In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking discoveries and intriguing phenomena from Mars to the depths of space.Lightning Strikes on Mars: A Historic DiscoveryNASA's Perseverance Rover has made a remarkable find by detecting lightning in the Martian atmosphere for the first time. Recorded within two dust devils in Jezero Crater, the rover's Supercam microphone captured electromagnetic and acoustic signals indicative of electrical discharges. This discovery not only confirms long-held theories about Martian electrical activity but also reveals significant implications for the planet's atmospheric chemistry and potential hazards for future missions.NASA's Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I AtlasFollowing the European Space Agency's observations, NASA has released stunning images of interstellar comet 3I Atlas. As the comet passed close to Mars, NASA's MAVEN and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter provided crucial data on its trajectory and chemical composition. These insights are helping astronomers piece together the comet's journey and origins, revealing potential clues about water in other star systems.Moss in Space: Resilience Against the VoidA new study has shown that moss can survive the harsh conditions of space for up to 15 years. Researchers sent moss spores to the International Space Station, where they thrived despite exposure to the vacuum and extreme temperatures. This remarkable resilience could have implications for understanding life's potential to endure in extreme environments beyond Earth.Skywatch: December HighlightsAs the December solstice approaches, we take a look at the night sky's highlights, including the Geminids meteor shower and the ticking time bomb of Eta Carina. We also discuss the significance of the December solstice and the celestial events that define this time of year.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of NatureNASA ReportsJournal of Eye ScienceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has captured evidence of electrical discharges(00:03:47) NASA publishes its own observations of the Interstellar Comet 3I Atlas(00:07:26) Moss spores survive exposure to vacuum of space for up to 15 years(00:09:40) The December solstice marks the beginning of winter in both hemispheres(00:11:54) Axial precession causes a slow and continuous change in Earth's rotational axis(00:15:11) Astronomers describe stars in terms of spectral types based on temperature and characteristics(00:19:04) Two blue stars nearing end of their lives before exploding massive core collapse supernovae(00:24:23) Just above the horizon is the constellation of Orion the Hunter(00:34:04) Canopus talks about the effect of the Moon on stargazing(00:37:03) The Southern Cross starts near the celestial equator and wanders far south(00:39:06) There are two star clusters that we speak about quite often on the show(00:41:50) The only planet that's up in the early evening is Saturn

A thrilling tour of Earth that shows the search for extraterrestrial life starts in our own backyard.Is there life off Earth? Bound by the limitations of spaceflight, a growing number of astrobiologists investigate the question by studying life on our planet. Astronomer and author Jon Willis shows us how it's done, allowing readers to envision extraterrestrial landscapes by exploring their closest Earth analogs in The Pale Blue Data Point: An Earth-Based Perspective on the Search for Alien Life (U Chicago Press, 2025). With Willis, we dive into the Pacific Ocean from the submersible-equipped E/V Nautilus to ponder the uncharted seas of Saturn's and Jupiter's moons; search the Australian desert for some of Earth's oldest fossils and consider the prospects for a Martian fossil hunt; visit mountaintop observatories in Chile to search for the telltale twinkle of extrasolar planets; and eavesdrop on dolphins in the Bahamas to imagine alien minds.With investigations ranging from meteorite hunting to exoplanet detection, Willis conjures up alien worlds and unthought-of biological possibilities, speculating what life might look like on other planets by extrapolating from what we can see on Earth, our single “pale blue dot”—as Carl Sagan famously called it—or, in Willis's reframing, scientists' “pale blue data point.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Uranus at Opposition

Uranus is the seventh planet of the solar system, so it’s a long way from both the Sun and Earth. Right now, it’s about 1.7 billion miles away. At that distance, under especially dark skies it’s barely bright enough to see with the eye alone. It’s easy to pick out with binoculars, though. This is an especially good week to look for the planet because it reaches opposition, when it lines up opposite the Sun. It rises around sunset and is in view all night. And it shines brightest for the entire year. In early evening, it’s close to the lower right of another good binocular target, the Pleiades star cluster. Even though Uranus is sometimes visible to the eye alone, it’s so faint that no one realized it was planet for a long time. Every astronomer who saw Uranus logged it as a star, missing out on a chance at immortality. It was officially discovered as a planet by British astronomer William Herschel, in 1781. But even he was fooled by it for a while. When he first saw it, he thought it was a comet. But calculations of its orbit showed that the object was much too far away to be a comet – it had to be a planet, and a big one. Herschel wanted to call it George’s Star after his patron, King George III. Astronomers outside Britain weren’t crazy about that. So almost 70 years later, they finally named it for a Greek god of the sky: Uranus. More about Uranus tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Moon and Spica

