EVSN - Searching for Dark Energy in Blac...

About this episode

From December 11, 2024.

From baby planets to ancient black holes, let's look at the week's space news, including the discovery of a planet around a still-forming star, our Sun's massive outbursts as measured by tree rings, a new catalog of white dwarfs in binary systems, and a deep dive into the possibility that black holes create dark energy. As always, we'll also bring you tales from the launch pad.
