The mystery of Tabby's star began to unfold when in 2015 Dr. Tabetha S. Boyajian [boy-AA-jee-uhn] of Louisiana State University and her team published a paper describing the irregular dips in the light output of what otherwise would seem to be a garden variety star over the period 2009 to 2013. Subsequently a list of proposed explanations include swarms of comets, large asteroids, a debris disk, and even a massive alien megastructure.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From September 2024. Today's 2 topics: - Protection against a comet strike is worth considering. Every year, if we are lucky, several comets can come close enough for the Sun to warm and us to see the beautiful changing dust and gas clouds around them with binoculars or our unaided eyes. So far asteroids have gotten most of the attention as dangerous celestial neighbors, however, Dr. Joseph Nuth, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland recently pointed out "Comets can also deliver a heaping helping of calamity to Earth, and scientists and policymakers alike should start taking measures to combat the threat".   - Collect your own beautiful micro-meteorite sample.  It is estimated that several hundred thousand pounds of left over particles from the formation of our solar system enters the Earth's atmosphere every day with perhaps 10% of the of the total reaching the surface of our home planet. The individual grains of cosmic dust or micro-meteorites as they are also called range in size from the diameter of a human hair to twice the thickness of a dime.   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!

Data are consistent with the hypothesis that the planet K2-18b is a Hycean planet with a warm liquid water ocean teaming with life and a thin hydrogen rich atmosphere containing methane and other molecules containing carbon. Scientists in an opposing camp point out what we might be observing is a rocky world with a hot life killing atmosphere.

The film writer Meg Shields returns to the podcast from Vancouver for a show to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Tobe Hooper's schlock sci-fi horror masterpiece, Lifeforce.Cannon Films' big swing for the fences, Lifeforce had an astronomical budget for the time, with huge practical sets, hundreds of extras and innovative special effects from the great John Dykstra including massive miniature work and cutting-edge optical effects, all in the service of a bonkers tribute to Hammer horror. The runaway production was a cocaine-and-Dr Pepper-fueled vision of naked space vampires hiding in Halley's Comet (led by the beautiful Mathilda May) who arrive on Earth and unleash havoc on the city of London.We discuss 1955's The Quatermass Xperiment and 1967's Quatermass and The Pit, huge influences on John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper, before diving into the madness of Lifeforce, rejected by audiences in 1985 and setting off the eventual collapse of Cannon Films. We also compare the two cuts of the movie (as the American distributor Tri-Star changed the title from Space Vampires and shortened their version by 10 minutes against the director's will) and how this crazy movie has stood the test of time to become a cult favourite.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

When we find a planet which appears to have the chemical signs of living organisms in its atmosphere, the desire to take a close up look at it will be hard to contain. In a Scientific American article, Lee Billings describes Yuri Milner's 100 million dollar project "Breakthrough Starshot" which has been created to leap frog our current rocket technology's extremely long travel times to nearby planets. The plan is to put ultra light space probes on paths which will enable them to collect data as they streak by nearby potentially habitable planets. Our current iPhone technology is being used to envision a tiny robotic space probe which features cameras, life detecting sensors, maneuvering rockets, computers, and communications gear and yet has a mass of about that of a dime. Photons from 100 gigawatt pulses from a ground based laser array are then envisioned to reflect off the tiny spacecrafts solar sail where they transfer momentum to the space craft accelerating it to 20% of the speed of light. Numbers of these tiny robotic investigators could be launched together into Earth orbit and perhaps one a day could be sent towards a nearby star accelerated by laser pulses each of which contains the energy required to send a space shuttle into orbit. In a few decades closeup views and data from nearby worlds would begin streaming back towards the residents of our planet. The cost of investigating our planetary life hosting neighbors is likely to be less than what the US is planning to spend upgrading its nuclear weapons.

On June 6th, 2025, the Wall Street Journal released an article titled The Pentagon Disinformation That Fueled America's UFO Mythology: U.S. military fabricated evidence of alien technology and allowed rumors to fester to cover up real secret-weapons programs. On June 11th, 2025, the New York Post followed that article up with an eerily similar video titled BOMBSHELL: Pentagon created fake UFO evidence, promoted false alien stories.Links:

The good news is a Mars landing by human colonists and their equipment seems technically feasible given a large budget of cash and grit.

Recently Dr. Yossi Shvartzvald led a team which published their discovery of an Earth sized planet using microlensing in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. The newly discovered planet OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb orbits a small dim object about 13,000 light years from us. With only 7.8% of the Sun's mass the new planet's star may be a brown dwarf and not a star at all. At about the same distance from its star as we are from the Sun this new planet is likely to be an ice ball world colder than Pluto.

