Here are the programs launching this month!

February 27th-March 5: Water Worlds

Scientists are studying two planets in another star system that appear to be covered by deep oceans, topped by steamy skies. Please join us for these odd, wet planets, plus an encounter between Venus and Jupiter, and more.

March 6th-12th, 2023: A Little of Everything

We have a lot to talk about this week: a comet that was a dud, volcanoes on Mars, the hazards of living on the Moon, holes in a stellar nursery, and more. Please join us for tales from around the solar system and beyond.

March 13th-19th, 2023: Rainy Skies

Magnetic storms on the Sun can produce big rains on the Sun, and we’ll have details. We’ll also talk about green peas, rejuvenated stars, and a confused galaxy.

March 20th-26th, 2023: Shining Bright

The Moon shines brightly in the evening sky late this week, even though most of it’s in darkness, and we’ll explain why. We’ll also talk about the bright planets Venus and Jupiter, and much more. 

March 27th-April 2: Rockets Galore!

New rockets and rocket launch sites are sprouting like Texas bluebonnets after a spring rain, and we’ll talk about a few of them. We’ll also talk about possible new space telescopes and much more.
