Anjali Tripathi: Why Earth may someday look like Mars (2016x242)

Air date: Dec 20, 2016

Astrophysicist Anjali Tripathi studies the phenomenon of atmospheric escape, and in this fascinating and accessible talk, she considers how this process might one day (a few billion years from now) turn our blue planet red.
