Jul 26th: Strange Supernova Appears Cool Before Exploding
Researchers find that the “oddball supernova” of a curiously cool, yellow star was lacking the hydrogen content expected.
Jul 19th: Cosmic Billiards Leads to Inner Planetary Growth
The inner solar system was a wild and wooly place and the collisions that formed Earth and Venus were likely of the hit-and-run variety
Jul 12th: Saturn’s Rings & Magnetic Fields Help Understand Planet’s Interior
Studies from Cassini found that the magnetic fields & a wave in the rings provide insight into the core structure and composition of the gas giant.
Jul 5th: JWST Reveals Star Formation Details
Let’s take a fast-paced journey thru all that’s new in space and astronomy and look at how JWST reveal star formation in never-before-seen details.
Jun 30th: One Thousand & Home Wrecker
Today’s Travelers in the Night will tell stories about the discovery of more than 1,000 Earth approaching asteroids in a single year and extremely remote chance of dangerous mountain sized space rock
Jun 28th: Planning To Go Back To The Moon
This week… there was a far too much news problem, the last flight of Virgin Galactic’s Unity suborbital spacecraft, the first crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner capsule to the ISS, a more successful launch test of SpaceX’s massive starship, the successful landing, loading, and liftoff of Chang’e 6 at the Moon, and… the beginning of the end for the HST as it shifted into single gyro operations.
Jun 21st: Climate in Crisis & Stars in Formation
In this episode, we bring you stories on how JWST – Not LIGO and Virgo – spotted the most distant Black Hole merger to date, why the search for life on other worlds gets more challenging the more we look, and we take a deep dive into the things we’re doing that cause and relieve climate change.
Jun 14th: Chinese Lander Detects Water on the Moon
China’s Chang’e-5 lunar lander has made the first in situ detection of water on the Moon, using reflectance spectroscopy from the surface of our natural satellite.
Jun 7th: Dark Matter Delays Supernova Signal
A supernova first observed in 2016 will be replayed in a few years because of the light’s journey through a galaxy cluster and how dark matter gravitationally warps space-time.
