Fast Blue Optical Transients; Proxima b is real; Asteroids and comets in the news

Join us today as we take a look at a possible new classification of high energy outbursts. Next, we examine the latest evidence that an exoplanet at our nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, really exists. And finally, we go over a bunch of recent stories on asteroids and comets, including our own dinosaur-killer, Bennu, Ryugu, and Comet ATLAS.
