China National Space Administration

This week on Looking Skyward, Brian and Regina discuss a variety of celestial topics: a meteor that hit the moon during the recent eclipse (and that made for some spectacular photos), a Chinese  rover that landed on the far side of the moon, and the Cassini spacecraft recently discovered that Saturn’s rings may not be anywhere near as old as previously thought.

Looking Skyward can be heard every other week on All Things Considered on WCAI.
