Hello everyone!

This week on Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion, we welcome Dr. Stephanie Ryan to the show. She is the author of Let's Learn About Chemistry, and we will be talking about teaching science to children.

But first, we look at a new study suggesting clay, not water, may be hidden under the icy South Pole of Mars. We also examine the radio galaxy Centaurus A in a new light, and look up at Saturn during a close(ish) approach to Earth.

And… a brand-new sneak preview of this week’s installment of The Cosmix Page!
