Dean Regas Rocks!

I love going to the Cincinnati Observatory but I sometimes don’t make it there as often as I’d like. Listening to Dean and Anna on this podcast gives me my astronomy fix! They’re wonderful to listen to, and have a good back and forth between them. Dean does a very good job of explaining complicated astronomy topics in a way that is easy to understand and accessible to just about everyone. I highly recommend this podcast, and if you live in the Cincinnati area be sure to visit Dean at the Cincinnati Observatory and attend one of his programs. It’s really amazing!
