Title: Explore the Universe with Science@ESA
Post by: sam on December 03, 2009, 16:32: Quote
If you're looking for some superb space and astronomy vodcasts, ESA has produced a series of informative video podcasts that explore our Universe as seen through the "eyes" of ESA's fleet of science spacecraft. "The Science@ESA podcast series was started as part of an education and public outreach project for the International Year of Astronomy," said Dr. Salim Ansari, from ESA's Directorate of Science and Robotic Exploration, "but it will continue on past IYA, continuing to cover more missions and discoveries."
