In the closest star system to us, the closest planet to us lives. It orbits it’s parent star every 11 hours and could be one of three planets in the Proxima Centauri system…
Fast Radio Bursts are a relatively new discovery on the astronomical scene, first detected in 2007. Astronomers originally believed they burst out from the supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies – but new measurements indicate that’s not the case…
Astronomers have been studying Mars’ twin moons – Phobos and Deimos – and believe that a few million years they actually formed a ring system around the red planet.
It’s an eclectic mix of stories for this weeks Talkin’ Science. Not only do astronomers think Mars had rings, but they’ve discovered fast radio bursts aren’t coming from supermassive blackholes like they thought and we have the second confirmation of Proxima Centauri B, the closest exoplanet to Earth!
The Trek Geeks are holding a special livestream event on Thursday, June 11 with special guest Jonathan Frakes. Founders Bill Smith & Dan Davidson join Matt to chat about the current world climate and this special event.
Last weekend was a monumental one for NASA’s crewed spaceflight program, meanwhile Australian astronomers have paved the way for new understandings…
Aussie astronomers using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder have successfully completed a two decade search for the universe’s missing matter. Find out what that means on today’s Talkin’ Science Story of the Week…
While the crucial next step in commercial spaceflight for the American space agency was waiting for launch, SpaceX’s Starship prototype exploded at their Boca Chica proving grounds.
Following a delayed launch into orbit, astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are now on board the International Space Station as the third phase of the crucial “demo-2” mission is completed.
What a monumental weekend of crewed spaceflight we’ve just experienced, as America continues to show us the dichotomy it is.
Dr Trek is back with Trekzone to dissect and analyse what we know about the next Star Trek spin off.
A successful afternoon at the Cape as SpaceX marks an historic milestone of returning American astronauts to launches on American soil, nine years after the space shuttle program ended.
What a week of science and space news.
A couple of myths are doing the rounds on-line at the moment and Dr Brad decided it was time to set the record straight.
We’re LIVE to the Kennedy Space Center this morning as SpaceX’s Dragon capsule is set to take flight as part of the final crucial test phase before it can be pressed into service.
An international research team has discovered the swirling gas of a newborn planet.
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.
