Jeff Stone – Eclipse Chasing and the Night Sky

Welcome to The Night Sky: A Podcast on the Eclipses Comes to Kerrville, a podcast that celebrates that for two days over the next 18 months, Kerrville, TX, will be the Eclipse Capitol of the World. This podcast, hosted by Andrew Gay and Tom Fox, will celebrate these two eclipses and discuss how Kerrville will prepare for an influx of a quarter million (or more) visitors. The Texas Hill Country Podcast Network hosts this podcast.

In this second episode, Andrew and Tom visit with Jeff Stone, who has been an eclipse chaser and long-time watcher of the skies. Jeff describes the wonder and awe he found looking into the night skies as a young boy, his passion for working at NASA, chasing eclipses, and the beauty of the darkened night sky.

Highlights include:

  • What is a solar eclipse?
  • What is an annular eclipse?
  • What is a total eclipse?
  • What is the best way to watch an eclipse?
  • Working at NASA?
  • What is the ‘Night Sky’ movement?
  • How and why Kerrville, TX, will be the epicenter of both eclipses.
