Space science isn’t where the money is… at least not yet. Astronomy and planetary science in the U.S. are funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation, and a variety of smaller foundations and extremely wealthy individuals.
A new research project called the Virgo Environment Traced in Carbon Monoxide Survey (VERTICO) used data collected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to understand just what is stripping star-forming gases out of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies
Today’s EVSN will look at how we now work to understand the history of life on Earth by studying the geology of our planet and apply them to Mars, and exoplanets.
Today EVSN discuss more about meteors – including the source of the Geminids meteor shower, asteroid Phaethon – as well as hot planets, hungry black holes, and how we’re working to uncover the identity of dark matter
Researchers looked at lensed galaxy systems, searched for nearby analogs to those distant systems, and found that in general, the systems showed signs of bingeing star formation and then quiet lulls.
Today we journey out to look at the super massive black hole in the core of M87, and then Beth Johnson will join us with an interview of the SETI Institute’s Dr. Chenoa Tremblay and how radio astronomers are one step closer to simultaneously looking for life and doing science with the very large array.
Researchers have potentially found a Neptune-sized exomoon orbiting a Jupiter-sized planet in a system with a Sun-like star, making it the second such potential exomoon discovered to date.
For decades now, our planetary science news cycles have been dominated by Mars. No, it’s time for Venus. Lets get to know VERITAS, the mission bound to Venus.
We can’t ignore the world we live in, and today we have a special message that reflects on the news around us.
Humans are the ultimate pattern matchers – at least for now. But in the future, AI can take over many task. So today we’re going to take a closer look at how art and AI look at space.
