Space

Most of Moon, like samples collected from Apollo missions, is composed from an enriched magma source (called KREEP) derived from material formed in the Earth-proto-Moon impact, however this sample shows a geochemical composition related to volcanic eruptions not associated with KREEP

How long did this volcanism last on the moon?

Why is this magma source isolated to the far side of the moon?

Exciting to see the first analysis of these unique samples and their implications in the history of the Moon!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some good in-depth space podcasts. I got into Startalk with Neil DeGrasse Tyson a few months ago and have listened to a ton of the episodes, but I've been trying to branch out and find more information heavy podcasts and ended up checking out the Cool Worlds podcast which is much more informative than Startalk IMO, while I still like that it definitely feels like they lean more into entertainment rather than informational content.

I'd like to find some more in-depth discussions about Astronomy and Astrophysics, I'm a huge space nerd so I prefer it to be more in-depth even if some of it will potentially go above my head. I've been reading Astronomy stack exchange questions for months now as my bedtime reading, and even though a ton of the answers go into complicated math/physics that I can't understand, I still love it, so I'd like to find the same thing in podcast format if possible.

Any recommendations for some good podcasts about space?

Bonus question, what are some good space audiobooks? Not sci-fi, I already have a big list of things I want to listen to/read but actual informative books based on Astronomy/Astrophysics. I've already gone through Welcome to the Universe by Michael Strauss but it's not the greatest as a strict audiobook since it frequently references diagrams in the accompanying PDF. I have a job that allows me to listen to whatever I want all day, but I can't be stopping what I'm doing to look at something, merely listen.

Thanks!

Edit: Already getting some great answers, thank you all for the suggestions! It's much appreciated.

Edit 2: You guys are awesome, thanks for all the recommendations!

If you mine something, you can't mine it again. It's gone from the ground.

If you harvest something, then wait a certain amount of time (a year, for example), you can harvest it again.

It was long thought that planets couldn’t stably orbit systems containing three stars. GW Orionis is the first counterexample.
