An audio course in Astronomy as you drive to work

Found this on the Bautforum, Prof. Richard Pogge of Ohio State has put audio files of his lectures for "Introduction to Stars, Galaxies, & the Universe" at:

http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/.../Ast162/Audio/

they won't all fit on a single CD however, you need an iPod for them all.

Thanks Bill. And for those of us who only live 2 min from work we can listen to them when we are out under the star in our own natural laboratory

Thanks Bill

! I'm stuck on a train for an hour each way to work, so this'll work a treat!

Thanks Bill!

My iPod started feeling tired just at the sight of these...

Hey Guys,

Did you notice that if you follow the link on each "Unit" you can get lecture notes as well for each lecture?

Cool!

Al.

Fantastic!

The Astronomy 161/162 series were my favourites!

Theres quite a few... I've got ones from Berkley State University, Also got their full Astrophysics course, every lecture of every unit on my mobile phone.. I listen to them all day at work.. Some of it goes over my head but I keep up mostly.. Reference certain material that helps me understand the bits I don't get upon the first listen etc.. .Definitely worth while..

Agree.
This new course should be interesting.
I see that he has a lecture titled "The Copernican Revolution". Astronomy 161 missed half this topic due to tech problems.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm up to the middle of "The Copernican Revolution" from yesterday's drive home and today's drive in!

Same old Richard (same old jokes

). Enjoying the thrust of this course.

Same old jokes is right, but a good listen anyway.

Ironic: This episode also has tech problems like the first.
