DDO Astronomy Night: Methane on Mars: Fact, Folly, or Figment? with Dr. John Moores (ONLINE)
From the first announcement of its discovery in the atmosphere of Mars in 2003, methane has “punched above its weight” in our scientific imagination of the red planet. Because methane is quickly destroyed by the current chemistry active on Mars, it has to be supplied in the present day by some as yet unknown process. On the Earth, it is living systems that produce the abundant methane that we see in our atmosphere.

DDO Astronomy Night: Einstein's Great Prediction: The Discovery of Gravitational Waves with Dr. Rupinder Brar (ONLINE)
Just over one hundred years ago Albert Einstein revealed the Theory of General Relativity and one of its predictions, the existence of gravitational waves. It took astronomers 100 years to first observe these mysterious waves, confirming Einstein’s theory. Now that they have, it has opened up an entirely new way to see the Universe, including objects that had not been seen before, like black holes.
