Join us today while we take a look at the final data set released by the RAVE spectroscopic survey of stars in the southern hemisphere. Also, scientists at Harvard’s CfA have characterized the “central engine” of a solar flare from our Sun. And finally, scientists in Europe observed a parent cloud feeding material to a pair of young stars.

Join us today as we talk some more about cosmic reionization and the mounting evidence it occurred very early in the Universe. We also look at two exoplanets, found using a ground-based telescope, that are gravitationally interacting. And we celebrate the Fourth of July here in the United States with some newly released images of cosmic fireworks.
