Solar System round-up

from Pythagorean Astronomy Hosted by Chris North and Edward Gomez

It’s a busy year in the Solar System for robotic explorers, with New Horizons on the way to distant Pluto, Dawn orbiting Ceres in the outer asteroid belt, and Rosetta and Philae accompanying comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as it makes its closets approach to the Sun. This month Dr Edward Gomez and I chat about these missions, as well as some recent results about exploding stars way across the cosmos! Originally broadcast (in edited form) on 28th May 2015 as part of Pythagoras’ Trousers on Radio Cardiff.
