Description


"Conceiving my heart as gutter broke,
 my sweet love grants me a boon,
and  joy rose up, grey billowing smoke,
smoke like swirls on the moon" 
-no quality poem ever.


So back when i started the show I sent Catherine an email. She's always been one of my most gifted astronomy friends. I said "hey, give me a topic for the show." I expected her to say like "variable stars that wobble because of acoustic waves" or something. she said "lunar swirls". i said "I'll get back to you". 
Anyway.
she persisted. 
i gave in.
and we put together a show about SWIRLS ON THE MOON. 
apparently there are swirls on the moon. and they're AWESOME.
So my experts today are Catherine Neish and Sebastien Besse. and we explain everything to Jordan Harbinger, who hosts the Pickup Podcast.

Life is fun.
