Supernova in a lab; Organic molecules in a molecular cloud; Particle interactions in a dark matter detector

Join us today while we take a look at a laboratory recreation of a supernova. We’ll also talk about the discovery of another amino acid precursor molecule in an interstellar cloud. Finally, we call attention to news that a dark matter detector has possibly seen some weird particle interactions and what that could mean.

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.
