Here is the lineup for the last Sunday in November on your public radio station!
Catch StarDate at 8:20am as we learn more about Venus and Jupiter. One of nature’s most unforgettable light shows is the aurora — ribbons and curtains of color in the night sky. But the auroras on Jupiter, the Sun’s largest planet, are a thousand times more powerful — and much more complicated.
The “Praise of Thanksgiving,” featuring the Tabernacle Choir Orchestra at Temple Square and Bells on Temple Square, begin at 9:20am as part of our weekly Music and the Spoken Word program.
In 2014, a landslide began above the Stillaguamish River in Washington. In less than 5 minutes, it had buried a rural neighborhood. Forty-three people died, while eight more were carried along and lived to tell the tale. The slide dammed the river, which created a lake 2-and-a-half miles long.
Learn more about landslides in today’s episode of EarthDate, which begins at 10:15am.
At 11:15am, we bring you another episode of Science and the Sea. Did you know the mighty Mississippi River dumps a hundred cubic miles of water into the Gulf of Mexico each year? The Amazon River dumps about 10 times that amount into the Atlantic. And thousands of other rivers and streams around the world contribute even more to the world’s oceans.
The twelve o’clock hour kicks off six hours of Big Band programming. At 1:30pm, Isabel Hubbard lets us know about all of the special holiday events happening this week at the Fort Hood USO. Meanwhile our Roving Reporter, Sonja Asendorf, tells us what Thanksgiving was like in the 1940’s.
All that and Swingin’ Down the Lane with David Miller at 6pm. We hope you enjoy your Sunday and, no matter where you are or how you tune in, thank you for making us part of your day.
