Live special from July 1994
featuring images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope as the comet
Shoemaker-Levy 9 collides with Jupiter. Also included is commentary about the
event from scientists and artists. Hosted by Terry Gross, of the long-running Fresh Air on WHYY-FM (WHYY also produced
the show). This program was broadcast live at the time of the reception
of the first images of the impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 into Jupiter. The
show also features an early appearance of Bill Nye the Science Guy. You have to
be a real astronomy geek to appreciate this, but count me in right down to my
Boy Scout astronomy merit badge from the summer of 1978 at Stratton Mountain
Scout Reservation, Vt.
Originally recorded by myself on
the evening of the broadcast and posted from my personal archives to the Aeolus
