Astronomy Cast, episode 314 from Monday, July 8, 2013.

Acceleration.

Welcome to Astronomy Cast, our weekly facts based journey through the cosmos, where we help you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know.

My name is Fraser Kane, I'm the publisher of Universe Today, and with me is Dr. Pamela Gay, a professor at Southern Illinois University at Woodsville, and the director of CosmoQuest.

I'm so, like, it's on Fox.
