It’s another Tuesday, of another week, in another year here on Planet Earth… and that means Dr. Brad Tucker is standing by to bring us the week’s top science and space news.
The Star franchises are near and dear to the hearts of us here at Trekzone, and while we haven’t done much on Star Wars, we have talked Stargate before and today we’re taking it one step further with the Showrunner, Executive Producer and Writer of SG-1, Atlantis and Universe (as well as Dark Matter) … Mr Joseph Mallozzi.
We’ve got another bumper Talkin’ Science for you this week as Dr Tucker brings his usual offering of science and space headlines.
Lee Sargent’s back! We last caught up with him before Vegas or Bust, as we powered through the Berman-era Trek series. Today, we’re tackling Discovery – and Lee’s not afraid to speak his mind on this often polarising series… but, it’s all about engaging in the conversation and challenging one’s preconceptions of the show
Brad’s here with details of Space X’s starship, a mysterious bubble at the center of the galaxy, the first UAE astronaut on the way to the space station and there’s a Loki on Jupiter’s moon Io causing some mischief…
Gary O’Brien and Nick Cook bring news from their Star Trek fan film ventures.
Brad’s here with details of the funding boost for the Aussie space industry, dead satellites almost colliding and the potential for an asteroid collision between Mars & Jupiter wreaking havoc on Earth millions of years ago!
Today it’s the two hundred and fourth podcast in just over seven years, so join Matt Miller as we take a trip down memory lane in this special episode.
We’ve been Talkin’ Science for a while now, and a pattern is starting to form around the groupings of news headlines we cover each week – from Mars to Gravitational Waves to Exoplanets… today Dr. Brad Tucker and Matt have got a collection of firsts for you.
Gravitational Waves have joined exo planets in being “easy” to find… but what are they?
India’s lunar lander suffers a hard landing as Mt Stromlo gets a communications boost with a world first Quantum Optical Ground Station set to be built!
It’s a bumper Talkin’ Science for Trekzone’s 200th podcast today. Brad’s here and he’s got details on his work at the Siding Springs Observatory plus there’s an allegation that NASA
The Star Trek Rumour Mill – a place where it’s typically more important to be first with the headlines to get the views and ad revenue than it is to be correct. Join us as we look at the Two Sides to this topic.
Ketwolski didn’t start out debunking the headlines of these channels, but has recently dived into cracking the minutia of these clickbait headlines.
Brad’s live in person on this week’s Talkin’ Science. We’ve got the details on Russia’s first robot in space, alleged cyber crime on the ISS and three new exoplanets discovered!
Even though Olivia was a one-time guest star on The Next Generation, she is a prolific actress with dozens of guest star credits to her name – from Law and Order to The Clone Wars. She takes some time in our final STLV 2019 interview to talk about her work, the fans and Jedi Master Luminara Unduli’s journey in the Star Wars animated series.
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.
Australia’s first sovereign orbital rocket designed and built has finally cleared all regulatory hurdles, and
