Recent observations of twelve different stellar streams around the Milky Way have revealed the effects of dark matter, similar to how lights on a Christmas Tree reveal the shape of the tree in dark.
We think we’re really smart now we have computers, cryptocurrencies, video games and spaceships. But we’re no smarter than our cave-dwelling ancestors. They were just as intelligent!
Why was there a difference between the amount of matter and antimatter at the beginning of the Universe? Mathematics lets us travel faster than light speed, so why can’t we? And are there stars forming around black holes?
Today’s Travelers in the Night will bring you stories about Saturns and asteroid survey as a planetary defense system.
Magnetars has the record of the strongest magnetic fields of any object. How magnetars form and produce such colossal magnetic fields remains a mystery.

For decades, scientists have been trying to work out just how the Earth got all its water, and the prevailing theory was that comets and asteroids brought it, and we have evidence for that mechanic; however, a new hypothesis has provided evidence that the water was already here, locked away in hydrous minerals in a very iron-poor core.
What is the combined motion of everything in the universe? How does all of that influence us? Are we just going around in circles, or is there something more? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
This week we find out what would happen if the Moon was rotating fast and not tidally locked to the Earth also where the light and matter go into a black hole.
