I was graciously chosen to appear in the inaugural episode of a new astronomy video podcast. The worldwide launch of Offorbit.tv offers a personal look at astronomy and is produced by Cook Studios. It's available in hi-res (blog), through YouTube and as a subscription in iTunes. Enjoy this look at solar astronomy as you go... Off Orbit!
