Probing Where the Sun Does Shine: A Holiday Special - Radiolab
Description
This holiday season, in a special holiday drop, we want to take you on a trip around the heavens.
First, Latif, with the help of Nour Raouafi, of NASA, and an edge-cutting piece of equipment, will explain how we may finally be making good on Icarus’s promise. Then, Lulu and Ada Limón talk about how a poet laureate goes about writing an ode to one of Jupiter’s moons.
We have some exciting news! In the “Zoozve” episode, Radiolab named its first-ever quasi-moon, and now it's your turn! Radiolab has teamed up with The International Astronomical Union to launch a global naming contest for one of Earth’s quasi-moons. This is your chance to make your mark on the heavens.
