Sun Worship October 25, 2007
On Today’s show, we discussed the sun and what it can do beyond making light, growing plants and burning skin. Julie Napolin reports on why your sun sign is so important, astrologically speaking. Becca MacClaren talks with UC Berkeley’s solar-powered car racing team. Jon Doss meets some people who don’t have time to tan under the sun. Erika Pallasigue discusses how some in Asian cultures, white skin is a status symbol. And Eric Zassenhaus talks with UC Berkeley’s resident expert on the star about how the sun’s impending burn out equals the end of the world.
For the individual reports and additional information, continue below.
Today’s program was produced by Kevin Jones, who also wrote the music. The associate producer was Sindya Bhanoo. The anchors were Ben Hubbard and Winnie Andrews. Our studio engineer is April Dembosky and our faculty adviser is Ben Manilla.
