New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The Lucy probe's flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson revealed a "tumbling peanut" shape, providing insights into its 155-million-year history. Additionally, observations of asymmetric radio galaxies highlight galactic movement through the intergalactic medium, while debates continue among cosmologists regarding the existence and properties of dark energy. 16
China’s Tianwen-2 spacecraft has successfully arrived at Kamoʻoalewa—a tiny, enigmatic "quasi-satellite" that dances along with Earth on its trek around the Sun. A fascinating scientific debate is heating up over this object's true identity: is it a standard, heavily space-weathered asteroid, or is it a long-lost chunk of our own Moon, violently blasted into space by an ancient impact? Tianwen-2 is on a mission to solve this cosmic identity crisis, and it is happening right now. This week, we sit down with Andrew Jones, a contributing editor for The Planetary Society and a freelance space journalist covering China's rapidly accelerating lunar and planetary exploration programs. He takes us inside the mission to reveal how Tianwen-2 will attempt to hover and snatch samples from this mysterious world, what those pieces could teach us about our Solar System's history, and where China’s planetary ambitions are targeting next. Then, Chief Scientist Bruce Betts joins us for What’s Up to look ahead at asteroid missions and moments on the horizon through the end of this decade, from a Hayabusa2 flyby of asteroid Torifune next month to the 2029 close approach of asteroid Apophis.

Asteroids appear as moving points of light in an asteroid hunter's images so that when my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Alex Gibbs spotted a fuzzy moving object he immediately suspected it to be a comet. The data obtained by astronomers over the next 8 days enabled scientists at the Minor Planet Center to verify Alex's 31st comet discovery and give it the name C/2018 A6 (Gibbs). In January of 2018 it was in the constellation of Leo traveling from the vast empty space above the Sun's north pole toward the plane of the solar system which contains all of the planets and most of the asteroids. In March of 2018 Comet C/2018 A6 (Gibbs) will cross the plane of the solar system a bit farther from the Sun than the giant planet Jupiter's orbit. After that it will continue on a wide arcing parabolic path, pass under the Sun's south pole in the summer of 2019, and once again cross the plane of the solar system in February of 2021. After that it will continue into the vast empty space above the Sun's north pole from whence it came. How a comet brightens as it approaches the Sun is difficult to predict. With luck humans will be able to spot Comet C/2018 A6 (Gibbs) with their naked eye, binoculars, or a small telescope as it pays a rare visit to our planet's neighborhood.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2026. Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Tracie Beuden was observing with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona in the constellation of Perseus when she found 2026-AA, the first asteroid of 2026. Asteroid hunters are trying to track Tracie's discovery with our number on it far enough in advance so humans could give it a tiny nudge and make it miss Earth. - Humans can mitigate the damage done by the impact of an asteroid given a sufficient lead time. In 1998, the US Congress mandated NASA to detect and track 90% of the 1 km sized asteroids capable of effecting local mass destruction as well as global disruption of agriculture and other human activities. This goal has been accomplished. In 2005 Congress extended the mandate to require NASA to detect and track 90% of the 140-m asteroids capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.

Keith Erwood, business continuity and disaster recovery expert, joins Brian Nichols to reveal how a guy with a box of donuts walked into a company and stole the keys to their entire network - and why 40% of small businesses never reopen after a major disaster. No firewall stopped him. No alarm went off. He just smiled, handed over donuts, and photographed the passwords taped to people's monitors. This is the gap between the cybersecurity you THINK you have... and the social engineering, ransomware, and crisis events actually hitting small businesses in 2026.We expose the uncomfortable truth most owners refuse to hear. That "we have insurance" is not a plan. That "checking the box" on security standards is basically a roadmap for the bad guys. And that the threats aren't just hackers anymore - they're supply chain meltdowns, geopolitical shocks, power outages, and disasters that used to hit once a century now landing every other year. Keith's spent 20+ years prepping everyone from Fortune 100 names to family-run shops, and he lays out the exact playbook.Here's the part nobody wants to sit with... A disruption of a few hours? Survivable. A few days? Painful. But once a small business goes dark for a full week, the cash flow dies - and most owners don't have the tools to come back from that. So the real question isn't "could this happen to me." It's "how long could I actually survive if it did?" Inside, Keith breaks down the 2019 disaster drill he ran that everyone laughed at - an earthquake plus a pandemic at the same time - months before COVID did exactly that (22:56). He walks through the stolen-truck insurance claim that got denied... then reversed into a $30,000 check after one 15-minute phone call (25:30).

