so many amazing people, so many amazing technologists there.

I watched a woman, Noobcat, is her channel, who did live coding of an IRC bot and a Twitch

overlay, and it's like I just want to like pair program with you forever.

So yeah, it was awesome.

All the coders, all of the gaming, all of the art, all of the things that I'm kind of

passionate about, all of them were there and dyed purple.

Right on.
