EVSN - Free-flowing Water On Ancient Mar...

365DAYSOFASTRONOMY.ORG
About this episode

From August 4, 2020.

Join us today as we talk about newly released research that suggests the waters on ancient Mars were subglacial and not free-flowing. Also, a black hole goes dormant and star formation goes wild. Meanwhile, computer models show that unequal neutron stars colliding may cause a big “bang” that can be detected on Earth.
