GALERIA DE SERES IMPOSIBLES (II): LA EXTRAÑA NIÑERA Durante toda su vida una mujer afirmó que en los años 40, en la región de Murcia su familia tuvo en su casa a una niñera enigmática que cuidó de ella y sus hermanos. Antonia la llamaban y decía hablar con entidades invisibles. Aquella extraña niñera adoraba a los niños con devoción casi sobrenatural. Sus ojos profundos, sus creencias sobre lo espiritual y el más allá, y su extraña despedida han dado pie a un misterio inquietante. ¿Quién fue realmente Antonia… y por qué nadie la pudo comprender? En este programa, dentro de la serie “Galería de seres imposibles”, vamos a hablar con Francisco Barrera, presidente de la S.I.B. Betelgeuse y colaborador de nuestro programa, que ha realizado una reciente investigación sobre este singular caso CUANDO CREARON UN FANTASMA La semana pasada os ofrecimos un programa monográfico dedicado los misterios de Teatro Apolo del Algar y en el mismo apuntábamos la teoría de que en dicho enclave se podría haber formado lo que en parapsicología se denomina “e-gregor”. Como han sido bastantes los mensajes que hemos recibido pidiendo información sobre ese tema, os vamos a ofrecer un informe sobre el denominado “Experimento Philip”, cuando en los años 70 y grupo de investigadores canadienses “crearon” un fantasma en laboratorio. ALERTA INTERESTELAR El pasado1 de julio de la NASA confirmaba la detección de un nuevo asteroide interestelar acercándose a la Tierra, se le dio la designación provisional A11pl3A, más sencillamente “3I/ATLAS”. En principio parece que no representa ningún peligro para nuestro planeta, ya que se espera que se no acerque significativamente a la Tierra. Las primeras estimaciones sugieren que podría tener entre 10 y 30 kilómetros de diámetro y desplazarse a una velocidad de aproximadamente 68 kilómetros por segundo. Por su trayectoria puede que provenga del disco delgado galáctico aunque aún es pronto para confirmar su origen exacto. Con nuestro asesor científico, Israel Ampuero, doctor en Bioquímica, vamos a revisar los datos que se tienen hasta al momento de este nuevo viajero interestelar. YA ESTÁ AQUÍ “LA GRAN NOCHE DE LOS OVNIS 2025” El próximo 25 de julio vamos a celebrar la XXXV edición de LA GRAN NOCHE DE LOS OVNIS, la tradicional Alerta OVNI del programa. Seguimos con los preparativos y esta noche os daremos los últimos detalles.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into the depths of cosmic mysteries and groundbreaking discoveries, including the enigmatic Long Period Transient and the stellar companion of Betelgeuse, alongside exciting findings from Mars.Unraveling the Long Period TransientAstronomers have uncovered a new cosmic phenomenon, ASCAP J1832-0911, which emits both radio and X-ray pulses every 44 minutes for just two minutes at a time. This first-ever detection of a Long Period Transient has left scientists puzzled about its nature and origins. Lead author Dr Andy Wang from Curtin University discusses the potential theories, including the possibility of a magnetar or a binary star system, while emphasizing the need for further observations to unravel this cosmic mystery.Betelgeuse's Stellar CompanionIn a remarkable discovery, astronomers have identified a stellar companion orbiting the red supergiant Betelgeuse. This pre-main sequence star, approximately one and a half times the mass of the Sun, resides within Betelgeuse's outer atmosphere. As Betelgeuse approaches the end of its life, this companion is also on a collision course with destiny, likely spiraling into Betelgeuse within the next 10,000 years. This finding could shed light on the periodic brightness changes observed in similar red supergiant stars.Mars Perseverance Rover's New DiscoveriesNASA's Perseverance Rover continues its exploration of Jezero Crater, uncovering unusual rock formations that may reveal significant geological history. The rover is investigating an intriguing contact area where clay-bearing units meet olivine-rich rocks, potentially preserving evidence of ancient intrusive processes.

Betelgeuse has a companion star, Vera Rubin discovered the third interstellar object accidentally, the first evidence of direct collapse supermassive black holes, and in Space Bites+ developing plans to help humanity deal with finding an extraterrestrial intelligence.

