We've made a perhaps long-overdue edit to the soundtrack of The Cowboy Astronomer.

We've removed the words about "the SpaceLab that goes up on the shuttle" -- since we haven't had either of those for 12+ years.

And we've removed the lines about people maybe had "heard the Hubble Space Telescope was broken". Back in 1993 when we produced the show, that was indeed the public's perception, before the first Servicing Mission installed COSTAR to fix the spherical aberration of the primary mirror. But now, 30+ years later, most people know how wonderfully Hubble has performed; nobody thinks it's "broken" any more.

People continue to run "The Cowboy Astronomer", and stream it on FULLDOME OnDemand. Hopefully, it will continue its popularity for years to come.

Here's last year's news, if you haven't been here for a while and want to catch up.
