In 1996, a controversial claim of fossilized life in a Martian meteorite ignited a golden age of Mars exploration. Nearly 30 years later, a potential biosignature detected by the Perseverance rover at Jezero Crater has sparked…nothing, not even a formal effort to revive the beleaguered robotic Mars Sample Return project. Why did the claims surrounding the Allan Hills meteorite (which were ultimately rejected) kick off 25 years of unprecedented robotic exploration of the Red Planet? And why did the discovery at Cheyava Falls fail to ignite the same level of interest? Lou Friedman, former Executive Director of The Planetary Society and longtime proponent of Mars Sample Return, joins the show to contrast these to tipping points of Mars exploration, and argues why space scientists should seize this discovery to push for a scientific future at the Red Planet.

After 27 years, Melvyn Bragg has decided to step down from the In Our Time presenter's chair. With over a thousand episodes to choose from, he has selected just six that capture the huge range and depth of the subjects he and his experts have tackled. In this first pick, we hear Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the origins, science and mythology of the moon. Humans have been fascinated by our only known satellite since prehistory. In some cultures the Moon has been worshipped as a deity; in recent centuries there has been lively debate about its origins and physical characteristics. Although other planets in our solar system have moons ours is, relatively speaking, the largest, and is perhaps more accurately described as a 'twin planet'; the past, present and future of the Earth and the Moon are locked together. Only very recently has water been found on the Moon - a discovery which could prove to be invaluable if human colonisation of the Moon were ever to occur.Mankind first walked on the Moon in 1969, but it is debatable how important this huge political event was in developing our scientific knowledge. The advances of space science, including data from satellites and the moon landings, have given us some startling insights into the history of our own planet, but many intriguing questions remain unanswered.With:Paul Murdin Visiting Professor of Astronomy at Liverpool John Moores UniversityCarolin Crawford Gresham Professor of Astronomy at the University of CambridgeIan Crawford Reader in Planetary Science and Astrobiology at Birkbeck College, London.Producer: Natalia FernandezSpanning history, religion, culture, science and philosophy, In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 is essential listening for the intellectually curious. In each episode, host Melvyn Bragg and expert guests explore the characters, events and discoveries that have shaped our world.

From supernovae to massive black holes, the James Webb Telescope is playing a unique and profound role in transforming our understanding of astrophysics.
If we ever meet intelligent extraterrestrials, will we even be able to talk about physics? Physicist Daniel Whiteson of UC Irvine and cartoonist Andy Warner join Sarah Al-Ahmed to explore one of science’s strangest and most profound questions: if alien civilizations exist, would their understanding of the Universe look anything like ours? Their new book, “Do Aliens Speak Physics?”, discusses the nature of knowledge itself, asking whether math and physics are truly universal, or if even our most “objective” truths are shaped by our human perspective. Together, they consider what it would take to communicate with alien intelligence and how humor and illustration can make those big cosmic ideas feel surprisingly down-to-Earth. Then, stick around for What’s Up with Bruce Betts, as we discuss how difficult it is to explain physics to humans, let alone extraterrestrial life.

The moon cycle from new moon through full moon and back to new moon again was used by many nations to regulate their activities and forms the basis of the Islamic lunar calendar. A calendar based on the first visibility of the lunar crescent is difficult to predict in advance since this observation depends on the clarity of the atmosphere and other local conditions. The interesting observational problem of when it is possible to spot the new moon has been analyzed in the scientific literature as an aid to historians who are seeking to interpret the writings of ancient civilizations.

