The Cosmic Companion VIP Newsletter March 9, 2020

Colliding white dwarfs, a new idea of dark matter, organic material on Mars may have been the product of life, and a look at the effects of dust around Betelgeuse.

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to The Cosmic Companion VIP newsletter!

In tomorrow’s episode of Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion, we look at a massive white dwarf that may be the product of an ancient collision between stars. We also examine a new idea of dark matter – the mysterious mass holding galaxies together – before heading to Mars for a new discovery – as well as a stunning image of the Martian landscape – from the Curiosity rover. Finally, we wrap up the show with a look at Betelgeuse, and new studies looking at whether or not this red giant star is on the verge of exploding as a supernova.

Let’s take off!