Have we found Betelgeuse's ‘Betelbuddy?' An astronomical mystery seems to be solved as the long-predicted stellar companion to the bright star Betelgeuse has been detected by a team of researchers led by Steve Howell of the NASA Ames Research Center using the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii. Steve discusses this breakthrough alongside astronomer Andrea Dupree of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who has discussed the predictions of this star on previous Science in Action programmes. Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the parasite plasmodium that kills more than half a million people each year. George Dimopoulos of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute is using gene editing and gene drive technology to target the parasites as they develop in the guts of mosquito. Can this new method disrupt the malaria parasite life cycle safely and sustainably? Our gut microbiomes are linked to our brains, but how can the bacteria in our colon communicate with our nervous system? M. Maya Kaelberer of the University of Arizona explains this neurobiotic sense, suggesting that the microbes in our large intestine communicate with specialised sensory cells in the gut. These cells send signals up to our brain and regulate our appetite. So, who really decides when you're hungry? Is it you, or is it your microbiome?

Betelgeuse revela su estrella compañera gracias a Gemini North, un hallazgo que cambiará nuestra mirada estelar Por Félix Riaño @LocutorcoBetelgeuse, el punto rojizo que marca el hombro de Orión, está a unos 650 años luz —aproximadamente 6,1 cuatrillones de kilómetros— de la Tierra. Hoy vamos a contar que no brilla sola: el telescopio Gemini North en Hawái captó, mediante imágenes rápidas de «tavelas» o speckle imaging, una diminuta estrella azul-blanca orbitando dentro de la atmósfera hinchada de la supergigante roja. La compañera es seis veces menos luminosa, posee una masa de 1,5 Soles y recorre una órbita de apenas 4 Unidades Astronómicas, unos 600 millones de kilómetros, distancia tan corta que cabría holgadamente dentro de la órbita de Júpiter. Este descubrimiento resuelve un enigma de siglos sobre las variaciones de brillo de Betelgeuse y plantea una nueva duda fascinante: ¿qué sucederá con esa pequeña estrella cuando el gigante rojo explote en una futura supernova visible a plena vista? Pero el pequeño vecino podría desaparecer mucho antes del estallido  La aventura empezó con un misterio de luz. Desde la Antigua Grecia, astrónomos aficionados notaron que Betelgeuse late: se oscurece y se ilumina en ciclos de 400 días y, aparte, en ciclos de casi seis años. Esa segunda cadencia despertó la sospecha de que algo orbitaba al gigante. Intentos anteriores con el Hubble y el observatorio de rayos X Chandra no dieron pistas. Entonces, Steve Howell y su equipo de la NASA decidieron usar Alopeke, un instrumento que toma miles de fotos de un cuarto de milisegundo y las combina para “congelar” las turbulencias del aire. Así apareció un puntito azul, tan tenue que muchos no lo habrían creído real de no ser por la nítida separación angular de apenas 0,05 segundos de arco, similar a distinguir dos fuegos artificiales separados por la anchura de una moneda vista a 40 kilómetros.   