Will Gater, astronomy journalist and astrophotographer, debuted on Slooh during our coverage of the incredible comet landing success story of Philae and Rosetta. If you are looking for more of Will, you are in luck, because he will be making an appearance on air for many future shows. Stay tuned!

Dr. Nick Schneider, the MAVEN Remote Sensing Team Lead, will come on Slooh's broadcast of Siding Spring's close approach to Mars to talk about our big, red, planetary neighbor.

Our Total Lunar Eclipse show on Wednesday, October 8th, 2014 was chock full of special guests! This included Deborah Byrd from earthsky.org, who talked with us about the unique visuals this eclipse had in store for us based on the Moon's particular position in the night sky that time around. ttt

Lieutenant Colonel Lindley Johnson joined Geoff Fox and Bob Berman on Slooh to discuss the closest approach of Asteroid 2002 CU11. As Near Earth Object Programs Executive at NASA, our special guest had some spectacular insights and stories to share.

Alan Cummings, Voyager specialist, joined Slooh astronomer Bob Berman on Slooh's Voyager 1 interstellar anniversary special for a grand discussion of the Voyager 1 spacecraft's fantastic achievements and nail-biting adventures throughout history.

Darlene Cavalier's debut appearance with Slooh was on our Mega-Moon show. She is the founder of Science Cheerleaders, and had a great discussion with Bob Berman about science outreach and that great big Moon in our night sky.

Slooh celebrated the 45th anniversary of the first manned Moon landing. We watched the moon rise in Dubai via our live stream as special guests science journalist Andy Chaikin and documentarian Duncan Copp shared their stories.

Slooh tracked massive and newly discovered potentially hazardous asteroid 2014 HQ124 zipping by Earth on June 5th. Neil Cavuto from Fox Business did a segment on The Beast (named by Slooh) to highlight the risks of near-Earth Asteroids.

"This is so cool! I don't believe I have seen any satellites in HM (High Magnification view) that were put there on purpose. I know talk has gone on here, in the past, about how to go about tracking them and how accurate you need to be to catch it in the HM....pretty awesome if you ask me!"

With solar activity heating up, the Northern Lights have recently become spectacular to see from places beneath the "auroral oval" centered on the north magnetic pole. During this unique viewing window, Slooh astronomer Bob Berman and key telescope partner Matt Francis traveled to central Alaska to capture the majesty of this incredible event.

Hast thou seen the white asteroid, the length of 10 whaling vessels, not spied in some 14 years, whose orbit has now been lost, goes by the name Moby Dick? Find it for us, for all of humanity, and it'll be a dram of rum for you and your brethren, and a suitable frame of your accomplishment on this page for a year.

A bitter storm hit the Canary Islands on Monday, February 17. The storm covered Mt. Teide, the site of Slooh's flagship observatory, in snow and ice leaving the domes frozen shut. After the storm passed, Paul Cox, Slooh's Observatory Director, spent hours digging the domes out of the snow to prepare the telescopes for clear nights of stargazing.
