Were the Martian canals real? For decades, some of the world's most respected astronomers and newspapers answered with a resounding YES. But how did a simple misunderstanding spiral into a global belief in an advanced, dying civilization on the Red Planet? This episode unwraps the incredible story of the turn-of-the-century Martian craze, a period when fact and fiction blurred, and humanity collectively looked to the stars, convinced someone was looking back. We explore how this mania began, who its biggest champions were, and how the idea of intelligent Martians shaped science and culture forever.This deep dive into the history of our obsession with Mars is guided by acclaimed author David Baron, whose book "The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze That Captured Turn-of-the-Century America" chronicles this fascinating era. We begin with the story's surprising European origins, specifically with Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli and his 1877 observations of "canali" on the Martian surface. A critical mistranslation of Giovanni Schiaparelli canali (Italian for "channels") into "canals" in English ignited the public imagination with the possibility of artificial structures. This idea was popularized by French astronomer and author Camille Flammarion, but it was an American who would become the theory's most fervent and influential advocate: Percival Lowell.Born into a wealthy Boston family, Percival Lowell dedicated his fortune and his life to proving the existence of an intelligent Martian race. We detail the astonishingly complex Percival Lowell Mars theory, which proposed that Mars was an old, drying planet and its inhabitants had built a planet-wide irrigation system—the Martian canals—to channel water from the polar ice caps to their desert cities. To prove it, Lowell founded the iconic Lowell Observatory in Arizona and even funded a massive expedition to Chile to capture the first-ever photographs of the canals, which he presented as undeniable proof. This led to a major rift in the scientific community, dividing astronomers into "canalists" and "anti-canalists."The belief in Martians wasn't just confined to scientific circles; it exploded into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. We discuss the immense impact of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds, a "scientific romance" that terrified and thrilled readers. Baron reveals how American newspapers, in a bout of Yellow Press sensationalism, pirated and serialized the story, localizing the invasion to New York and Boston and presenting it almost as a news report—a tactic Orson Welles would later famously use for his 1938 radio broadcast. The fervor grew so intense that in 1924, the U.S. military was convinced to enforce national radio silence to listen for signals from the Red Planet. So, what was the final nail in the coffin for the Martian canals? Baron explains how astronomer Eugène Michel Antoniadi's crystal-clear observations in 1909 and, ultimately, NASA's Mariner 4 spacecraft flyby in the 1960s, finally disproved the theory, revealing a cratered, lifeless landscape where canals were once drawn. This entire episode serves as a powerful look into the turn-of-the-century Martian craze and how it left an indelible mark on science fiction, inspiring figures like Robert H. Goddard and Carl Sagan and shaping our dreams of outer space to this day.About Our Guest:David Baron is an author and science journalist who specializes in telling gripping historical tales about the history of astronomy. He is the author of the new book, "The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze That Captured Turn-of-the-Century America," as well as the award-winning "American Eclipse," which is being adapted into a Broadway musical.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction: The Martian Saga(03:01) The 1906 New York Times Headline: "There is Life on Mars"(04:47) European Origins: Schiaparelli, Flammarion, and the "Canali" Mistranslation(09:09) Percival Lowell: The American Champion of the Martian Cause(14:52) The Great Debate: Canalists vs. Anti-Canalists(19:26) The Hunt for Proof: Lowell's Astrophotography and The Chilean Expedition(23:26) Percival Lowell's Grand Theory of Martian Civilization(26:54) H.G.

That Anxiety Guy - Straight Talk And Help With Anxiety, Panic and Agoraphobia
Send in a question or comment via text.For 25 years of my life, I struggled with panic disorder, agoraphobia, OCD, and depression. I was so anxious that I couldn't leave my house or be alone for more than a few minutes at a time. But last week, I finally did something I've wanted to do since I was 9 years old.In this episode, I share a personal story - not as a blueprint for your recovery, but as encouragement that anxiety recovery is possible. When I was in elementary school, a trip to the planetarium showed me what the night sky really looks like without light pollution. For decades, I dreamed of seeing that sky for real, but anxiety, fear, and often just being "too busy" (this is dumb) kept from doing that.Last week, I drove seven hours from Long Island to an international dark sky site in Pennsylvania. For someone who once couldn't drive 60 seconds without having a panic attack, this was significant. I went into the middle of nowhere, with no cell phone service, to finally see what I'd been dreaming about since childhood.This episode explores what anxiety recovery actually looks like - not learning that you're "okay," but learning you never needed to ask that if you're OK in the first place.If you're struggling right now and feel like you'll never get better, I want you to know that I felt the same way - and I was wrong. People do get better from anxiety disorders. Maybe you just need to hear a story like this one today. So here it is. I hope it helps.Resources mentioned:Free book "An Anxiety Story" available:https://theanxioustruth.com/an-anxiety-story/YouTube version with photos and video footagehttps://youtu.be/ALxOy-7XRusThe Disordered Podcast (co-hosted weekly show)https://disordered.fmThe Anxious Truth is a podcast focused on evidence-based anxiety recovery using acceptance and mindfulness-based approaches.

