365 days of Astronomy is proud announce our new
weekly feature: Astronomy Word of the Week, with
the United States Naval Observatory’s own Christopher Crockett.
Astronomy Word of the Week has quickly become our most popular weekly feature.

Dr. Crockett’s research involves searching for planets around very young stars. It’s hoped that the results from this research will help constrain models of planet formation and lead to a better understanding of where, when, and how often planets form.

Chris is also passionate about astronomy outreach and education and will talk for hours about the Universe if you let him. And you can let him, by listening to his
Astronomy Word of the Week, once a week, on 365 days of Astronomy.
