Seven days a week, 88.1 The One presents the longest-running national radio science feature in the country: StarDate.

It debuted in 1978, and has aired almost 10,000 episodes since then. In addition to KNTU, StarDate airs on more than 300 stations nationwide.

Host Sandy Wood tells listeners what to look for in the night sky, and explains the science, history and skylore behind these objects. StarDate also keeps listeners up to date on the latest research findings and space missions. And it offers tidbits on astronomy in the arts and popular culture, providing ways for people with many diverse interests to keep up with the universe.

StarDate is a production of The University of Texas McDonald Observatory, which also produces the Spanish-language Universo radio program and Universo Online web site and the bi-monthly StarDate magazine.