Ahora surge un problema apasionante. La compañera, batizada de forma provisional «Siwarha», viaja inmersa en las capas externas de Betelgeuse, hechas de gas caliente y polvo. Esa proximidad genera fricción estelar: el gas de la supergigante frena la órbita del astro menor, igual que el aire frena a un ciclista. Los cálculos indican que la órbita de Siwarha va a decaer y la estrella podría caer en espiral hasta quedar engullida en menos de diez mil años, un suspiro cósmico. Además, cada vuelta de esta bailarina estelar revuelve las capas del gigante, expulsando más polvo al espacio y dándonos falsas alarmas de supernova, como el Gran Atenuamiento de 2019 a 2020. Observar ese proceso es complicado porque el resplandor anaranjado de Betelgeuse satura detectores y tapa el brillo azulado de su vecina; solo técnicas de alta resolución permiten separar ambas luces sin deformar la imagen.   ¿Qué vamos a aprender después? Primero, los astrónomos planean vigilar la pareja hasta noviembre de 2027, cuando la órbita la aleje un poco más y facilite mediciones precisas de masa, temperatura y composición. Con esos datos vamos a refinar modelos de evolución estelar: Betelgeuse, con un radio de unos 487 millones de kilómetros —casi la distancia entre el Sol y el cinturón de asteroides— se encuentra en fase final de vida y terminará reventando en una supernova que iluminará nuestros cielos tanto como la Luna durante varios meses. Siwarha servirá como “termómetro” interno, midiendo la pérdida de masa del gigante y avisando de cambios bruscos. Además, el hallazgo abre la puerta a buscar compañeros en otras supergigantes, lo que podría explicar irregularidades luminosas en estrellas cercanas como Antares. Finalmente, cuando Betelgeuse explote, parte de su material va a caer sobre Siwarha, quizás formando un disco de gas brillante que, por unos años, adornará la constelación de Orión como un brazalete cósmico fácilmente visible con pequeños telescopios.   Betelgeuse es joven para su tamaño: apenas 10 millones de años frente a los 4 600 millones del Sol. Ese ritmo acelerado de vida se debe a su masa: unas 20 veces la solar. Cuando una estrella tan grande agota el hidrógeno central, se expande, enfría la superficie y adopta el tono rojizo característico. En 2019, su brillantez cayó un 40 %, dando pábulo a titulares sobre una “supernova inminente”. Más tarde, estudios con el Very Large Telescope mostraron un penacho de polvo expulsado desde su hemisferio sur, mezcla de cenizas estelares y silicatos. Casos parecidos ocurrieron con la supergigante VY Canis Majoris, lo que sugiere que estos eventos de “tos estelar” son habituales en gigantes en decadencia. La confirmación de Siwarha aclara la oscilación de seis años: cada vez que la compañera se adentra en las zonas más densas de la atmósfera, arrastra gas y lo expulsa como si agitara un velo de nubes. Gracias a este sistema doble, la próxima generación de telescopios —James Webb, ELT y el propio Gemini tras su actualización— va a probar modelos de hidrodinámica estelar en tiempo real, convirtiendo a Betelgeuse en el laboratorio natural más cercano para estudiar las últimas fases de las estrellas masivas.   Betelgeuse ya no es la solitaria del vecindario cósmico: su compañera Siwarha confirma teorías centenarias y nos brinda una oportunidad única para observar cómo un gigante rojo evoluciona con un aliado tan cercano.

