Astronomy Cast, episode 325, cold fusion.

Welcome to Astronomy Cast, our weekly facts-based journey through the cosmos, where we help you understand 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, Edwardsville, and the director of CosmoQuest.

Hey Pamela, how you doing?

I'm doing well. I feel like a space cadet, and I'm going to blame all the winter weather for freezing my brain cells.

You totally should. It's awful. Just awful cold.

I think everyone's experienced it. It's like storms in the east, and it's just been a real cold snap here on the west coast.

We've gotten down to minus 12 Celsius, which for the people in the middle of Canada, they just laugh at me, but minus 12 is cold.

I slid backwards out of my driveway rather than rolling out of my driveway this morning.

Yeah, when you get this kind of warms up during the day, and then it gets really cold at night, and then you just get this black ice that forms, and it's a disaster.

So I just want to thank everyone for giving us a rating and a review on iTunes. We really appreciate it.

We got a ton of great reviews, and in fact, we sort of ended up on the What's Hot List for the US and for UK.

Which was awesome.

Yeah, so great. There was screen capture.

So thanks again. And then all types of want to remind you that you can, of course, you can subscribe to us on iTunes, or just using our podcast, our SS feed.

But also you can subscribe to us through YouTube. And so if you're on the astrosphere vids channel, make sure you subscribe on YouTube.

And then you will get notifications of all of these shows and all the other shows that we do through Cosmo Quest and astrosphere and university day.

And it's it's good stuff. So, and now I know a lot of people also were wondering where do they find the weekly space hangout, the audio only feed of it.

You can get that through the 365 days of astronomy feed. So if you subscribe to that, then you'll get the that every week as well.

Alright, let's get rolling.
