Join us today while we take a look at Fermi bubbles and their relationship to the Magellanic Stream. We examine new research on the origin galaxies of some Fast Radio Bursts. And we learn about how Mars’ moon Deimos provided evidence that Mars once had a ring.

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.

Join us today as we talk about radio transmitters found in the twinkling heart of the Milky Way. Then we’ll look at an asteroid that has a comet-like tail. And finally, Bennu is about to be sampled by OSIRIS-Rex, and we helped make that happen!

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.
