Space Nuts Episode 316 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hello there. My name is Andrew Dunkley the host of the Space Nuts podcast, where every week we talk astronomy and space science. And coming up soon will be episode 316. And joining me will be Professor Fred Watson. Astronomer at large. Hi, Fred. What's on the next episode.
Fred: We're going to talk about the shortest day on record. There you are. That's an enticing one. Then we've got an all-questions episode, so we're going to answer questions ranging from the motion of the moon throughout the year to what it would be like to be in orbit around a giant star.
Andrew: Okay. Sounds like fun. The shortest day. June 29. You'd feel pretty ripped off if it was your birthday, I imagine.
Fred: I think so.
Andrew: Maybe not as ripped off as you think you might be.
Fred: Sure.

Space Nuts Episode 315 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hello again. Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. Hope you’re well, and I hope you can join us on the next episode, episode 315, because we’ve got a lot to talk about. And joining me will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What's coming up?
Fred: It we've got a bumper packed show for listeners this week. As always. Going to start off by talking about a brand new telescope that is getting launched not launched into space, but launched into its mission, at Siding Spring Observatory in north-western New South Wales. And we're going to talk about whether we should be looking closer to the sun to find near Earth objects.
Andrew: We will also be answering some audience questions. Andrew from Vancouver is following up what happens next with the New Horizons probe because it's sort of finished its mission couple of years ago. And Neil in Sydney says the sun sucks. Why? We will tell you on the next edition of Space Nuts. Download from your favorite podcast distributor.

Space Nuts Episode 317 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hi, there. Thanks for joining us. Well, I hope you do - for episode 317 of Space Nuts the podcast. I'm Andrew Dunkley, your host, and joining me every week is Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What are we talking about this week, Fred?
Fred: Action Pack show as always, Andrew. We're going to talk about more observations that suggest that dark matter is not what we think it is. And we're also going to talk about a new supercomputer that we've got here in Australia. And I'm going to explain why I'm wearing this hi-vis vest.
Andrew: Yes, I'm wondering. It's not a good look.
Fred: Wait till you see what it is.
Andrew: Okay. All right will do. We'll also be answering some audience questions, but Fred doesn't know what they are. We're going to do a bit of a potluck on him this week. He doesn't like it. But occasionally, it's fun to see how things pan out.
So, I hope you can join us for episode 317 of Space Nuts on your favorite podcast distributor, and we'll chat to you then.
