What this episode covers
Eric James Stone , Nebula winner and "graduate" of NASA's Launchpad workshop , joins us to talk about astronomy in our world-building. We talk about tides, habitable zones, planetary orbits and axial tilts, stellar life-cycles, and other fun factors for authors to take into account. But obviously we can't teach you everything you need to know about astronomy in 15 minutes, so we wrap with some handy resources for you to begin your continuing education: * Astronomy Picture of the Day * Bad Astronomy * Diamonds in the Sky Our Sponsors: * Check out MasterClass and use my code masterclass.com/EXCUSES for a great deal: https://MasterClass.com * Check out Talkiatry and use my code Talkiatry.com/WX for a great deal: https://www.talkiatry.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/writing-excuses2130/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
