This week, we welcome Wen-fai Fong of Northwestern University to the show, talking about her work studying kilonova explosions and collisions of neutron stars.
But first, we will look at new findings showing the Universe is getting hotter, and we will examine the mysterious Blue Ring Nebula. Next, we will journey back in time to the ancient solar system, when a massive megaflood ravished the surface of Mars. Finally, we will bid a sad farewell to one of the greatest telescopes in the world, as the Arecibo radio Telescope is slated for demolition.
