Many of you have asked about the Star Date postings.
They are actually scripts for a daily radio series called
Star Date, which is syndicated on about 200 stations in
the United States and Canada. Star Date is produced by
the University of Texas McDonald Observatory, and it is
paid for by the stations who subscribe.
The first line of each script -- the one that often
ends with the words "after this" -- is there to give radio
stations a "window" for a commercial announcement.
The scripts are automatically posted at 1 a.m. each day.
We know that some of you receive them too late to make
use of the skywatching information they contain. But Star Date
also has a little magazine, which you can order, and which
contains all the same skywatching information as the radio
series. If anyone wants a sample copy, please send me your
mailing address, and I'll forward it to the editor of the magazine.
What follows is a list of Star Date stations, current as
of October 20, 1986:
