Mass Extinction Events: Every Time Life Beat Death

Universe-ity by AJ Perron and Judson Martin

Episode notes

Despite life's age of 500 million years on planet Earth, brutal climate conditions have challenged its resiliency on several occasions. This week, AJ and Jud dive into every mass extinction, whether it was from volcanoes, asteroids, global cooling - or a hellish mix of just about everything. While it's been 66 million years since the last one, they'll explain why we might be nearing the next big event - and how we can avoid it.

Additional topics include: A time zone for the moon, the new world's-largest camera, and the worst pick for a "state planet".
