Titan moving away from Saturn; Infrared photos of Phobos; Hints of new volcanism in Europe

Join us today as we analyze news that Titan is moving away from Saturn more quickly than previously thought. Also, we look at recent photos of Mars’ moon Phobos taken by NASA’s Mars Odyssey. Finally, we note that there is possibly new volcanic activity underneath Germany. After those stories, we interview Dr. Jamie Molaro from PSI about her recent paper on asteroid Bennu.

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.
