Steve Nerlich
Steve Nerlich is a regular writer for
Universe Today, is
a
NASA Deep Space Network volunteer
explainer,
and is the producer of the occasionally amusing and always educational
Cheap
Astronomy podcasts.
Steve runs the
Cheap Astronomy site.
Cheap Astronomy is about exploring the universe. Maybe just with your
eyes or maybe with binoculars or maybe even with an out-of-the-box
department store telescope. Everything on the site is aimed at people
who want to do real astronomy for under $300 — and that includes
$0. At Cheap Astronomy, the goal is find interesting stuff to look at
while you are walking the dog, maybe spot a red supergiant as you take
out the garbage, or admire the rings of Saturn through a bargain
basement
telescope.
