In this April Fool’s edition of StarDate Susitna, host and producer Kathleen Fleming begins by talking about the waxing-to-full moon this week. She continues to expand her listeners’ knowledge of Venus, with a discussion of Venutian cycles, and the ancient Mayans’ understanding of them. She also explains why Venus, as a thinning crescent this month, actually gets *brighter*. How can this be? Audio is ten minutes.
