Andrew Jarvis zooms into Trekzone on this edition of A Trekzone Conversation. Now, you might not recognise his name – but you’ll know his and his teams work if you’ve seen the latest live action Star Trek series…
As the Parkes Radio Telescope joins the national heritage list, SpaceX’s Starship successfully flies and supernova ‘1987A’ gives away a fascinating secret.
SpaceX has backed up their Crew Dragon success with the first flight of Starship… it flew, and landed, at their testing range in Texas.
In 1987 a massive supernova erupted in the Large Magellanic Cloud.. now, it seems to have left behind a neutron star.
The 2019 total lunar eclipse gave astronomers a unique perspective on the Earth’s ozone layer…
Astronomers use a total lunar eclipse to study the ozone, and find exoplanets. The 1987 supernova may have brought the universe a neutron star and Starship finally soars, and lands, in another successful test flight for SpaceX.
Time for an intermission post as Pawgust 2020 continues. Here at Trekzone we’re supporting this awesome cause and today we’re checking out the Queensland school of Guide Dogs Australia.
The FCC in the US has greenlit Amazon’s ambitious plans to compete with Starlink for global satellite internet dominance. The Jeff Bezos led company has a leg up on Elon Musk’s project though, given Amazon Web Services serve much of the internet backbone already, and there are ground based stations worldwide.
Astronomers long thought the earliest stars had all died out, and the universe was on it’s third generation of pinpoints of light in the night sky. However, the Phoenix cluster has thrown those theories out the window… as it’s jam packed with “first generation” stars.
Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are back on Earth following the successful test flight of the Crew Dragon capsule. It means NASA is back in the game of launching astronauts from American soil, for the first time since the shuttle retired almost a decade ago.
It’s the Star Trek Fan Film that’s been promised for five years. After putting our coverage aside for eighteen months, it’s time to check in with Axamonitor’s Carlos Pedraza to see if any progress has been made.
As Perseverance finally launches, SpaceX completes it’s final test flight for Crew Dragon and a globular cluster of stars has astronomers rethinking what they thought they knew about their life cycles.
It’s time to change things up here at Trekzone. Find out why in this special edition.
It’s all wrapped up in today’s Talkin’ Science LIVE and Uncut.
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.
International researchers suggest that water might have formed a mere 100-200 million years after the Big Bang, far earlier than previously thought, and it might have been a key part of the formation of our universe’s first galaxies.
An accomplished international photographer, Charles Brooks, has captured dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at the Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron’s path when it is used. A synchrotron engineer converted radio waves produced in the vacuum chamber into sound files.
The Varda Space Industries W-2 capsule safely returned to Earth at Southern Launch’s Koonibba Test Range completing a dual-purpose mission with payloads from the United States Air Force and NASA at the end of February.
New analysis of marsquakes, which are similar to earthquakes, could offer clues into how Mars has evolved over billions of years, according to new research from The Australian National University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Distant neutron stars typically spin a full 360 degrees within seconds. However, a new type of ‘radio transient object’ – so called as they are detected in radio waves – has emerged that rotate much more slowly. In the time it takes this cosmic lighthouse to rotate you could watch Interstellar twice before it completes a full spin.
An international study led by Australian astronomers has created the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the universe to date in three new research papers. The study also produced the largest ever galactic-scale gravitational wave detector and found further evidence of a “background” of these invisible yet incredibly fast ripples in space that can help unlock some major mysteries of the universe.
