Podcasts about Chicxulub

Maxine Waters says the violence & destruction in the L.A. riots was confined to a few little spots. That's like telling the Dinosaurs the asteroid landed in Chicxulub, but the rest of you are fine. Maxine's not Ready for Rain. Are you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWD-x3GIUFA

In this thunderous episode of The Willie Jackerson Experiment, we dive headfirst into the cataclysmic timeline of Earth's mass extinctions—from the ancient Ordovician obliteration to the asteroid-fueled apocalypse that ended the dinosaurs. With riffs as heavy as the Chicxulub impact, Willie channels the sonic fury of shred legends Stevie T and the fantastical power metal of Angus McSix to sonically resurrect the five (and maybe six?) great die-offs in planetary history. Prepare for a history lesson that melts faces and ignites minds. It's science. It's metal. It's extinction—Willie Jackerson style.https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09olq4cpNbc6CRgDe5GzkA?si=6DWu0O-qSBC-TWU-KbLjog

What is a transiting brown dwarf, why are they so rare, and how do you find them? Equally important, how do you make a good French macaron? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome astronomer and astrophysicist Dr. Theron Carmichael. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: a recent paper in the Astrophysical Journal possibly linking a supernova that took place millions of years ago and bombarded Earth with cosmic rays and radioactive iron with a flurry of virus mutation that took place in deep ancient lakes on our planet. After Theron brings up the Chicxulub meteor impact (the one that spelled trouble for dinosaurs) and how astronomical events can affect the evolution of life here on Earth, we naturally turn to the effects of extreme radiation events and… the mighty Marvel mutants themselves, the X-Men! Then it's time to talk about Dr. Carmichael's bread and butter: detecting and categorizing transiting brown dwarfs, an exceedingly rare form of the “failed stars” which actually orbit other stars. Theron explains that while we know how stars and planets form, we don't exactly understand the formation of brown dwarfs, which exist in the gray region between a star and a planet. Allen reminds us how protoplanetary discs form, while Theron points out that the distinctions may not be as clear as we used to think. Our first student question comes from Ani, who asks, “There are a lot more small, faint stars than big bright stars. Does that mean there are a huge number of brown dwarfs in the galaxy?” Yes, according to Dr. Carmichael. And not only are there more of them, but Theron explains that they last longer, too. Finding them is challenging, but it's become easier thanks to TESS, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission that's been running for over 7 years, well past its operational lifespan. Our next student question comes from Josie, who asks, “Could there be life on brown dwarfs?” While brown dwarfs are colder than stars, they are still too hot to form and sustain the molecules we believe are necessary for life. And while those molecules are in fact present in the atmosphere of brown dwarfs – along with titanium oxide clouds – the pressure and temperature conditions of brown dwarfs make life as we know it unlikely. Theron explains that the atmospheric conditions of brown dwarfs are not dissimilar to Jupiter, as opposed to those on Jovian moons like Europa that we're going to explore when the Europa Clipper reaches its destination in 2030. After that, Theron tells us about the annual MIT Mystery Hunt, his long-time love of baking, and the astronomical value of macarons. (For his French macaron recipe, please visit our Patreon page.) Allen shares how he has made cookies conforming to the Einstein tile, and Charles mentions a few scientists who also love to bake. Theron explains how baking and brown dwarf research use the same parts of his brain. We even get to see a video clip of him making macarons! To end the show, Theron tells us about the international working group he helps lead focused on learning more about transiting brown dwarfs.

Listen to 102 Future Now Show We had a fun first hour of Dr. Future News, including an update on how we might actually build a warp drive for star travel, and the latest thinking of what would have happened on Earth should Chicxulub, the giant asteroid that extincted the dinosaurs, had never happened. Would we have evolved to dominate the planet as we have? Author/Investigator Brit EldersAnd this week we have an extended interview with Brit Elders, author, investigative documentarian, and CEO of www.ShirleyMacLaine.com. She has recently completed “Contact from the Pleiades, 45th Anniversary Edition,” in which the original two photo-journal volumes from 1979 are combined into one book with a new forward by Shirley MacLaine, a prologue written by journalist Jamie Maussan, and a new introduction and preface by Brit Elders. We cover the whole story arc of how she first got involved with the case with her husband Lee Elders and Col Wendell Stevens,  to the evolution and popularization and proliferation of Pleidian contact experiences over the last half century. A very delightful, and heart-centered conversation, Brit takes us on a journey that opens us all to a better future. Enjoy!

