Listen "Orion, Colorfully Named Iris and a River Runs Through It"
Episode Synopsis
Venus begins its ingress into the morning sky. Saturn's on its way out of the evening.
A colorfully named asteroid, Iris, is at opposition this week.
Orion is the most recognizable constellation and now's the best time of year to get to know him.
A river is an important part of many ancient Greek legends whose characters are represented in our constellation maps. So, of course, it makes sense to have a river up there too.
