Episode LI: Tides: Tidal Forces through the Millenia: A Discussion

July 23, 2018

In this episode, Mike and Chris discuss the tidal forces and give several examples of where these show up through the solar system.  Learn about why Earth has tides, why there is the Dark Side of the Moon, why a moon around Jupiter still erupts, why Pluto and its moon Charon always face each other, and a fun way that a black hole can kill you that you haven't thought about.  All of this, and more, is in this episode! Enjoy.
