Is There Another Belt of Comets?

from Walkabout the Galaxy · host Josh Colwell, Addie Dove, Audrey Martin, Jim Cooney

New observations contradict earlier studies about the possibility of another belt of comets orbiting the Sun twice as far away as Pluto. We'll take a look at what's what in the outer solar system and also explore whether black holes may help explain the Hubble tension. We also play FLOD (Flyby, Land, Orbit, Destroy) and have some "how many planets" trivia.
