Between the Earth and Stars (formerly Media Astra Ac Terra)

Astra: Backyard Astronomy / Terra: Chalcedony, Part I / Main Show: What's My Sign?Episode 28 takes a look at backyard astronomy in the Astra segment, with an emphasis on naked-eye and binocular astronomy to point out that you don't need a telescope to explore the night sky.  Then in the Terra segment, we start a two-part look at chalcedony, which has many beautiful and well-loved varieties that you may not realize are all the same mineral. And then in the main segment, I tackle the recent resurgence of the “astrology is wrong because the constellations don't line up with the signs anymore” issue.  For more information, references, and links, please visit the Sphinx Words blog post for this episode.  Thanks for listening!Bright and dark blessings,-- Oraia Sphinx --