Relatively speaking.
Interstellar Comet 3I Atlas Update: An exciting update on the interstellar comet 3I Atlas reveals it is brightening much faster than anticipated as it approaches the Sun. With its distinct blue color, astronomers believe it is venting ancient frozen materials, offering a rare glimpse into the chemical composition of an object from another star system. Amateur astronomers can now spot this cosmic visitor with their telescopes!NASA vs. Celebrity Misinformation: A recent claim by Kim Kardashian questioning the authenticity of the 1969 Moon landing prompted NASA to respond publicly. Acting Administrator Sean Duffy reiterated the overwhelming evidence supporting the Moon landings, including lunar rocks and retroreflectors, and extended an invitation to Kardashian to witness the upcoming Artemis mission launch.Ancient White Dwarf Star Discovery: Astronomers have discovered a 3 billion-year-old white dwarf star that is still consuming the remains of its own planet, challenging existing models of stellar evolution. This unique observation suggests that planetary systems can remain active long after their stars have died, providing insights into the future of our own solar system.Debunking the Full Moon Effect: Investigating the long-held belief that the full Moon influences sleep and behavior, a neurologist found minimal evidence for its effects. While people may sleep about 20 minutes less during a full Moon due to increased brightness, claims linking lunar phases to erratic behavior are largely unfounded, attributed instead to psychological patterns of perception.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

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 July 2025. Today's 2 topics: - When Asteroid hunters discover a new object it is given a score ranging from 0 which means it is likely to be a distant main belt asteroid up to 100 which means that it is likely to come near to us. Each newly discovered asteroid which receives a score of 65 or greater is posted on the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object Confirmation Page so that telescopes around the world can track it to estimate it's size as well as to refine our knowledge of it's orbit around the Sun. - The energy required to lift water, food, and construction materials from the Earth's surface is very expensive. Asteroids come relatively close to Earth and could provide space colonists with metals, carbon, water, and the other important ingredients of modern life. Most space rocks like most terrestrial rocks may be pretty and interesting but they are not a practical source of the materials humans use and need.

* Guest Duane Bartley: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney Welcome Duane Bartley, (EE), Vice President of the Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship and an experienced engineer in the Utilities, Defense & Space industries. * Expert Opinion: Hear the story of how an errant "expert" opinion about peanut sensitivity found its way into pediatrician's advice about 25 years ago, and contributed to a dramatic rise in peanut allergies, (and how exposing kids to peanuts early on is now proven to be the better advice). * Keep RSR on the Air! It's Telethon Month! If you enjoy Real Science Radio WE NEED YOU to keep us on the air! Help us reach our $30,000.00 goal by purchasing Real Science Radio products, or become an insider and sponsor some shows! You can also mail your support in the form of an old school check, (preferably for $30,000.00 or more - or less : ) to RSR PO Box 583 Arvada, CO 80001. * Scientific Telephone: Duane explains how otherwise brilliant minds end up accepting ridiculous fables like evolution because they assume the other scientists who specialize in fields like evolutionary biology and geology are as smart and conscientious as they are. * Settled Science: Hear all about the missing links, the evolutionary miracles, "total upending" and "explosions" of life (and death) one must accept to assert that the world was not created by the God of the Bible. * Deception & Deceit: Many scientists who go along with evolution and other lies of "settled science" are simply deceived, and don't have a malevolent motivation. But we're reminded that even ignorance is sin, as is foolishness! And sin does harm, and even gets people killed whether it's intentionally malevolent or not. * God & Carbon Dating: Hear one of the better refutations of the lie your government school science teacher told you, (that carbon dating proves God doesn't exist). * Chasing Squirrels: Check out the Malabar GIANT - the official squirrel of Duane Bartley, our nominee to be the official mascot of Real Science Radio!
Taurid Resonance Swarm Alert: A new study highlights the potential threat posed by the Taurid Resonance Swarm, a dense cluster of celestial bodies within an annual meteor shower. Researchers emphasize the need for enhanced monitoring and planetary defense strategies, particularly during key years in 2032 and 2036 for targeted observations.China's Tiangong Space Station Milestone: China successfully launched its 10th crew to the Tiangong Space Station with the Shenzhou 21 mission. This mission features the youngest astronaut sent to space by China and includes 27 scientific experiments, including vital biological research on rodent mammals in microgravity.Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Test: Blue Origin completed a significant static fire test of its New Glenn rocket, preparing for its inaugural flight carrying NASA's Escapade mission to Mars. The mission aims to study Mars' magnetosphere and features a humorously named booster, "Never tell me the odds."Radical Mundanity and the Fermi Paradox: A new theory proposes the Radical Mundanity principle as a potential answer to the Fermi paradox. It suggests that technological civilizations may not progress to super-advanced states, leading to quieter, less detectable technosignatures than previously assumed.ESA's Space Safety Initiative: The European Space Agency is expanding its space safety program to address natural and man-made hazards. Key missions include Vigil for solar storm warnings, HERA for asteroid impact studies, and a focus on active debris cleanup with a zero debris approach for future satellites.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is the right message to send to the aliens? Keen listeners may be familiar with Cheap Astronomy's ongoing despair at Earth's lacklustre attempts at communication with the wider Universe. A few episodes back we ran through a history of deliberate communications to date, about 90 per cent of which have been music – well mostly digitized and some analog radio transmissions of music. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Can we drill through the ice and find life on Europa? Firstly, there are quite a few moons out there with suspected subsurface oceans – Ganymede and Calisto around Jupiter, Enceladus and Dione around Saturn – there's even a suspicion that Ceres, an asteroid rather than a moon, may have one. Everyone gets excited about Europa, because it's hot. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSVS2x-8eG4 Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay Streamed live on Oct 20, 2025. New instruments bring new mysteries, and when James Webb came on line it uncovered a collection of strange, compact, bright objects shifted deeply into the red end of the spectrum. These were dubbed “Little red dots” or LRDs. And the astronomical community continues to puzzle over what they are. When JWST first peered into the distant past, it discovered the early universe had a rash of little red dots. Their existence just 450 million years after the big bang meant either galaxies were forming way faster than anyone predicted, or something unimagined had been found.