Cosmic Curiosities: Exploring Neutron Stars and Gravitational WavesIn this engaging episode of Space Nuts, hosts Heidi Campo and Professor Fred Watson embark on a fascinating journey through listener questions that probe the depths of astrophysics and cosmology. From the nature of neutron stars to the mysteries of gravitational waves, this episode is brimming with insights that will expand your understanding of the universe.Episode Highlights:- Neutron Stars vs. Pulsars: The episode opens with a thought-provoking question from Dean in Washington, D.C., asking whether all neutron stars are pulsars. Fred clarifies the distinction between these celestial objects, explaining that not all neutron stars emit pulsations, with many having “retired” from their energetic displays.- Gravitational Waves and Mass Conversion: New listener Ben dives into the complexities of merging neutron stars and the resulting gravitational waves. Fred explores the intricate relationship between mass and energy, shedding light on how these cosmic events contribute to our understanding of the universe's fabric.- Galactic Mysteries and the Big Bang: Craig from Marimbula raises intriguing questions about the implications of massive galaxies observed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Fred discusses how these findings fit into current cosmological models and the significance of the Big Bang theory in understanding the universe's age.- Meteors on Mars: Listener Martin from Bloomington, Indiana, wonders about the appearance of meteors on Mars compared to Earth. Fred explains how the thin Martian atmosphere affects meteor visibility and the likelihood of impacts, offering insights into the unique conditions on the Red Planet.For more Space Nuts, including our continuously updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, visit our website.

To take advantage of our special 60% off offer for the Space Nuts family, simply visit www.incogni.com/spacenutsSpace Nuts Episode 498: Reflections in Space, Holographic Theories, and Liquid PlanetsJoin Andrew Dunkley and Professor Jonti Horner in this engaging Q&A edition of Space Nuts, where they tackle some of the most thought-provoking questions from our listeners. From the possibility of seeing our own reflection in space to the intriguing theory of a holographic universe, and the concept of entirely liquid exoplanets, this episode is packed with fascinating insights that will expand your understanding of the cosmos.Episode Highlights:- Seeing Our Reflection in Space: Tony's question sparks a discussion on the challenges of capturing a reflected image of the Milky Way galaxy. Jonti explains the complexities of gravitational lensing and how light behaves in the presence of massive objects, revealing why a clear reflection is beyond reach.- The Holographic Universe: Charles asks about the theory that suggests we might live in a holographic universe. Andrew and Jonti delve into the philosophical implications of this theory, touching on string theory and the nature of reality, while pondering the boundaries between science and philosophy.- Black Holes and Light: David's inquiry leads to an exploration of light's behavior around black holes. The duo discusses whether a black hole can accelerate light beyond its speed, clarifying the fundamental principles of light speed and gravitational effects.- Liquid Exoplanets: Duncan raises the intriguing possibility of an entirely liquid exoplanet.

After a career change in 2008, Tom began capturing stunning images of galaxies, nebulae, and solar eclipses from around the world. One highlight is ‘The Rho Ophiuchi Nebula,' photographed over 25 nights in Spain.Tom joins Seán to discuss more.
In this episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, I chat with Justin Anderson, astrophotographer who captures the night sky with breathtaking mastery. Justin shares his journey of photographing Comet NEOWISE and other celestial wonders, emphasizing the importance of preparation, persistence, and creativity. Today you'll learn how to set up your camera for night photography, choose the right equipment, and find the perfect locations to shoot. You'll also learn the art of scouting dark skies, experimenting with different lenses, and appreciating the beauty of your surroundings. THE BIG IDEASPersist Through Challenges: Consistently work on improving your skills, even when conditions don't align. Persistence is key in mastering night photography.Embrace the Learning Curve: Night photography comes with a steep learning curve. Accept mistakes as part of the journey towards stunning captures.Plan and Prepare: Success in astrophotography requires meticulous planning, from checking the weather to selecting remote locations away from light pollution.PHOTOGRAPHY ACTION PLANScout Dark Locations: Use dark sky maps to identify potential shooting spots away from city lights. Visit these locations during the day to plan your composition and safety measures.Optimize Camera Settings: Set your camera to manual mode, adjusting ISO, aperture, and shutter speed according to the lighting conditions. Practice taking long exposures to capture more light and detail in the night sky.Experiment with Lenses: Try using wide-angle lenses (e.g., 24mm) to capture expansive landscapes along with the night sky. Test prime lenses with apertures wider than F2.8 for better light capture and reduced noise.Use Proper Accessories: Equip your camera with a remote shutter and intervalometer to avoid camera shake and take multiple long exposures. Bring a sturdy tripod to keep your camera stable during long exposure shots.RESOURCESFollow Justin on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aurorajanderson/Check out Justins Website - https://highhopesaurora.com/Download your free copy of46 Creative Photo Ideas to Get You Out of a Rutat https://creativeimageideas.com/ Transform your Love for Photography into Profit for FREE with CloudSpot Studio.And get my Wedding and Portrait Contract and Questionnaires, at no cost!Sign up now at http://deliverphotos.com/Connect with the Beginner Photography Podcast!
