    Try to tune in to another meteor shower (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Neptune at opposition. Mercury passes Spica. Another daytime meteor shower. You may see some meteors early in the morning. But these meteors are mostly entering the atmosphere by day. Maybe you can listen for them on the radio.

    Equinox. Equal? NOT! (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The moon passes by Venus. Mercury makes headway into the evening. Mars is closest to Pollux. Southern lunistice and lunar apogee. Not everywhere gets 12 hours of sunlight on the equinox. Some places don't get exactly 12 hours at all--ever.

    What's in a name? History! (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The moon at apogee and heading south. Uranus goes retrograde. Mercury moves toward Venus. What's in a name? Maybe a few thousand years of human oral history. It doesn't seem so now, but Milky Way and galaxy go back to the same origin when people described what they saw in the sky.
