Planetary Defense
from The Information Entropy Podcast · host Dr. Tom Jenks and Mitchell Gatting
This week on we’re looking at how Earth protects itself from dangers that come hurtling out of space. Mitch takes us through NASA’s DART mission and what it means for defending the planet against near-Earth objects — those asteroids and comets that occasionally pass a little too close for comfort. Meanwhile, Tom explores solar storms: massive eruptions from our Sun that could knock out satellites, fry power grids, and disrupt life as we know it. Music: HOME – AWAY
