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.
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.
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.
