Astronomycast, episode 196 from Monday, June 28, 2010, luminosity and magnitude.

Welcome to Astronomycast, our weekly facts-based journey through the cosmos to re-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, and with me is Dr. Pamela Gay at Professor at Southern Illinois University, Eppensville.

Hi Pamela, how are you doing?

I'm doing well. How are you doing, Fraser?

Doing very well. So, I think we're going to...

Give in to Summer?

Give in to Summer. This is the last episode of the Summer.

So, the date on this June 28th, we're going to take July and August off, and by going to...

I mean, we already did, and now we're just going to make it official.

So, no episodes from June 28th till the beginning of September, and then we're going to be doing Dragon Corn.

And we're going to try and do a live show there. We will do a live show there, and then regular schedule will continue after that.

When your Summer travel schedule eases up.

And we're going to be bringing back the question shows, and we're going to work very, very hard to get back to our old...

We launch on Mondays, we launch on Thursdays, and we're going to try. It's a goal.

It's a goal, it's a dream. And so, and so Dragon Corn, September or Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, both of us are going to be there.

We're going to be doing a live version of Astronomy Cast, and we're going to be on a bunch of other panels.

We will be... We're going to have T-shirts, CDs.

So, if you want to come and hang and meet us and go for beer, we'll be there. And that'll be great.

And we're hoping that all of you will come and get Astronomy Cast T-shirts, please. They're pretty.
