On tonight's show we bring you a mango-scented summer episode where we look into the most astounding news we could find this week, including an update on the astronauts now stranded on the ISS due to issues with the Boeing Starliner, and news that China has already analyzed the Moon rocks sent back from their Chang'e-5 mission and discovered a new crystal, dubbed Changesite. It seems the rivers and lakes of Titan are eroded by waves of liquid methane, and the newest development in sustainable energy is sodium-ion batteries made partly from lignin, a byproduct of wood pulp production. Also, it turns out melatonin is good for your retinas! All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
