2022 November 13 - Flying Saucer Crash Lands in Utah Desert
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 13/11/2022

In today's image, we see, not a UFO, but the crash of the Genesis capsule in the Utah Desert. This craft was returning from collecting particles from the solar wind for analysis on Earth when the parachute failed to open causing it to crash into the ground. Fortunately, much of the sample survive the crash and was able to be studied.
