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…
While Pluto potentially has an ocean buried deep below the surface, some incredible discoveries have been made in black hole research and the TESS satellite has spotted an exoplanet orbiting a baby star.
Nick Cook is helping us continue an impromptu dive into our oft-recurring sub-series of our podcast.. Fan Films Done Right.
While the southern hemisphere was enjoying the winter solstice a bunch of Aussies got together to attempt a world record for measuring light pollution – it’s this week’s final Talkin’ Science story of the week…
SpaceX’s Starlink has put the call out for members of the public to test their network but the catch is only folks in the far northern hemisphere have access, but the speeds potentially on offer are astronomical..
New research has indicated there may be up to thirty six alien civilisations 8n the galaxy right now. Dr Brad and Matt discuss in this Talkin Science Story of the Week.
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.
Researchers from the Curtin node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research say they have made a record-breaking astrophysical discovery while simultaneously uncovering a possible explanation for the rare and extreme event known as long-period radio transients.
The Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 may have occurred during a rare intense wind event, according to international researchers who say this means our scientific understanding of the planet may be flawed.
Astronauts perform tasks slower in space, but a new study involving 25 professional astronauts has found no evidence of brain damage once they returned to Earth.
Overseas researchers report new evidence suggesting the Moon is older than we previously thought thanks to a ‘remelting’ of the Moon’s surface around 4.35 billion years ago that may have masked a far older history.
New Curtin University-led research has uncovered what may be the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, revealing the planet may have been habitable at some point in its past.
Two new stars have been found dancing near the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, according to international researchers, who say the binary star system was predicted to be there but has escaped detection until now.
