H’ad Astra Historia - Ep 304: More ‘This Month in Astronomical History’ Sedna & Lunokhod ~ The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast

Today’s ‘guest’ is HAD’s This Month in Astronomical
History. I’ll be reading more essays from the archives:
Emily McMahon’s November 2020 essay titled,
“Sedna: In the Depths of the Solar System”, and Dr. Ken
Rumstay’s November 2022 essay titled, “Lunokhod 1 - The
First Extraterrestrial Rover”. Please note that Emily was a high
school student when she wrote her essay, so you don’t have to be
an astronomer or astrophysicist to write for TMIAH.

H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical
Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We’re
here to share stories from and about the people who study the
stars, planets, and the cosmos. We’ll be hearing from individuals
who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who
lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the
last 50 years or so.
