Sometimes, astronomy can be an intimidating hobby to dive into. All those fancy telescopes are expensive and seem complicated. Is it really worth it, to spend this much money and time, if you just want to get a little sneak peak into amateur astronomy? Good news! You don't really need all that equipment, if you want to discover the night sky! A good pair of binoculars gets you started and Paul is here to show you how to use it to experience the wonders of the late fall/winter sky!   Host: Paul Salazar Music: royalty-free from incompetech.com

Dieser Tage geht es irgendwie hoch her. Manchmal kann man das Gefühl bekommen, bei all der Politik, den Kriegen, der Gespaltenheit und dem Scheitern von Konzepten und Gemeinschaften, die Welt steht kurz vor dem Untergang. Aus der Erfahrung wissen wir, dass man öfter mal dieses Gefühl verspürt. Und die Astronomie lehrt uns, dass es nur ein wirklich wahres Ende gibt: das Ende des Universums. Wie wird das aussehen? In welcher Form endet das "Drum herum", unsere große Heimat? Mit einem Knall? Mit einem spektakulären Feuerwerk? Die Antwort ist: ganz in Ruhe. Der Wärmetod ist vielleicht der größte Zen-Zustand überhaupt. Warum wird irgendwann einfach nichts Neues mehr geschehen? Und wie lange haben wir noch? Moderation: Jana Steuer, MSc.
