Science Friday: Running T. Rex / Jupiter
This forty-seven minute radio broadcast discusses data about Jupiter and its magnetic environment, which was collected by the two fly-by Galileo and Cassini missions as well as the Hubble and Chandra observatories. There is also a discussion with a specialist in neuromuscular biomechanics about whether T. rex had enough muscle mass to be able to run as rapidly as 45 miles per hour, or whether a more reasonable speed for T. rex would have been only 10 miles per hour.
