Space Nuts Episode 319 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hello again. I'm Andrew Dunkley from the Space Nuts podcast, hoping you can join us on this episode. And my partner in crime is Professor Fred Watson, Astronomer at Large. Hi, Fred. What's coming up on episode three one nine?
Fred: We've got some great stuff as always, Andrew. We're going to ask the question, did the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs have a companion object that was traveling with it? That's an intriguing thing to look at. We're also going to look at some new observations of the largest known star in the universe. Wow.
Andrew: Okay. It's not you, is it?
Fred: Well, apart from me.
Andrew: A lot of people would say it's you.
Fred: No, I don't think so. But thank you very much for the compliment. And thank you to those people as well.
Andrew: Now, we'll also be hearing from a few of those people, some questions from the audience about Dyson Spheres, the Barycenter of the Earth and the Moon, and cosmic microwave background radiation. That’s one of the really interesting questions we're going to tackle. All coming up on this episode of Space Nuts. Download from your favorite podcast distributor.

Space Nuts Episode 318 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hi there. Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. Hope you can join us for episode 318. What are we going to be talking about, Fred?
Fred: We're going to talk about the discovery of a moon of an asteroid. And it's an important asteroid because this one is going to be visited by the Lucy spacecraft in the late 2020s.
We're also going to talk about upside down snow falling, or should it be rising, in the ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa. And there are listener questions to come which haven't yet revealed to me, but I understand they might be on the James Webb Space.
Andrew: They might be, because a lot of people are really fascinated by the James Webb Space Telescope, and that spawns a lot of questions.
So that's indeed what we will be talking about in episode 318 of Space Nuts with me, Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large.

Space Nuts Episode 320 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hello once again. I'm Andrew Dunkley, the host of Space Nuts, and every week we talk astronomy and space science with Professor Fred Watson, Astronomer at large. Hi, Fred. What are we talking about this week?
Fred: We've got a bumper show, as always, starting with what went wrong with Artemis One. We might just do a quick rundown on that. And then we've got, because it's episode 320, but who's counting... we've got an all question episode, including a question about the ice on Europa, ranging from that to really deep and meaningful questions like what is Space time? .
Andrew: And can you put it in your pocket?
Andrew: Can we bottle it and can you take it somewhere down an alley and sell it to somebody? All these questions will be answered today or very soon on the next episode of Space Nuts. Catch it the download from your favorite podcast distributor.
