The Europa Clipper - David W. Brown, author, The Mission. Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion Feb 16, 2021

This week, we welcome science writer David W. Brown to the show. He is a contributor for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Scientific American. We will discuss his new book, The Mission, telling the story of NASA's upcoming project, the Europa Clipper.

But first, we kick off the fortnight of Mars, as the first two of three new spacecraft arrive at our planetary neighbor, readying to explore the Red Planet. We will also head out to the outer reaches of our planetary family, where we meet Farfarout – the most-distant object known in our solar system.
