  2. Say what you will about our Oracle's #myth for #microscopium this month, but I *do* want to know who the "sky artisan" is (ahem, was stolen from...)

    For more details check out this week's episode: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

    P.S. there is a new episode coming tomorrow, but will go live a little later in the day than usual!

  3. Our new #myths and retcons(tellations) episode on the #constellation #Microscopium is out now!

    This episode features:
    ⚔️ contentious claims about inventions
    🤩 the wonders of the telescope
    📚 an aggressively long book subtitle
    🔬 what would happen if Greek mythology included a microscope...

    and more!

  4. New episode tomorrow -- we'll be waxing poetic to pitch myths to make #microscopium (the microscope) capture your minds, your hearts, and your VERY SOULS!

    You can find our episode on the #astronomy of this constellation here if you missed it: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

  5. Me: The #Disney Hercules is one of my top 3 animated disney movies & the animated tv show is a real vibe

    also me, esp. in any episode where #Hercules weasels his way in: AND A BIG 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕to Hercules!!!!!

    my feelings about Hercules are clearly v. nuanced.

    To get more of the latter takes, check out our last #podcast on the #mythology of the #constellation #Sagitta here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

    P.S. New episode tomorrow 🤗

  6. My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:

    Kate Bishop Hawkeye
    Merida from Brave
    Robin Hood

    ... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!

  7. On the one hand, I am glad Hercules got rid of the Stymphalian birds (bc scary). On the other hand, i hate watching a bad-to-mediocre man fail upward so often...

  9. Ever wondered, where exactly is Gaia 17bpi??

    Welp, Spitzer has you covered!

    Located in our #constellation of the month Sagitta, Gaia 17bpi is a young star that nom nommed (that's the technical term, I'm sure) some of the matter around it, causing the star to brighten.

    Gaia 17bpi is a member of the FU Orionis class of stars (as an aside: FU orion *is* a thing I think, but that's not what it means here... you can find out more about that on our #orion #mythology pod here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/)
