Let's dive straight into the big science news story of the day. Molecules that are exclusively associated with life here on Earth have been discovered on exoplanet K2-18b, 124 light years away.
What I love about this is that the researchers say that more evidence is needed to confirm because they are only 99.7% confident about the result. Ideally, they'd like to be 99.99996% sure.
That's science for you folks!

Is this entire intro sequence, including the hosts, computer generated?

Are we using the hashtag #ET for the #Greece NF, Ethnikós Telikós, tonight?

Our speculation on where missing socks go leads to a natural conclusion: Aliens. You'd think that would be fertile ground, but instead our Missing Sock story is about a pair of pro soccer players who get magically zapped into a young soccer player's socks, and together they must figure out how to get the players back into their bodies.
