Dr. Becky | An Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Hit Earth

In this month's Night Sky News episode we're chatting about the Amaterasu cosmic ray particle that hit the Earth with 813 billion times more energy than a typical cosmic ray particle!

Plus there's three new exoplanet research articles released this past month from the first planet forming system spotted outside the Milky Way in the Large Magellanic Cloud, to a "perfect" 6 planet system all in resonance with each other, and a new paper claiming we sadly don't have any evidence for exomoons.


And of course there's all the details on how you can spot the Quadrantids meteor shower in January, and the International Space Station in December.
