A Look in on Hubble, Stellar Murder Mysteries, and More - The Cosmic Companion July 6, 2021
Checking in on Hubble, solving stellar murder mysteries, and more!
A look at repairs on the ailing Hubble Space Telescope, a pair of stellar murder mysteries, and a white dwarf the size of the Moon!
This week on Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion, we learn how gravitational waves show evidence for a pair of ancient stellar murder mysteries, we meet a white dwarf the size of our Moon, and we pay a visit to our ailing friend, the Hubble Space Telescope.
This week's scheduled interview with Earl Swift, author of Across the Airless Wilds, has been postponed until July 20, due to technical problems. Make sure to join us then for an inside look at NASA's lunar buggy!
