This week, we welcome Dr. Ezat Heydari to the show. He is a professor of geoscience at Jackson State University. We will discuss his work showing evidence of a possible megaflood on Mars in the ancient solar system.

But, first, we examine fusion processes at the core of our Sun, using a detector buried deep underground. We also take a look at a sunspot that became visible from Earth on Thanksgiving, and learn how astronomers saw it when it was still on the other side of the Sun. Finally, we will take our first - but by no means last - look at a great conjunction of planets coming soon to a sky near you.
