Lagrange PointEpisode 554 - Collaborating to solve Martian MysteriesWhat caused those large quakes on Mars? How can Mars have big Mars-quakes without plate tectonics? If an impact crater isn't too blame for the Mars quakes what may be the cause. An international collaboration pooled the instruments of many countries Mars Missions to solve a mystery. Even using many different countries space ships, no 'smoking crater' was found that caused a mysterious martian quake. How can we study the ancient martian rivers and oceans using data from old martian missions?

Planetary Radio: Space Exploration, Astronomy and ScienceSubsurface oceans: The hidden potential of Earth-like exoplanetsLujendra Ojha, assistant professor at Rutgers University, joins Planetary Radio to discuss how subsurface liquid water on exoplanets orbiting red dwarf stars could increase the likelihood of finding habitable worlds beyond our Solar System. Then we check in with Bruce Betts, chief scientist of The Planetary Society, for What's Up.

Europa has the most potential to harbor life outside of Earth, but it's ice sheets may be more Earth like than we imagined. Europa's spectacular double ridges are similar to those found in Greenland. The ice sheets on Europa may not be static and still, but churning. Melting and refreezing could drive exchange between the surface of Europa and it's icey depths. How do you form sand dunes without any wind? Is it possible to form a Dune on Io using just volcanic flows and sulfur snows?

Lagrange PointEpisode 285 - Icey lakes on Mars, a planets worth of dust and unexplained oxygenWe are often tantalized by the prospect of water on Mars, but thanks to a Teenage Satellite we have found lakes of water on Mars, just beneath the surface. Plus we find out where all that martian dust comes from and check in on everyone's favourite Comet, 67-p.

Podcast de Cooperativa Gen LtdaDante Paz, director en Astronomía del ConicetDurante una conferencia de prensa realizada ayer por la NASA, el equipo liderado por Lujendra Ojha, del Instituto de Tecnología de Georgia, presentó lo que se consideran las evidencias más sólidas obtenidas hasta ahora para probarlo.
Pero ¿Qué implicancias tiene este descubrimiento para la ciencia? ¿Es una certeza de que hay vida en el planeta rojo? ¿Hay debates dentro de la misma NASA?