In a recent paper published in Nature Astronomy entitled “Surveys of the scientific community on the existence of extraterrestrial life”  Dr. Peter Vickers and his team of 10 co-authors report the results  of their survey of the lead authors for the past 10 years in the top three astro-biological journals.  These researchers sought to measure if their sample group of scientists thought it likely that 1) simple life,  and/or 2 ) life more complex than terrestrial bacteria, and/or 3) Intelligent life comparable or superior to human beings exists outside of Earth.

En esta segunda parte, continuamos con las historias de tres hombres inocentes que cumplen condenas de 60 años por delitos que nunca cometieron. Víctor, Pablo y Santiago nos relatan cómo fueron víctimas de un sistema corrupto que fabricó carpetas de investigación para encubrir los verdaderos culpables.A través de testimonios, descubrimos un caso de supuesto secuestro donde la evidencia apunta a sobornos policiales, montajes judiciales y la compra de libertades por parte de los verdaderos criminales. Estos hombres, arrestados en lugares diferentes sin conocerse entre sí, coincidieron misteriosamente en el Ministerio Público acusados del mismo delito.La conversación revela la difícil realidad del sistema penitenciario mexicano, donde la corrupción permite que los culpables paguen por su libertad mientras los inocentes purgan décadas de prisión.Santiago comparte su lucha contra pensamientos suicidas, su fe renovada y cómo sus nietos se convirtieron en su razón de vivir.Un episodio que expone las fallas estructurales de la justicia mexicana y la resistencia humana ante la adversidad más cruel.Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

When I discovered 2014 JO25 with the NASA funded Catalina Sky Survey's 60 inch telescope on May 5, 2014, it appeared as a single point of light as it moved past us. As 2014 JO25 approached the Earth from the direction of the Sun in 2017, no-one had any idea that it is really a double asteroid system nearly a mile in diameter.

Épisode 31 : Contraception masculine : pourquoi tout le monde s'en fout ?On a longtemps dit que la contraception, c'était une affaire de femmes. Un fardeau "naturel", hérité sans qu'on le questionne. Pilules, stérilets, implants, effets secondaires, rendez-vous médicaux… et silence du côté des hommes.Mais si on renversait un peu la table ?Si on ouvrait l'espace pour parler de charge contraceptive, de responsabilité partagée, et des tabous qui entourent la contraception masculine ?C'est ce que l'on a voulu faire en discutant avec Nat. Dans cet épisode de Basium, on s'interroge :Pourquoi est-ce encore si peu connu, si peu proposé, si peu assumé ?Quelles sont les méthodes existantes, leurs limites, leurs promesses ?Et surtout, qu'est-ce que ça dit de notre rapport au corps, au soin, au pouvoir de dire non — ou oui ?On vous propose une conversation franche, documentée et sensible, pour remettre la contraception masculine au cœur des discussions sur l'égalité, le désir et le consentement.Belle écoute

Despite the growing body of research, we are still in the early stages of understanding the gut microbiome. Consumer interest in biotics is growing and this trend is driving more research into pre, pro, post and synbiotics and their potential health benefits. This episode focuses on prebiotics, which are defined as “a substrate that is selectively utilized by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit” and are often associated with dietary fibers but may also derive from non-fiber substances such as polyphenols. Tune into this episode with Hannah Ackermann, MBA, RDN to learn about: ●        what prebiotics are and what they have to do with fiber ●        research regarding the known and emerging health benefits of prebiotics ●        health claims for prebiotics ●        trends in consumer interest in biotics ●        low FODMAP diets ●        what to look for on food labels ●        how different prebiotic fibers may impact GI symptoms ●        the prebiotic fiber ingredient Arrabina Wheat Fiber ●        resources for health professionals and the public Commercial support has been provided by COMET, a company specializing in prebiotic dietary fiber ingredients.

When a fleet of interstellar spaceships leaves our solar system for a planet circling a nearby star the most important of all of the riches that human explorers will carry with them will be libraries of our planet's DNA and the seeds of plants. They are the connection between past life, the inorganic world, and future life.

Objectivism and the Lust For Life.  Being, doing, getting, having more of everything.  Also, Mount St. Helens, Halley's Comet, "No Dirty Dishes Day" (and Robert's GLO Rules), and Happy Birthday to Tina Fey, Mark Mothersbaugh, Rick Wakeman, Frank Capra, and Bertrand Russell & his Teapot!

