Megafloods on Mars - Dr. Ezat Heydari - Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion Dec. 1, 2020

<p>This week, we welcome Dr. Ezat Heydari to the show. He is a professor of &nbsp;geoscience at Jackson State University. We will discuss his work &nbsp;showing evidence of a possible megaflood on Mars in the ancient solar &nbsp;system. &nbsp;</p> <p>But, first, we examine fusion processes at the core of our Sun, using a &nbsp;detector buried deep underground. We also take a look at a sunspot that &nbsp;became visible from Earth on Thanksgiving, and learn how astronomers saw &nbsp;it when it was still on the other side of the Sun. Finally, we will &nbsp;take our first - but by no means last - look at a great conjunction of &nbsp;planets coming soon to a sky near you.</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>
