An In-Depth Look at Recent Mars Science And Exploration
A new paper looks at marsquakes and what is causing them, which turns out to be magma moving. And Curiosity has found rocks it needs to go around. Then there is the weather on Mars. Plus, lunar formation, a giant comet, and this week in rocket history, we look back at Apollo 13.

Star formation in early universe; Existence of Proxima c; Kepler-160 system
Join us today while we talk about the early formation of stars and galaxies in the universe. We find some joy in an astronomer using 25-year old data to prove that Proxima c exists. And we learn about the Kepler-160 system which is very reminiscent of our own Sun-Earth system.
Fermi bubbles and the Magellanic Stream; Fast Radio Bursts and their host galaxies; Mars and its former ring
Join us today while we take a look at Fermi bubbles and their relationship to the Magellanic Stream. We examine new research on the origin galaxies of some Fast Radio Bursts. And we learn about how Mars’ moon Deimos provided evidence that Mars once had a ring.
Rocket Roundup for June 3, 2020
Join us for this week’s Rocket Roundup with host Annie Wilson. We look at the rocket launches that did and did not happen since our last update, including, of course, the SpaceX Crew Dragon launch. We also cover a couple of Chinese launches, one Russian launch, one Japanese launch, the Virgin Orbit test launch, and the explosion of SN4.
Pulsar powering up; Prototype Gamma-Ray telescope sees Crab Nebula; Hot stars have giant magnetic spots
Join us today while we look at astronomy stories from around the world: observing the start-up of a pulsar from a grad student in Australia; observing gamma rays with a new prototype telescope in Arizona; and observing giant magnetic spots with the European Southern Observatory.
Fast Blue Optical Transients; Proxima b is real; Asteroids and comets in the news
Join us today as we take a look at a possible new classification of high energy outbursts. Next, we examine the latest evidence that an exoplanet at our nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, really exists. And finally, we go over a bunch of recent stories on asteroids and comets, including our own dinosaur-killer, Bennu, Ryugu, and Comet ATLAS.
Live from Virtual Balticon! Cosmic ring of fire discovered; Virgin Orbit set to launch cubesat into orbit; BTS at the Daily Space
Join us live from the Virtual Balticon! We look at the new discovery of a ring galaxy 11 billion years back in time. We talk about today’s scheduled Virgin Orbit cubesat launch. And we go behind the scenes at how the Daily Space is made.
