We're back. Space Nuts. 2023. I'm Andrew Dunkley, your host, and
joining me, as always, will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at
large. Hi, Fred. Happy new year. Probably too late to say that, but
anyway, it's the first time we've chatted a break. Now, what's
coming up on the 337th edition of Space nuts? Well, a near miss
asteroid we've got to talk about. Asteroid 2023 BU, which flew past
the earth very closely recently. It was almost a record breaker in
that regard. We'll cover that. And we'll also talk about some new
results from the James Webb telescope about the molecules and
chemicals that are being found deep in icy clouds in space. Wow.
All right. It's just always something new coming from the James
Webb space telescope. And some audience questions. Harold wants to
know about self-cleaning rovers. Good idea. Sandy in Melbourne
wants to talk about how spacecraft targets small objects in space
and more. Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff. Space Nuts
