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

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.
