Here We Are

Show Notes

Today, I sit down with Andrew Kerr, head of the Dale Etheridge Planetarium in Las Vegas!

Andrew is an astronomer and physicist who received his PhD for his work on the Gravito-Electromagnetic Effect and the Cosmological Constant.

In this episode, we talk about the state of planetariums, seek to understand the utility of constellations and star classifications, try to grasp the milestones and timescales that make up our universe, and project into the future of our solar system!
