Astronomycast Episode 283 from Monday, December 3, 2012. Stellar Motion.

Welcome to Astronomycast, our weekly facts 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 the universe today,

and with me is Dr. Pamela Gay, a professor at Southern Illinois University,

Ann Wrensville. Hey Pamela, how are you doing?

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

Good, so this is the last episode that we're recording before we embark upon our,

not the end of the world, cruise and hang out in real life and record some shows

with our friends and friends on a boat in the Caribbean watching the world not burn.

This is a good way to spend the holidays.

Yeah, this is going to be fun.

We get to climb around on my own wreckage because it's really weathered as bad things to ruins.

And yeah, it's going to be awesome.

Yeah, and we'll see how this works and see if we can organize some other events in future years.

So I think this is going to be a great experiment.

And we'll meet a lot of really cool people.

So that's going to be great.

But it's going to be a little spotty for the next couple of weeks while we're away from our regular internet.

So sorry, we'll be back.
