Episode 295: Exploring the planet Saturn

Saturn holds special interest for the new director of the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. Mark Marley took over leadership at the research lab earlier this year. He's spent decades studying the ringed planet and its moons, some of which contain water ice.

Mark Marley spoke with Tim Swindle, director of the University of Arizona Space Institute.
