Today we welcome back to the studio our astronomers: Bob Berman and Valerie Rapson! They are here to answer your questions about the moon, the sun and everything else in our solar system! WAMC's Ray Graf hosts.

One of the best-known and most widely-read astronomers in the world, Bob is the astronomy editor for the Old Farmer’s Almanac and a contributing editor at Astronomy Magazine.

Doctor Valerie Rapson earned her Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences and Technology from RIT. Her research focused on the structure and composition of planet-forming disks around nearby young stars. Dr. Rapson spent 5 years developing and teaching astronomy education programs for the Dudley Observatory, and is now an Assistant Professor in the Physics and Astronomy department at SUNY Oneonta.
