This week we are exploring the liminal spaces. Looking for answers between what we think that we know and the unknown spaces.

Stargazing by Jiali Hong

Do you ever just sit still at night and just look at the stars? 

It's probably pretty hard to do if you live in the city, but if you get out of the city, into the bush on a clear night, you might be surprised at what you can see.  

Producer Jiali interviews Sam, a 26-year-old astrophysicist who drives outside of the cities to chase stars in the night sky.
