The Hydroplate Theory: The Origin of Asteroids (Part 2)

Kevin Lea examines trans-Neptunian objects, NASA’s DART mission, and evidence that many asteroids are low-density “rubble piles.” He then turns to one of the episode’s central questions: Why are scientists finding amino acids, nucleotide precursors, carbon compounds, and evidence of saltwater associated with asteroids and meteorites?
