The Barycenter Project

Join us as we take a road trip to a star party! The Salt Lake Astronomical Society (SLAS) recently hosted a star party at Stansbury Park Observatory Complex (SPOC). We viewed Jupiter and Saturn through several telescopes, including the 200mm Bogdan Refractor and the 1.8M Clements Reflector. We also were able to look at The Whirlpool Galaxy, Messier 13, Albireo, and other celestial objects through the many telescopes brought to the star party by the SLAS members. Truly an amazing evening of stargazing!

Today on this special edition of our podcast, we discuss our brand-new video! We also announce "The Grand Tour" and how you can be a part of it!

We were honored to be among the attendees at the Utah Podcast Summit 2019 held this past Saturday (June 8, 2019). During the event we recorded a live podcast at the invitation of Spencer Wright, CEO of The Pod Mill. Spencer joined us on the podcast and we discussed The Barycenter Project, the worlds of science fact and science fiction, and how podcasting continues to bring fans of both of these worlds together.

Today on the podcast, we will answer the top three questions we have received since the launch of the project, including (1) How did The Barycenter Project get its name? (2) What is the style or design of the project? (3) What is the status of the 1-day live event you are planning for this fall? And now, on with the show!

We have a brand-new "introduction" video that is ready for viewing! The audio track for that video is featured on this podcast. Also, we recently attended a local podcaster meetup. We met several Utah-based podcasters - including Chris Holifield, the host and producer of the "I AM Salt Lake" podcast - that will be attending the Utah Podcast Summit in June. We have been invited to attend this summit and we plan to record a podcast while we are there. We also have new icons on our web site to help our fans locate their favorite project links.

Today on the podcast we are on-location testing our new portable podcast kit! We will talk about upcoming podcasts and how the worlds of science fact and science fiction made this podcast possible.

Today on the podcast we discuss the origin of The Barycenter Project, we will visit the worlds of science fact and science fiction, and we will go over the format for future podcasts.
