Astronomer and friend of the show John Read is back for our first episode of 2024! 

John may be working on a capstone course for his Master’s Degree, but John joins us for what John does best- helping space explorers of ALL AGES learn and be easily inspired! Have you seen his latest YouTube Channel video, “How to use ANY telescope?” Discover John’s new books, new videos and more at https://learntostargaze.com/  

Today, John walks us through what to see in the night sky during these winter months, what happens when you get a UFO sighting call while working at the observatory, green lasers and more. OH, AND, John invites all of us to stargaze at a new special location in Nova Scotia…. 

It’s just some of the fun we have together in this episode of Casual Space with John Read.
