Jul 22nd: A Crash of Clusters
Today @cosmicsavannah are joined by Dr Kenda Knowles to discuss about her work and the detection of very faint emissions from these clusters. Also dataset of radio emission from 115 galaxies clusters.
Jun 24th: SALT and Near-Earth Asteroids
Today @CosmicSavannah back to their first episode to prepare for more update in their next discussion with Dr. Nicolas Erasmus. So for today, we have the hunt for near-earth asteroids (from 00:23m) using the ATLAS network.
May 27th: The James Webb Space Telescope

In this episode we are joined first by Dr. Tariq Blecher and then by Shilpa Ranchod who talk to us about the clever ways they are trying to capture the elusive signals of hydrogen gas in the distant Universe.
Mar 25th: Rockin’ all over the World
This month @cosmicsavannah take a deep dive into how a planet (in this case Earth) is constructed and learned about how precious metals and diamonds are created and moved through the Earth’s crust also how planets create the building blocks for life, and how life, in turn, helps to create the minerals we find on Earth!
Feb 25th: How to Train Your Galaxy
Today @cosmicsavannah discus about how to recreate the formation of galaxies inside a supercomputer with Dr. Rob Yates as he explains how he uses semi-analytic simulations to try and understand how various elements are created and dispersed around galaxies.
