... is now online here. The program was on:
- News: ESA comet chaser Rosetta had its second fly-by around the Earth, NASA committee has narrowed down list of potential landing sites for future Mars rover "Mars Science Laboratory" to six, planning has started for future ESA (European Space Agency) X-ray satellite XEUS, CSIRO (Australian equivalent of NSF and DOE) announces new initiatize to figure out how to deal with massive datasets expected from future Astronomy facilities like the Square Kilometer Array, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA announces two conferences for high school teachers and students: "Basics of Interplanetary Space Flight" from 2007 December 1-2 and "Space Exploration's Rich History" from 2008 January 26-27, go here for more details.
- Extragalactic: Pierre Auger (in Argentina, not Chile as erroneously and stupidly say on the show) announces the ultra high energy cosmic rays are correlated with active galactic nuclei (AGN), Hubble detects shells of stars around quasar MC2 1635+119, analysis of Spitzer and Chandra images of other galaxies discovers that many more have active galactic nuclei than previously thought, rotating wind discovered around quasar PG 1700+518, Hubble images interaction between galaxies NGC 3808 and NGC 3808a (Arp 87), Hubble detects warp in spiral galaxy NGC 134.
- Galactic: Analysis of velocity of stars in seven dwarf satellites galaxies around Milky Way strongly suggests they contain lots of dark matter, Spitzer observes bubble of hot gas around young star HH46/47.
- Solar System: Modulation in bursts of radio emission from Saturn result of interaction with solar wind, tail of Comet 17P/Holmes has broken away from the comet
- Calendar
- Interview: with Dr. Kim Vy Tran of University of Zurich on the formation of the most massive galaxies. Sorry for the interruption by the emergency broadcasting system.
