SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 10In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking developments in space exploration, including the imminent launch of the first nuclear-powered rocket, the merging of low mass dwarf galaxies, and the intriguing connection between Earth-like planets and gas giants.The Dawn of Nuclear Rocket TechnologyHistory is set to be made as NASA and DARPA prepare to test the world's first fully operational nuclear-powered orbital rocket. This innovative vehicle utilizes a nuclear thermal propulsion system that heats liquid hydrogen propellant through nuclear fusion, achieving nearly double the efficiency of conventional rockets. The test aims to validate reactor operation in orbit, potentially revolutionizing space travel by reducing transit times to Mars and allowing for larger payloads.Merging Dwarf Galaxies: A New DiscoveryA recent study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters confirms that low mass dwarf galaxies can merge with one another. Observations of the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy reveal previously hidden stellar structures, suggesting that even the smallest galaxies experience mergers. These findings challenge traditional views on galaxy formation and evolution, indicating that interactions between dwarf galaxies may be more common than previously believed.The Connection Between Earth-Like and Gas Giant PlanetsAstronomers have found that rocky planets similar to Earth are more likely to exist in star systems that also contain large gas giants like Jupiter. This research, reported in Astronomy and Astrophysics, shows that cold Jupiters, which orbit beyond the snow line, play a significant role in the formation of super Earths in the inner regions of their planetary systems. The study offers new insights into the complex dynamics of planetary formation and the conditions that lead to the development of terrestrial planets.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal LettersAstronomy and AstrophysicsScience AdvancesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) NASA and DARPA prepare to test the first nuclear-powered orbital rocket(00:10:15) New study confirms mergers among low mass dwarf galaxies(00:20:45) Link discovered between Earth-like planets and gas giants(00:30:00) China breaks through barriers in nuclear fusion reactor development(00:35:20) The impact of ultra-processed foods on global health.

In this episode of Physics World Stories, host Andrew Glester explores the fascinating hunt for pristine comets – icy bodies that preserve material from the solar system's beginnings and even earlier. Unlike more familiar comets that repeatedly swing close to the Sun and transform, these frozen relics act as time capsules, offering unique insights into our cosmic history. "Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is seen in this composite image captured on 6 November 2025 by the Europa Ultraviolet Spectrograph instrument on NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft. (Courtesy: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SWRI)"Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is seen in this composite image captured on 6 November 2025 by the Europa Ultraviolet Spectrograph instrument on NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft. (Courtesy: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SWRI) The first guest is Tracy Becker, deputy principal investigator for the Ultraviolet Spectrograph on NASA's Europa Clipper mission. Becker describes how the Jupiter-bound spacecraft recently turned its gaze to 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar visitor that appeared last July. Mission scientists quickly reacted to this unique opportunity, which also enabled them to test the mission’s instruments before it arrives at the icy world of Europa. Michael Küppers then introduces the upcoming Comet Interceptor mission, set for launch in 2029. This joint ESA–JAXA mission will “park” in space until a suitable comet arrives from the outer reaches of the solar system. They will deploy two probes to study it from multiple angles – offering a first-ever close look at material untouched since the solar system's birth. From interstellar wanderers to carefully orchestrated intercepts, this episode blends pioneering missions and cosmic detective work. Keep up to date with all the latest space and astronomy developments in the dedicated section of the Physics World website.

