Welcome to Astronomy Cast, the most popular astronomy-related podcast. Just look at what listeners have to say about it:
Astronomy Cast is out of this world! It's hard to believe that it's free! This is an absolute must for any amateur astronomer or anyone interested in astronomy or cosmology. The hosts, Pamela and Fraser, are fun to listen to, extremely knowledgeable, and are able to explain difficult subject matter with great analogies. Bravo!
"Very interesting and almost "easy" for amateurs to listen and understand"

We finally get organized enough deal with several listener questions: isn't dark matter just regular stuff we can't see? how can parts of the Universe be expanding faster than the speed of light? what will Betelgeuse look like when it explodes as a supernova? what's the speed of gravity? All these and more questions are answered.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I live in Durham City, England, UK.
My house looks east. Every morning I look out of my kitchen window at about 5am/5.30am/6am/6.30am and there is a bright object, presumably Venus.
If Venus and the Earth are orbiting the Sun at different distances from the Sun and if they in addition they are travelling at different speeds. Then how is it that Venus is there every morning?
Please email me with the answer to: raltechris2000@yahoo.com or ring or text me on 07878292163 Thanks
Chris
