It’s our second last show of the year and we’ve got a round up of the latest bite size science and space news making headlines over the past couple of
In 2003 Murriyang, the Parkes Radio Telescope, discovered a binary pulsar system. These two long decayed stars now strobe the cosmos with regular electromagnetic radiation. Using these bursts, an international
Queensland rocket company Gilmour Space has seen incredible growth this year and are gearing up for their first launch from the Bowen Launch Complex next year. CEO Adam Gilmour takes
Dr Lilli Sun at the ANU is co-leading a study within the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, postulating the unseen matter making up the universe. We know something has to be out there
After forty eight episodes, this is our final regular show for 2021. On the show, Nissan is teaming up with the Japanese Space Agency to build a lunar rover. A
PhD candidate Jennifer Hardwick is leading a research team into understanding the Fall relation – the correlation between stars and the galaxies in which they live…
NASA’s LCDR launches to prove the laser communication concept | Exoplanet Cannonball, an ball of rock filled with iron is orbiting a red dwarf. | And the closest supermassive black
As we power ahead to the end of 2021, we’re Talkin’ Science with Dr Brad. This week – Aussie astronauts are about to become a thing, Earth Observing gets a
It’s the 47th week of 2021 and NASA is gearing up to launch the DART mission, an Aussie company joins the global fight to tackle space junk and ASTRA reaches
In a special, solo, edition of Talkin’ Science Matt brings you the latest in the world of science and space. We’ve got everything covered in a bite sized podcast –
Professor Simon Driver beams in to explain how AESOP will help the European Space Agency’s VISTA and 4MOST telescopes survey over two million galaxies looking for more information on dark
Scientists have presented the largest number of gravitational wave detections to date. The Hubble team gets one science instrument running again, as they continue troubleshooting the glitch. And Crew-2 returns
It turns out the alien communication detected from Proxima Centauri in 2019 was interference from here on Earth… Dr Danny Price, part of the SETI team beams in to explain
Built from the ground up by some smart people at Curtin University in Perth, cubesat Binar-1 was launched into orbit from the Space Station last week and has phoned home
We’ve got special guest co-host Thomas Crow with us for this edition of Talkin’ Science. We’ll be catching up on Crew 3’s launch delay, find out the depth of the
Astronomers have found the future of our sun, a really old white dwarf thats switching on and off, the first extra galactic exoplanet has been found and Blue Origin’s plans
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.
