Scary Things That Can Happen To Planets

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

We take a deep dive into the origin of Mars's moons and whether they are chips off the old block.

And astronomers may have caught a star in the act of gobbling up a planet in the first stages of the star's death throes. Catch up on these scary things that can happen to a planet, space news, and Top quark trivia.
