March 12th show online

I know it is unconscionably late, but the 2008 March 12th show is finally online and available here. On this program, I discussed:

  • Calendar of upcoming Astronomy/science events in the greater New York and Poughkeepsie area
  • Interview with Dr. Tod Strohmayer of Goddard Space Flight Center on accreting neutron stars, and what you can learn by observing them with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer
  • News:Doritos plans to broadcast advertisement into space; astronomers at University of Western Ontario videotape a meteor falling to Earth - numerous on-going and future projects are trying to identify and track such Near-Earth Objects before they hit the Earth; with Spring beginning, so is peak Aurora Borealis season - likely the result of a favorable alignment between the Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind; Cassini to dive into the water plume being ejected by Saturn's moon Enceladus
Thank you very much for your patience, and hope you enjoyed listening to it. As always, please email me any questions you might have or leave them below.