NASA's Europa Clipper was launched October 14, 2024 on a mission to conduct a detailed study of Jupiter's Moon Europa.  The space craft will travel some 1.8 billion miles and should reach Jupiter in April 2030.  This mission will begin to tell us if life as we know it can occur relatively close to home.

The NASA Kepler Spacecraft has discovered more than 2,000 planets which have been confirmed to be orbiting distant stars. It performs this remarkable feat by imaging more than 145,000 stars simultaneously to observe and measure the tiny dips in light which occur as a planet passes in front of its star. Astronomers have long known that many of the solar systems in the Milky Way have more than one star. To investigate the possibilities for life in a double star system, Dr Max Popp a scholar at Princeton University and Dr. Siegfried Eggl of Germany's Max Plank Institute substituted the real giant planet orbiting the stellar pair Kepler 35A and B with an Earth sized one orbiting the Kepler AB pair with periods between 341 and 380 days. Their detailed analysis is published in the journal Nature Communications.

We sit down with Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid, author of "Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and The Birth of History" an honorary fellow at Wolfson College, University of Oxford. She takes us on an incredible journey through ancient Mesopotamia, exploring the region's rich history, significant cultural innovations, and the development of the first writing system. We delve into the lives and contributions of notable Mesopotamians, including the first named author, princesses, and everyday people. We learn about ancient astronomy, the role of women in Mesopotamia, and the deep historical roots of many concepts we consider modern today. Tune in to understand why studying this ancient civilization remains crucial for our understanding of the present.00:00 Introduction 00:31 Exploring Mesopotamia: Location and Significance02:31 The Origins and Use of the Term "Mesopotamia"03:15 Ancient Mesopotamia: Life in the Cradle of Civilization05:52 The Birth and Impact of Writing Systems09:11 Deciphering Cuneiform: The Rosetta Stone of Mesopotamia12:51 The Importance of Studying Ancient History15:16 Personal Stories and Objects from Mesopotamia31:43 Understanding Heartbreak and Anxiety32:45 The Evolution and Loss of Knowledge35:45 Ancient Mesopotamian Medical Practices37:20 Origins and Impact of Astrology43:51 Women in Ancient Mesopotamia51:53 Top Five Mesopotamians: Dead or Alive57:09 RecommendationsDr Moudhy Al-Rashid is an assyriologist and historian based at Wolfson College, University of Oxford, who specializes in cuneiform and the history of science in ancient Mesopotamia. Thousands of cuneiform tablets preserve breathtaking moments in early scientific endeavor, like a 4,000-year-old approximation of pi and ancient observations of Halley's Comet — moments she hopes to bring to a wider audience. She's written "Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and The Birth of History," and practices archaeology in her home country of Saudi Arabia to learn more about the its rich ancient history, from early writing to wild camels in rock art.Connect with Dr Al-Rashid

From the director (Tobe Hooper) of The Texas Chainsaw Massacare and the writer (Dan O'Bannon) of Alien comes this crazy sci-fi horror thriller about a potential alien invasion which occurs around London after a race of space vampires (yes you read that right) come calling via Haley's Comet and an Earth-bound spaceship.  This ambitious Cannon Pictures release was a notable flop when it was first released in June of 1985 but has since garned a cult following due to several crazy setpieces, ample female nudity (from one alien in particular played by Matilda May), and.....some very inventive visual effects thanks to contributions from the same F/X wizard (John Dykstra) who had worked on the original Star Wars just eight years prior.  Starring alongside May (in her on-screen debut) are Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, and Patrick Stewart! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

No one has seen Comet Halley in decades. Even so, it’s reminding us of its presence about now. That’s because it’s responsible for the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. The shower is predicted to reach its peak tomorrow night, with top rates of about 40 or 50 meteors per hour. A meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through the orbital path of a comet. As a comet nears the Sun, some of the ice at its surface vaporizes in the heat. That releases small bits of rock and dust. Over time, this “comet dust” spreads out along the comet’s orbit. When Earth intersects the orbit, some of the debris slams into the atmosphere at tens of thousands of miles per hour – forming the glowing streaks known as meteors. The Eta Aquarids are one of two showers that are caused by Halley. The other takes place in October. Our planet passes a little deeper into the debris field in May, so this shower is better. Yet we’re a long way from the center of Halley’s trail – catching the fringe of a trail of comet dust. The shower is in better view from the southern half of the country. That’s because the point at which the meteors appear to “rain” into the atmosphere stays low in the south. To see the Eta Aquarids, find a dark, safe skywatching site, away from city lights. The best view comes in the wee hours of the morning. The Moon will be out of the way then, making it easier to see the “shooting stars” from Halley’s Comet. Script by Damond Benningfield
