Last week, Astronomy magazine posted the second episode of Liz and Bill’s Cosmic Adventures. For this one, we focused on extrasolar planets — worlds orbiting stars other than the Sun. This is a hot topic in astronomy, so we wanted to make this one of our first episodes.
Creating this video series has been a learning process. We know the first episode had a few sound issues, but we were able to (mostly) remedy this problem. We also went with a different approach in this video, opting for a more casual banter instead of scripted scenes. We’ve heard already that it’s hilarious, and we hope you agree!
Future episodes won’t always be conversational; we want to have a good mix of styles. You’ll see a variation of this in the next installment, where we tackle an issue of monumental importance. (That’s a hint!)
We hope you like the series. Let us know your thoughts, either by posting a comment below or e-mailing us at cosmicadventures@astronomy.com.
