Are there aliens...you know, out there? What are the chances of life appearing somewhere, anywhere, in the universe? Will we get to say "hi" and have a chat? Is there any life in our own solar system (uh, besides on earth)? I discuss these questions and more in today's Ask a Spaceman!

How will the sun die? Should we start worrying now, or can we put it off for a bit? Is there any hope for humans when the sun starts cooking? Just how spectacular will it be when our sun finally croaks? I discuss these questions and more in today's Ask a Spaceman!

What's it like to fall into a black hole? Would it be fun or horrible? Or both? But there are different kinds of black holes...would it be different to fall into them? What do folks in the outside universe see? I discuss these questions and more in today's Ask a Spaceman!

Is Pluto a planet? Why do we care? Why did we ever call it a planet in the first place? How has our definition of "planet" changed over the millennia, and how might it change in the future? I discuss these questions and more in today's Ask a Spaceman!
