Ever wanted to chat with a Nobel Prize winner? Now's your chance. Because this Friday astrophysicist Adam Riess joins us, and we'll be opening up the phones to your questions. Riess shared the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, but Friday's conversation could cover any topic in space science. Want to talk about dark matter? Dark energy? Pluto's fifth moon? Or how about the new spy telescopes NASA inherited? We'll be looking to you to shape the conversation.
As background, here's a look back at some of our recent astrophysics coverage. Hope to hear from you Friday! In the meantime, leave your topic suggestions and questions in the comments.
