(Broadcast LIVE on Astronomy.FM on November 15th [GMT], 2011)

Join the astronomers of York University, Toronto, for an amazing look at the latest news from the Universe!  AND during the live broadcast (0200-0300 GMT / 9pm Eastern) York’s observatory is open for viewing over the internet (see our broadcast schedule for times).  This week Dr. Paul Delaney is joined by York astronomers Jesse Rogerson and Rob Berthiaume to discuss:

  • Will the Leonid meteor shower freak us out this year?
  • Roscosmos’ Phobos-Grunt mission is still “lost in space”; will it recover?
  • “The Mars Curse”
  • Jesse sees red[shift], and when the wind is just right can see all the way to the beginning of time
  • Uncle Ike (Newton) is RIGHT YET AGAIN!  Paul’s lesson plans are safe for another semester
