Astronomical Update
We turn our gaze to all things astronomical, from the discovery of water on the moon and the Leonid meteor shower that will light up the skies this week, to the discovery of a bloated planet that rotates backwards. We also discuss the science -- or lack thereof -- in the new movie "2012" which imagines Earth's end.