Today on The Next Big Idea Daily, we're rethinking two defaults we barely notice: the stories we tell, and the way we solve problems. Writer and teacher Henry Lien challenges the Western “three-act” template in Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird: The Art of Eastern Storytelling, showing how different structures—four-act twists, circular narratives, and more—change what feels meaningful and true. Then we turn from narrative to everyday design with engineer and design researcher Leidy Klotz, author of Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less, on why we so often add… when removing is frequently the simpler, smarter move.
On St. Patrick's day 2026 a fireball meteor brighter than the full moon streaked across the daytime sky. The American Meteor Society received 223 eyewitness reports from observers in 15 states, the District of Columbia, and Ontario Canada as well as 5 videos and 6 photos. NASA reported that the incoming object was approximately 6 feet in diameter, weighed about 7 tons, released the energy of 250 tons of TNT, created a sonic boom heard over a wide area , and rained bits of itself onto the ground in Medina county Ohio.
Preview for Later Today: Paul Lozano envisions using fleets of autonomous small satellites equipped with tiny ionic thrusters to explore the asteroid belt. This cost-effective approach aims to gather scientific data and identify valuable resources, potentially sparking an industrial revolution while helping scientists understand the solar system's origins and improve planetary defense.

Most small asteroids are likely to be rubble piles of small rocks and dust loosely held together by their weak force of gravity while others may be made of ices of various substances. A few are solid objects which may contain metals like iron and nickel as well as gold, silver, and platinum. As they whiz by us it is hard to tell much about them from their overall brightness and distance from us. In 2017 my team the Catalina Sky Survey found 21 asteroids having an average diameter of 750 feet which pass closer to the Sun than the planet Mercury. They must be made of very tough rocky material since they regularly receive more solar energy than heats the surface of Mercury to 800F. Over the centuries this repeated baking has likely removed all of their water and other volatile materials leaving only rocky metallic minerals. The largest of this group of tough guys is the half mile in diameter asteroid 2017 VV14 which orbits the Sun once every 3.4 years and can come to about 20 times the Moon's distance from us. The smallest is the 30 foot diameter tiny asteroid 2017 RQ17 which orbits the Sun once every 214 days on a path that brings it close to Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Our Moon. Based on known terrestrial deposits many of the key elements required for modern industry and food production such as phosphorus, antimony, silver, gold, and copper could be exhausted on Earth in the next 50 to 60 years. Perhaps in the future humans will mine tough asteroids for the materials they need.

TPCCafe Radio Presents Classic Sci-Fi, Space Patrol: The Search for Asteriod X. This episode provided by the Old Time Radio Researchers Group At Yahoo
While many dinosaurs were wiped out when a colossal asteroid struck Earth 66m years ago, one group survived: birds. Prof Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, has written a new book, The Story of Birds, tracing the evolution of our feathered friends from their dinosaur origins. He joins science correspondent Nicola Davis to discuss how scales first became feathers, how winged dinosaurs survived the impact of the asteroid and why their extreme adaptability offers hope that birds might also make it through the current environmental crisis.

The beautiful star cluster the Pleiades in the constellation of Tauris is about 100 million years old making it one of the youngest objects that you can see in the natural night sky. Data obtained by observing Oumuamua (“Oh-moo-ah-moo-ah”), the first object humans have identified which is definitely from outside of our solar system suggests that it is an icy body with a red, rock appearing shell, of carbon rich organic material. By tracing Omuamua's path for millions of years into the past, Dr. Fabo Feng of the University of Hertfordshire , found that it's slow speed in the vicinity of 5 stars in the Pleiades suggests that it was ejected from one of them. Check out the Pleiades with your unaided eye, binoculars or a small telescope and contemplate the messengers it might be sending our way.
The gang tackles a wide range of mysteries, including a meteor crash near Massachusetts, the arrival of another enigmatic visitor from beyond our solar system, and the bizarre story of Canadian Ivan Boyes, who claimed an encounter with some very strange occupants of an unidentified craft. Also discussed: the remarkable man who survived both atomic bombings of World War II, plus two civilians recount their own unsettling UFO sightings.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

