Weekly Space Hangout – January 25, 2013

(Before It's News)

Back by popular demand… the Weekly Space Hangout has returned. This is a weekly broadcast on Google+, where I’m joined by a wide and varied team of space and astronomy journalists to discuss the big breaking stories this week.

This week, we talked about:

• Curiosity Works at Night – Emily Lakdawalla
• Opportunity’s 9th Anniversary
• An 8th Century Gamma Ray Burst – Amy Shira Teitel
• The Manatee Nebula – Nicole Gugliucci
• Detailed View of Betelgeuse – Fraser Cain
• New Astronomy Thesaurus – Scott Lewis
• Dung Beetles Navigate with the Milky Way – Nicole Gugliucci

We record the Weekly Space Hangout every Friday on Google+ at 12:00 pm PST / 3:00 pm EST / 2000 GMT. You’ll want to circle Cosmoquest on Google+ to find out when we’re recording next. The audio for the Weekly Space Hangout is also released to the Astronomy Cast podcast feed.
