Jupiter’s ocean moon, stranded astronauts and a special asteroid

The Decibel

Ivan Semeniuk is The Globe’s science reporter and today on the show he takes us on a tour of our solar system – and beyond! We start with the news of the Europa Clipper and its search for the conditions of life on a watery moon around Jupiter. Then we talk about Earth’s new mini moon, before catching up with those stranded astronauts on the International Space Station.

We end by talking about what the James Webb Space Telescope has taught us about the origins of the universe, before zooming back in on a very special space rock with a familiar name.
