Science in Pairs & Moon Plans Redux

About this episode

The episode discusses NASA updates and various scientific phenomena involving pairs in astronomy.

Once again, we're going to attempt to get you up to date with what is going down at NASA. In addition to NASA updates, we have stories of science that comes in twos. From 2 planets forming in a disk to 2 stars coming together to shine brightly, to two asteroids that together orbit the Sun a bit faster, to two planets that collided, … it is a week for pairs.
