Scientists have been pouring over the data from the Cassini mission and have drawn some new conclusions about Saturn's rings. Details about the tiny moons in the rings are showing that they actually help shape the rings themselves, and the rings have definitive textures that do not overlap, leading to even more questions about they form. These new insights and more on this episode help to frame questions about how our own solar system was formed as well, as more data is analyzed from Cassini.
Also, NASA is getting ready for the next Falcon Heavy launch, which will be bringing a lot more scientific experiments into space. One of these is the new Green Fuel developed by NASA to hopefully replace the toxic rocket fuel used today.
