#014: Astronomy and Fiction - a podcast by Ask an Astronomer! @ Cornell University

This month on the Ask An Astronomer Podcast, Ann
Martin and Sarah Scoles take a look at the relationship between science
and fiction, and between scientists and the art they create. We'll
hear a reading of a piece of original short fiction, "The Formation of
Structure," written by Sarah for the podcast. Afterwards, we'll sit
down with Dr. Jennifer Rohn of LabLit.com to discuss the power of
fiction to draw readers into the real world of science. Today's
podcast is written and produced by Ann Martin. You can ask us your
own questions by visiting us at our website,

from the website Freesound.org. Most of the sounds used in the piece
are licensed under Creative Commons Zero. We've also used music
entitled "Swell Pad" from Freesound user ERH, solo cello
improvisations called "Fundamentals" from Freesound user Rich T Cello,
and an effect titled "Fanfare" from Freesound user Toby K.
