Ask an Astronomer! @ Cornell University   /     #018: Common misconceptions in Astronomy

Summary

This month we will be clearing up some commonly held misconceptions, starting with the Earth and Moon, then moving out through the solar system, and eventually discussing the Universe as a whole, and some misunderstandings people might have regarding its expansion. To resolve these issues I interview an array of Cornell graduate students: Joyce Byun, Rebecca Harbison, Jason Hofgartner, Michael Lam, Dustin Madison, Sean Marshall, and Eva-Maria Mueller.
