This week, in Kibler, Arkansas, when a young man seemingly disappears into thin air, his wife heads to the police station, and gets a detective to help her look for him. They also disappear. This sends detectives scrambling into these vortex of missing people, only to discover 3 bodies, but not the original man that they were looking for. Eventually, 4 people are all found horribly murdered, by an obviously cold blooded killer. But will this killer find a way to escape being executed??   Along the way, we find out that it's getting easier to tell what kind of music a band plays, by just their name, that a tractor tire is a terrible place to hide 3 human bodies, and that some people may just be pure evil!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!

Welcome back to Astronomy Daily! In today's episode, Anna and Avery cover six of the biggest stories in space and astronomy for Friday June nineteenth, twenty twenty-six — from a salty surprise on a mysterious pink world to a little rover completing a marathon on Mars.   Story 1: JWST Reveals Salty Clouds on the 'Pink Planet' GJ504b Northwestern University astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to finally crack open the spectrum of GJ504b — the so-called 'Pink Planet' 57 light-years away. The discovery, published in The Astronomical Journal on June 18, reveals an atmosphere filled with exotic chemistry and salt clouds unlike anything previously observed. At just 550°F, it's the coldest planetary-mass companion ever directly imaged. Whether it's a giant planet or a brown dwarf remains an open question, but its salty skies are a first for astronomy. Study led by Aneesh Baburaj, Northwestern University's CIERA. Story 2: Astronomers Solve the Mystery of Black Holes' Delayed Radio 'Burps' Using the NSF's Very Large Array, a team led by Kate Alexander (University of Arizona) has found that roughly 40% of all tidal disruption events — moments when a supermassive black hole shreds a passing star — produce a powerful delayed radio burst months to years after the initial flare. The study, announced June 16, also identifies a chemical fingerprint in early optical spectra that can predict which black holes are likely to produce these late-stage outbursts, giving astronomers a roadmap for long-term monitoring. Story 3: SpaceX Launches NROL-179 — the 14th NRO Proliferated Architecture Mission SpaceX launched NROL-179 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in the early hours of June 19, making it the 14th mission dedicated to building out the National Reconnaissance Office's 'proliferated architecture' — a constellation of small, resilient surveillance satellites. It was the 71st Falcon 9 launch of 2026. Mission details including satellite count and orbit remain classified. Story 4: Astrobotic Unveils Griffin-1: NASA's Moon Base II Lander Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic publicly revealed its Griffin-1 lunar lander on June 15, ahead of environmental testing at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Designated 'Moon Base II' by NASA, Griffin-1 is a 650kg-capacity infrastructure-class lander targeting the lunar south pole region. It will carry 10 payloads from 6 nations, led by Astrolab's FLIP rover (500kg), and is scheduled to launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in Q4 2026. Astrobotic has been recently acquired by Voyager Technologies. Story 5: Lucy Reveals the Life Story of Double-Lobed Asteroid Donaldjohanson Results from NASA's Lucy spacecraft's April 2025 flyby of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson were published in Science on June 18. The study, led by Simone Marchi (Southwest Research Institute), reveals a contact binary with a surface over 40 million years old and a younger neck (under 20 million years) built by slow-motion landslides triggered as sunlight gradually braked the asteroid's rotation from a few hours to its current 252.6-hour period. Donaldjohanson is likely a fragment of the Erigone family's parent body, destroyed ~155 million years ago. Story 6: Perseverance Rover Completes a Marathon Distance on Mars NASA's Perseverance rover has driven more than 26.2 miles (42.2 km) on Mars since landing in Jezero Crater in February 2021 — completing a marathon distance. The rover continues science operations beyond the crater's western rim, studying some of the oldest rocks in the mission's history. Perseverance is approaching Opportunity's all-time distance record of 45.16 km for a rover on another world. Mission operations are funded through at least 2028.   Links & References • JWST Pink Planet (GJ504b): The Astronomical Journal, June 18 2026 — Northwestern University / CIERA • TDE Radio Burps: NSF VLA / University of Arizona — Kate Alexander et al., announced June 16 2026 • NROL-179: space.com / spaceflightnow.com — launched June 19 2026 • Griffin-1: astrobotic.com / spacenews.com / spaceflightnow.com — unveiled June 15 2026 • Lucy / Donaldjohanson: Science journal, June 18 2026 — Simone Marchi, Southwest Research Institute • Perseverance Marathon: space.com — June 18 2026Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

A new theory is challenging everything we know about Sagittarius A*, the supermassive object at the heart of our galaxy. For decades, physicists have been certain it's a black hole. They have observed its effects and even built a planet-sized telescope just to image it. But now, a mind-bending theory is turning our understanding upside down. What if Sagittarius A* isn't a black hole at all, but something far stranger?▀▀▀▀▀▀Start speaking a new language in 3 weeks with Babbel

Imagine staring at a black hole… and realizing it might actually be a doorway. Scientists now think some black holes could be wormholes — real portals through space and time. The craziest part? They look so much like black holes that we might have been seeing them for years without knowing it. If that's true, they could lead to faraway parts of the universe… or somewhere even stranger. In this video, we'll explore what that means, the science behind it, and the mind-bending possibilities it opens up. Get ready — space just got a whole lot weirder. Learn more about your ad choices.

Exquisitely detailed measurements of the ripples in spacetime from the mergers of black holes now show that some of these merging black holes were, themselves, created by an earlier black hole merging event. While this had been suspected to take place, we now have clear evidence of it. On a less dramatic scale but much closer to home, new simulations of the early solar system suggest the large population of moons of Uranus needed help from a now long lost fifth giant planet to survive.

