Join us today as we look at New Horizons images of Pluto for evidence of how the planet’s icy ocean formed. We also discuss Breakthrough Listen’s announcement of a new catalogue of “exotic” targets. And finally, we share the news that a very young hot Jupiter close to its star was found in TESS data.
Join us today as we take a look at an amazing all-sky view done in x-ray wavelengths. We also get to see gorgeous images Hubble took of planetary nebulae that show wild processes going on. And finally, we learn that planets form much more quickly than previously thought.
Join us today while we take a look at a laboratory recreation of a supernova. We’ll also talk about the discovery of another amino acid precursor molecule in an interstellar cloud. Finally, we call attention to news that a dark matter detector has possibly seen some weird particle interactions and what that could mean.
Join us for this week’s Rocket Roundup with host Annie Wilson, where we’ll watch China launch an oceanography satellite, Rocket Lab launch an Electron rocket called “Don’t Stop Me Now”, and SpaceX launch even more Starlink satellites (plus a few hitchhiking SkySats).
Join us today as we consider a new paper on why pulsars shine so brightly (hint: it’s those pesky magnetic fields). We take a look at new images of Antares’ massive atmospheric layers. Finally, we share a story from our own Planetary Science Institute: evidence has been found that there are volcanic craters on Saturn’s moon, Titan.
Join us today as we look at four exoplanets being “cooked” by their star. We discuss a study that reveals that organic molecules existed in the Universe before stars even formed. And we examine a new story on the possibility for intelligent life in our galaxy.
