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.
new asteroid has been discovered with an orbit that crosses our own planet’s orbit. In general, this object and Earth are very good and not trying to occupy the same space at the same time, and we’ve managed to coexist for a fair amount of time..
Scientists using the Murchison Widefield Array in Australia recently discovered an extremely bright source of radio waves, releasing bursts of energy three times an hour. That timing makes the object behave unlike anything else seen to date, leaving the research team with a new mystery to unravel
A new asteroid has been discovered with an orbit that crosses our own planet’s orbit. However, in 2046, and for the first time in a long time, the potentially dangerous asteroids list actually gave us something to worry about.
Scientists analyzed iron-rich sedimentary rocks and estimated the amount of oxygen present in the atmosphere when those rocks formed, finding low levels of oxygen and giving insight into a potential biosignature for life beyond Earth.
In general, the kind of year we’ll experience gets its label at the end of the year. This year, 2023, is still young, but I’m going to guess that come January 2024, this will be the year of Io.
