This month we return to CCAT but instead of focusing on it, we learn a bit about why makes Chile such great place for astronomy. 1) Carl talks with astronomers to learn what telescopes Chile has to offer. 2) Betsey interviews Prof. Terry Jordon to learn about the geology of Chile and why the Atacama desert is such a great place for astronomy.

#016: CCAT Podcast 2 - Astronomy and Geology in Chile

We at Ask an Astronomer are a collection of volunteer graduate students at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, along with David Kornreich, a professor at Ithaca College. We have a website which we have run for about a decade where we answer a variety of astronomy related questions submitted by readers. Our website is http://curious.astro.cornell.edu.
