#35 Planet Neptune. The most distant major planet in our solar system and the first to be located by mathematical calculations. Let's take a look.

Uranus. Stop giggling, is the first planet to be discovered by telescope. The inner planets have always been known about, but Uranus need to wait until the telescope was invented.Let&apos;s take a closer look.Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on Twitter for some special content twitter.com/CosmicCoffTimeYou can request a topic for the show!

#34 Planet Uranus. Is that how you say it? The ice giant that was the first planet that needed to be 'discovered'.

Jupiter is the first of the gas giant planets. Let&apos;s take a look at what makes these planets different from the inner planets. It has a fascinating set of moons that help make up the Jovian system, and we find out how it subtle set of planetary rings were discovered.Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on Twitter for some special content twitter.com/CosmicCoffTimeYou can request a topic for the show!

#33 Planet Jupiter. It's more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined and it's a gas giant. What makes Jupiter different from the rocky terrestrial planets, and does it really have planetary rings?

How do you keep a chemistry class&apos;s attention in the age of smart phones? Explosions, loud noises and passion! That&apos;s how Kate the Chemist does it. Dr. Kate Biberdorf is a professor of chemistry at the University of Texas and she&apos;s a science entertainer. She amazed Stephen Colbert with the elephant&apos;s toothpaste experiment on Late Night, and blasted a thousand ping pong balls into the air on the Kelly Clarkson Show.She took a break from exploding hydrogen balloons and breathing fire to have an awesome chat with us about her STEM army, firing up kids&apos; imaginations with science and exploding a few myths about women in STEM. Her new book It&apos;s Elemental reveals the hidden science in everyday life.Check out It&apos;s Elemental here - harpercollins.com/products/its-elemental-kate-biberdorf?variant=39307415388194Kate&apos;s website - katethechemist.com

#32 Kate the Chemist special. We meet with Dr. Kate Biberdorf to talk STEM, TV's Ice Road Truckers, and her new book It's Elemental

We have a great chat with Earl Swift about NASA&apos;s lunar rovers and his new book Across the Airless Wilds. It&apos;s a fascinating dive into the last three moon landings and what could be regarded as the pinnacle of human exploration.Earl recounts his time with astronauts Charlie Duke and Dave Scott, and Laszlo Kestay from the United States Geological Survey, and gives us some incredible insights into the the design process of the lunar rovers and their place in the history of exploration.Earl&apos;s website is: earlswift.comWatch the lunar rover in action on the moon - the Lunar Grand Prix film: youtube.com/watch?v=az9nFrnCK60Find Across the Airless Wilds: harpercollins.com/products/across-the-airless-wilds-earl-swift?variant=32915592249378 

#31 A conversation with Earl Swift about NASA's lunar rovers and his new book - Across the Airless Wilds

There&apos;s a lot about Mars that is very Earth-like, from the length of a day to the kinds of seasons it has. Being a neighbouring planet, it&apos;s no surprise that we talk about sending astronauts to Mars. While we&apos;re waiting, let&apos;s take a look at some of the super cool spacecraft that have already been to Mars.Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on Twitter for some special content twitter.com/CosmicCoffTimeYou can request a topic for the show!Email it to cosmiccoffeetime@gmail.com

#30 Planet Mars. Lets take a look at the friendliest planet beyond Earth and some of the cool spacecraft that have been there

Earth. It&apos;s home to every living thing we&apos;ve ever known, but what if we really take a step back and study our planet the same way we study the others. What everyday events have an astronomical cause. And what about all that water, and all that life!Grab a coffee and join us for a view of our own planet, from outside.Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on Twitter for some special content twitter.com/CosmicCoffTimeYou can request a topic for the show!

#29 Planet Earth. Let's take a look at our home - as a planet, in a solar system.

Planet Venus is sometimes called Earth&apos;s twin. It&apos;s the same size and in planetary terms it&apos;s close by, but why isn&apos;t it our first choice for exploration? Some of the differences make Venus super difficult to study so in a way it remains mysterious.  Why is it difficult to study? And what makes the environment on Venus so harsh? Grab a coffee and join us as we unravel the mystery and take a closer look.

#28 Planet Venus. It's Earth's twin - but somehow remains mysterious. Let's take a look.

We don&apos;t get to hear much about planet Mercury. It took us a long time to learn much about it and only two spacecraft have ever been there.Let&apos;s take a look at some of the little known but fascinating facts about Mercury&apos;s history, why it has the longest day in the solar system and what we&apos;ve learned from lonely pair of spacecraft that have visited it.  Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on Twitter for some special content twitter.com/CosmicCoffTimeYou can request a topic for the show!

#27 Planet Mercury normally keeps a low profile, but let's take a closer look at the first planet from the sun.

So back in the 1930&apos;s, astronomers noticed that there didn&apos;t seem to be enough mass in galactic clusters to hold them together, but they were held together. There mas be some additional mass and gravity to hold everything together, but where is it? It can&apos;t be seen. And this problem produced the theory of dark matter. Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on Twitter for some special content twitter.com/CosmicCoffTimeYou can request a topic for the show!
