Welcome to a special bonus episode of Today in Space!


In this episode, Alex talks more about himself and his experiences with college.

This episode features the first "Lightning Round", a little experimental piece that could make it's way to being a regular segment. Let me know what you think, email the show at todayinspace.net/contact

At the end, Alex talks about his theory of perspective and reference frame and why it is so important after he couldn't find Comet Lovejoy...even with a star map.


Enjoy & Thanks for listening!


CORRECTION:

Ceres is being approached by the Dawn Mission, while Charon & Pluto are being approached by the New Horizons mission. If I mentioned that after Ceres, it will see Pluto...I was wrong.