If you ever warp over to another star, it would help to know its distance. Say, for example, you wanted to visit Spica, the brightest star of Virgo, which is quite close to the Moon at dawn tomorrow. The system is worth visiting because it consists of two giant stars. They’re so close together that their shapes are distorted, so they look like eggs. The best measurement we have says that Spica is 250 light-years away. But there’s a margin of error of about `four percent. So you could undershoot or overshoot the system by 10 light-years. The distances of most stars are measured with a technique called parallax. Astronomers plot a star’s position at six-month intervals, when Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun. That can produce a tiny shift in the star’s position against the background of more-distant objects. The bigger the shift, the closer the star. But the stars are so far away that the shift is tiny – like the size of a dime seen from miles away – or hundreds of miles. And Earth’s atmosphere blurs the view, so the stars look like fuzzy blobs instead of sharp points. So the most accurate measurements have been made from space. Spica’s distance was measured by Hipparchos, a European space telescope. An even more accurate satellite, Gaia, measured the distances to more than a billion stars – but not Spica. The star was too bright for its detectors – leaving a big margin of error for this impressive system. Script by Damond Benningfield

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed curator, author, and expert in photography, Madga Keany. Currently the Head Curator of International Art at the National Gallery of Art, Canberra, Magda was most recently Curator at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, and before that, Senior Curator, Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery London, where she lead the realisation of a major re-presentation of the Photographs Collection as part of the museum's rehaul. Keany has curated shows and published texts on Australian art, design and social history, photography that ranges from the Victorian period to fashion, conflict and portraiture, solo presentations of portraits by Irving Penn, among many others. She has written for the groundbreaking Know My Name project, that put women artists in Australia on a global stage as well as for Cindy Sherman, A World History of Women Photographers, and more. …but it was her exhibition last year that really grabbed my attention: Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream in', that brought together the two photographers working 100 years apart, from very different worlds, circumstances and contexts, but which showed how these pioneering women shaped the medium, with their dreamlike pictures imbued with beauty, symbolism, classicism, transformation and more… So today, I couldn't be more excited to delve into the life of the 19th century photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, who, aged 49 in 1863, picked up a camera and, largely self-taught, crafted her distinct bohemian style pictures with that hazy sepia glow, that proved to not only be influential in Victorian Britain, but have a huge impact on photography at large. As Cameron once said: “My aspirations are to ennoble Photography and to secure for it the character and uses of High Art by combining the real & Ideal & sacrificing nothing of Truth by all possible devotion to poetry and beauty.” And I can't wait to find out more.

Forestil dig at kigge op på en stjerneklar nattehimmel. Hver eneste stjerne, galakse og støvsky, du kan se – alt det, vi kalder almindeligt stof – udgør kun en lille brøkdel af, hvad universet i virkeligheden består af. Langt størstedelen af vores kosmos er en usynlig og ukendt substans, en slags kosmisk klister, hvis tyngdekraft holder galakserne samlet og former universets struktur. Det er det vi kalder mørkt stof. Og denne gang skal vi blandt andet se nærmere på nogle af de forskellige måder man forsøger at observere det dér mærkelige noget på, når nu vi ikke kan se det direkte.

He previously served as a board member for Astronomer, Transposit, and others. He was an early-stage investor at Snowflake, Sigma, Observe, Lacework, and Clumio. In Today's Discussion with Chad Peet's We Discuss: 1. You Need a CRO Pre-Product: Why does Chad believe that SaaS companies need a CRO pre-product? Should the founder not be the right person to create the sales playbook? What should the founder look for in their first CRO hire? Does any great CRO really want to go back to an early startup and do it again? 2. What Everyone Gets Wrong in Building Sales Teams: Why are most sales reps not performing? How long does it take for sales teams to ramp? How does this change with PLG and enterprise? What are the benchmarks of good vs great for average sales reps? How do founders and VCs most often hurt their sales teams and performance? 3. How to Build a Hiring Machine: What are the single biggest mistakes people make when hiring sales reps and teams? Are sales people money motivated? How to create comp plans that incentivise and align? Why does Chad believe that any sales rep that does not want to be in the office, is not putting their career and development first? Why is it harder than ever to recruit great sales leaders today? 4. Lessons from Scaling Sales at Snowflake: What are the single biggest lessons of what worked from scaling Snowflake's sales team? What did not work? What would he do differently with the team again? What did Snowflake teach Chad about success and culture and how they interplay together?

