Astronomycast, episode 267 for Monday, May 28, 2012, infinities.

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

We 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 University Today.

And with me is Dr. Pamela Gaye, a professor at Southern Illinois University, Everestville.

Pamela, how are you doing?

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

I'm doing really well. And I think we want to remind people that they can celebrate the world not ending with us at the end of December.

Yes, so we are going on a cruise, departing out of Miami in the beginning part of December, second week of December.

So hopefully kids will be most of the way out of school for Christmas break.

And we're going to spend December 20th at Mayan Ruins stomping around being archaeological fans and celebrating the fact that the world is still around.

And the Mayans built really awesome big things out of rocks.

Yeah, and so if you want to join us, you can go to astrosphere.org.

There's a link right there on the homepage that sort of links you to information on the end of the world cruise.

And sort of information on how you can book a ticket on that.

And then when you do book a ticket, make sure you say that astronomy cast sent me.

And that way we'll be able to sort of gather you together into the special events that we're going to be doing just for astronomy cast fans.

We'll be live recordings there. There's going to be all sorts of fun stuff.

Yeah, we really hope that you'll be there. You'll join us and we can all have a great holiday together.

Yeah, it's going to be nice mixture of relaxation and astronomy. So I think this is going to be fun. So check it out.