If There Was One Thing You Can Give Your Child, What Would It Be? What Our Generation Needs MostThis text-based class is the ninth and last one in a series on the Maamar (discourse) Basi Legani, presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe at the Farbrengen of 10 Shvat 5726, January 31, 1966. This class was presented on Thursday, 4 Shevat, 5786, January 22, 2026, Parshas Bo, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class presents a summation of the Basi Legani 5726 discourse, finding the secret treasure given by the King to His soldiers so they can triumph in the final battle. We explore how bliss is the glue of creation, and the underlying heartbeat and soul of all existence. The deepest, most essential Divine bliss and pleasure, inaccessible because it is essentially beyond any grasp and definition, is shared with us. We discuss the meaning of the Garden, the snake, and the Tree of Knowledge; how the Baal Shem Tov came to heal the world and our people from the profound sense of anxiety, shame, and guilt that paralyzes us emotionally, and how we can recognize the "snake" inside of us, and lean in to love being communicated every moment, even when feel alone and detached.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 9In this episode of SpaceTime, we unravel the enigma of the universe's mysterious little red dots, delve into groundbreaking insights from Jupiter regarding the evolution of our solar system's planets, and mark the commencement of construction on Earth's largest gamma-ray observatory.The Mystery of the Little Red DotsA fascinating new study reveals that the enigmatic little red dots observed in early images from the NASA Webb Space Telescope are, in fact, young black holes cloaked in ionized gas. Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute's Cosmic Dawn Center have determined that these black holes, much smaller than previously thought, are in the process of consuming gas, which creates immense heat and radiation, giving them their distinctive red appearance. This discovery sheds light on the formation of some of the universe's earliest black holes just 700 million years after the Big Bang.Jupiter's Role in Planetary EvolutionNew simulations indicate that Jupiter may contain up to 50% more oxygen than the Sun, providing fresh insights into how the planets in our solar system formed. By developing a comprehensive model of Jupiter's atmosphere, researchers have resolved a long-standing debate regarding the gas giant's chemical composition. The findings suggest that Jupiter's atmosphere circulates much more slowly than previously believed, which could alter our understanding of planetary migration and formation processes.Construction of Earth's Largest Gamma-Ray ObservatoryEngineers have officially begun construction on the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory, set to be the largest gamma-ray telescope ever built. Located in Chile's Atacama Desert, this observatory will significantly enhance our ability to study high-energy cosmic phenomena, such as black holes and supernovae. With over 60 telescopes across two sites, the observatory will allow astronomers to observe gamma rays with unprecedented accuracy, potentially unlocking new discoveries about dark matter and the fundamental laws of physics.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature JournalPlanetary Science JournalAdvances in Atmospheric SciencesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) New study reveals little red dots in Webb images are young black holes(00:07:30) Jupiter may have 50% more oxygen than the Sun, reshaping planetary formation theories(00:15:45) Construction begins on the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory(00:22:00) New data confirms 2025 saw record ocean heat storage(00:25:30) Advances in autonomous driving technology showcased at CES 2026.

Researchers from the University of California Riverside utilized computer simulations to demonstrate how Mars' gravitational pull alters Earth's orbit and affects long-term climatic cycles. The findings challenge previous assumptions about Mars' minimal influence and highlight the planet's role in shaping Earth's climatic patterns over millions of years.Crew 11's Safe ReturnNASA's SpaceX Crew 11 has successfully splashed down in the North Pacific Ocean after a historic emergency medical evacuation from the ISS. The crew's return, which occurred a month earlier than planned due to medical concerns, was marked by a brilliant display in the night sky as they descended. This marks a significant event in the history of human spaceflight, emphasizing the importance of health monitoring aboard the space station.Unveiling Australia's Geological HistoryScientists have discovered that the rare gas krypton can be used to unlock the secrets of Earth's ancient landscapes. By examining tiny zircon crystals found in ancient beach sands, researchers can gauge how long these minerals have been exposed at the surface, providing insights into erosion rates and potential mineral deposits. This groundbreaking research not only sheds light on the past but also has implications for future resource exploration in Australia.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesAstronomical Society of the PacificNASA ReportsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) New study shows how the orbit of Mars can affect climate here on Earth(00:05:52) NASA's SpaceX crew 11 safely returned to Earth after medical evacuation(00:08:17) SpaceX and NASA astronauts splashdown after 167 days in space(00:09:00) The crew were returning a month early due to medical concerns(00:10:46) Scientists use rare gas called krypton to study ancient Earth landscapes(00:23:05) New data from NASA shows 2025 was the second hottest year since records began(00:24:38) Some AI chatbots are reporting abuse and fear following interactions with humans

In the social impact sector, we talk a lot about systems. Structural barriers. Root causes. Power structures. But I've watched systems-focused thinking become its own kind of trap: top-down, abstract, and alienating the very people it aims to serve.Because systems aren't just structures and policies. They're people. And you can't change a system by imposing solutions from above. You have to build with the people living inside it.My guest today calls herself a practical radical. After her father died when she was eleven, basketball saved her. For eight years, she coached high school girls in West Philadelphia, taking a program from 0-18 in her first season to state champions in her last. But she noticed something: for some kids, sports is a hobby. For others, it's a lifeline.

