Area man interviewed, quoted

The European spacecraft Rosetta will pass by asteroid Steins today, giving us our first close-up views of this mountain-sized rock. But far and away the most important part about this is that I am interviewed (along with my old friend Joel Parker) in The Daily Camera, Boulder’s local paper. The headline should read “asteroid”, not “comet”, but that’s generally written by an editor, and is an understandable error. Sometimes, even experts can’t tell the difference.
