It's Friday, January 5th, which means today is Science Friday. I'm Cyphry producer D. Petersburg. Last year scientists discovered a potentially massive underground store of hydrogen gas in Lorraine France.

Why is this important?

distributed at scale? But first Ira Plato talks with Fox Staff writer Umer Irfan about the biggest

sign stories this week. Put on your sunglasses because 2024 is the sun's time

to shine.

Vox staff writer Umayr Erifon is here to talk sun science

and other big stories of the week.

Welcome back, Umayr.

Hi, Ira, thanks for having me.

Nice to have you.

So 2024 is going to be a big year for the sun,

and we're going to have a solar eclipse.
