Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
For some, hot moonless summer nights are synonymous with backyard stargazing. Amateur and expert astronomers join Kojo to explore the cosmos, explain how to find Jupiter (and tell it apart from the orbiting space shuttle), and preview this weekend’s great meteor shower.
Guests
- Elizabeth Warner Astronomer, and Observatory Director at University of Maryland
- Kevin Hartnett Deputy Science Operations Manager for the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center; and President of the Goddard Astronomy Club
