Times, they are a' changing...

I probably should have posted this last week, but during the summer (starting tomorrow!) my radio show will be airing live Monday mornings from 10 - 11 AM USET, instead of Wednesday mornings from 7 - 8 AM. Hope this doesn't inconvenience any of you, and thanks a lot for listening. This week's show is going to cover the end of the Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission and recent Hubble results which explains why this servicing mission was so important.

Public Talk Tomorrow

I know I'm very behind posting past shows, show descriptions, astronomy websites, etc., but tomorrow night at 7:30 PM I'm giving a public talk on white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes at the Custer Institute and Observatory in Southold, NY (on the north fork of Long Island). Hope you can make it!
