Looking back at 2007 with Emily and Bruce this week on planetary Radio. Radio.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to Public Radio's Travel Show that takes you to the Final Frontier.

I'm Matt Kaplan.

Today, something we've never done before. That was

the year that was in space. There was news from every planet in our solar system and even

some from a few planets outside our neighborhood. in our

neighborhood. I'll be joined by two of my favorite people for a review of just a few of the

stories that made 2007 such an exciting year in planetary science.

You know them well.

Bruce Betts is the Planetary Society's director of projects,

while Emily Loch Wala is the Society Science and Technology Coordinator.

They are also my partners in this weekly half hour, and I can't think of anyone who is better suited

to walk us through the last 12 months.

We'll forego the Q&A segment but Emily will return next week

with another fascinating response to a question one of you has sent her.

And don't forget the next week will bring us the premiere of our weekly

commentaries by Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Join us for a planet-sized helping of his PB&J, that's the passion, beauty, and

joy of space science.

We didn't use up all the news from around the universe last year.

As always, a good place to see the latest is in Emily Lachtowalla's space blog at planetary.org.
