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
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.
It’s the end of the third week of March 2025. Here’s the science and space
Astronauts often experience immune dysfunction, skin rashes, and other inflammatory conditions while travelling in space, and international researchers believe these issues are likely due to the overly sterile nature of the International Space Station.
Australia’s first state government funded satellite, Kanyini, has delivered its first images from space, marking
Data from NASA’s InSight mission suggest Mars has a liquid core similar to Earth’s, but European scientists say the core may be solid, at least below a certain temperature.
Scientists have successfully used lasers to identify microbe fossils in rocks from Earth, which are like the rocks found on Mars, opening up the possibility of searching for fossils on the Red Planet.
International scientists, including an Australian, say they’ve found evidence of the highest-energy neutrino detected to date. The result suggests the particle came from beyond our Milky Way, they say, although its precise origin remains mysterious.
