en-us Space exploration and planetary science. (Weekly) Mat Kaplan http://planetary.org/radio/ Space exploration and planetary science. (Weekly) Each week, Planetary Radio visits with a scientist, engineer, project manager, advocate or writer who can provide a unique perspective on the quest for knowledge about our solar system and beyond. We also showcase regular features that raise your space IQ while they put a smile on your face. Produced by The Planetary Society. Visit our web site for an episode guide and broadcast directory.

(Ned) Wright returns to report on the completed first whole sky survey by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. The mission has discovered thousands of new asteroids and other objects. Emily Lakdawalla shares images of a huge new Mars rover on the move and dancing ring particles at Saturn. Bill Nye looks forward to boating on the lakes of Saturn's moon Titan.

Now it heads for its rendezvous with a comet. Rosetta Operations Manager Andrea Acomazzo reports from Germany on the mission. Emily Lakdawalla has assembled a family portrait of every asteroid and comet visited so far. Bill Nye comments on the likelihood that specks of another asteroid were returned to Earth by Japan's Hayabusa.

Emily Lakdawalla provides a preview of July's big events around the solar system. Bill Nye sees signs of climate change at the edge of space. Bruce Betts and Mat Kaplan have decided who should be helped to buy a slightly used space shuttle.
