New research indicates that there may be up to 36 intelligent civilisations in the Milky Way right now, as Starlink opens its doors for initial trials and some Aussies were part of a world record attempt to measure light pollution.
Dreadnought Dominion’s executive producer and lead actor Gary Davis swings past Trekzone once again to update us on his teams latest Star Trek fan film offerings.
It’s time for another installment of Talkin’ Science uncut, produced live. Experience the stories of the week in full with our feature length edition of Talkin’ Science.
Last weekend was a busy one for low Earth orbit. Three private companies attempted to launch three separate rockets into orbit – and while only SpaceX & Rocket Lab were successful, the Japanese attempt marked a step forward in their endeavour.
Another Fast Radio Burst has piqued the interest of astronomers with it’s 157 day repeating pattern. It’s today’s Talkin’ Science story of the week.
Astronomers have stumbled on what could be mistaken for a clone of our own solar system. And while the discovery is yet to be confirmed, all signs are promising for this find.
It’s another jam packed installment of Talkin’ Science this week. Dr Brad stops by with details of the fifth solar flyby for the Solar Parker Probe, an exoplanet system that’s pretty close to our system, a long duration fast radio burst pattern and a busy weekend for low Earth orbit.
Deep Space 43 has been in service for 48 years and is now due for an extreme makeover – ahead of the Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond.
We’re back for another week of Talkin’ Science UNCUT, produced LIVE across Trekzone’s socials…
In the closest star system to us, the closest planet to us lives. It orbits it’s parent star every 11 hours and could be one of three planets in the Proxima Centauri system…
Fast Radio Bursts are a relatively new discovery on the astronomical scene, first detected in 2007. Astronomers originally believed they burst out from the supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies – but new measurements indicate that’s not the case…
Astronomers have been studying Mars’ twin moons – Phobos and Deimos – and believe that a few million years they actually formed a ring system around the red planet.
It’s an eclectic mix of stories for this weeks Talkin’ Science. Not only do astronomers think Mars had rings, but they’ve discovered fast radio bursts aren’t coming from supermassive blackholes like they thought and we have the second confirmation of Proxima Centauri B, the closest exoplanet to Earth!
The Trek Geeks are holding a special livestream event on Thursday, June 11 with special guest Jonathan Frakes. Founders Bill Smith & Dan Davidson join Matt to chat about the current world climate and this special event.
Last weekend was a monumental one for NASA’s crewed spaceflight program, meanwhile Australian astronomers have paved the way for new understandings…
Aussie astronomers using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder have successfully completed a two decade search for the universe’s missing matter. Find out what that means on today’s Talkin’ Science Story of the Week…
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.
