About Us
7th Magnitude Explained
The 7th Magnitude on the apparent magnitude scale is where visual assistance is required. Our hope is to provide you with information where that limit occurs with common knowledge.
Terry, Tim, and Morris say, "We do not see ourselves as 'better' than any other astronomy podcast, but we do see ourselves adding our voices to the choices in the name of diversity."
We also do not view other astronomy podcasters as competitors, rather we see them as colleagues. A variety of topics is good for the mind, so please check out others!!!!
