Sami and fellow thoughtboter Rémy look to the stars as they talk all things astronomical.

Learn about Rémy’s new open source gem Astonoby that plots the coordinates of objects in space, the hidden inventions developed as humans looked to the stars and listen as the pair theorise whether there truly is other life in the universe.
