Solar clock; Hubble constant; Universality of Free Fall; Neutron lifetime measurement; Interstellar parallax; Backyard astronomy exoplanet

Join us today as we look at six different astronomy stories. We start with a new clock of solar activity, then talk about three articles on updates to fundamental theories. We follow up with interstellar parallax observations and an exoplanet discovered through backyard astronomy.

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.
