Short gamma-ray burst’s afterglow detected; young star found with spiral disk; red giants with starspots rotate quickly; machine learning helps predict survivability of planetary systems - a podcast by Dr. Pamela Gay & Annie Wilson

First, we look at how researchers detected the afterglow of a short gamma ray burst a mere 3.8 billion years after the Big Bang. Then we examine the discoveries of a spiral structure in the disk of a young, heavy star and how red giant stars with large starspots spin faster than those without. And finally, we see how machine learning can be used to predict what planetary systems are most likely to survive.