Just when you thought it was all over.
Little red blobs from the beginning of time are baffling scientists. Are they stars, black holes, or something else? They were discovered recently when the James Webb Space Telescope looked back in time.
Episode Topic: The Dim and Deserted Places Arielle Phillips Ph.D., discusses her research into the "emptier spaces" and "dimmer objects" of the universe. She explains her approach of focusing on the emptier spaces between galaxies to uncover fundamental truths about the cosmos. Using her background in computational astrophysics, she models how galaxies move and evolve. Through a series of engaging examples and analogies, she helps the audience understand how astronomers collect and interpret information—from light to gravitational waves—to paint a more complete, dynamic picture of the universe.Featured Speakers:Arielle Phillips Ph.D., Associate Professor of the Practice in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Notre DameRead this episode's recap over on the University of Notre Dame's open online learning community platform, ThinkND: https://go.nd.edu/33fd34.This podcast is a part of the ThinkND Series titled Our Universe Revealed.Thanks for listening!

After NASA's recent milestone of over 6000 exoplanets tracked, Dean Regas has one big question. Is anyone living on them? On this episode, Dean chats with Dr. Malena Rice, a planetary astrophysicist and assistant professor in the Yale Department of Astronomy, to find out.
In this episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio we talk to Marco Guarino from Marc&Darnò. “From the Hills of Piedmont to the Stars”Marco Guarino lives and works in Asti, in a workshop that's also his home.There, he creates no ordinary watches, but mechanical masterpieces that bring the sun, moon, and time into harmony. What started as an evening course turned into a lifelong passion: watches and astronomy.Today, Marco builds complications the world has never seen before — from a moon phase module with an error margin of just 0.03 seconds to the world's first “Lunar Equation” in a wristwatch.His motto? “Never give up because you might be one step away from success.”His dream? To share his knowledge — and soon become a full member of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI).He is currently a Candidate and hopes to take the decisive step next year.If you want to discover how an idea born between stars and gears becomes a watch that pushes the limits of what's possible — tune in to this episode!*** Detailled table of contents below ***Marco is not that confident with English, but we are fortunate enough to have Elio on board, who actually is Italian.Elio is known as @the349designer and in the unlikely case you don't know him, he' got much experience with watches not only as a knowledgable collector, but also as someone who designed two breathtaking individual pieces all by himself; so Elio is the perfect choice on many levels to conduct this interview in Marcos native language. We have subsequently dubbed this with English voice-overs to make it available to a broader audience.

