SR 146: The Dark Energy Survey Surveys… The Dark

This week on Space Radio I try to shed some light on the Dark
Energy Survey and what, if anything, we have learned about the
Universe.


And of course I answer questions from the Space Cadets,
including:


What the purpose of the DES REALLY was;


Why space doesn't have air (thanks for the voice mail
Cordelia!);


How finite mass and density can result in black holes (thanks
Christopher S!);


Why Mars no longer has a magnetic field (thanks Don!);


… and much more!
