[AANC Contacts] November NASA IYA content (What's Up Podcast ++)

[Jane Houston Jones]

Hi AANC friends,

NASAs IYA website shares content and activities for each month this year 
(including my What's Up podcast) which is all about the Crab Nebula this 
month. 

In 1054, ancient stargazers in both the old and new worlds saw something 
amazing!  A star in the daytime!  It was a stellar explosion and 
recorded at the time from China, Korea, and at Chaco Canyon in the 
American Southwest!  Visible for 2 years to the unaided eye, this is the 
big bopper of exploded stars in our recorded history!

My podcast shows the ancient observations as well as the more recent 
ones. Hope you at look at it and share it.  :-)
