The Summer Sky - An Astronomy Update

Look up! Go out at night this August, away from the city lights and there's much to see, the Summer Milky Way, the Summer Triangle and the soon to arrive Perseid meteor showers. But beyond the naked eye, beyond even our telescopes there's a lot going on in space that might soon change the way we view the universe. Our Astronomy authority John Gianforte updates us on all the "out of this world" happenings going on right now in space... from a new nebula, to a change in the way we think of black holes, to missions on Mars, Mercury and Saturn. Trish's guest is John Gianforte, Astronomy instructor for the University System of New Hampshire's College of Lifelong Learning, Co-founder of the Astronomical Society of Northern New England and monthly astronomy columnist for Foster's Daily Democrat.
