NASA's New Radar Just Pulled Off Something Impossible on Earth

Episode 3

Europa Clipper used a Mars flyby to prove its REASON ice-penetrating radar works in space—bringing in 60 GB of echoes and de-risking the instrument before Europa science in the 2030 timeframe.

Experimental confirmation of barrierless reactions between HeH+ and deuterium atoms suggests a lower abundance of the first molecules at very high redshifts

Episode 3

New experimental and theoretical results show the primordial reaction HeH⁺ + D → HD⁺ + He is barrierless and fast at low temperatures, implying less HeH⁺ (and different early-universe chemistry) than earlier models predicted.
