Ask an Astronomer! @ Cornell University

Today on the Ask An Astronomer Podcast... 1) We listen to the unseeable, the sound of two black holes colliding. 2) Dave K and Dave B delve into the mysterious Dark Energy, which Cosmologists believe fills the entire universe and is why the universe keeps expanding. 3) And we answer a question from a reader about the number of stars in the Milky Way, and how Astronomers use Galaxy Zoo to take a census of the night sky. ...today on the Ask An Astronomer Podcast.
