This week on Space Radio I try to shed some light on the Dark Energy Survey and what, if anything, we have learned about the Universe.
And of course I answer questions from the Space Cadets, including:
► What the purpose of the DES REALLY was;
► Why space doesn't have air (thanks for the voice mail Cordelia!);
► How finite mass and density can result in black holes (thanks Christopher S!);
► Why Mars no longer has a magnetic field (thanks Don!);
► … and much more!
