Join us today as we talk about gravitational lensing, new candidates for lenses, and how the search for Dark Energy could progress. We also look at a mud monster that is actually a lab experiment showing how mud could flow like lava on Mars. Next, we enjoy that the TRAPPIST-1 planets are orbiting as expected. And finally, we give a quick shoutout to researchers everywhere using their equipment to help in the fight against COVID-19.
