Associate Professor Neeraj Sharma led a team of UNSW researchers who stumbled upon a “thermally stable material” made up of several elements, which could have wide ranging applications from spacecraft
Here are the headlines in this the 23rd week of 2021.. It might be possible to reach another star system in a few decades after a major scientific breakthrough at
Professor Andrew Hopkins from Macquarie University beams in to explore the research he and a team of astronomers around the world have just released detailing previously though radio-quiet zones in
On this Talkin’ Science – We’re off to Venus, NASA announces two missions to our other planetary neighbour… SpaceX and Axiom Space agree to fly 3 more private astronaut missions
We’re thrilled to be out of the studio for this Talkin’ Science episode. Hypersonix’s Michael Smart sits down with Matt at the University of Queensland to discuss their scramjet engine
For just on a decade, Dr Sarah Pearce has been leading the Space Science division at the CSIRO – Australia’s science agency. Now she’s moving over to the Australian arm
As the most detailed map of the universe is revealed, we’ve learnt that the Milky Way isn’t unusual and Curiosity has snapped some pretty cool cloud formations on Mars…
We’re taking you to the front row of astronomical observing – weather permitting – for 2021’s Total Lunar Eclipse. Thanks to the Scenic Rim Astronomy Association.
As Virgin Galactic celebrates it’s third flight, and first from New Mexico, Australia’s Air Force officially launches Space Division and Dr Brad and Matt preview this week’s Total Lunar Eclipse.
It was their twentieth launch of the Electron rocket. Unfortunately for only the third time the entire payload and second stage was lost due to an anomaly. Jonathan McDowell, space
As China’s lander touches down in the Utopia Planitia basin on Mars, a Russian film announces it’ll be racing to film on the Space Station against Tom Cruise’s project and
Earlier this week OSIRIS-REx, NASA’s asteroid sample return mission, successfully “pushed off” from Bennu to begin it’s thirty month journey home. Project Scientist Jason Dworkin beams back into Trekzone to
We’re Talkin’ Science in week 18 of 2021… Dr Brad’s here with details of Blue Origin’s auction of a seat on their forthcoming New Shepard lunch – someone will get
We were live this morning as the booster stage of China’s latest Long March 5B to launch returned to Earth. Space archaeologist Professor Alice Gorman, spaceflight commentator Jonathan Gorman and
Nick Swainston is our guest on this edition of Talkin’ Science. With the help of some machine learning and a good pair of analytical eyes he discovered what’s been called
Following the successful launch and orbital insertion of the first stage of their Tiangong space station, China’s Long March 5B rocket booster is about to befall the same fiery end
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.
Even though Saturn’s rings appear clean and young, they may be as old as the planet itself according to international researchers. It was previously thought that impacts with small rocky debris travelling through space – called micrometeoroids – would dirty and darken the rings over time, but in 2004 the Cassini spacecraft revealed the rings to be clean and bright suggesting that they are not very old.
Australia’s first sovereign orbital rocket designed and built has finally cleared all regulatory hurdles, and
International researchers have found a giant planet transiting a very young star, in research that indicates this could be the youngest transiting planet found to date.