Utilizing data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories, researchers traced the influence of Saguara as it interacts with Betelgeuse's outer atmosphere. This discovery sheds light on the star's peculiar brightness variations and its eventual fate as it nears a supernova explosion, which could occur at any time in astronomical terms.A Black Hole's Powerful FeastIn a remarkable observation, astronomers witnessed a black hole shredding a massive star in what is described as the most powerful event of its kind ever recorded. Known as a gravitational tidal disruption event, this phenomenon released energy equivalent to 400 billion times that of our Sun, surpassing even the most energetic supernovae. The event, cataloged as AT 2024WPP, offers new insights into black hole behavior and the dynamics of stellar destruction.BepiColombo's Journey to MercuryThe BepiColombo spacecraft is nearing its orbit insertion around Mercury after a seven-year journey. Launched in 2018, this multi-spacecraft mission will study Mercury's surface, magnetic field, and interaction with solar activity. The mission consists of two orbiters that will work in tandem to gather comprehensive data about this enigmatic planet, promising to enhance our understanding of planetary formation and evolution.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical JournalMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyEuropean Space Agency ReportsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a dive into the ultimate questions of existence, stripping away the "hippie dippy" nonsense to get to the core of critical thinking. Lionel challenges the "long gradual ladder" of evolution with the sudden complexity of the Cambrian explosion and the "irreducible complexity" of biological machines. From debating "Christian by birth" labels to analyzing the "God gene" and the passing of Dilbert creator Scott Adams, no topic is off-limits. Whether discussing the physics of the universe or why George Burns made a great Deity, Lionel argues that actions speak louder than dogma—and he'd rather "lick a belt sander" than talk about boring news stories.

Our solar system is a dynamic arena where asteroids careen off course and solar winds hurl charged particles across billions of miles of space. Yet we seldom consider how these events, so immense in scale, influence our fragile blue planet: Earth. In Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean: An Environmental History of Our Place in the Solar System (Harvard UP, 2025), Dagomar Degroot traces the surprising threads linking human endeavor to the rest of the solar system. He reveals how variability in planetary environments has shaped geopolitics, spurred scientific and cultural innovation, and encouraged new ideas about the emergence and fate of life. Martian dust storms altered the trajectory of the Cold War and inspired fantastical stories about alien civilizations. Comet impacts on Jupiter led to the first planetary defense strategy. And volcanic eruptions spewed sulfuric acid into Venus's atmosphere, exposing the existential risks of climate change at home. As we stand on the brink of a new era of space settlement, cosmic environments are becoming increasingly vulnerable to human activity. They may also hold the key to slowing the destruction of environments on Earth. Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean urges us to develop an interplanetary environmentalism across a vast mosaic of entangled worlds and to consider the profound connections that bind us to the cosmos and each other.

How do supermassive black holes actually form in the early universe? Is the Cosmological Constant not so constant after all? And what would be on the astrophysical menu at a Cosmic Brunch? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome astrophysicist Thresa Kelly, who is a second year grad student working on her PhD at the Rochester Institute of Technology. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, one of the recent studies made using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, aka DESI, located at Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona. According to the DESI team's research, there is a about a 95% chance that the dark energy levels in the universe have changed over cosmic time. This “Dynamical Dark Energy model” offers the first, tiny hint that the Cosmological Constant may not be so constant after all. Thresa, who is using DESI and other sources for her work putting together a catalog of AGNs, or active galactic nuclei – the supermassive black holes found at the center of galaxies, tells us about what DESI is trying to do and why it's so important. The end goal of Thresa's project is to estimate the black hole masses of AGNs, and she's gotten spectra data on over 2,000 objects that have been observed using DESI. Thresa can't get into the details of her catalog, which hasn't been published yet and includes about 14,000 objects, but Allen and Chuck join her in a discussion of what's going on with black hole masses, accretion discs, Eddington Luminosity, black hole growth, galactic evolution, and more. Our first audience question comes from Kathryn, who asks, “When we look through a standard telescope looking at "past" versions of planets/stars/etc., how far back in the past are we observing?” Thresa explains how we use red shift to measure how long light from a galaxy takes to reach us to help us determine how far in the past the objects are. For instance, an AGN with a red shift of 7 can reach back to the period of “Cosmic Dawn” or, as Thresa puts it, “Cosmic Brunch” taking place 12 billion years ago. Thresa talks about her experience in an REU, or “Research Experiences for Undergraduates,” funded by the NSF, which enabled her to spend time studying at the University of Hawaii and cemented her desire to go to grad school, get a PhD, and become a “real scientist.” She explains how each step of her career brought her from Kansas to where she is today. Our next audience question comes from Walter: “If a quasar's jets are aimed directly away from Earth, would we then not be able to see the supermassive black hole?” Thresa says that depends on how you define “seeing” a black hole, and that even without visible light, you can discern black holes by looking at other wavelengths like x-rays and ultraviolet rays which are generated by different component areas of the black hole like the corona, accretion disk, or the torus. Chuck notices a shelf of games behind Thresa and asks her about them. She pulls out Stardew Valley, a farming simulator she plays with her fiancé and her fellow grad students. It's not long until Chuck, Allen and Thresa are geeking out about Dungeons and Dragons. Finally, Chuck asks Thresa to speculate on a specific scientific discovery that may come out of her PhD thesis work. Her answer: figuring out how supermassive black holes actually form in the early universe. If you'd like to know more about Thresa Kelly, you can find her on LinkedIn.

