NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has made a remarkable discovery while studying the baby star “AU Mic” – it has an exoplanet about the same distance as Neptune is from our star.
While LIGO and Virgo are detecting gravitational waves of a black hole potentially swallowing a tiny neighbouring object, astronomers have spotted the biggest quasar way out in the depths of the early universe.
At the beginning of the solar system Pluto may have been bombarded by rocky material in much the same way as the inner planets. That means, according to researchers, there may be an ocean locked away under the surface…
While Pluto potentially has an ocean buried deep below the surface, some incredible discoveries have been made in black hole research and the TESS satellite has spotted an exoplanet orbiting a baby star.
Nick Cook is helping us continue an impromptu dive into our oft-recurring sub-series of our podcast.. Fan Films Done Right.
While the southern hemisphere was enjoying the winter solstice a bunch of Aussies got together to attempt a world record for measuring light pollution – it’s this week’s final Talkin’ Science story of the week…
SpaceX’s Starlink has put the call out for members of the public to test their network but the catch is only folks in the far northern hemisphere have access, but the speeds potentially on offer are astronomical..
New research has indicated there may be up to thirty six alien civilisations 8n the galaxy right now. Dr Brad and Matt discuss in this Talkin Science Story of the Week.
New research indicates that there may be up to 36 intelligent civilisations in the Milky Way right now, as Starlink opens its doors for initial trials and some Aussies were part of a world record attempt to measure light pollution.
Dreadnought Dominion’s executive producer and lead actor Gary Davis swings past Trekzone once again to update us on his teams latest Star Trek fan film offerings.
It’s time for another installment of Talkin’ Science uncut, produced live. Experience the stories of the week in full with our feature length edition of Talkin’ Science.
Last weekend was a busy one for low Earth orbit. Three private companies attempted to launch three separate rockets into orbit – and while only SpaceX & Rocket Lab were successful, the Japanese attempt marked a step forward in their endeavour.
Astronomers have stumbled on what could be mistaken for a clone of our own solar system. And while the discovery is yet to be confirmed, all signs are promising for this find.
It’s another jam packed installment of Talkin’ Science this week. Dr Brad stops by with details of the fifth solar flyby for the Solar Parker Probe, an exoplanet system that’s pretty close to our system, a long duration fast radio burst pattern and a busy weekend for low Earth orbit.
Deep Space 43 has been in service for 48 years and is now due for an extreme makeover – ahead of the Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond.
We’re back for another week of Talkin’ Science UNCUT, produced LIVE across Trekzone’s socials…
An accomplished international photographer, Charles Brooks, has captured dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at the Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron’s path when it is used. A synchrotron engineer converted radio waves produced in the vacuum chamber into sound files.
The Varda Space Industries W-2 capsule safely returned to Earth at Southern Launch’s Koonibba Test Range completing a dual-purpose mission with payloads from the United States Air Force and NASA at the end of February.
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.
