Astronomy Cast, episode 381, hollowing asteroids.

Welcome to Astronomy Cast, our weekly facts based on 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 King, 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 CosmQuest.

Hey Pamela, how are you doing?

I'm doing well. How are you doing, Fraser?

Good. So once again, it's the summer season is upon us and that means that your neighborhood is being threatened with all kinds of inclement weather.

We may have a little bit of thunder during this podcast.

Yeah, we had some thunder happen in the pre-show as we were getting prepped. I heard some thunder in the background of your recording.

Leave it in, Preston, if you hear this, leave it only.

Not sure how you remove thunder.

Don't remove the thunder, yeah, exactly.

Although it looks like the storm is turning just slightly north of us so we may get lucky.

So you've got some bit of an announcement to talk about some of our astroghear?

Yes, so it is an amazingly exciting summer.

We have everyone is totally aware Pluto, Pluto, Pluto, everyone is talking Pluto.

And we have a shirt over at astroghear.spreadshirt.com that says explore planet Pluto classic.

It's a total parody of the Coke classic logo, um, Folly Legal under parody law.

And there's also series people keep forgetting. It's the other former planet.

So in the name of parody, we paraded the pork, the other white meat logo and made a series, the other former planet.

So you can show if you're team Pluto or team series by getting yourself your own.
