Join us for this week’s Rocket Roundup with host Annie Wilson as we look back at the launches that happened from the past week, including another SpaceX Starlink launch, a Russsian satellite, and four Chinese satellites.
New radio images from the ALMA telescope show the direct effects of Io’s volcanism on its atmosphere. Plus, we’ll take a look at the next NASA missions to small bodies that we have to look forward to now that OSIRIS-REx has completed the first touch-and-go sample. And you should smile and wave up at the sky because there are exoplanets that could see us, too
Of course, our top story today is the touch-and-go sampling event on our favorite asteroid-to-hate, Bennu. OSIRIS-REx’s TAGSAM worked as expected, and now we’re waiting for the mass measurement of the sample taken. Plus, the Milky Way’s black hole is spinning too slowly to make jets, and the galaxy’s history can be found in atomic hydrogen filaments.
Join us for this week’s Rocket Roundup with host Annie Wilson as we look back at the launches that happened from the past week, including a suborbital launch from Blue Origin, more astronauts on their way to the ISS, and… another batch of Starlink satellites.
Join us for our weekly tour through the local neighborhood! This week we cover how the ice caps on Pluto’s mountains form; we celebrate BepiColombo’s flyby of Venus; and we continue to prep for that Bennu sample. Plus planetary scientist Alan Stern is going to space!
