À propos de cet audio
This week the New Moon arrives—perfect conditions for spotting deep-sky wonders. Discover five must-see celestial objects to track down while the skies are dark, from ancient globular clusters to swirling galaxies.
Then, we dig into a colorful cosmic mystery: why do we see red, blue, and yellow stars—but never green ones? We explain how star temperatures and light spectra play a role in the colors we perceive in the night sky.
It’s a shorter episode this week (Drew’s voice is a bit under the weather), but there’s still plenty to marvel at above. So let your eyes adjust, and come along for the view.
