Space on the John Batchelor Show: Bob Zimmerman and Hotel Mars, June 4-7, 2013

Bob Zimmerman reports on the latest space news during regular weekly slots (usually Tuesday and Thursdays) on the John Batchelor radio program. See the iTunes free Podcast for links to the latest shows.

Tues 6/4/13 Batchelor Hour 4 :

  •  The Sun makes the scientists look good — for now!   :  For the third month in a row, the Sun has shown increased sunspot activity. Though the total activity continues to remain well below all predictions, it appears that the Sun is going to produce a double-peaked maximum, as predicted by some solar scientists back in March. Be aware however that this prediction isn’t based on any real understanding of the physical processes that produce sunspots but is instead based on the fact that the Sun has sometimes done this in the past.

Thur 6/6/13 Batchelor Hour 3

  • Repairs to the cracks in the first Orion capsule have withstood static stress tests.

Fri 6/07/13 Batchelor Hour 2:

  • Climate versus climate models
