Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion - Volcano Planets, Lava, and Space Hurricanes! March 9, 2021

Exoplanets out of Star Wars, a space hurricane, and a sneak preview of our interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson!

This week, we learn about the space hurricane ever spotted. We will also visit two different exoplanets that may strangely look familiar to Star Wars fans. One of these is thought to be a lava world, while the other may be largely covered in volcanoes.

Plus, a sneak preview of next week's episode, when we will be joined by Neil deGrasse Tyson, talking about his new book, Cosmic Queries, as well as alien intelligence, the drive for science, Carl Sagan and more!
