Science journalist and Radiolab host Latif Nasser found himself at
the center of a space mystery. A space poster in his child’s room
showed Zoozve, a moon circling Venus. Only Nasser had never heard
of Zoozve—and neither had anyone else. Nasser brings us the story
of Zoozve the quasi-moon and brings listeners the opportunity to
name a quasi-moon of their own. Recommended listening Zoozve
