Magnetic Fields of Exoplanets - Dr. Jake Turner, Cornell Unv. - The Cosmic Companion Jan 12, 2021

<p>For our first interview of our fourth season, we talk to Dr. Jake Turner &nbsp;of Cornell University, discussing his work finding the first hints of a &nbsp;magnetic field surrounding a planet in an alien solar system. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>But first, we examine an unusual radio signal coming from our closest &nbsp;stellar neighbor that looks like it may have been created by an &nbsp;intelligent species – but who? Next, we take a look at something you &nbsp;might not expect – 2020 was, in fact, the shortest year in decades. We &nbsp;will also head out to the Red Planet, where we see the largest canyon in &nbsp;the Solar System in unprecedented detail. &nbsp;</p> <p>New episodes (nearly) every Tuesday! &nbsp;Subscribe today and never miss an episode.</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>
