A passion for stargazing brings with it a reverence for some of the greatest mysteries in the universe. What was there before the Big Bang? What happens when a star disappears into the abyss of a black hole? Devoted stargazer Tom Urbain loves to contemplate these questions as he observes the planets, constellations, and distant galaxies from his own backyard.
Tom has such a strong curiosity about space that he created a website, starlust.org, that is packed with articles, resources, and helpful tips for anyone interested in exploring astronomy. If you have a question about space, chances are, starlust.org has the answer!
This episode also includes guidance for novice stargazers from Quinn Sykes, the Observatory Manager for Boston University's Astronomy Department.
