hi all,

A very interesting 9-week module is coming up on Coursera about The Science of the Solar System.

Details at https://www.coursera.org/course/solarsystem and the course starts on March 31st.

Lectures are given by Mike Brown (he of "How I Killed Pluto" fame).

Mike's a terrific speaker and a podcast by him on the story of Pluto's demotion can be found at http://www.astrosociety.org/education/podcast/index.html ... for some reason this link is not working for me at the moment but try searching "Silicon Valley Astronomy Podcasts" for another link (e.g., iTunes).

Coursera modules are free (apart from "Specializations") and well worth taking part in.

Enjoy!

John
