Ceres is the queen of the asteroid belt. Her first Earthly visitor is nearing its last days in spectacular style.

Planetary Society Chief Scientist Bruce Betts has a summer guide to the night sky, looks back in space exploration history and delivers another Random Space Fact. He and Mat Kaplan also have a new space trivia question for listeners.
