Now that the next episode of Star Wars has been released, I thought you might enjoy this look at the science behind the weather of the original Star Wars series, courtesy of Dr. Marshall Shepherd, UGA in Forbes.com.  No spoilers, I promise!

In the blog post, Dr. Shepherd points out that there is a website called Star Wars Weather by Tom Scott.  If you input your location, it will tell you what Star Wars location your current weather is most like.  This morning’s weather for Atlanta?  It’s like Hoth.