This week we talk about DART, extinction events, and asteroid 2024 YR4.We also discuss Bruce Willis, Theia, and the Moon.Recommended Book: Exadelic by Jon EvansTranscriptIn the 1998 action flick Armageddon, an asteroid the size of Texas is nudged into a collision course with earth by a comet, and NASA only notices it 18 days before impact.The agency recruits a veteran oil driller, played by Bruce Willis, to fly out to the asteroid and drill a hole in it, and to detonate a nuke in that hole, which should destroy it before it hits earth, which undetonated, that rock not broken up ahead of time, would wipe out everything on the planet. It's a fun late-90s flick loaded with some of the biggest names of the era, so I won't ruin it for you if you haven't seen it, but the crux of the plot is that there's a lot going on in space, and at some point there's a chance one of these big rocks hurling around in the void will line up just right with earth's orbit, and that rock—because of how fast things move in space—would hit with enough force to wipe out a whole lot of living things; perhaps all living things.This film's concept was predicated on historical events. Not the oilmen placing a nuke on a rogue asteroid, but the idea of an asteroid hitting earth and killing off pretty much everything.One theory as to how we got our Moon is that an object the size of Mars, called Theia, collided with Earth around 4.5 billion years ago. That collision, according to some versions of the so-called “giant impact hypothesis,” anyway, could have brought earth much of its water, as the constituent materials required for both water and carbon based life were seemingly most prevalent in the outer solar system back in those days, so this object would have slammed into early earth, created a disk of debris that combined that early earth's materials with outer solar system materials, and that disk would have then reformed into a larger body, earth, and a smaller body, the moon.In far more recent history, though still unthinkably ancient by the measure of a human lifespan, an asteroid thought to be somewhere between 6 and 9 miles, which is about 10 to 15 km in diameter hit off the coast of what is today Mexico, along the Yucatan Peninsula, killing about 70% of all species on earth.This is called the Chicxulub Event, and it's believed to be what killed the dinosaurs and all their peer species during that period, making way for, among other things, early mammals, and thus, eventually, humans.So that was an asteroid that, on the low end, was about as wide as Los Angeles. You can see why those in charge back in the 90s tapped Bruce Willis to help them handle an asteroid the size of Texas.Thankfully, most asteroid impacts aren't as substantial, though they can still cause a lot of damage.What's important to remember is that because these things are moving so fast, even though part of their material will be burnt up in the atmosphere, and even though they might not all be Texas-sized, they generate an absolutely boggling amount of energy upon impact.The exact amount of energy will vary based on all sorts of things, including the composition of the asteroid , the angle at which it hits, and where it hits; an oceanic impact will result in a whole lot of that energy just vaporizing water, for instance, while a land impact, which is less common because a little more than 70% of the planet is water, will result in more seismic consequences.That said, an asteroid that's about 100 meters in diameter, so about 328 feet, which is a lot smaller than the aforementioned 6 to 9 mile asteroid—a 100 meter, 328 foot object hitting earth can result in a force equivalent to tens of megatons of TNT, each megaton equaling a million tons, and for comparison, the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of WWII ranged from 15,000 to 21,000 tons of TNT, mere kilotons. So a 100 meter, 328 foot asteroid hitting earth could generate somewhere between a few hundred thousand and a few million atomic bombs' worth of energy.None of which would be particularly devastating on a planetary scale, in the sense that the ground beneath out feet would barely register such an impact. But the thin layer of habitable surface where most or all of the world's life exists, certainly does. And that's the other issue here, is that on top of even a relatively small asteroid being a city-killer, wiping out everyone and everything in a large area around where it strikes, it can also cause longer-term devastation by hurling a bunch of water and soil and detritus and dust and ash into the atmosphere, acting as a cloak around the planet, messing with agriculture, messing with growth patterns and other cycles for plants and animals; the water and heat cycles completely thrown off. All of which can cause other knock-on effects, like more severe storms in unusual places, periods of famine, and even conflict over scarcer resources.What I'd like to talk about today is a recently discovered asteroid that is being called a potential city-killer, and which is raising alarms in the planetary defense world because of its relatively high likelihood of hitting earth in 2032.