About this listen
In this episode...spiders! Whether you love them or are creeped out by them, you can't deny they're fascinating creatures. But did you know they're smart, too? Nick introduces us to a species of sheet-web spider that has developed a very interesting trick to lure prey, one that indicates a more sophisticated level of intelligence than we thought. Then, Dave takes us on a journey to the center of the galaxy to explore a bizarre realm of ionized gas and dark matter. At the middle of it all sits Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole 4,000,000 times more massive than the Sun.
