As China launches three satellites in two weeks, NASA issues directives to manage space contamination and planetary opposition provides a treat for amateur astronomers. It’s Talkin’ Science from Trekzone!
CBS All Access has dropped our first look at Star Trek: Lower Decks – the animated series from Rick & Morty creator Mike McMahan.
Chief Engineer James Waldie is our guest today as part of Aussie Space Month here at Trekzone, with thanks to SpaceAustralia.com.
We’re back live for another edition of Talkin’ Science uncut. From hungry black holes to the loss of 7 satellites, we’ve got this week’s science and space news headlines.
Over the weekend Rocketlabs – the US company aiming to provide fast and reliable access to space – had another failure to launch, which resulted in the loss of all seven satellites.
Astronomers studying data from the Kepler Space Telescope have discovered moons orbiting exoplanets. They’re even harder to find because of their size, but these candidates are about 200 to 3,000 light years away.
Astronomers have made an astonishing discovery while spotting the largest black hole in the known universe. It’s thirty four billion times the mass of our star… and consumes the equivilant of our sun a day.
Astronomers are being kept busy by new research into black holes and exomoons as Rocketlabs – the US based company aiming to provide fast and reliable access to space – fails to launch again.
It’s Aussie Space Month all July (2020) here on Trekzone, and we’re kicking things off with Dr Jason Held having A Trekzone Conversation about his companies government contract to build our own mission control centre.
It’s time to produce live the uncut edition of Talkin’ Science. Catch up on our stories including Pluto’s potential ‘hot start’, some impressive black hole discoveries and the exoplanet spotted around baby star “AU Mic.”
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has made a remarkable discovery while studying the baby star “AU Mic” – it has an exoplanet about the same distance as Neptune is from our star.
While LIGO and Virgo are detecting gravitational waves of a black hole potentially swallowing a tiny neighbouring object, astronomers have spotted the biggest quasar way out in the depths of the early universe.
At the beginning of the solar system Pluto may have been bombarded by rocky material in much the same way as the inner planets. That means, according to researchers, there may be an ocean locked away under the surface…
The first trial of an Australian-developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space like sand on a beach.
Rock and dust samples brought back from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu contain organic matter, including amino acids and all five DNA and RNA bases, as well as salts that formed early in the history of Bennu’s parent body, according to a pair of studies by international and Australian researchers.
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.