—Asteroid 2024 YR4 is thought to be around 130-300 feet, which is about 40-90m in diameter, and it has what's called an Earth-crossing, or Apollo-type orbit. Asteroids with this type of orbit won't necessarily ever intersect with earth, and some are incredibly unlikely to ever do so. But some relatively few of them, that we're aware of, anyway, have orbits that periodically get really close to earth's, to the point that even a small tweak to their orbit, caused by gravitational perturbances or maybe being nudged by something else in space, could put them on course to cause a lot of damage.Global astronomical bodies keep tabs on these sorts of asteroids, and they keep an especially close eye on what are called PHAs, or potentially hazardous asteroids, because they are objects that are close-ish to Earth, are in orbits that could bring them even closer, perhaps even on an intersection path with earth at some point, and they have an absolute magnitude of 22 or brighter, which means they're big enough to be fairly visible to our instruments, and that generally means they'll be 500 feet or around 140m in diameter or larger, which puts them in the “will cause severe damage if it hits earth” category.That latter component of the definition is important, as while the Chelyabinsk meteor that blew up in what's called an air burst over southwestern Russia in 2013 caused a lot of damage—generating about 400-500 kilotonnes of TNT worth of energy, about 30-times the energy released by the atomic bomb that blew up Hiroshima, resulting in a shock wave that injured nearly 1,500 people sufficiently that they had to seek medical attention, alongside all the broken glass and thousands of damaged buildings caused by that shockwave (which in turn caused those injuries)—that meteor is considered to be pretty tame compared to what we would expect from a larger impact. It was only about 60 feet, around 18m in diameter.That's part of why asteroid 2024 YR4 is getting so much attention; it's more than twice, maybe as much as five times that large, and current orbital models suggest that on December 22, 2032, it has a small chance of hitting earth.Small is a relative term here, though, both in the sense that the exact likelihood figure keeps changing, and will continue to do so as we're able to capture more data leading up to that near-future deadline, and in the sense that even very small possibilities that a city-killer asteroid will hit earth is something that we should arguably be worried about, out of proportion to the smallness of the statistical likelihood.If you are told there's a 1% chance you'll die today, that means there's a 99% chance you won't, but that 1% chance is still really substantial in the context of living or not living.Similarly, a 1% chance of a large asteroid impacting earth is considered to be substantial because that means a 1% chance that a city could be completely wiped out, along with all the maybe millions of people living in it, all the plants an animals in the region, too, and we could see all those aforementioned weather effects, atmospheric issues, and so on, for a long time into the future.At the moment, as of the day I'm recording this, there's a 2.2% chance this asteroid will hit earth on that day, December 22, 2032. Its likely impact zone, if it were to hit, stretches roughly along the equator, from just south of Mexico, across upper south america and the middle of africa, over to eastern India. If it's on the larger side of current estimates, it's possible that its blast could stretch for 31 miles in all directions from where it hits, because it's a hard object the size of a large building traveling at around 38,000 miles per hour.So just shy of 7 years, 11 months from now, which is around 2,870 days, that thing could plow into a span of earth that contains quite a few major cities—but it could also hit a stretch of ocean, causing a separate set of problems, ranging from tsunamis to borked weather patterns and loads of sun-concealing, globe-spanning cloud cover.Again, though, the numbers here are weird because of the things they're describing. Nearly 8 years is a long time in many ways, but if you're staring down the barrel of a potentially city-killing asteroid, that begins to feel like not long at all; Bruce Willis only had 18 days, but he also lived in the world of Hollywood fantasy. In real life, spinning up that kind of mission takes a lot longer, and that's after you settle on who's going to pay for some kind of asteroid killing or deflecting program, how it's going to work, and so on.Fortunately for everyone involved, back in late-2022, NASA launched a project called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, which entailed launching a spacecraft that rendezvoused with pair of asteroids with a known trajectory. That spacecraft shot an impacter, basically a little space bullet, at one of the asteroids, which allowed the craft, along with a supplementary satellite, to collect all sorts of data about what happened to the asteroid after it was hit.The hope was that using this method, launching a craft that shoots space bullets at asteroids, we would be able to reduce the target asteroid's orbit by 73 seconds, which is an orbital measurement. Instead, it shortened it by 32 minutes, which is way, way more, and generally considered to be a huge success beyond what the mission planners could have hoped for.Not all of what was learned from the DART mission will be transferable to other possible missions, because asteroids have different compositions, have different spins and speeds, and some will be easier to hit than others, and