NPR: Moon Investigated; Solar Bubble Found

Paul D. Spudis, a Senior Staff Scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas, was on National Public Radio Talk of the Nation Next Stop: the Moon, today with Ira Flatow. Spudis is author of the blog 'The Once and Future Moon.'

NPR's Science Friday host Ira Flatow also reported today on the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft last year to investigate the edges of the heliosphere — the insulating bubble the sun creates around the solar system. IBEX principal investigator David McComas tells radio listeners on the first surprising results. More about this story in video one and two.
