Today's 2 topics:
- In 1972 Apollo 16 astronauts took an ultraviolet image of the Earth from the Moon which shows that like the Sun, the Earth too, has a faint corona of gas surrounding it. Scientists are just beginning to explore how Earth's glow relates to our weather and climate.
- Humans are slamming projectiles into space rocks. These experiments will give us the know how to deal with a dangerous space rock which has our number on it.
