This week on Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion, we will be joined by Dr. Sabina Stanley of Johns Hopkins University. We'll talk about her work using computer modeling to study the atmosphere of Saturn.

But first, we go about as far back in time as we can get, examining conditions in the first millionth of a second after the Big Bang. Next, we learn how oxygen affected ancient forms of life on Earth long ago. Then, we examine a new source of X-rays discovered near the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, and hear how long-period comets can still produce meteor showers in our modern day.
