When we produced last week's tribute to the Mars Global Surveyor we had no idea its two biggest discoveries were about to be announced! You'll hear about them from Ken Edgett and Mike Malin of Malin Space Science Systems. Arizona State University geologist Phil Christensen returns to provide his take on the news from the Red Planet. Emily Lakdawalla makes her own addition to the MGS legacy, while Bruce Betts and Mat Kaplan look at the night sky, worry about Martian flash floods, and announce a new space trivia contest.

Guests

• Phil Christensen, TES and THEMIS Principal Investigator
• Ken Edgett, Malin Space Science Systems
