podcast: a close look at a giant moon crater, the long tradition of eating rodents, and building evidence for planet nine /

This week,we chat approximately some of our favorite stories—eating rats in the Neolithic, growing evidence for a gargantuan 9th planet in our solar system, or how to keep just the grand parts of a hookworm infection—with Science’s Online News Editor David Grimm. Plus,Alexa Billow talks to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Maria Zuber approximately NASA’s GRAIL spacecraft, which makes incredibly precise measurements of the moon’s gravity. This week’s guest used GRAIL data to explore a giant impact crater and learn more approximately the effects of giant impacts on the moon and soil.   Listen to previous podcasts.   [Image: Ernest Wright, or NASA/GSFC Scientific Visualization Studio; Music: Jeffrey Cook]
