From December 2025.

Today's 2 topics:

- Dr. Lance Benner of NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory headed up a team of scientists who used the 70 meter
antenna at NASA's Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex to
bounce RADAR beams off of the asteroid Florence as it made a
close approach to Earth in September of 2017. The RADAR images
these researchers obtained reveal that Florence consists of a 2.8
mile diameter primary asteroid which is orbited by two small
moons.

- Venus and Earth are similar in size, composition, density, and
mass. Unfortunately, our sister planet Venus is an example of a
place where green house gases have created an extreme situation.
Venus's thick carbon dioxide atmosphere has a surface pressure 90
times that of Earth. It would crush a submarine. Additionally,
the thick atmospheric blanket holds in the heat causing Venus's
surface temperature to be 864 F, hot enough to melt lead.
