The Universe in Ultraviolet: Bill Blair on the FUSE Mission

Airdate: Monday, October 29, 2007
Running Time: 00:28:52
Listen: Windows Media | MP3

The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer is dead, and astrophysicist Bill Blair helped to kill it. He tells us why, and shares the wonder of this very successful eight-year mission. Emily Lakdawalla explains why the New Horizons Pluto mission probably won't shed light on the mysterious Pioneer anomaly, and Bruce Betts gives Mat Kaplan a What's Up! look at the night sky and announces a new space trivia contest. And remember, we're celebrating Planetary Radio's fifth anniversary -- anyone who submits a correct answer in one of the next four weekly space trivia contests will be eligible for special prizes, including a certified fragment of a Mars meteorite donated by Spaceflori.com. Only one entry per person per week. Contest ends November 21, 2007.
