"What's Up - July" , the monthly amateur astronomy themed podcast is
up on the public JPL website
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/. I'm the host
of the video. It's geared to members of the public. I put in some
pictures from our June trip to Kaibab, GCSP and Bryce - hope you all
like it! Jane :-)
What's Up for July is all about the moon, and I think it can be used?
Be sure to step outside on the 16th and have a look at Saturn, Venus
and the crescent moon! See you on the sidewalk the weekend of the
20th-21st.
Here's What's Up for July will be archived here, but it's in the
process of getting on the page now and we're on our way to Yosemite
in 15 minutes.

The video is only 2 minutes long and is packed with great amateur
images of planets and more. You'll find some simple (aimed at the
general public) downloadable sky charts, links to NASA amateur
astronomy networks, and this is where the What's Ups are archived.
There are several different download options for museum, planetarium,
astronomy club, classroom and National Parks :-) use. And you can
download these right onto your video iPOD too. If you use them in
any way, let me know!
