Hey Lautif from Radio Lab here, we are partnering with the International Astronomical Union to give you a chance to name one of Earth's quasi moons.

And this isn't like the naming a star after your dead pet kind of thing.

This will be the official forever name of this guazzy moon.

Submit a name now through September or vote on the name you like best in November.

It's your chance to leave your mark on the heavens.

communicator, are parents willing and able to listen to their children?

To test the idea, Lawson set up a wildlife-based climate course for kids.

This approach was based on previous courses,
