77: A Night In The Life Of An Astronomer

Emily is up a mountain in New Zealand, observing stars and doing astronomer-y things. Or, she would be, if the weather was behaving better. In this episode, recorded on site at the University of Canterbury's Mount John Observatory in the heart of NZ's gorgeous South Island, we find out just what astronomers get up to when they're shut up with their telescopes, working by night and sleeping by day, trying to glean cosmic secrets through gaps in the clouds.
