Welcome to Astronomycast for weekly facts-based journey through the cosmos, where we help you

0:59.6

understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know. I'm Fr. Cain, publisher of

1:03.6

University of University with me as always is Dr. Pamela Gay, a senior scientist for the planetary

1:08.6

sciences student and the director of causal growth. Hey Pam, how are you doing? I am cold.

1:14.1

I am cold. In my studio, it is 18 degrees Celsius. It's in the 60s inside the house because outside,