to hit in a way that would move them beneficially: we want to move them away from a path that lines up with earth's orbit, not in such a way that a strike becomes more likely.But this success suggests that it may be possible to basically nudge asteroids away from a collision trajectory with our planet, rather than having to blow the things up with nukes, which would be a far more involved and dangerous undertaking.We've also seen the costs associated with space launches drop dramatically over the past ten years, to the point where launching this sort of mission will cost a fraction of what it would have cost back in the 90s, which is fortunate, as historically governments have shown less enthusiasm for firing space bullets than for firing bullets planet-side, so if worse comes to worse, there's a chance even a beneficent billionaire, maybe even a millionaire, could fund such a project in a pinch.At the moment, it's still overwhelmingly likely that asteroid 2024 YR4 will miss earth in 2032. A 2.2% chance of an impact is worrying, and we'll hopefully start building the infrastructure we need to deflect such objects sooner rather than later, as even if we don't end up using said craft this time around, it seems prudent to have those sorts of missions ready to go at a moment's notice, should we someday find ourselves in an Armageddon situation, with only a few weeks before something really, really bad happens.That said, even with today's quite high likelihood, that still means there's a 97.8% chance it won't be anything to worry about. We should know a fair bit more by April of this year, after which point this asteroid will be really far away and thus trickier to see until 2028, when it loops back in our direction.There would still be time to do something about it then, if warranted, but more time is typically better with this sort of thing—again, because we want to be sure any deflection attempt is successfully launched, but also that it deflects it away from us, not toward us. And our best bet to deflect would be during that 2028 close flyby, so it's likely by April, or just after that, we'll have some kind of decision by the folks in charge about whether to launch a deflection mission in 2028 or thereabouts.All of which would be historic, but would also probably be a good idea and a worthwhile investment, wherever this specific asteroid's path ends up taking it. As our space neighborhood is rich with these sorts of rocks and other astronomical bodies, and because, as our in-space sensory assets have become more numerous and sophisticated, we've been able to see just how lucky we are, that we haven't had more horrible impacts, so far; there's a lot of stuff flying around out there, and the moon probably helps by taking some of those bullets for us, but even with that extra layer of natural protection, we might want to play a more active role in managing our orbital neighborhood, soon, as it would be really embarrassing to have all this knowledge and these capacities, but to not be able to use them when we need them because we failed to plan ahead.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Earth-crossing_asteroidshttps://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/about/neo_groups.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteorhttps://x.com/Astro_Jonny/status/1886742128199336362https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_YR4https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/science/asteroid-yr4-2024-impact-odds.htmlhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/02/08/asteroid-hitting-earth-2032-nasa/78322607007/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophishttps://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/asteroids/2024-yr4/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/asteroid-2024-yr4-chance-hit-earth-what-to-know/https://blogs.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/2025/02/07/nasa-continues-to-monitor-orbit-of-near-earth-asteroid-2024-yr4/https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-confirms-dart-mission-impact-changed-asteroids-motion-in-space/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Asteroid_Redirection_Testhttps://science.nasa.gov/mission/dart/https://www.space.com/nasa-dart-mission-dimorphos-didymos-asteroid-impact-reshapinghttps://www.cnn.com/2024/02/27/world/nasa-dart-dimorphos-impact-scn/index.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDA_(international_space_cooperation)https://www.planetary.org/notable-asteroid-impacts-in-earths-historyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_water_on_Earthhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theia_(planet)https://science.nasa.gov/earth/deep-impact-and-the-mass-extinction-of-species-65-million-years-ago/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_craterhttps://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/books/barringer_crater_guidebook/chapter_11.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armageddon_(1998_film)https://www.history.com/news/7-major-asteroids-strikes-in-earths-historyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_eventhttps://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/non-proliferation/hiroshima-nagasaki-and-subsequent-weapons-testinhttps://www.astronomy.com/science/earths-greatest-hits-a-history-of-asteroid-impacts/ This is a public episode.

