Radio astronomy is entering the fray when it comes to finding exoplanets, with new research postulating that radio signals from red dwarf stars are actually the magnetic interaction with their
Australia set to join an elite club, when we build a lunar rover for Artemis, an intermittent radio signal from the centre of the Milky Way has been discovered by
We’re just eleven weeks from the end of the year, and on today’s Talkin’ Science – the first potential exoplanet to orbit three stars – a trinary star system –
Captain Kirk is set to take flight, with William Shatner aboard Blue Origin. NASA’s InSight Lander records a 4.5 magnitude Marsquake for over an hour! And a new theory postulates
Dr Matt Roth from Mt Stromlo has discovered the origins of gamma rays after studying old Hubble data and observations from the Fermi Gamma Ray Observatory. It’s unlocked a key
Only a handful of severe earthquakes have rocked Australia in the past 100 years, from Meckering in Western Australia to Newcastle in New South Wales and the Northern Territory as
It’s time for another edition of Talkin’ Science. Dr Brad and Matt have details of studies into China’s lunar samples, Inspiration 4’s return to Earth, a Russian film crew heading
Professor Deanne Fisher and an international team have discovered what happens during stellar formation… and where heavier elements come from…
It’s the thirty fifth week of 2021 and today we’re talkin Perseverance successfully drilling for rocks the second time round, the Federal Aviation Administration in the US grounding Virgin Galactic
It’s the 34th week of 2021 and NASA’s new space telescope clears it’s final testing and is now ready for launch. An asteroid has been discovered orbiting the Sun, closer
Macquarie University’s Doctor Christian Schwab developed a new kind of spectrometer that brings solar systems into sharper focus to aid in the discovery of smaller exoplanets. On this episode, we
It’s the thirty third week of 2021 and Russian space junk likely caused the loss of a Chinese satellite. Fifteen years on since the textbooks were changed – why does
It’s an innovative concept that’ll help astronauts use ground penetrating radar to effectively search below the surface as we reach out to the stars in the years ahead. MAPrad is
It’s the thirty third week of 2021 and we’ve got details of SpaceX being contracted to launch a billboard into space, but not to hit us with ads from the
A new theory postulates that the slowing of Earth’s rotation in it’s younger years contributed to increased oxygenation of the atmosphere, thus helping more complex life to evolve. We’re joined
It’s the 32nd week of 2021.. and we’ve got details of the shocking moment Kepler caught the end of a massive yellow star… an x-ray image of black hole V404
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.
