You heard it on Spacepod first! New Nature Geoscience article confirms that asteroids can smell sweet: Bio-essential sugars in samples from asteroid Bennu www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What do asteroids smell like?? An incredible question from Sabine, age 5! Thrilled to share this one with everyone, especially my fellow asteroid scientists! (Spoiler alert - I was able to find an actual answer!) #planetsci #astronomy www.listentospacepod.com/episodes/202...

New episode! Do other planets really have diamond rain? Dr. Sabine Stanley answers. www.listentospacepod.com/episodes/202... #astronomy #planetsci

I gave a talk about small objects in the solar system to a 2nd grade class today. I got asked "how fast can an asteroid go?" I had already answered that question for @spacepod.bsky.social : www.listentospacepod.com/episodes/202... And it was also a good time to mention 3I/ATLAS.

Spacepod is back! It's been a rough time for American science. I took a break and did some thinking, and reinvented the show around something that brings people joy and reminds us why we do the work we do - questions from kids! The questions are from kids, but the answers are for everyone!

Astronomy outreach for today: I answered a question for @spacepod.bsky.social : www.listentospacepod.com/episodes/202...
