Host:	George Noory
Guests:	David Darling

In the middle two hours of the show,astrobiologist and astronomer Dr. David Darling(1) spoke about cosmic mysteries such as dark energy, the "red rain" phenomenon which fell in India, and the danger of asteroids. Global warming, which has the effect of expanding the atmosphere, makes the Earth a bigger target for incoming objects, he noted.
He also discussed his latest book Gravity's Arc(2) which takes a look at the central ideas about gravity from Aristotle to Galileo to Einstein. Gravity is one of the most familiar forces we know, he pointed out, yet it's also one of the most mysterious-- with new discoveries about dark matter and dark energy, and their relation to gravity just now beginning to emerge.
The last hour of the program featuredOpen Lines.
