Planetary Radio returns to Uranus with radio astronomer and planetary scientist Mark Hofstadter of the Jet Propulsion Lab. The big blue globe is his favorite planet, though he enjoys heading out to the desert where the Very Large Array spreads over twenty miles. Mark also helps turn middle school kids into real astronomers. Emily Lakdawalla's Q&A considers the only moon with a belt, and Bruce Betts announces a new space trivia question and your last chance to qualify for the Planetary Radio fourth anniversary grand prize.

Guests

  • Mark Hofstadter, Jet Propulsion Laboratory
