Astronomy Cast Episode 417

Expectation Failed

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 the universe today.

With me is Dr. Pamela Gay, a professor at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, and the director of Cosmic Quest. Hey, how are you doing?

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

I am doing great. Just to let everyone know, this is the pen ultimate episode of this season of Astronomy Cast.

So we have this episode and then we have one more episode, title unknown, and then we will take the summer off as we always do.

And then we'll be back right after Dragon Con in early September.

So if you're wondering why episodes aren't showing up on your pod catching software, that will be why.

We'll be back. Don't worry. Don't cry.

So so in looking at what would be possible for the next show episode, we've been taking somewhat advantage of the HTTP error codes since we hit number 400 because it's fun.

And error code 418 is I'm a teapot.

Whoa.

And we need to figure out how to turn that into an episode.

I got well, I mean, honestly, we can talk about some kind of like, you know, quantum mechanics.

Tempest in X-E pot.

No, like, well, either we can talk about sort of, it was a ton. Seriously, that is the 418 error code.

That's the 418 error code.

I love it. I love it. I got a million ideas. We'll talk after the show.
