Looking Up: The Great Conjunction

sfcollege.edu

Our friend James Albury, director of the Kika Silva Pla Planetarium at Santa Fe College and Dean’s former co-host of Star Gazers is a huge conjunction fan so we had to talk with him about the Great Conjunction as well as his YouTube series, The Sky Above Us