66 milioni di anni fa i dinosauri si estinsero a causa di un asteroide che si schiantò sulla Terra, nella penisola dello Yucatán: l'impatto cancellò il 75% delle specie viventi e provocò mega-tsunami con onde alte centinaia di metri. Ma come facciamo a sapere che la teoria del meteorite è vera? E cosa c'entrano la gola di Bottacaccione in Umbria e il cratere di Chicxulub in Messico? In questo episodio analizzeremo cosa è successo durante l'estinzione di massa del Cretaceo-Paleogene, vedremo perché i dinosauri si sono estinti e quando. Learn more about your ad choices.

Scientific results are consistent with the hypothesis that the dinosaur killing, K-T layer forming Chicxulub impactor came from well beyond Jupiter while the other 5 impactors in the past 541 million years as well as most meteorites found on Earth came from asteroids formed between Mars and Jupiter. All of this prompts us to marvel that we are here at all and puzzle over how to prepare for what the future might hold. In particular asteroid hunters should take seriously the possibility of an impactor from deep space with our number on it.

00:46 Old AIs can't learn new tricksAn algorithm that reactivates dormant ‘neurons' in deep learning based AIs could help them overcome their inability to learn new things and make future systems more flexible, research has shown. AIs based on deep learning struggle to learn how to tackle new tasks indefinitely, making them less adaptable to new situations. The reasons for this are unclear, but now a team has identified that ‘resetting' parts of the neural networks underlying these systems can allow deep learning methods to keep learning continually.Research Article: Dohare et al.News and Views: Switching between tasks can cause AI to lose the ability to learn08:55 Research HighlightsTo stop crocodiles eating poisonous toads researchers have been making them sick, and a sacrificed child in ancient Mexico was the progeny of closely related parents.Research Highlight: How to train your crocodileResearch Highlight: DNA of child sacrificed in ancient city reveals surprising parentage11:20 Briefing ChatHow video games gave people a mental health boost during the pandemic, and where the dinosaur-destroying Chicxulub asteroid formed.Nature News: PlayStation is good for you: video games improved mental health during COVIDNature News: Dinosaur-killing Chicxulub asteroid formed in Solar System's outer reachesSubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

In June this year there was the first detected occurrence of rabies in Cape fur seals, discovered after a rabies case in a dog that had been bitten by a seal. Professor Wanda Markotter, Director of the Centre for Viral Zoonoses at University of Pretoria, has been trying to work out how the virus spread into seals and how to keep people (and their pet dogs) safe. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a seismic “advisory” last week alerting local authorities and the public to a heightened risk of a massive, tsunami-generating earthquake on its southeast coast. Californian emergency manager and sociologist James Goltz, has been working with Japanese experts to evaluate a new dynamic alert system that they introduced after the great 2011 earthquake and tsunami which claimed up to 20,000 lives further north. We hear from Professor Alan Jamieson from the depths of the Tonga Trench. He recently dived into it to see what weird and wonderful creatures he'd find there – but when he reached the bottom, he didn't see what he expected...! And Steven Goderis of the Free University of Brussels tells us about the Chicxulub impactor - the massive asteroid smacked into Earth off the Mexican coast causing the mass extinction event which wiped out the dinosaurs. He's part of a paper in the journal Science, looking into the history of the impactor - revealing it was a rare carbonaceous asteroid from beyond Jupiter.

L'astéroïde qui a frappé la Terre il y a environ 66 millions d'années, marquant la fin du Crétacé et causant l'extinction massive des dinosaures, a également favorisé l'émergence et la diversification des plantes à fleurs, y compris les ancêtres des vignes produisant du raisin. Cet événement cataclysmique, connu sous le nom d'impact de Chicxulub, a entraîné des changements environnementaux drastiques qui ont remodelé les écosystèmes terrestres.Lorsque l'astéroïde a frappé la péninsule du Yucatán, il a libéré une énergie équivalente à des milliards de bombes atomiques, provoquant des incendies mondiaux, des tsunamis et un hiver nucléaire. Ces conditions ont anéanti environ 75 % des espèces vivantes, y compris les dinosaures non aviaires, et ont conduit à un effondrement des écosystèmes dominés par les grands reptiles.Cette extinction de masse a créé des niches écologiques vacantes, ouvrant la voie à une diversification rapide des espèces survivantes et à l'apparition de nouvelles formes de vie. Parmi ces survivants figuraient les plantes à fleurs (angiospermes), qui avaient commencé à se diversifier avant l'impact, mais dont la diversification s'est accélérée après. Les angiospermes, grâce à leurs fleurs et leurs fruits, étaient particulièrement aptes à coloniser les nouveaux environnements et à établir des relations mutualistes avec les insectes pollinisateurs et les animaux frugivores.Les vignes, dont le raisin est issu, font partie de cette grande famille des angiospermes. Les conditions post-impact ont favorisé la diversification de ces plantes, qui ont pu coloniser les nouveaux habitats ouverts par la disparition des dinosaures herbivores géants. Sans ces grands consommateurs, les plantes à fleurs ont pu prospérer, se diversifier et évoluer pour produire une variété de fruits adaptés à la dispersion par les nouveaux groupes d'animaux émergents, comme les mammifères et les oiseaux.Ainsi, l'extinction des dinosaures a indirectement favorisé l'évolution et la diversification des plantes à fleurs, y compris celles produisant des fruits comme le raisin. Ce phénomène illustre comment des événements cataclysmiques peuvent remodeler la vie sur Terre, ouvrant des opportunités pour de nouvelles formes de vie et influençant la biodiversité que nous connaissons aujourd'hui.

