Description
Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP4 file: "Video @ Vanderbilt - Videos - VUCast: Vanderbilt’s ties to Goldilocks." By Vanderbilt University. Amy Wolf reports for VUCast News Network. Wolf reports on Vanderbilt's part in the discovery of a planet, being called "Goldilocks," which is about three times the size of earth and may be able to hold water. A team of "planet hunters" from Tennessee State, the University of California, Carnegie Mellon and NASA used a robotic telescope mounted at Vanderbilt's Dyer Observatory to make the find. Exploration, Vanderbilt's science website, is plugged. Wolf reports that Associate Professor of Political Science Josh Clinton will be a behind-the-scenes analyst for NBC News' coverage of the 2010 elections. Vanderbilt graduate and MSNBC anchor Willie Geist is shown wearing a Vanderbilt football T-shirt in an appearance on Joe Scarborough's Bipartisan Health Challenge. Pictures from the Vanderbilt Commodores Web site vucommodores.com, showing children dressed in Vanderbilt sports gear, are featured.
