It really makes me happy to see the ever-increasing number of visitors to AstroShorts but that is only one part of the equation.  It is the input of our members that makes a difference.  I bet you’ve noticed more than a few videos from AstroShorts member John Crilly who takes some fabulous pictures from his urban observatory.  I urge you to explore them all.  Thanks John for all your valuable contributions.

I’m equally pleased to report that the good people at Astronomy magazine have posted a series of videos on a wide range of topics related to astronomy.  There’s been a great deal of interest from viewers -they’re very popular and we’re really happy to see them available to AstroShorts viewers.

You can upload your own videos too!  Don’t be shy.  Everyone visiting AstroShorts wants to see.  The whole astronomical community benefits every time someone shares their interest of astronomy.  That’s why we are here, doing what we do and why you are visiting right now.

Clear Skies!

The relationship between Science and Science Fiction is a symbiotic one, don’t you think?  Casey and I visited a Science Fiction convention in Toronto called Polaris 21 where we explored that relationship.  What we found was that Science Fiction fans are keenly aware of the interplay between the two and had plenty to say.  We’ll have their insights in an episode of “News In Space” very soon including an interview with Torri Higginson of Stargate Atlantis.

For those of you wondering what’s happened to News In Space, don’t fret -we haven’t forgotten you.  We’re working hard to bring our on-line store to AstroShorts and it’s requiring our full attention right now.  We will have more coming very soon.  On a related note, our wonderful show host, Casey Dee is now providing the voice of IMAGINOVA’s monthly Sky Events Podcast.  We’ve featured it on the AstroShorts main page.  We’re so proud of you Casey!
