Sometimes, using infrared telescopes, we can SEE PLANETS AROUND OTHER STARS!!!
In episode 7 my old friends Rupinder Brar and Joanna Woo join me to talk about the methods through which astronomers detect the existence of extrasolar planets. To help keep us in line and on time, we’ve invited Ryan North of Dinosaur comics. FANTASTIC!
Note: There’s some Extra conversation after the end music. we talk about Star Trek.
Guest: Ryan North
Physicists: Joanna Woo, Rupinder Brar
Intro Music: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
Exit Music: John Vanderslice
Ryan North makes such comments, I think you should have him on as a permanent guest
Ryan is so clever it’s crazy! But explaining physics to a variety of people is the spice of life.
Great show! The first one I listened to! LMAO!
Oh, btw, for all the nerds and geeks out there ‘M’ class isn’t a human classification from Star Trek. It’s actually Vulcan.
