Astronomy math is VERY hard, but the science itself is pretty simple when compared to biology, geology, etc. Once you exclude Earth, there's only 42 things left to learn about before you can understand the rest of the known Universe. Join Kevin "The Dark Ranger" Poe to get a semester's worth of astronomy from this single show.
