Astronomers capture the image of a newborn planet, we bust a couple of myths doing the rounds at the moment and Brad and Matt discuss the upcoming SpaceX launch…
Welcome to another edition of Talkin’ Science uncut, where we produce live the entire show from start to finish on Saturday mornings.
As we gear up for next week’s crewed Dragon test flight, NASA is looking further ahead by putting out the rules for companies and countries collaborating on the Artemis missions to the moon. Interestingly the US hasn’t signed the treaty as yet…
Following the successful test flight of China’s new Long March 5B rocket information has emerged that their deorbit program for the core stage either didn’t go according to plan.
Astronomers using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa have uncovered the mysterious forces behind the boomerang shaped galaxy PKS 2014-55
As astronomers uncover the complexities surrounding galaxy PKS 2014-55, we’re learning details about China’s “whoopsie” as the core stage of their new rocket lands close to New York City and NASA sets down the ground rules for the Artemis missions to the moon…
We’re LIVE once again for this Saturday, May 16 2020 with the uncut edition of this weeks Talkin’ Science…
Last week we brought you details of China’s plans to test launch a bigger rocket they’re hoping to use to get their astronauts into orbit and beyond, as the country continues to rapidly accelerate it’s space program. We can now report that they’ve successfully completed that test.
Known for his daredevil stunts that help push the audience into a massive sense of disbelief, actor Tom Cruise is set to head up to the Space Station to film his next movie. Details are scarce, but at least Tom and a camera operator will be heading up at some point.
Astronomers have discovered the closest black hole to Earth at just 1, 000 light years away. We’re told not to worry though, given that it’s just a small one – a stellar mass black hole.
Another week in our Coronavirus lockdown life rolls around, and Dr Brad Tucker is here with details of the closest black hole to Earth being discovered by astronomers, Tom Cruise and SpaceX signing up to film a movie on the Space Station and China’s shakedown cruise of it’s new long March 5B rocket.
We’re live across social media this morning for this week’s uncut edition of Talkin’ Science.
The Hubble Space Telescope is staying in our news cycle for a third week, as it captures the breakup of comet Atlas.
SpaceX and Blue Origin have been awarded contracts by NASA to aid in their Artemis missions to the moon.
As Earth passes through the tail of Halley’s comet, we’re getting an amazing light show in the predawn skies – the Eta Aquarid meteor shower.
Dr Brad Tucker drops by with details of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, SpaceX and Blue Origin winning contracts for NASA’s Artemis missions to the moon and Hubble spotting comet Atlas’ breakup as the power of the sun got too much for the iceball.
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.
