  • Io and Juno Begin to Part Ways

    Io and Juno Begin to Part Ways
    May 8 2024

    In February, on the closest approach, NASA's Juno spacecraft was within 930 miles of the closest moon Io’s surface.

    Following the Water Toward Climate Change
    Apr 10 2024

    This week’s episode is brought to you by last week’s terrible weather. While experiencing hail and thunder IRL, we also saw press release after press release and article after article discussing climate change. This one-two punch of new science and the need for a new roof means we will touch on climate change in our closer look this week. We apologize in advance; it’s not pretty out there -- unless you like storm chasing, then it’s kind of the stuff of dreams at the moment.
