Remembering Michael. Apollo 11’s command module pilot Michael Collins passes away age 90. Extending Ingenuity. The Martian helicopter gets a mission extensions and new directive to aid it’s rover sibling
Recently new analysis of Pioneer data from Venus indicated the presence of pphosphine in the atmosphere. That’s usually a precursor to life, but as Dr McKemmish explains – there’s actually
As Perseverance works to convert carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere to oxygen in a critical experiment for future crewed missions, Ingenuity flies again – further and longer than the
Astronomers are keen to find these intermediate mass black holes – aka Goldilocks Black Holes – because they’re believed to be the missing link to understand how super massive black
As Ingenuity flies for just under forty seconds on Mars, President Biden pledges another $1.5 billion to the NASA coffers, former Shuttle Commander Pamela Melroy receives a nomination to the
It’s a comet that has the astronomical community. Is it from beyond our solar system? Is it made up of pebbles or something finer? Join Matt as he chats with
As a seven year project to build a space debris hunting laser at Mount Stromlo comes to fruition, we celebrate 60 years since Yuri Gagarin and 40 years since the
We’re thrilled to welcome expedition 64’s flight engineer to Talkin’ Science. Colonel Mark Vande Hei beams in from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to chat to Matt about the mission ahead of
On this Talkin’ Science – Australia will have it’s own space command next year, joining other world powers in orbit. Astronomers have gotten a pretty good view of 2I/Borisov, as
Michael Davis AO beams in to chat about the Aussie Space Forum that took place in Adelaide last week.
Dr Graham Walker loves his job and he loves teaching others about science too. It’s all part of his outreach program that’s taken him to Africa, Asia and even right
We’re following three pretty big stories this week on Talkin’ Science. As Japan launches a space junk hunter, French wine that spent a year on the space station gets taste
Dr Brad’s back for another installment of Talkin’ Science. On this episode, we dive into a new study hinting at where Mars’ water went and Oumuamua – the intergalactic visitor – may actually be a shard of a planetoid… plus astronomers think seven of these visitors visit us every year…
Dr Luke Daly at the University of Glasgow led a recovery team to a very rare and precious carbonaceous chondrite meteorite. The Global Fireball Oversatory managed to guide the team to a radius of 400 meters to allow for a very fast recovery – maintaining the purity of the specimen.
Deadly Science was founded by Corey Tutt, the 2020 NSW Young Person of the Year, to meet the demand for STEM resources in remote Australian schools – and to show First Nations children that they too can be part of STEM.
Cosmonauts have fixed a leak in one of the oldest modules on the Space Station. Russia and China sign up to build their own station in lunar orbit and dust found in the Chicxulub Crater confirms the cause of the dinosaur extinction.
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.