We are kicking off a massive, year-long celebration! Starting today, May 25th, 2026, Father.Son.Galaxy. is counting down to the upcoming 50th anniversary of Star Wars. Over the next year, we are dedicating special episodes to exploring how a galaxy far, far away completely reshaped pop culture. In this premiere episode, Kerwin is joined by award-winning author John Kenneth Muir to discuss his book, "Science Fiction and Fantasy Films of the 1970s". Together, they explore the cinematic landscape prior to May 1977—an era dominated by dark, dystopian themes and cautionary tales like Logan's Run, Soylent Green, and The Omega Man. They also examine how the massive success of Star Wars shifted the industry, paving the way for a wave of late-1970s sci-fi and fantasy milestones, including Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Moonraker, Alien, and Disney's The Black Hole.

One of the major obstacles to understanding quantum mechanics is the difficulty we have in simply accepting what the theory itself is telling us. The problem is that we know what the everyday world looks like -- stuff, arranged in space, evolving through time. So we can't resist the temptation to impose that picture on the quantum description, even if it's not actually there. In this solo episode I talk about what it means to take quantum mechanics at face value, and the difficult work involved in understanding how the everyday world of our experience fits into the picture.

The Spin Chagrin, a concept that finds Frank having to watch a movie he's never seen before based on the random spin of a wheel filled with off-the-wall genres, continues into its fourth year. All the categories are quotables from Frank himself. In this episode, Frank's category was "All Crime and Bad BBQ." For this, he watched and reviewed the St. Louis-set SyFy movie The Black Hole, starring Judd Nelson and Kristy Swanson. They also talk about Daredevil and The Punisher on Disney+.

In this episode, I explore the cosmic metaphor of stars, planets, and black holes as three distinct ways humans experience the world. Drawing parallels from the Artemis II moon mission and the film Project Hail Mary, I discuss how these celestial bodies represent generating light (star mode), reflecting light (planet mode), and consuming light (black hole mode). Key insights include understanding that these are temporary states, not fixed identities, and that our interconnectedness, as described by the Buddhist concept of Indra's Net, means we are all part of a larger system. This understanding offers practical applications for navigating our relationships and inner experiences with greater compassion and skill, recognizing that even in difficult "black hole" states, change is inevitable and our awareness of these states is the first step toward skillful engagement.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

In the 1990s, scientists investigated MACHOs (Massive Compact Halo Objects), like dim stars or black holes, as dark matter candidates. However, extensive searches failed to find enough of them, reinforcing the particle-based WIMP theory. A major shift occurred in 1998 with the discovery that the universe's expansion is accelerating, a phenomenon attributed to Dark Energy. Current models suggest the universe is 68.5% Dark Energy, 26.6% Dark Matter, and only 4.9% baryonic matter. Dark energy behaves like Einstein's cosmological constant (lambda), an idea he once considered his "worst mistake" but which now seems necessary. Schilling uses an empty water bottle analogy to illustrate that the vast majority of the universe's composition—both dark matter and dark energy—remains a complete mystery despite our ability to measure its effects.

The continued failure to detect WIMPs has led to a "Dark Crisis" and more speculative theories. Some scientists suggest dark matter could be primordial black holes formed during the Big Bang, or "fuzzy" dark matter made of extremely light particles. Challenges also arise from "dragonfly galaxies" like Dragonfly 44, which appear to lack dark matter entirely, a problem for both CDM and MOND theories. Physicist Erik Verlinde proposes emergent gravity, where gravity is not a fundamental force but emerges from a deeper level of reality, potentially removing the need for dark matter. Some fresh thinking suggests that MOND and CDM might even work in concert. As the search continues through deep-mine experiments, the ISS, and massive telescopes in Chile, theorists remain at a frontier of trying to explain why 95% of the universe remains invisible.

No other podcast has this: https://economist.com/TOE Janna Levin — Claire Tow Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Barnard College, founding Director of Sciences at Pioneer Works, and co-host of Quanta's The Joy of Why — is one of those guests who makes you feel the universe is stranger than you feared. Working with Brian Greene, she's exploring whether the shape of hidden dimensions, specifically a Klein bottle, could explain why matter won the war against antimatter after the Big Bang — no fudged parameters required. The geometry does the work. The universe's lopsidedness isn't a mystery to be plugged in; it's a consequence of the space we're sewn into.

Juan Maldacena is a theoretical physicist at the Institute for Advanced Study whose 1997 paper remains the most cited in the history of theoretical physics. We cover: -why wormholes and quantum entanglement may be the same thing -what actually happens to information when you throw something into a black hole -the reason Hawking radiation accidentally gave cosmologists the equation that explains why the universe has structure -whether science-fiction wormholes are ruled out by the laws of physics -the one unsolved problem Juan says matters more than black holes. The most important problem in quantum gravity is understanding the beginning of the Big Bang — not black holes.

When I was in grade school, I opened a pack of bubblegum that had science facts inside. I never forgot reading that “a teaspoon of a black hole could weigh tons.” That idea stuck with me. Black holes were once just a strange idea on paper, but today we know they sit at the center of nearly every large galaxy, including our own. In this episode, we explore how something invisible can shape entire galaxies, and how scientists have managed to detect black holes without ever seeing them directly. Martin breaks down Einstein's ideas on gravity, how collapsing stars create black holes, and what it really means when one is millions of times the mass of our Sun. You'll also hear just how extreme these objects are, with densities so intense that a teaspoon of similar material could weigh billions of tons. From exploding stars to gravitational waves, this is a clear and fascinating look at one of the most mysterious forces in the universe.I hope you enjoy this,MartinCONTACT AND SUPPORT
