August 20106 Aug 2010 at 2:34am O Canada. In the show this time we have two more interviews from Dave's visit to the University of Western Ontario. We hear about lunar geology from Dr Irene Antonenko [10:45 - 38:10] and Alex de Souza tells us about star formation [38:10 - 44:56]. As always, Megan brings us the latest astronomical news [01:41 - 10:16] and we hear what can be seen in the August night sky in the northern hemisphere from Ian Morison [50:16 - 62:05] and in the southern hemisphere from John Field at the Carter Observatory [62:13 - 66:40]. Listen to the PodcastNASA's Forgotten Tapes12 May 2010 at 3:00pm In the mid 1960s, NASA launched the first of five lunar orbiters. Each one transmitted hundreds of images of the moon?s surface back to Earth, which NASA recorded onto miles of analog tape. It was state of the art technology for the 1960s. But today, it?s mostly forgotten. For the last 40 years, the tapes from the Lunar Orbiter missions have collected dust in a warehouse, and the computer drives that could read them have gone the way of the dinosaurs. In this podcast, we talked to Dennis Wingo, an engineer who?s working to recover the images from the now-obsolete tapes. Podcast produced by David Levin. NOVA is produced by WGBH in Boston.
