Have a great weekend, short wavers.

See you Monday.

Dean Regas here, astronomer and host of Looking Up.

I journey to the far reaches of the universe, hearing from scientists, astronauts, and geeky celebs along the way.

We cover everything from black holes to the latest in science fiction.

Listen now to the Looking Up podcast from the NPR Network and Cincinnati Public Radio.

You're listening to Shortwave from NPR.

Hey, short wavers.

Emily Kwong here.

Now, depending on where you live in the U.S., you may be enjoying some fall foliage.

You know, the result of colder days, trees preparing for winter, and in some, their chlorophyll, the green pigment, is breaking down.

And instead of green, we're seeing these amazing colors, yellow, orange, and red.

Colors you might tuck into a home decoration.

Along with some of those mutant squash you get at the farmer's market, the really warty ones.

Hey, Nell.

Hey.

That's NPR's Nell Greenfield-Boyce.
