Welcome to Science Rocks!
Today we discuss
1) Fast radio bursts from 500 million light years away have been detected by CHIME/FRB, which repeat every 16 days.
2) Antarctica recently hit a record high temperature of 18.3 degrees Celsius, and then three days later broke that record when it hit 20 degrees Celsius.
3) Endangered bumble bees are facing extinction as the climate crisis worsens.
Once per week, we take a look at the latest and most prominent news in science and space exploration.
Stay tuned for bonus episodes discussing important rocket launches, technology advancements and announcements, and more.
