Stephen James O'Meara, astronomer and author of a new book on Botswana's stars: Nights skies of Botswana joins me to discuss what makes Botswana's skies worth seeing, what is the best time of year to visit if you are an avid star gazer and we celebrate all that makes the sky so special.
Join us to be reminded to look up at the night sky wherever you are in the world and to imagine sitting quietly under the milky way appreciating this under-appreciated experience Botswana offers. Steve shares some local lore shared in his book as well as a different perspective on the night sky he learned from the Basarwa people.
Stephen's book can be bought as a kindle version or pre-ordered in paperback from the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Night-Skies-Botswana-local-star-ebook-dp-B086DHNY5Q/dp/B086DHNY5Q/ref=mt_other?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=
