Russia says it’s using new technology to perform checks on Russian space equipment, the Americans and the British claim it’s an anti-satellite weapon.
Accompanied by two giant gas planets, a very young Sun-like star has been photographed by the European Southern Observatories Very Large Telescope.
Once thought dormant, our other nearest planet – the one that’s not Mars – has astronomers speculating that there is volcanic activity on the surface.
It’s time for another edition of Talkin’ Science with Dr Brad Tucker and Matt Miller.
It’s time to wrap up Aussie Space Month here on Trekzone, with a clip show…
This week, we’ve brought you info on the latest images of our Sun, the successful launch of the UAE’s mission to Mars and we also took stock of Australia’s astronomical capabilities over the last half a decade.
The Australian Academy of Science has released a review of Australia’s astronomical community and infrastructure at the half way point of a decade-long plan.
The Emirates Mars Mission – or Hope – has successfully lifted off from Earth bound for the red planet.
The Solar Orbiter Spacecraft has captured what appear to be campfires littering the solar surface in the latest images beamed back from the joint NASA-ESA probe.
As the Solar Orbiter spacecraft beams back the most detailed images of the Sun, the Emirates Mars mission lifts off and we take stock of the decade-long plan to build on Australia’s astronomical community.
Gilmour Space on the Gold Coast is another pioneer of the Aussie space industry and they’re powering ahead with their hybrid rocket design. Today, co-CEO Adam Gilmour zooms in for A Trekzone Conversation about their company.
From electrical engineering, visual effects at ILM and Sulu on Star Trek: Continues. The man, the mythbuster, the legend – Grant Imahara.
We’ve covered it all on this week’s editions of Talkin’ Science, and it’s time to wrap them all up with this uncut edition, produced live…
The night time sky is turning on a treat for amateur astronomers with Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn all at opposition – find out exactly what that means, and how you can see it, with today’s Talkin’ Science Story of the Week..
It’s a real concern in both directions of travel as we set our minds to further missions to Mars and the Artemis program, space contamination could spell disaster not only for what lies preserved on the worlds of our solar system, but what these sample return missions (and crewed return missions) can bring back to Earth.
China’s space program has wrapped a busy week, launching three satellites into orbit from two launches. Dr Brad has the details in this Talkin’ Science Story of the Week.
The Schrödinger impact basin is an area of the moon that contains two gigantic canyons – that are definitely there whether you look at it or not – and international researchers say they might have found out how these huge valleys were formed.
Dust on the moon could one day be used to build solar panels, according to researchers who say this could allow astronauts to access power on the moon without carting heavy equipment from Earth.
They say music is the universal language of humankind, but some stars in our galaxy exhibit their own rhythm, offering fresh clues into how they and our galaxy evolved over time.
Miso made in space has a nuttier, more roasted flavour than miso made on solid ground, according to international researchers, who sent a small container of fermenting soybeans and salt, the ingredients for the traditional Japanese condiment, to the International Space Station.
A QUT cosmologist is part of the international research team that’s published an analysis that shines new light on dark energy and suggests the standard model of how the universe works may need an update.