Se han encontrado más de cinco mil PLANETAS alrededor de más de 3700 ESTRELLAS cercanas. En este videopódcast, Lauren Flor Torres, PhD en Astrofísica, divulgadora científica y profesora de Astronomía de la UdeA, nos cuenta historias de su trayectoria en la ciencia y cómo hoy estudia la luz de estrellas lejanas para explorar la atmósfera de los planetas que las orbitan. Cada estrella tiene características que la definen, como su color, que nos cuenta, entre otras cosas, qué tan caliente es. Por ejemplo, el blanco azulado de Sirio, la estrella más brillante del cielo nocturno, permite saber que es una estrella caliente y joven. En cambio, Betelgeuse, una gigante roja en la constelación de Orión, es fría y antigua. La doctora Flor Torres estudió Física en la Universidad del Valle. Quería hacer su trabajo de grado sobre meteoritos y el Servicio Geológico Colombiano le ofreció una extraña roca hallada por campesinos en Boyacá. Para su alegría, confirmó que venía del espacio. Hizo su maestría y doctorado en Astrofísica en la Universidad de Guanajuato, México. Además, es presidenta de Astroco, Comunidad Colombiana de Astronomía, y cofundadora de Chia, Colombianas Haciendo Investigación.

El último peldaño (20/06/2025) BENJAMÍN SOLARI PARRAVICINI: EL ÚLTIMO PROFETA. En el universo de los misterios y las visiones del futuro, hay nombres que resuenan con fuerza, y uno de ellos es el del pintor Benjamín Solari Parravicini. Este artista argentino, conocido como el 'Nostradamus de América', dejó cientos de "psicografías" proféticas que muchos consideran anticipaciones de grandes eventos históricos y globales. Desde avances tecnológicos hasta sucesos políticos y sociales, sus dibujos parecen revelar un destino marcado. ¿Coincidencia, intuición o un verdadero mensaje del más allá? Conectamos con Argentina para hablar con el periodista, escritor y productor de TV, Alejandro Agostinelli, para conocer la vida y obra de Benjamín Solari Parravicini. EL CASO DE LA MUJER EXTATERRESTRE Una mujer de apariencia enigmática. Un congreso de ovnis. Un murmullo entre los asistentes: ¿acaso no parecía venir de otro mundo? En 1954, Dolores Barrios se convirtió en el centro de una historia tan extraña que aún hoy genera debate. Su rostro, su actitud, su misterioso pasado… ¿Quién era realmente? ¿Y por qué su nombre sigue resonando entre los apasionados de los fenómenos inexplicables? Vamos a ofrecer un inquietante relato, que desafía la lógica y deja más preguntas que respuestas. Con el presidente de la Sociedad de Investigaciones Biofísicas “Betelgeuse” de Granada y veterano colaborador de nuestro programa, Francisco Barrera conocimos esta historia que se convirtió en mito de la ufología.

El Último Peldaño (13/06/2025) GARGOLARIUM, EL ENIGMA DE LAS GÁRGOLAS Desde las alturas, vigilantes y enigmáticas, las gárgolas han adornado iglesias, catedrales y edificios históricos durante siglos. Pero, ¿qué secretos esconden estas criaturas de piedra? ¿Son meros desagües ornamentales o hay algo más detrás de sus miradas petrificadas? Acompáñanos en este viaje a través del misterio, el arte y las leyendas que rodean a estos guardianes silenciosos de nuestra historia. Con José Luis González Munuera, Doctor en Bellas Artes y autor de la obra “Gargolarium” nos introduciremos en los enigmas de las figuras mas enigmáticas de los edificios históricos mas significativos: las gárgolas. EL PENTÁGONO Y LA TEORIA DE LA CONSPIRACIÓN Luces en el cielo, testimonios inexplicables, documentos clasificados… Durante décadas, los OVNIs han sido protagonistas de teorías, avistamientos y conspiraciones que desafían la lógica. ¿Ocultan los gobiernos información crucial? ¿Son realmente visitantes de otros mundos o simples ilusiones? Hoy las últimas noticias hablan de manipulación oficial para confundir a la opinión púbica, ya que el pasado 6 de junio, el periódico norteamericano “The Wall Street Journal” publicó una noticia en la que afirmó que “la desinformación del Pentágono alimentó la mitología OVNI en los EEUU”. Con el director del Departamento de Ufologia de la Sociedad de Investigaciones Biofísicas “Betelgeuse” de Granada, Antonio Salínas Cervi y nuestro colaborador David Ruiz Montilla, analizamos esta impactante noticia.

In this episode of The Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, we dive into the powerful and potent energy of Ardra Nakshatra, a lunar mansion known for storms, tears, and divine breakthroughs. Ardra sits in the constellation of Orion, near the brilliant stars Betelgeuse and Sirius, and is ruled by the fierce and sacred force of Rudra — the lord of storms and emotional release. Together, we explore the deep wisdom of this nakshatra, from the power of the mind as our greatest manifesting tool to the soul-cleansing cycles of grief, growth, and grace.

