Show Notes

The science between the science! Kovi put on his special science goggles as he and Benjamin discussed the Interstellar Medium (ISM). The space between the stars is massive - but not empty! Going back to the 1860's we began to learn there's something out there, in 1904 we confirmed it, and since 1909 we learned that there's gas, dust, cosmic rays, shock-heating from supernovae, nebluae and more. Where does a nebula end and interstellar space begin? What IS a nebula? Join the nerd and the scientist is they wrap up their third season (their 30th episode!) with some learnin' and laughin'!
