Looking up on a clear, dark night inspires a sense of amazement. The darker your sky, the more you begin to wonder, "What IS that?" But even basic questions like "Is the moon really visible in the daytime", or "Why do we get so much daylight in the summer?" may seem like they should be obvious.
In astronomy, apparent magnitude is the rating scale for object brightness whether it be a planet, star, or galaxy. Did you know that the lower the number, the brighter the object? Your eyes can see through the 6th magnitude, but in the 7th, you need visual aid. The same can be true for knowledge.

So we frequently talk about Whispering Pines Campground owned by Buffalo State University. Come along with us! Our first live podcast, and we will even put out some extras about what we do there! More to come from our next summer campout which will be in June 2024!
We have TWO guests for this episode. Mr. Paul Krupinski, owner of Ancient Eyes Productions and Mr. Dan Collins (yes, relation). Former Orbital Analyst for MIT's Lincoln Labs at the Haystack Observatory (Radio Telescope) and Tim's oldest brother. You may notice that Jim Collins is our guest videographer from time-to-time. That's their middle brother so they are all involved now!
By the way, you may notice Burger King birthday hats on the table... Tim and his wife both had birthdays the week of the taping, and we sort of suprised them... hehe.
