Last week we talk about the spacecraft which are helping to study Earth from above. Now @AstronomyCast will talk about missions close to home that helping us understand our place in the cosmos.
It’s time for another series! This time we’re gonna look at the missions that’re currently in place across the solar system. We’ll start with the key missions here on Earth
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is one of its most iconic features. First seen hundreds of years ago. Although it’s certainly long lasting, it’s been changing in size over the last few decades. Shrinking, changing in color. Is it fading away? And what can the changes tell us about storms on giant planets?
We’ve looked at Earth’s changing climate, now let’s see what it’s like for another world: Mars.
It’s official! June and July were the warmest we’ve seen since records began over a century ago. Today we’re going to look at 20 years of climate science, how well does reality match up with the predictions.
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?
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.
This week we find out when stars get torn apart from gravity, how we can see supermassive black holes, how liquid water could have existed on Mars in the past, and much more.
How do planets get their atmospheres? What would happen to the Earth if the Moon just disappeared? And what’s that strange glow we see after sunset? Do we live in an unbalanced Universe?
Can our Sun generate a solar flare that would wipe out life on Earth? Has the Large Hadron Collider answered any questions about the Higgs boson? And what would happen if you shined your flashlight out the front window of a spaceship going almost the speed of light?
