Get your spook on, plus a multitude of asteroid hoppers and news from the surface of Mars in the latest episode of Walkabout the Galaxy, the only one that is this actual episode!

The planet formerly known as "Planet 9" is the biggest bestest baddest planet in the solar system! I spit at Jupiter's red spot. I laugh at your puny, rocky planets, and I don't care about Saturn's rings. I'm the planet-est of planets, the planet that all others should be measured by and then, found wanting, discarded into the heap of non-planets. Egotron – it keeps going, and going, and going…!
