There's plenty to talk about in the astronomical world these days. NASA launched the space shuttle Discovery on the fourth of July for a mission to the International Space Station, the two biggest storms in the solar system are about to pass each other on Jupiter, the dinosaur killer comet may have been found...and a prominent scientist suggests space colonization. John Clayton hosts. His guests are Mal Cameron, Education Specialist and Coordinator of the NASA Educator Resource Center at the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium, and John Gianforte, Astronomy instructor for the University System of New Hampshire's Granite State College, Co-founder of the Astronomical Society of Northern New England and monthly astronomy columnist for Fosters Daily Democrat.
