Sixty Second Astronomy

How much can you learn about astronomy in sixty seconds? The Open University thinks you can learn a lot. Through their open learning initiative on YouTube, they present twelve one minute animated videos narrated by David Mitchell. He’s a comedian, so if you’ve got a quarter of an hour to spare, you can be amused and educated at the same time.

I have just wasted…..I mean I have just watched 5 minutes worth of Astronomy. I will bookmark the rest for later.

I don’t think I ever reported that I finished the Green Comet latest story….the one I think I downloaded in December. The one where the virus killed off a lot. But thanks to the 5…..the comet was saved!!! Is there a new installment?

  Yes there is another extension coming. I’m almost finished the first draft, so it won’t be long, depending on how you define long.-)

I watched all the 60 second astronomy segments. They were informative. The nice thing is that you can listen to them again and you don’t have to watch the action.

I never thought of that. Less distracting?
