Astronomy cast, episode 491, exoplanet update.

Welcome to Astronomy cast, a weekly facts based journey through the cosmos, where we

help you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know.

I'm Fraser Kane, publisher of the universe today, with me, as always is Dr. Pamela Gay,

the director of technology and citizen science at the Astronomical Society of Pacific, and

the director of CosmoQuest.

Hey Pamela, how you doing?

I'm doing well.

How are you doing, Fraser?

Good.

I have a fun announcement, which is, I don't know if you know, over on my regular YouTube

channel, I've been doing sort of an open QA, bringing in a special guest every week.

One of those guests will eventually be you, but the next week is going to be Dr. Alan

Stern and Dr. David Grinspoon, who are the creators of the new Pluto book about new horizons

and they're going to join me for a live QA on the channel.

Please tell me you have Michael Brown scheduled for some time a few weeks from now.

No, but I totally can.

So, you know, I've done a live stream chat with him a bunch of times.

So yeah, I know I will totally try to get the other side of the story.

And we obviously can never put them in the same room.

No.

So it's going to be last minute.
