Coffee Break: Space!
by Jill Riley and Nilufer Arsala

Monday is both National Meteor Watch Day and International Asteroid Day. Naturally, we couldn’t decide between the two, so space songs it is!
The topic is pretty timely. According to the American Meteor Society, the Perseids meteor shower will kick off in a few weeks and run through early September. Today, let’s create a playlist of songs that are out of this world!
So, for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs or bands with space references would you like to hear?
