Thanks for this thread and all your informative and interesting posts, Eric!
I took 2 Astronomy courses in college (mid 70's) and still have my text and notebooks but have to admit, I haven't really spent a great deal of time working on my knowledge base about our skies above since then.
But I used to really enjoy Jack Horkheimer's show which always came on late at night. I'll have to pull out my old books and brush back up on this amazing science.
"Keep looking up"!
