Awesome Astronomy - July Part 2

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. The Discussion: Hubble’s still in trouble. (But got fixed!) Jeni’s presenting on the BBC’s Weatherman Walking. Ideas for a new segment to replace the moons of the solar system.   The News: Ingenuity helicopter is exceeding all expectations. Russia looks to expand its real estate on the ISS. NASA’s Artemis 1 is being stacked for a November launch. The Chinese space station gets a crew & a manned Mars mission in 2033! Bezos & Branson! Meh… But Wally Funk? Yay!   Moons of the Solar System: Our show segment exploring the discovery, exploration and our knowledge of the solar system’s moons. And we move onto the moons of Uranus.   Q&A: ”Are summers in the southern hemisphere are hotter than in the northern hemisphere because they’re close to the Sun at perihelion?” From our good friend Krista via Twitter.   www.awesomeastronomy.com   Bio: Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
