How do you feel about the universe? Is it scary, you know with how large it is? How far way everything is? Is it intimidating when astronomers talk about time in millions and billions of years? Okay, on the surface it's intimidating. But there are lots of people out there who have made it their mission, sometimes dedicating years to volunteering, and a few well-paying careers, just to bring the universe down to Earth. Dean Regas chats with Kat Troche, project coordinator for the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, to learn more.

Guests: Dean Regas is an astronomer and former Farmers' Almanac contributor based in Cincinnati. Liz Graznak is an organic farmer and owner of Happy Hollow Farm based in Columbia, Missouri. Lauren Guillette is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Ecology at the University of Alberta.

The question seems completely absurd to us in the 21st century: should we use cameras to help with astronomical research? Well, of course. Why wouldn't we? But in the early 20th century, this was a heated debate that echoed in the domes of many established observatories around the world. So when did the camera really outshine the eye for documenting things in space? Dean Regas chats with Anika Burgess, author of Flashes of Brilliance: The Genius of Early Photography and How it Transformed Art, Science, and History, to learn more.
This holiday season, Dean Regas visits a favorite episode of Looking Up, featuring astrophysicist Dr. Katie Mack. They discuss how all of this might end: could it be a crunch, a freeze or a rip?
