Podcaster: Dr. Pamela Gay
Title: The Daily Space: Betelguese, Betelguese, Betelguese (and 2 other stories)
Organization: Astronomy Cast

Description: Today we start off with a quick take on everyone’s favorite fading star, Betelguese. This red giant is fading away right before the eyes of anyone with clear skies, and we don’t know why, and many hope it might be gearing up to explode (but it probably isn’t). Join us as we discuss what we do and don’t know about this system. We also take a quick look at new ways to study 3-body systems with statistics, and new research that uses stats to show that our solar system is likely ripe with alien small objects, like comets and asteroids.
Bio: Dr. Pamela Gay is a Senior Scientist at Planetary Science Institute and a Director of CosmoQuest.
