Writing Excuses 7.32: Astronomy 101 for Writers
Archive Seasons 7-10 Archives - Writing Excuses - Podcast tekijän mukaan Brandon Sanderson, Mary Robinette Kowal, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler
Eric James Stone, Nebula winner and "graduate" of NASA's Launchpad workshop, joins us to talk about astronomy in our world-building. We talk about tides, habitable zones, planetary orbits and axial tilts, stellar life-cycles, and other fun factors for authors to take into account. But obviously we can't teach you everything you need to know about astronomy in 15 minutes, so we wrap with some handy resources for you to begin your continuing education: * Astronomy Picture of the Day * Bad Astronomy * Diamonds in the Sky
