In response to listener questions, Dr. Hale updated us as to the location of Hale-Bopp, the search for near earth asteroids, impact possibilities with earth, and much more. We also discussed the Moon-Mars vision and its implementation, Hubble and earth-based telescopes, the Big Bang and red shift, and how to make a home radio telescope from a Dish TV antenna!