The Chicxulub crater (IPA: [t͡ʃikʃuˈluɓ] ⓘ cheek-shoo-LOOB) is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Its center is offshore, but the crater is named after the onshore community of Chicxulub Pueblo.[3] It was formed slightly over 66 million years ago when a large meteorite, about ten kilometers (six miles) in diameter, struck Earth. The crater is estimated to be 200 kilometers (120 miles) in diameter and 20 kilometers (12 miles) in depth. It is the second largest confirmed impact structure on Earth, and the only one whose peak ring is intact and directly accessible for scientific research.[4]

The Space, Astronomy & Science Podcast.SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 38*Witnessing the Final Stages of Planetary FormationFor the first time, astronomers have captured the end of the planetary formation process, observing the dispersal of gas from a young star's circumstellar disk. The James Webb Space Telescope has provided unprecedented images of the Tchar star system, where a vast gap in its disk suggests we're witnessing the final act in its planetary evolution. The study sheds light on the fate of gas giants and terrestrial planets, revealing the delicate dance of creation that shapes nascent solar systems.*The Devil's Comet: A Green Spectacle in the SkyComet 12P/Pons-Brooks, with its distinctive green hue and horned appearance, is making its first visit to the inner solar system in over 70 years. This Mount Everest-sized icy wanderer could grace our skies with its naked-eye visibility as it reaches perihelion this April. Nicknamed the 'Devil's Comet', its cryovolcanic nature promises a celestial show that won't return until 2095.*The Dust that Doomed DinosaursA new study proposes that fine dust particles from the Chicxulub asteroid impact contributed significantly to the mass extinction event that ended the reign of the non-avian dinosaurs. By blocking photosynthesis and plunging the Earth into a cold, dark winter, this fine dust may have been the final nail in the coffin for many species, reshaping life on our planet forever.For more SpaceTime and to support the show, visit our website at https://spacetimewithstuartgary.com where you can access our universal listen link, find show notes, and learn how to become a patron.Listen to SpaceTime on your favorite podcast app with our universal listen link: https://spacetimewithstuartgary.com/listen and access show links via https://linktr.ee/biteszHQSupport the show: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/supportFor more space and astronomy podcasts, visit our HQ at https://bitesz.com

LOOP 6.2: Dr Anjan Bhullar, Yale University, returns to speak further about dinosaurs. He's pressed on where he'd draw the line between dinosaur and bird, or whether there should even be a distinction between them at all. At what point does flight evolve and was it ‘ground up' or ‘tree down'? We find out that none of these questions are simple. Life On Our Planet (LOOP) is a new 8-part series created for Netflix by Silverback Films and Amblin Television. This Steven Spielberg produced series, narrated by Morgan Freeman, is hugely ambitious in its scope, telling the story of life throughout the whole Phanerozoic Eon. Ancient organisms and environments are painstakingly recreated by the supremely talented Industrial Light and Magic, whilst modern natural history scenes add vital context to the story. This show has been worked on for six years, during which time countless papers were read and around 150 different palaeontologists contributed their time and knowledge. The whole production had culture of letting the scientific rese arch dictate scenes, resulting in one of the most accurate on-screen representations of prehistoric life there has ever been. And how do we know all this? Well, our very own team members Tom Fletcher and Dave Marshall have been embedded within the LOOP team since day one! We are therefore in a totally unique position to reveal to you the work that went into this series, from both the production and research side of things. In this unofficial series, we've been granted exclusive access to many of the people responsible for creating LOOP, we explore what it takes to create a palaeontological documentary and we delve deeper into the science with some of the show's academic advisors. Each day, we will be releasing batches of interviews, each relating to a specific episode of LOOP. Image courtesy and copyright of Netflix.

