Hi there podcast fans just checking in saying hi because I haven't done that for you

folks in a while you know we just keep growing as a podcast it's incredible no it's

not incredible it's credible but amazing and wonderful.

How big planetary radio is now on the web.

And you're largely responsible for that after all,'re listening and some of you have taken the trouble to review us

Post something on iTunes or Stitcher or Sound Cloud or wherever you find us.

Maybe it's at planetary.org slash radio.

But I will ask, as I have a few times in the past,

if you have not given us a rating or gone even beyond that and done an actual review.

I would be extremely grateful if you would do so.

It makes a huge difference to those sources of the program and to other at least potential

listeners who might only blunder upon us online and need a little peer

pressure, a little peer assistance to find out just how much fun we have with this show.

Thanks very much for the help.

I hope you enjoy this week's Out of this World program, ha ha, here it is.

An Earth-like world, right around the corner, this week on planetary radio. Welcome. I'm Matt Kaplan of the Planetary Society with more of the Human Adventure across our

Solar System and beyond.

There's a pale red dot out there just beyond our grasp.

Proximab is the nearly Earth-mass planet that was announced with justified fanfare last week.

We'll talk with Michael Endel, one of its discoverers.

Bill Nye has the week off, but Senior Editor Emily Lockwala is here with an early report on Juno's swing past mighty Jupiter.

Jupiter's Moon Europa is just one of the venues a few of you would like to see added to the Olympics
