There are so many fun explosions in space, but which one is the fastest? Ann Isaacs knows all about them! Join us as she describes her research on transients and high energy waves, talk about the James Webb Space Telescope's horrible name, and help Nova/Neutrino make sure Eris doesn't lose all of Bad Astra's money.
