"What's Up?" and "Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer"

I didn’t notice when they first posted it, but here’s the "What’s Up?" for September.

JPL puts out one of these about every month. It’s part of their general science outreach effort and focuses on observing the universe with your naked eye. The September edition talks about looking at the Milky Way from a dark sky location. Our friend, Old Town Astronomer Jane Houston Jones, narrates this series.

Also, if you can stand his annoying personality, there’s another regular astronomy video you can see, with Jack Horkheimer. The current, upcoming, and recent episodes are available here. The one-minute version of the episode for the week of September 15 is pretty good. It discusses Vega, a blue super-giant star in the constellation of Lyra.
