Urban Astronomer Ep. 40: Solstice Special

This is episode 40 of the Urban Astronomer Podcast, our 2018 Christmas Special, and it marks the last episode of Season 1 to be featured on the 365 Days of Astronomy podcast. In this episode, we did a 3-month skyguide with co-host Clem Unger, took a guess at what the Star of Bethlehem might have been, and brought ourselves up to date on the space missions we were waiting for. Brief bio of the podcaster:   Allen is an amateur astronomer, an IT professional, a podcaster, a father of five beautiful kids and a barely competent chess player. He is also the director of the Citizen Science Section of the Astronomical Society of South Africa, where he promotes the uptake of Citizen Science among South African amateur astronomers.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
