  • excellent broadcast

    I've listened to several of these two-minute audio clip by Dr. Grauer. 'Travelers in the Night' is very formative at any level of knowledge for the listener and compels the listener to research further into the broadcasted astronomical topic. I personally have learned a lot on a wide variety of astronomy material.
