Today's 2 topics:
- The Planetary Society has initiated and funded the LightSail. It is a loaf of bread sized spacecraft which will hitch a ride aboard a rocket being launched on another mission.
- Recently (in 2015?) people from all over the world met in Italy to discuss ways that humans can prepare for the unlikely, but not impossible, situation that an object is on an impact trajectory with planet Earth. They were were presented with a hypothetical asteroid threat.
We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
