Today you learn how astronomers discovered 12 new moons around Jupiter and why you should care,

why you should rethink that post-workout beer, and we'll test your

skills by seeing if you can correctly answer Elon Musk's favorite job interview question.

What's satisfying curiosity.

We'll start with some big news from space.

Astronomers of the Carnegie Institution for Science have just discovered 12 new moons

orbiting around Jupiter.

Scott Shepard was the principal investigator on the project and his team was actually looking for something completely different

when they found the moons. They were searching for a possible mega planet ten times the mass of Earth,

which would be beyond the orbit of Pluto. Astronomers call it Planet 9,

and they think it might disturb the orbits of several small asteroids in that region.

We still haven't found Planet 9, but thanks to the search,

we found a dozen moons. Not a bad trade-off, right? Nine of the moons

are in the outer reaches of Jupiter's system, orbiting in the opposite direction of the planet's

spin. Two moons are closer and are moving in the same direction as the planet's spin. Two moons are closer and are moving in the same

direction as the planet's spin. And the last moon is an oddball. It's orbiting in a

completely different way than all the rest. But this discovery means that Jupiter has a mind-blowing 79 moons. And the word

mind-blowing is the big takeaway here. I mean we just discovered a dozen moons right here in

our solar system. That just goes to show how much

there is to learn about our universe. Moons are hard to spot because they're
