by Fraser Cain on January 20, 2012

Our weekly space hangout continues. This week we talk about boiling planets, re-Pillars of Creation, a galaxy made of dark matter, the return of Phobos-Grunt and a telescope the size of a planet.

    Thanks so much for putting this together. It’s GREAT to actually see those I view as principle players, all in one room! WAY double extre groovy cool!

    Keep up the great work you guys! UT just keeps getting better and better!

    I’m now addicted to cosmology thanks to a fabulous start with AstronomyCast (THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!). I was good and started with Episode #1 and am now up to #221.
    I’m retired and really sorry that I didn’t have a chance to pursue a career in science (other than computer science) but am now catching up on all I missed all those years. However I am also an AVID gardener so although I like watching, I mostly like to LISTEN while I am up to my elbows in dirt and flowers. Is there any way I can get iPod compatible audio only versions of Space Hangout?
    You are all the GREATEST and I have so much respect for you and your mission to share what you’ve learned with me and the rest of the world.
    Thank You!

    Hi, Fraser, you’re getting better and better at moderating the hangouts. Have not been able to watch it life, but will try next time. Maybe you can post the total number of watchers and actual life participants. Thanks and with greetings from Germany. Michael