El último peldaño (06/06/2025) LA LEYENDA DE BERTA: LA CABEZA DE PIEDRA DE FLORENCIA Las leyendas de personas convertidas en piedra han cautivado la imaginación humana a lo largo de la historia. Desde la mirada petrificante de Medusa en la mitología griega, la bíblica mujer de Lot, convertida en estatua de sal, hasta la misteriosa “Cabeza de Berta” en Florencia, estas historias suelen estar cargadas de simbolismo en forma de relatos que, aunque distintos en contexto y origen, comparten el elemento de la transformación súbita e irreversible, evocando el miedo a lo sobrenatural y la fragilidad del destino humano. La Cabeza de Berta es una enigmática representación de una mujer cuyo rostro petrificado permanece incrustado en la arquitectura de la ciudad, envuelta en leyendas de castigo y destino.. Nuestro colaborador Juan Sánchez, nos trajo los detalles de esta curiosa leyenda enmarcada en la Florencia medieval. Pero no nos quedaremos ahí, daremos un salto a la ciudad eterna, donde en la romana “Isla Tiberina” encontramos un nexo con este misterio. CRÓNICA DE UN CONGRESO PARA LA HISTORIA El III Congreso Nacional de Historia y Misterio ha consolidado su posición como un referente en la divulgación de enigmas históricos y fenómenos inexplicables. Celebrado en el Teatro Geli Albaladejo, el evento reunió a cerca de 600 procedentes de diversos lugares de España. En las ponencias, la historiadora Ana María Vázquez exploró el misterio de las brujas y el psiquiatra José Cabrera abordó la relación entre la vida y el misterio. También se discutieron temas como las supersticiones, por parte del neuropsicólogo Ignacio Martín, los fantasmas de los niños, por el periodista Javier Pérez Campos, los personajes imposibles, a cargo del investigador Gonzalo Pérez Sarró y la ciencia detrás del miedo, por el tecnólogo Luis Uriarte. El congreso culminó con una mesa redonda sobre Casos y testimonios de fenómenos extraños, con la participación de testigos directos de sucesos inexplicables. La combinación de historia, ciencia y misterio dejó a los asistentes con nuevas perspectivas y muchas incógnitas por resolver. Con el presidente de la Sociedad de Investigaciones Biofísicas “Betelgeuse”, de Granada, Francisco Barrera, y colaborador del programa, hicimos una crónica de lo que dio de si este encuentro irrepetible. PRESENTACIÓN DE LA GRAN NOCHE DE LOS OVNIS 2025 Un año mas presentamos una nueva edición de “La Gran Noche de los OVNIs” de “El Último Peldaño”, que llega a su edición número XXXV, en la que volveremos a vigilar los cielos a la búsqueda de objetos voladores no identificados, en una noche cualquiera, como hiciera (y nosotros con él) Antonio José Alés, en el mítico programa “Medianoche” en la Cadena SER, el 14 de agosto de 1979.

ESA's Solar Orbiter camera probe begins raising its orbit towards the sun's poles, whilst Betelgeuse's elusive buddy continues to sneak past our best telescopes.Earlier this year, Solar Orbiter started to stretch its orbit over greater latitudes – effectively standing on cosmic tiptoes to catch a glimpse of the Sun's poles. This week, we have seen the first ever pictures of them, and as solar scientist Steph Yardley tells us, the views will only get better.Meanwhile, Andrea Dupree of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and colleagues have had time to study new Hubble and Chandra telescope observations of the iconic star Betelgeuse searching for signs of its hypothesised binary companion – dubbed “Betelbuddy”. The papers that appeared on the Arxiv pre-print server have not yet been fully peer-reviewed, but it seems astronomers will have to keep looking.Humans use machines to read gene sequences as best they can, but it takes time and is not perfect because we do not know what all of it means. Of course nature has its own genome reader – the ribosome. It is this that interprets the genetic instructions contained in our DNA and translates them into actual proteins. Viruses, of course, use it too when a cell gets infected. Shira Weingarten-Gabbay has this week demonstrated how scientists can make use of ribosomes too. Working somewhat in reverse, her team have identified many thousands of proteins previously unknown, that could for example provide targets for future vaccines or antivirals should the need arise.Finally, Nanshu Lu and team in the University of Texas at Austin have been working for some years on two-dimensional wearable electronic “E-Tattoos” to monitor health non-invasively through our skin. Their latest work, describes “A wireless forehead e-tattoo for mental workload estimation”.Presenter: Roland Pease Producer: Alex Mansfield Production co-ordinator: Jasmine Cerys GeorgePhoto Credit: ESA & NASA/Solar Orbiter/SPICE Team, M.

