Don’t presume to assume. Did the Universe really start from a single point? How unusual is the Earth? Let’s explore the answer with @CheapAstro at #365DaysOfAstro
Aug 23rd: Questioning Assumptions

Aug 1st: Multiverses
What if our Universe was just one in an infinite number of parallel universes; a possible outcome from the specific predictions of quantum mechanics. The idea of multiple universes is common in science fiction, but is there any actual science to back this theory up?
Mar 21st: Jets: When Magnetic Fields Fling Things
As astronomers look out across the Universe. They see various objects spewing jets of material light years into space. What causes these jets? And what impact do they have on the Universe?
Mar 15th: What Are Some Alternatives to the Big Bang Theory?
What makes the Big Bang theory so successful? How were alternatives ruled out? What are the electric universe and steady state theories? Do any other options remain, like conformal cyclic cosmology?
Nov 13th: Resolving A Discrepancy In The Hubble Constant
The Hubble Constant tells us how fast the universe is expanding. However, different methods of measuring the Hubble Constant give different results. In this podcast, NOIRLab’s John Blakeslee describes data his team has collected to help resolve this discrepancy.
Nov 2nd: Will Our Universe End in a False Vacuum Decay?
What is a vacuum, and what makes a false one? What happened in the early universe to bring about our current physics? Will it happen again? If so, when?
Oct 23rd: Beyond the Zone of Avoidance
Today Cosmic Savannah talk with Sambatriniaina Rajohnson about her work on large scale structure of the universe and her plan to observe these structure in Vela supercluster region using MeerKAT.
Oct 12th: The Big Questions
How long did the Universe take to complete the periodic table? Is Interstellar travel really out of the question? @CheapAstro will answer these questions today.
Sep 25th: The Universe Evolves Too
In this week’s @cosmicsavannah, Robbie Lees chat with Liantsoa Finaritra Randrianjanahary about the evolution of the universe and how he can determine some of the hidden secrets of the universe
Sep 20th: The Important Numbers in the Universe
This week we wanted to give you a basic physics lesson. This isn’t easy physics, this is a lesson on the basic numbers of the Universe. Each of these numbers define a key aspect of our Universe.