A start up company Reflect Orbital is proposing to launch 50,000 satellite mirrors by 2035 to illuminate solar panels on Earth all night long. This would be devastating for human sleep cycles, birds, insects, plants and many of the biological systems of organisms on which we all depend.
Psyche has completed a flyby of Mars, coming within three thousand miles of the planet's surface.
DOCKET ALERTS: Never one to let a good crisis go to waste, Republicans are insisting that the lone gunman at the White House Correspondents Dinner means that Trump can — in fact, must! — build his illegal ballroom. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche tweeted out a demand for the National Historic Trust to drop its lawsuit. The Trust told him to get bent. Trump's shakedown of the IRS hit a snag as a federal judge in Florida said she may not have jurisdiction over a case where the plaintiff and the defendant are the same person — Donald Trump. And EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is being so weird at Congress. Is he bad at law, or just lying? MAIN SHOW: It's a courtroom brawl between Elon Musk and Sam Altman over the past and future of AI. Musk claims he was swindled out of seed money by claims that OpenAI would be operated as a non-profit, only to watch the company pivot to a trillion-dollar for-profit enterprise. The jury is empaneled, and the trial begins this week. The Supreme Court heard oral argument Monday in Chatrie v. US. The case involves law enforcement's use of "geofencing" data to find criminal suspects based on their cell phone location data. Should the government have to get a warrant to collect that info? What should those warrants look like?

The mysterious Earth approaching object Phaethon (FAY-eh-thon) does not fit neatly into our definition of either an asteroid or a comet. Further it appears to be like the Peanuts character Pigpen in that it leaves a trail of dust and other fine debris in it's wake which in the case of Phaethon produces the Geminid Meteor Shower to delight us every year around Christmas time. Phaethon is amazing in that every 524 days it makes a death defying flight to a point less than one of half of the planet Mercury's distance from the Sun, where it's surface temperature reaches a mind boggling 1,200 Fahrenheit. During one of these events the NASA Stereo Spacecraft A discovered that Phaethon had rock dust tail.

However, according to a recent research project, the Rubin Observatory will discover but not give an adequate warning time for objects destined to hit the Earth. To provide time to take action to deflect an incoming object we will need to rely on ground based telescopes used by my Catalina Sky Survey teammates and other asteroid hunting groups as well as NASA's NEO Surveyor satellite when it is launched.
On this episode we are joined by Dr. Rainer Zitelmann, to discuss his book New Space Capitalism: The Entrepreneurial Path to the Stars. We discuss why government-funded space programs were initially successful but also why the future of space exploration, and the space economy, will be driven by private companies. Dr. Zitelmann explains what he believes to be the key driver of unlocking the economic potential of space and why it's conceivable that ventures such as space tourism, orbital data centers and asteroid mining might be listed on the stock exchange.

As well as our Moon, planet Earth also has a group of asteroids orbiting around the Sun with it. But questions remain about their origins. *SMILE launches on a mission to study Earth's shield against the solar wind The European space agency has successfully launched its SMILE spacecraft on an ambitious mission to better understand the interaction between Earth's protective magnetosphere and the constant stream of charged particles flowing out from the Sun in the solar wind and space weather events such as solar and geomagnetic storms. *The Science Report High blood pressure now affects two in every five adult Australians. A new tectonic plate boundary could be forming in Zambia. Teens spend almost an hour of their sleep time on their phones instead.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From January 2026. Today's 2 topics: - In the distant past things in our solar system were very much more wild and violent than they are today. 4.5 billion years ago a Mars sized object called Theia impacted Earth producing our Moon. Scientists are able research this event using the current chemical compositions of the Earth and Moon. - Since in its early history the Earth's surface was hot and lifeless it is likely that asteroids formed in the same era as Bennu delivered the raw materials for life when they impacted our home planet long ago.

Professor Dante Lauretta discusses the origins of his journey to explore the dawn of the solar system. The mission began in 2004 when his mentor, Mike Drake, invited him to meet with Lockheed Martin to propose an asteroid sample return mission. Lauretta shares his personal background as a once "directionless" student who found inspiration through a NASA job advertisement. The team's initial proposals suffered demoralizing rejections from NASA, which served as a "gut punch" but ultimately strengthened their resolve. These early challenges led to the identification of the target asteroid, 1999 RQ36. (1/4)FEBRUARY 1930
When the spacecraft arrived at Bennu in late 2018, the team was shocked to find a rugged, boulder-strewn surface instead of the expected sandy "beach." Bennu revealed itself as a "trickster" and an "active asteroid," frequently ejecting rock particles into space like "popcorn." These surprises forced the team to abandon their original laser-guided landing plan for a more sophisticated "Bullseye TAG" autonomous system. During the eventual sample collection at the "Nightingale" site, the asteroid's surface behaved like a fluid; the collector plunged so deep it became overfilled, causing precious material to leak into space.
