Astronomy Cast Ep. 41: The Rise of The Supertelescopes

Hosted by: Fraser Cain (@frasercain) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) From June 18, 2007. The last decade has been the golden age of astronomy, with new observatories and space telescopes pushing out our understanding of the Universe. We see billions of light years away, watch dynamic events unfold in almost real-time, and see into every corner of the electromagnetic spectrum. But just you wait: things will only get better. Here come the supertelescopes!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
