Episode notes

In 1984, a bunch of Darby Dyer's grad school friends went to a conference. They were totally seduced by these rocks from another world.

I just never thought I would be in this situation. And here I am.

In all our searching of the universe, we’ve never seen another moon like ours. It's big, it's weird, and it has played a huge role in shaping our planet. But how did we get it? Every possible story points to cataclysm.
