Opportunity Reaches Endeavour, and Planetary Radio Wins an Award!

After years of rolling across the surface of Mars, little Opportunity has reached the rim of huge Endeavour Crater, where it has already found a unique rock that has given Steve Squyres and other mission leaders new passion. Emily Lakdawalla visits a New Horizons science meeting about Pluto. A planet made of diamond is just two brilliant for Bill Nye to ignore. Bruce Betts and Mat Kaplan celebrate the award of a Parsec award to Planetary Radio. They'll also award a t-shirt in another new space trivia contest.
