Description
Connie and Dava begin the interview discussing how her book is intended for those that do not have a deep interest in the subject of astronomy or may even be ignorant of it. They go on to talk about the nine planets and Pluto’s insecure classification as a planet before proceeding to talk about astrology and its connection to astronomy. Connie and Dava then discuss her writing narratives in the book from the perspective of other objects and people, and whether or not that is fiction writing, before discussing the mythology and science of Earth and the other planets. They proceed to talk about Dava’s next planned projects, and Connie closes the interview requesting an autograph for her copy of the book.