LOOP 6.3: Documentary research takes you down a lot of unexpected avenues. If you're recreating something like the Chicxulub impact and the K-Pg mass extinction, then you need to be able to provide answers for things you didn't even know were questions. What colour was the asteroid? How bright was the flash? How long does it take to cook a Triceratops to death? Silverback Films researcher Edd Dyer returns to discuss the difficulties of finding such information.

LOOP 6.1: Dave and Tom introduce us to episode 6 of Life On Our Planet and the pair touch upon the Chicxulub impact and the radiation of birds into the Cenozoic. Dave curtails the introduction with one of his worst puns yet. Life On Our Planet (LOOP) is a new 8-part series created for Netflix by Silverback Films and Amblin Television. This Steven Spielberg produced series, narrated by Morgan Freeman, is hugely ambitious in its scope, telling the story of life throughout the whole Phanerozoic Eon. Ancient organisms and environments are painstakingly recreated by the supremely talented Industrial Light and Magic, whilst modern natural history scenes add vital context to the story. This show has been worked on for six years, during which time countless papers were read and around 150 different palaeontologists contributed their time and knowledge. The whole production had culture of letting the scientific rese arch dictate scenes, resulting in one of the most accurate on-screen representations of prehistoric life there has ever been.

Issue 21: September 2023This month we meet journalist, podcaster and filmmaker Ben Knight to chat about his documentary We're All Going to Die. The film is a "mostly funny" look into the realities of climate anxiety and the individuals and communities preparing for the world's ecological collapse. We discuss how he got into filmmaking, his view on "Preppers" pre and post documentary and what his own journey through climate anxiety has been like. Follow Ben @BenWernerKnight and the film at @wereallgoingto5 on Twitter or via the website. There will be another screening of the film at Podfest Berlin on Sunday, October 15, 2023.

It was believed the Coelacanth went extinct along with the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago when the Chicxulub impactor smashed into planet Earth…that was until Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, curator of the East London Museum, found one in a pile of fish on a dock in South Africa in 1938. This primordial fish shocked the scientific world when the first-ever living specimen was pulled up by Captain Hendrik Goosen while he was trawling for fish near the mouth of the Chalumna River. The Coelacanth was dubbed a “living fossil” though it was eventually discovered that it had continued to evolve over the last 400 million years. Come hear the story of how one determined scientist saved the world's first extant Coelacanth specimen, and what exactly makes this strange, ancient species so special. This episode originally aired two years ago. I hope you enjoy (again)!

Starting with a discussion about painfully reaching rock bottom and its role in addiction and recovery, Todd applies it to the dopamine drip of technology-driven tribal politics and how he and others wrongly assumed Donald was the tribal floor. (13:52) The Left's application of Newton's Third Law of Extremism: the Green Tea Party and how, with the media's deification of The Holy Counterfeiter, it mutated into an invasive Ideological Insurgency using scapegoats to aggressively attack American history, institutions, and core values. To colonize anywhere, you must first exterminate foundational myths and cohesive narratives, the established religion, in order to replace it with your own. There's a reason Latin America is Catholic, after all.   Also: The Sopranos as social anthropology What if there is no floor and rock bottom instead hits like Chicxulub?  In the failing era of Unity Via Division, selling unity knockoffs is a good dollar Can we just dispense with the infanitile "Let's Come Together" stuff?  No?

Have you ever wondered if you could have survived the eruption at Pompeii, escaped San Francisco's 1906 Earthquake, found a seat on Titanic's lifeboats, outrun the Goths in the Sack of Rome, or lived through the apocalyptic Chicxulub asteroid strike?Surprisingly, the answer to all those questions is yes, even the last one. Today's guest Cody Cassidy discusses the reasons that the past had an incredibly high mortality rate, along with survival strategies that humans used to keep from extinction. He is the author of “How to Survive History” and helps us appreciate the challenges our predecessors faced.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement

Why did dinosaurs go extinct? Did you know that there are over a hundred theories by secular scientists for why dinosaurs died out? Did an asteroid strike cause the extinction of dinosaurs? Why doesn't this theory work? How do biblical creationists explain the extinction of dinosaurs if dinosaurs and man once lived together? This episode features Dr Jonathan Sarfati and Joel Tay.

As if getting set on fire and tossed into space wasn't enough, new research finds evidence that after the Chicxulub impact, dinosaurs were also the victims of a massive global tsunami and worldwide earthquakes. Plus, the Milky Way's stellar graveyard, a new timeline for the Moon's formation, and this week in space history, we look back at the Meteosat program.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
