Twenty-two hundred new worlds, and a song inspired by them this week on Planetary Radio.

Welcome.

I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across our solar

system and beyond.

Someone has to keep track of the thousands of exoplanets discovered by Tess, the transiting

exoplanet survey satellite.

That person is Natalia Guerrero.

Natalia's lead author of the brand new paper announcing those new worlds.

She'll talk to us about this great science and also about how it inspires much of her

dramatic musical and radio artistry.

We're also going to check in with Nancy Atkinson in moments.

Nancy is tracking the tale of that vanousian phosphine, new yet very old data backs its existence.

I also have an especially good time with Bruce Betts this week, so I hope you'll stay

for what's up.

As always, we're grateful to all of you who listen, grateful to those who write to us,

and extraordinarily grateful to everyone who leaves us a rating or review in Apple podcasts.

I hope you'll consider helping us out this way, if you haven't.

I don't know if it's a moon rise or a moon set, either way, it's like none I've ever seen.

It's that Martian moon fobos peeking through the clouds above Mount Sharp in a photo snapped

by the curiosity rover.

You'll find it at planetary.org slash downlink where it is followed by these headlines and

much more.
