Billions of years ago, did our Sun actually swallow an entire planet larger than Earth? Professor Melis Yildiz from Ege University in Turkey says yes — and advanced computer simulations of the Sun's chemical composition back it up. The evidence is hidden in the Sun's own chemistry.\nThen we head to Mercury — the smallest and most mysterious planet in our solar system. Not only is it shrinking faster than scientists expected, but new research suggests it too may have consumed a planet in its ancient past. The BepiColombo mission is en route to uncover more of Mercury's secrets.\nIn local news, the UAE Space Agency, led by Dr. Ahmed Al Falasi, announced a landmark $1 billion project to build 50 AI-powered satellites — a massive leap forward for the UAE's growing space industry. We also preview a magical Saturn stargazing experience coming to Sharjah National Park!\nTune in, look up, and keep exploring with Kalam Astro! 🌌\n==\nListen to #Pulse95Radio in the UAE by tuning in on your radio (95.00 FM) or online on our website: www.pulse95radio.com\n************************\nFollow us on Social.\nwww.facebook.com/pulse95radio\nwww.twitter.com/pulse95radio","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/m-nOVVI7bpo0QVZ9Q8OHfrGYXAymDg744gYuUsfaBfk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzUwMjUyLzE3MDky/MDE3OTgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
