Astronomy Cast Ep. 3 - Hot Jupiters & Pulsar Planets
The 365 Days of Astronomy - A podcast by 365DaysOfAstronomy.org
From Sept 22, 2006. You have lived on the Earth all your life, so you’d think you know plenty about planets. As usual though, the Universe is stranger than we assume, and the planets orbiting other stars defy our expectations. Gigantic super-Jupiters whirling around their parent stars every couple of days; fluffy planets with the density of cork; and Earth-sized fragments of exploded stars circling pulsars. Join us as we round up the latest batch of bizarro worlds. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
