A Sarmicast episode 573, exoplanet atmospheres.

Welcome to AstronomyCaster, 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 Cain, publisher of Universe Today with me is always his doctor, Pamela Gay,

a senior scientist for the Planetary Science Institute and the Director of Cosmicquest.

Hey Pamela, how you doing?

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

I'm doing great.

Again, you know, normally we talk about how wonderful the weather is but actually here

the weather's gotten really nasty again, it's gotten cold and rainy and it's been a

pretty mediocre springtime.

And we're stuck indoors.

Although amazingly, they've decided that the virus is pretty much wiped out on Vancouver

Island.

So, no cases in two weeks, nobody in the hospital, we have no issue.

So clearly what you need is absolutely no more travel, no guests, no visitors, isolate

the island, lock down the bars.

Yeah, no one else can come to our island until that vaccine gets created.

It was like a mini-New Zealand.

And so, yeah, we're not so lucky here.

We're dealing with the fact that the United States, the Memorial Day, Holiday Weekend,

led to lots of people getting together and we're having a resurgence nationwide.
