For this episode of the Radio Astronomy Podcast we spoke to planetary scientist and spacerocks expert Dr Sarah Crowther about the science of asteroids.<\/p>\n

What can asteroids tell us about the early Solar System?<\/p>\n

Why do we send spacecraft to return asteroid samples to Earth?<\/p>\n

What do scientists like her do when they get their hands on a sample from the asteroid belt?<\/p>\n

This podcast was recorded at the Bluedot Festival<\/a> 2022, Jodrell Bank Observatory, UK. Find out more about Sarah\u2019s work by following @SarahACrowther<\/a> on Twitter.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
