The Mid-October Sky and The House of a Thousand Mirrors

·13 min·1 clip

The same object repeated again and again, hanging in the void like reflections in a hallway of mirrors—the universe itself bending light into impossible shapes.

Host Drew guides listeners through mid-October stargazing opportunities including planetary observations and the Orionid meteor shower, then delves into the fascinating phenomenon of gravitational lensing—explaining how massive objects bend light to create multiple images of distant celestial objects like the Einstein Cross and Abell 1689 galaxy cluster.
