This is a 250 year tribute to American astronomers. Stars figure large in our early American identity - from the first flags of 1777 to the star charts in Ben Franklin's popular almanacs. We will explore how the science of astronomy developed from the signing of the Declaration of Independence right up to the present time. And we will clue you in on where to look in the sky to see a star, whose light began on its journey to the Earth 250 years ago, and is only arriving now, for us to view in 2026. Joe Rao holds Broadcast Seals of Approval from the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and National Weather Association (NWA) and is an 8-time Emmy Nominated broadcast meteorologist.

Theo of Golden by Alan Levi One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from...or why... His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers. Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their "rightful owners." With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.