El último peldaño (24/05/2025) OVNIS EN LA URSS Durante la época de la Unión Soviética, los avistamientos de objetos voladores no identificados generaron una ola de misterio e incertidumbre. Documentos desclasificados revelan que, a pesar de los numerosos informes de ciudadanos y militares sobre fenómenos inexplicables en los cielos, las autoridades soviéticas impusieron un estricto control sobre la información. Se crearon expedientes secretos, algunos de los cuales vinculaban estos avistamientos con experimentos militares y tecnológicos avanzados. Sin embargo, con la caída de la URSS, comenzaron a salir a la luz testimonios y registros oficiales que mostraban un panorama sorprendente de investigaciones encubiertas. La obsesión por mantener el hermetismo alimentó teorías sobre contactos extraterrestres, espionaje y pruebas de aeronaves revolucionarias. La antropóloga y escritora Mercedes Pullman, vicepresidenta de la Sociedad Española de Antropología y Tradiciones Populares y directora de la revista Antropología y Tradiciones Populares, acaba de publicar el libro “OVNIS en la URSS”, ilustrado con creaciones artísticas de Javier Dominguez (Jadoga). Esta noche los tendremos a ambos para que nos hablen de los “No Identificados” en la antigua Unión Soviética. EL EXTRAÑO CASO DE LA “VIRGEN DE LAS LÁGRIMAS” DE GRANADA El 13 de mayo de 1982, Granada fue testigo de un acontecimiento que conmocionó a muchos creyentes: la imagen de la Virgen de las Lágrimas, ubicada en la basílica de San Juan de Dios, parecía llorar sangre. La noticia se propagó rápidamente, atrayendo a miles de personas al templo, hasta el punto de que la policía tuvo que cortar el tráfico en la zona2. Inicialmente considerado un milagro, el caso generó una gran expectación, pero tras una investigación oficial, la Iglesia concluyó que no había evidencia de intervención sobrenatural. La imagen fue retirada del culto y su paradero actual sigue siendo un misterio. Nuestro colaborador y presidente de la Sociedad de Investigaciones Biofísicas “Betelgeuse”, de Granada, Francisco Barrera, nos descubre los misterios del caso de la Virgen que lloró sangre en la Granada de comienzos de los años 80 del pasado siglo, y de enigma de su desaparición.

El último peldaño (02/05/2025) SEDE VACANTE: ¿EL CÓNCLAVE DEL ÚLTIMO PAPA? El mundo ha despedido a un líder que marcó una era en la Iglesia Católica. El Papa Francisco, el primer pontífice hispanoamericano, deja un legado donde abogó por la humildad, la justicia y el compromiso con los más vulnerables. Desde su histórica encíclica "Laudato Si", que puso el medioambiente en el centro del debate global, hasta su incansable lucha por los derechos de los emigrantes y los pobres, su pontificado estuvo lleno de momentos que desafiaron lo establecido y abrieron nuevas puertas para la Iglesia. Pero su muerte también reaviva una antigua profecía: la de San Malaquías, un arzobispo irlandés del siglo XII que, según algunos, predijo el número exacto de papas hasta el fin de los tiempos. Francisco ocuparía el puesto 112 en la lista, el último “Pedro el Romano”, quien, según la profecía, guiaría a la Iglesia en tiempos de tribulación. ¿Estamos ante el cumplimiento de esta visión? ¿Qué nos depara el futuro del Vaticano? El pasado 21 de abril, cuando el planeta se enteraba de la muerte del pontífice, “El último peldaño” estaba en Roma. La suerte (o el destino) nos permitió vivir esa jornada histórica en plena Plaza de San Pedro, en Vaticano. En este programa especial, analizaremos los hitos de su liderazgo, el impacto de su partida y el misterio que rodea su sucesión. Para ello contamos con Bernardo Pérez Andreo (Doctor en Teología y Filosofía, escritor, dirige el Departamento de Filosofía y Sociedad en el Instituto Teológico de Murcia. Asimismo, coordina el Máster y el Programa de Doctorado en Teología, fruto de la colaboración entre el instituto y la Universidad de Murcia); Carlos Alberto Iurchuk (Investigador, divulgador y director del canal argentino “Demonios”); José Ignacio Carmona (Escritor, investigador, conferenciante y experto en simbolismo) y Francisco Barrera (Investigador, Presidente de la S.I.B. “Betelgeuse” de Granada y colaborador del programa), con el que también hablamos brevemente sobre "grandes apagones y OVNIs" .