Obtaining accurate data on the Earth's climate and how it is changing is vital to inform agriculture , insurance risks, business planning, disaster preparedness, financial investments, wild fire mitigation, and national security. The USA should not be flying blind and relying on Europe and China for the data we need.
The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6vU3-LGrgM From Jul 11, 2016. Stars can spin faster or slower than the Sun. What's the fastest that's ever been discovered, and what's the fastest speed you can have before they tear themselves apart? Everything in the Universe is spinning. Spinning planets and their spinning moons orbit around spinning stars, which orbit spinning galaxies. It's spinning all the way down. Consider that fiery ball in the sky, the Sun. Like all stars, our Sun rotates on its axis. You can't tell because staring at the Sun long enough will permanently damage your eyeballs. Instead you can use a special purpose solar telescope to observe sunspots and other features on the surface of the Sun.

In this second installment of Planetary Radio’s coverage from the 2025 NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Symposium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, host Sarah Al-Ahmed highlights more of the technologies presented by the NIAC fellows. Mary Knapp of MIT Haystack Observatory shares her team’s Great Observatory for Long Wavelengths project, a space-based radio array designed to detect magnetic fields around distant exoplanets. Michael Hecht, also from MIT Haystack Observatory and principal investigator for the MOXIE experiment on NASA’s Perseverance rover, discusses Exploring Venus with Electrolysis, a concept that could turn Venus’s dense atmosphere into fuel for long-duration flight and exploration. Benjamin Hockman from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory introduces two projects: Gravity Poppers, tiny hopping probes that could map the interiors of asteroids and comets, and his team’s concept for a Venus balloon observatory. Finally, Justin Yim from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign presents LEAP, a legged robot designed to hop through the icy plumes of Saturn’s moon Enceladus in search of clues to its hidden ocean. Then stay tuned for What’s Up with Dr. Bruce Betts, chief scientist of The Planetary Society.

Those tricky next steps. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Could war get us into space? There's been a long-running dialogue here at Cheap Astronomy about what economic drivers might transform us into a proper spacefaring species with Moon bases, Mars bases and all that. And well, its been hard to think what economic drivers really might work. Space is hard and it's also darned expensive. Tourism could be a driver, after all there has been a bit of millionaire tourism happening, mostly just flights above the atmosphere. Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is new space? You may have heard people talk about – old space and new space. Old space is like NASA pouring billions into the slow plodding development of huge one-off projects like the Space Launch System and the James Webb Space Telescope where they operate with extreme risk aversion, absolutely determined that absolutely nothing must go wrong. New space is like Space X, where they quickly launch prototypes and when those prototypes blow up they have the data to explain why so the next ones don't have that flaw and if they blow up then they get rid of those flaws as well, and so on.

Astrophysicists may have spotted evidence for “dark stars,” an unusual type of star that could possibly have existed in the earliest days of the universe, in data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Instead of being powered by nuclear fusion as current stars are, the controversial theory says that these ancient dark stars would have formed by mixing a huge cloud of hydrogen and helium with a type of self-annihilating dark matter. Dark stars would not have been dark—researchers believe that if they existed, they would actually have been bigger and brighter than current stars.Astrophysicists Katherine Freese, who first proposed the idea of dark stars in 2007, and Cosmin Ilie, who detected the possible signs of the dark stars, join Host Ira Flatow to discuss the theory. Guests:Dr. Katherine Freese is a theoretical astrophysicist and a professor of physics at the University of Texas at Austin.Dr. Cosmin Ilie is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Colgate University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
