“kazuo ishiguro who's pretty much all of his books are like slow reveals over the course of the book”— Katherine de Kleer
The guest here is Katherine de Kleer: Professor of planetary science and astronomy at Caltech who studies the surfaces, atmospheres, and thermochemical histories of planets and moons. She uses telescopes to observe volcanoes on Io, atmospheres on Titan, and other solar system objects. A Caltech planetary scientist explains why moons may be more exciting than planets, and where life might hide in our solar system.