Up in Orion's shoulder sits Betelgeuse, a supergiant star near the end of its life. The surface of Betelgeuse has been roiling and pulsing for centuries, as long as humans have recorded its modulated luminosity. Dr. Jared Goldberg is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics in the Flatiron Institute in New York City. Dr. Golberg has been developing computer models for Betelgeuse to help understand and interpret its oscillations over time.

Our latest interview with Robert Edward Grant reveals a new discovery at the intersection of Metatron's Cube, the Vitruvian man, and the Last Supper Painting by Leonardo da Vinci. What does all of this mean for the ancient past and future of humanity? What encrypted messages were left behind to us from the polymaths that came before? We explore the significance of Orion in relation to time and space, the divine game of life or simulation, and the hidden messages within pyramids and ancient myths. In this podcast, we delve into the concept of miracles and synchronicity, emphasizing the importance recognizing the patterns around us. We further explore the nature of time, reality, and the call to authenticity, culminating in a powerful message about embracing one's divinity and the transformative power of love.Robert Edward Grant is the best-selling author of PHILOMATH, ‘POLYMATH' and ‘NEUROMINED'.

La estrella más deseada ahora mismo entre los aficionados a la astronomía se llama T Coronae Borealis. Es una estrella muy modesta, de apenas magnitud 11, así que sólo puede verse con telescopios bastante potentes. Pero T Coronae Borealis tiene algo que otras estrellas no tienen: currículum. En 1866 se iluminó de repente y pasó a tener magnitud 2, perfectamente visible a simple vista; al cabo de unas semanas perdió su brío y volvió a la oscuridad. En 1946 el mismo proceso ocurrió de nuevo, y la pregunta es: ahora que estamos cerca de 2026 ¿va a repetirse de nuevo el fenómeno? T Coronae Borealis es lo que en astronomía se conoce como una *nova*, una estrella que aumenta su brillo repentinamente para luego volver a apagarse. Es, de hecho, una nova *recurrente*, de las que esconden algún mecanismo que hace que se enciendan periódicamente. En el programa de hoy os explicamos cuál es ese mecanismo, pero también os advertimos que las novas no son mecanismos de relojería: unas pocas son bastante regulares, pero las demás se adelantan o se retrasan, a veces durante años. Os contamos también por qué en estas primeras semanas de 2025 ha habido bastante expectación con su posible "aparición" en el cielo. En el momento de publicar este capítulo, 26 de abril de 2025, la erupción todavía no ha ocurrido. En La Brújula ya os hablamos una vez sobre las novas, aunque en aquella ocasión eran las novas rojas, un fenómeno ligeramente diferente al de T Coronae Borealis. Fue en el episodio s06e22, y en aquellos momentos se predecía que la estrella doble KIC 9832227 se encendería en forma de nova roja en el año 2022. Esa predicción no se cumplió, y con el tiempo se descubrió que los datos iniciales eran erróneos. Actualmente no se cree que vaya a encenderse en los próximos años. Si os interesan los fenómenos estelares curiosos, en este programa os hemos mantenido informados de unos cuantos a lo largo de los años: en el capítulo s03e17 os hablamos de la supernova que se encendió en la galaxia M82, la más cercana en lo que llevamos de siglo XXI; en el episodio s09e18 os hablamos sobre el dramático oscurecimiento de Betelgeuse; y en el s07e20 os contamos en qué quedó aquella historia de que una estrella albergaba una megaestructura alienígena (spoiler: en que no la alberga). El episodio reciente en el que os hablamos de las enanas blancas es el s13e17. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 14 de abril de 2025.

