Dr. Alan Hale was the guest for this Space Show program. Dr. Hale, founder and director of the Southwest Institute for Space Research, spoke to us about his coming event, A Comet's Tale party to celebrate the 10th anniversary of discovering the Hale-Bopp comet. Dr. Hale also updated us about his Earthrise Project, an online book he has available consisting of all is writings and editorials for the past ten years, and his radio program on an FM station in Alamogordo, New Mexico. 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! Much is happening with Dr. Hale and the Southwest Institute of Space Research as it is in the world of astronomy and comet searches.
