PROFILE: John W. Campbell

Posted on April 27, 2025 by Pam Hoffman

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on May 2nd at 9pm Pacific time!

https://SubscribeToOurChannel.com/

As an editor, John W. Campbell was a great influence (for good or bad) on the early days of science fiction (1938 – 1971).

Campbell published the first stories from some of the biggest writers, popularized science fiction, and wrote the story that became “The Thing.” He also got in trouble with the FBI and, later in his career, started to become more controversial and began the “New Wave” (New Age) science fiction movement, drifting away from the actual science.

This and other views led Isaac Asimov and some of Campbell’s biggest proponents to drift away from him.

Friday night, we’ll look at one of science fiction’s most influential and controversial figures.

UPDATE: MicroObservatory Online Robotic Telescopes

Posted on April 20, 2025 by Pam Hoffman

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on April 25th at 9pm Pacific time!

https://SubscribeToOurChannel.com/

Early last March, an email arrived requesting answers to a survey about “…our network of free-to-use robotic telescopes at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian…”

That sparked an idea for an UPDATE to a previous episode we did in on the network of telescopes, in February 2021. This episode will be an update and a bit of a deeper dive into this network. Also from that email…

“Your feedback will play a crucial role in helping to shape the future of open access to real telescopes. Let your voice be heard, and help us create an exciting future for remote observing!”

Since there may be some great things to look forward to from this network, let this episode serve as a reminder to watch for these developments in the future as well!

Stranded or strategic?

Astronauts Williams & Wilmore (Suni & Butch to their friends) have been on the International Space Station, aka ISS, for much longer than the week they expected to stay. They are finally being ‘rescued’ though there are some claiming that this is an exaggeration of the situation.

“Do you ever wonder what the future holds for our solar system? The Sun will eventually become a dense, planet-sized object called a white dwarf. That means studying the white dwarfs we see in the sky can provide a glimpse into our own solar system’s fate!