Orion is packed with stars that are much bigger, brighter, and heavier than the Sun. But only one of them is likely to draw hisses from Harry Potter fans: Bellatrix. Its name comes from Latin, and means “female warrior.” The name was applied to one of Harry Potter’s nastiest foes – Bellatrix Lestrange. Regardless of its name, the star itself is impressive. It’s almost eight times the mass of the Sun, so it “burns” its nuclear fuel in a hurry. As a result, the surface of Bellatrix is tens of thousands of degrees hotter than the Sun. Combined with its great size, that makes the star thousands of times brighter than the Sun. Because of its high-speed reactions, Bellatrix won’t live very long. The star is about 25 million years old – just half of one percent the age of the Sun. Yet it will expire in a few million years. It’s probably not massive enough to explode as a supernova. Instead, it will expel its outer layers in a more gentle process. That will leave a small, hot, dense corpse – a feeble ending for a powerful star. Orion is in the west and southwest at nightfall. Look for its three-star belt, parallel to the horizon. The hunter’s brightest stars, Betelgeuse and Rigel, stand above and below the belt. Bellatrix is the next-brightest, to the upper right of the belt. It’s among the brightest stars in the night sky. Script by Damond Benningfield

Astronomers saw a rare type of supernova in the galaxy NGC 2891. Finding out what was so special about it and why is it a perfect example of why we need the Vera Rubin Telescope as soon as possible.

Sirius, Procyon, and Betelgeuse form a giant triangle in the southern sky known as the Winter Triangle. And like Orion's Belt, it can make for an excellent pointer and guidepost to the winter night sky.

Two bright orange stars pass high across the south this evening: Betelgeuse, at the shoulder of Orion the hunter; and Aldebaran, the eye of the bull, well to its upper right. An even redder star perches below Orion’s feet, although you need binoculars or a telescope to see it. Hind’s Crimson Star is one of the most remarkable stars in the galaxy. It pulses in and out like a beating heart. Each beat changes the star’s size by tens of millions of miles. The star is quite near the end of its life. It no longer produces nuclear reactions in its core, although it does produce them in a thin shell around the core. At a minimum, Hind’s Crimson Star is hundreds of times wider than the Sun. But the star is unstable. The energy from the shell around the core heats the star’s outer layers, causing them to puff up. As these layers expand, they cool, then fall inward again. Each cycle takes about 14 months. The surface of the star is so cool that it shines reddish orange. But that’s not the only reason for its color. A lot of carbon has been dredged from its interior and pulled to the surface. The carbon absorbs blue light, enhancing the red. Some of the carbon and other elements are being blown into space, forming a cloud of dust grains around the star. Eventually, the star’s outer layers will all blow away, leaving only its hot, dense core – a tiny stellar corpse known as a white dwarf. Script by Damond Benningfield

In Greek mythology, Orion and Scorpius were mortal enemies. So the gods placed them on opposite sides of the sky. When one is rising, the other is dropping from view. The constellations have a lot in common. And so do their best-known stars – Betelgeuse in Orion, and Antares in Scorpius. Both stars are red supergiants. Both are many times more massive than the Sun, and a hundred thousand or more times brighter. And each is destined to explode as a supernova – probably within the next million years. Betelgeuse and Antares also are hundreds of times wider than the Sun. So even though they’re hundreds of light-years away, they’re big enough for astronomers to see them as disks instead of just pinpoints of light. In fact, they’re among the first stars to have their size measured directly. Antares was measured 100 years ago. Astronomers used a special device attached to the 100-inch telescope at Mount Wilson in California – the largest telescope in the world at the time. It gave them a diameter of more than 400 times the size of the Sun. As technology has improved, astronomers have found that Antares is probably about 50 percent larger than that. So if Antares took the Sun’s place, it would engulf the four innermost planets – including Earth. Betelgeuse is in the east at nightfall. Antares is on the other side of the sky – low in the south-southeast at dawn. Tomorrow, it’s close to the lower left of the Moon. Script by Damond Benningfield

Astronomy Cast Ep. 740: Sneaky Stars! By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay Streamed live on Jan 13, 2025. Why stars can't be trusted! If you're an astronomer you depend on accurate observations of stars, but there's a problem. Stars are sneaky! Changing in size, brightness, color, they hide their chemistry, their age and even their companions from all but the cleverest observers. Stars explode precisely when they intend to.
