A astronomy cast, episode 514, Planetary, Taction, Probe calls.

Welcome to Astronomy Cast for Weekly Facts Based Journey through the Cosmos where you

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

I'm Fraser Kane, publisher of Universe Today with me as always, Dr. Pamela Gay, a senior

scientist for the Planetary Science Institute and the Director of CosmoQuest.

Hey Pam, how are you doing?

I'm doing well, how are you doing, Fraser?

I'm doing great, although painting technology, which was a conversation that we just had.

It happens.

It evolves quickly and sometimes sideways.

Yeah, exactly.

So I may sound a little different in my audio this time and that's just because I've had

to make some changes to the way I've got my audio, the way it's recording.

I don't know if it's going to be better or worse, I guess we'll find out.

Anything to shamelessly self-promote this week?

Yes, go to astrotours.co-star-strider and sign up to spend late August, August 22nd through

the 29th with me touring through the American Southwest going to great observatories, seeing

great landscapes, my favorite landscapes in the world.

And hey, there might even be Vegas baby involved.

So please, please, go tour the countryside.

This is where I spent my summers growing up so there's going to be lots of stories to

tell.
