	Description:		The advances in Astronomy over the past century are both evidence of and confirmation of the highest heights of human ingenuity. We have learned by studying the frequency of light that the universe is expanding. By observing the orbit of Mercury that Einstein's theory of general relativity is correct. It probably won't surprise you to learn that Python and data science play a central role in modern day Astronomy. This week you'll meet Jake VanderPlas, an astrophysicist and data scientist from University of Washington. Join Jake and me while we discuss the state of Python in Astronomy.
