Elisabeth Newton and the TOI 451 Planetary System of Exoplanets - The Cosmic Companion March 2, 2021

<p>This week, we are joined by Dr. Elisabeth Newton, astronomer at Dartmouth College, who recently discovered three new worlds around the dwarf star TOI 451. &nbsp;</p> <p>But first, we're going to take a look at a new study showing that water worlds like Earth may be common around the galaxy. Next, we take a look at a new image of Venus, taken by the Parker Solar Probe, that could have implications for planetary science. Finally, we learn about a new study showing microbes under the seafloor of Earth could live off products formed by natural radiation, a finding that could assist in our understanding of the development of life on other worlds.<br> <br> Listen to the podcast version of this episode here, or watch the video version at: <a href="https://youtu.be/qZSbOq3xuJE">https://youtu.be/qZSbOq3xuJE</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/support</a>
