[upbeat electronic music] Astronomy Cast, episode 798, Our Summer Media List. Welcome to Astronomy Cast, our weekly fact-based journey through the cosmos, where we help you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know. I'm Fraser Cain. I'm the publisher of Universe Today. With me, as always, is Dr. Pamela Gay, a senior scientist for the Planetary Science Institute and the director of CosmoQuest. All right, Pamela, I'm gonna ask you the question: how are you?
Pamela Gay· Host1:10
I am humid, or at least my room is humid.
Fraser Cain· Host1:14
So are we. Ugh.
Pamela Gay· Host1:15
It's, it's like- Yeah ... 30,000%. I mean, it's- Mm ... it's actually in this room 88% humidity, and I- Ugh ... I had to turn the dehumidifier off to record. So- Yeah ... yeah.
Fraser Cain· Host1:28
Yeah, we, we got nasty hot yesterday.
