Exoplanet

Scientists studying the Trappist-1 system have made a discovery that likely dashes the hopes of either colonisation or finding life on the exoplanets.

Win a free trip to the moon… you'll just need to convince a Japanese billionaire you're worth it. A newly discovered exo planet could help us understand life and we may finally understand the moon beam excited by solar photons which was first discovered in 90's.

NASA preps Osiris-REx to land on an asteroid, super habitable exoplanets postulated and Dr Brad and his team discover the closest star to be gobbled up by a black hole. Those stories - plus the headlines - on this edition of Talkin' Science.

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.

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 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.

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.
