A forbidden planet gets the spotlight.

Then Bruce Betz and I will team up for what's up and a look back at this week in Space

History.

We'll also let you know what you can look for in the upcoming night sky.

for the juice mission.

We were so excited about this mission's observations of Jupiter's moons, but then the mission

hit a snag.

The antenna on one of the instruments failed to deploy after its launch in April.

It took some doing, but the mission engineers finally managed to deploy the antenna by using

another moving part in the spacecraft to dislodge a jammed pin.
