S6 EP2: Chris Lintott
Summary
Hosts Max Rushden and David O'Doherty interview Chris Lintott, presenter of Sky at Night, about his day attending a planetary science conference in The Hague. Lintott recounts his chaotic morning, including staying in a bizarre, staff-less hotel and hunting for coffee before a Zoom call to help a colleague prepare for an academic job interview. The conversation shifts to his work on interstellar objects, specifically the discovery of 'Atlas,' and includes humorous anecdotes about the conference atmosphere, the JUICE spacecraft, and the ongoing debate over Pluto's status as a planet.