In this episode, she makes the case for astrology as "cosmic weather," a forecasting tool that's been studied and observed for centuries.We dive deep into why most people are reading their charts wrong and why your sun sign might not actually be your dominant energy. Jill explains what your South Node reveals about past life karma and the patterns you're here to break, and how to tell if you're meant for visible, public leadership versus private, inner healing work. We also explore the major planetary transits happening right now that are creating massive shifts in 2025-2026, why some people physically need beauty to function (yes, it's actually in your chart), and the real stories of children remembering past lives. Whether you're astrology-obsessed or completely skeptical, this episode offers a fresh, grounded perspective that might just change how you see yourself and your path forward.Jill Brown's Website:https://www.eightstarsastrology.com/Jill on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/eightstarsastrology/Connect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com

In 1908, a space rock the size of a small office building exploded above Siberia, flattening hundreds of square miles of forest. In 1975, several “fireballs” blazed across the night, and instruments on the Moon recorded several impacts. And 30 years later, scientists saw an impact on the Moon. These events might all be related to the Taurid meteor shower, which is underway now. The shower is created by two objects – a comet and an asteroid. They might be the remnants of a larger body that broke apart thousands of years ago. The debris might include larger rocks ranging from the size of boulders to mountains. The material is spaced across a long, wide path. Earth flies through this path twice a year. We sweep up some of the debris – mostly small bits of dust and rock. The amount of material varies from year to year, depending on which part of the stream we pass through. Right now, we’re in a thin region. In 1975, we passed through a denser part, producing more fireballs. It’s been suggested that when we pass through denser parts of the stream, we might encounter some of the bigger rocks, which could cause major damage if they hit us. Astronomers will be watching during the next crossings through dense regions, in the next decade. For now, the Taurids are at their best the next few nights. The Moon will wash out almost all the meteors. But a few fireballs might shine through. Script by Damond Benningfield

A star in the constellation Cetus brightens and fades dramatically every 11 months. At its brightest, it’s fairly easy to see. At its faintest, it’s visible only through a telescope. Because of that change, a 17th-century astronomer called the star Mira – from the Latin word for “wonderful.” The star changes because it pulses in and out like a beating heart. Mira’s in the final stages of its red-giant phase of life. Its core is no longer producing nuclear reactions. Instead, it’s fusing hydrogen and helium in thin shells around the core. Mira’s outer layers are puffed up by radiation from the shells. At the maximum, that inflates the star to about 400 times the diameter of the Sun. That’s also when its surface is coolest and faintest. As the outer layers cool, they fall inward, making the surface hotter and brighter. At minimum, the star is about 330 times the Sun’s diameter. Each time it puffs up, Mira loses a little of the gas at its surface. Within the next million years or so, it’s likely to expel all the gas in its outer layers. That will leave only its hot but dead core – a white dwarf. Astronomers have discovered thousands of stars like Mira. And many others will undergo the same phase, including the Sun – in about six billion years. Mira climbs into view in the east by 8:30 or 9. But it’s in the “fading” part of its cycle, so you need a telescope to see it. Script by Damond Benningfield

Algol does something amazing. Every 2.9 days, the star fades to just one-third of its usual brightness. In centuries past, the stars were thought to be unchanging. A star that changed so blatantly was a bit scary. So it was given a name to match: “Algol” comes from an Arabic phrase that means “head of the demon.” But the star’s odd behavior isn’t scary it all – Algol fades as the result of eclipses. The system consists of three stars. Two of them form a tight binary. The members of the binary orbit each other once every 2.9 days. We see the system edge-on, so the two stars eclipse each other. One star is much brighter than the other. When the fainter star crosses in front of it, the system fades dramatically. When the bright star covers up the faint one, though, the difference is tiny – much too subtle to see with the eye alone. Astronomers have cataloged hundreds of eclipsing binaries. And the eclipses are important. They reveal the relative sizes and masses of the two stars, details about their orbit, and more. So there’s nothing to fear from these up-and-down star systems. Algol is low in the northeast at nightfall, in Perseus. It should be at its brightest tonight. The faint part of its cycle will happen during daylight for the next few cycles. It’ll be visible during nighttime later in the month. Sometimes, a star can change brightness all on its own, and we’ll have more about that tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Venus doesn’t have any moons. But it does share its orbit around the Sun. Astronomers have discovered 20 asteroids known as “co-orbitals,” but there could be many more. These big space rocks follow roughly the same path as Venus. But they won’t stay in that lane forever. And when they leave it, they could threaten Earth. These objects are nudged along by the gravity of Venus and the Sun. They generally stay well ahead of or behind Venus. Only one follows exactly the same orbit as the planet. The others move in and out a bit, getting closer to the Sun, then moving farther away. Over the long term, though, their orbits aren’t stable, so they can break free and head elsewhere. A recent study found that of the 20 known objects, six could threaten Earth within the next 12,000 years. And three of them are especially dangerous. All three are at least a thousand feet in diameter, so they could cause major damage if they hit our planet. A study also found that there could be many more of these Venus groupies. They stay so close to the Sun in our sky that they’re hard to see through the solar glare. And they move quickly, making them even harder to find. But a new telescope in Chile might pick out some of them – helping us find potential threats far in advance. Look for Venus near the Moon in the dawn sky tomorrow. It’s the brilliant “morning star,” so you can’t miss it. Tomorrow: an autumn meteor shower. Script by Damond Benningfield
