Advance showing: Dr. Jake Turner of Cornell University, on his work studying magnetic fields of exoplanets

Hello everyone!

For our first interview of our fourth season, we talk to Dr. Jake Turner of Cornell University, talking about his work finding the first hints of a magnetic field surrounding a planet in an alien solar system.

But first, we examine an unusual radio signal coming from our closest stellar neighbor that looks like it may have been created by an intelligent species – but who? Next, we take a look at something you might not expect – 2020 was, in fact, the shortest year in decades. We will also head out to the Red Planet, where we see the largest canyon in the Solar System in unprecedented detail.

Here’s tomorrow’s episode of the show, in an advance showing for our VIP subscribers:
