As the Solar Orbiter spacecraft beams back the most detailed images of the Sun, the Emirates Mars mission lifts off and we take stock of the decade-long plan to build on Australia’s astronomical community.
Gilmour Space on the Gold Coast is another pioneer of the Aussie space industry and they’re powering ahead with their hybrid rocket design. Today, co-CEO Adam Gilmour zooms in for A Trekzone Conversation about their company.
From electrical engineering, visual effects at ILM and Sulu on Star Trek: Continues. The man, the mythbuster, the legend – Grant Imahara.
We’ve covered it all on this week’s editions of Talkin’ Science, and it’s time to wrap them all up with this uncut edition, produced live…
The night time sky is turning on a treat for amateur astronomers with Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn all at opposition – find out exactly what that means, and how you can see it, with today’s Talkin’ Science Story of the Week..
It’s a real concern in both directions of travel as we set our minds to further missions to Mars and the Artemis program, space contamination could spell disaster not only for what lies preserved on the worlds of our solar system, but what these sample return missions (and crewed return missions) can bring back to Earth.
China’s space program has wrapped a busy week, launching three satellites into orbit from two launches. Dr Brad has the details in this Talkin’ Science Story of the Week.
As China launches three satellites in two weeks, NASA issues directives to manage space contamination and planetary opposition provides a treat for amateur astronomers. It’s Talkin’ Science from Trekzone!
Chief Engineer James Waldie is our guest today as part of Aussie Space Month here at Trekzone, with thanks to SpaceAustralia.com.
We’re back live for another edition of Talkin’ Science uncut. From hungry black holes to the loss of 7 satellites, we’ve got this week’s science and space news headlines.
Over the weekend Rocketlabs – the US company aiming to provide fast and reliable access to space – had another failure to launch, which resulted in the loss of all seven satellites.
Astronomers studying data from the Kepler Space Telescope have discovered moons orbiting exoplanets. They’re even harder to find because of their size, but these candidates are about 200 to 3,000 light years away.
Astronomers have made an astonishing discovery while spotting the largest black hole in the known universe. It’s thirty four billion times the mass of our star… and consumes the equivilant of our sun a day.
Astronomers are being kept busy by new research into black holes and exomoons as Rocketlabs – the US based company aiming to provide fast and reliable access to space – fails to launch again.
It’s Aussie Space Month all July (2020) here on Trekzone, and we’re kicking things off with Dr Jason Held having A Trekzone Conversation about his companies government contract to build our own mission control centre.
It’s time to produce live the uncut edition of Talkin’ Science. Catch up on our stories including Pluto’s potential ‘hot start’, some impressive black hole discoveries and the exoplanet spotted around baby star “AU Mic.”
Researchers from the Curtin node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research say they have made a record-breaking astrophysical discovery while simultaneously uncovering a possible explanation for the rare and extreme event known as long-period radio transients.
The Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 may have occurred during a rare intense wind event, according to international researchers who say this means our scientific understanding of the planet may be flawed.
Astronauts perform tasks slower in space, but a new study involving 25 professional astronauts has found no evidence of brain damage once they returned to Earth.
Overseas researchers report new evidence suggesting the Moon is older than we previously thought thanks to a ‘remelting’ of the Moon’s surface around 4.35 billion years ago that may have masked a far older history.
New Curtin University-led research has uncovered what may be the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, revealing the planet may have been habitable at some point in its past.
Two new stars have been found dancing near the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, according to international researchers, who say the binary star system was predicted to be there but has escaped detection until now.