The new year serves as a natural moment for reflection and reset. This sense of starting over seems to be connected with cycles in nature and the sky. Humanity has long been fascinated with celestial events – of which there are many to look forward to in 2026 – the “Year of the Fire Horse” in the Chinese Zodiac. Our emotions, behaviors, and relationships have come to be associated with the movements of planetary bodies. Understanding these cycles can help with self-awareness, emotional balance, and personal growth. Tonight, Jeremy Scott sits in for Clyde Lewis and is joined by astrologers Mary Dusina and Jeff Harman They discuss ‘The Cosmic Reset' – a coming global transformation marked by geopolitical tensions, unrest, and days of disclosure during what could be one of the most game-changing cycles this century.

Send me a Text Message!For 1000's of years Satan has been thumming his nose at God, rejecting and ridiculing the wisdom and the grace of God. But when the grace of God flows (to us and through us) the wisdom of God is made known. Grace has a Cosmic effect. The importance of the church is that it's not just a place where worship services take place, it's a people through whom the purposes of God are fufilled.In the heavenly places, where heaven meets earth, we become the "see I told you" of God. His amazing grace is on display in us, in the heavenly places.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 3In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the latest discoveries in astrophysics and the challenges faced by space agencies worldwide.Ancient Supernova Offers Clues to Dark EnergyAstronomers have made significant strides in understanding dark energy, the enigmatic force driving the universe's accelerated expansion. A newly observed supernova, located 10 billion light years away, has been gravitationally lensed by a foreground galaxy, allowing scientists to analyze multiple images of the same explosion. This phenomenon could help determine the Hubble constant, shedding light on the universe's expansion rate and its ultimate fate, which ranges from a Big Crunch to a Big Rip.Sterile Neutrino Hypothesis Nearly Ruled OutAfter over a decade of research, scientists have come close to ruling out the existence of the sterile neutrino, a proposed particle that could explain anomalous neutrino behavior. Data from the Micro BooNE experiment at Fermilab has shown no signs of sterile neutrinos, providing a pivotal moment in particle physics that narrows the search for new theories beyond the standard model.China's Reusable Rocket SetbackChina's efforts to develop a reusable rocket faced a significant blow as its Long March 12A failed on its maiden flight. Although the rocket's first and second stages performed as expected, the first stage failed to return successfully, highlighting the challenges in achieving reusability akin to SpaceX's Falcon 9. This setback underscores the competitive nature of the global space industry as China strives to enhance its capabilities.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical LettersNatureFermilab ReportsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) This is Space Time Series 29, Episode 3 for broadcast on 7 January 2026(00:00:47) Discovering dark energy through a unique supernova(00:12:30) Ruling out the sterile neutrino hypothesis(00:20:10) China's reusable rocket faces a major setback(00:25:00) Science report: Climate change impacts, endangered species, and digital privacy concerns

In this episode, I interviewed my good astrologer friend, Daniela, of @thecosmiclatte, about running her own astrology business. We trade notes on transits that were happening when we both left our full-time jobs to be astrologers, what we like doing best with our work, how we structure our astrology businesses, as well as other fun topics like asteroids, eclipses, and 2026 transits.You can find Daniela on Instagram @thecosmiclatte, and all of her services can be found on her website.A video version of this podcast episode is available on my YouTube channel, Astrology with AliceYou can find all of my astrology teachings and in-depth monthly horoscopes on my SubstackTimestamps:0:00 – Introducing Daniela5:30 – Timing of Daniela's decision to start an astrology business8:50 – Different aspects of being a full-time astrologer16:42 – What we prioritize when interpreting a chart21:41 – The transiting nodes25:05 – Alice's early astrology journey29:37 – The significance of asteroids in a chart39:24 – Daniela's POV on being a twin and twin astrology45:40 – What we're most excited for with 2026 astrology49:50 – Mother - child synastryFollow me on Instagram for daily astro insights: @stalkaliceMusic is licensed from Soundstripe.Podcast Produced & Edited by Julia Bell at Breaking Thru Productions© 2025 Alice Bell.

Though we both left Mormonism, Ash and I ended up in very different spiritual places. We talk about the tension between my skepticism and her mysticism, what New Age spirituality looks like in her everyday life, and the meaning it brings her. We also talk about her family's move to Missouri to prepare for the Mormon Second Coming, and how that has shaped her worldview.

Theoretical physicist Brian Greene says science gives him a sense of meaning and purpose because it uncovers how reality is shaped. “When you use physics to understand reality's deepest workings,” he says, “you feel a kind of cosmic communion by virtue of seeing beneath the surface.” As co-founder of the World Science Festival and a prolific author, Greene has made a career of bringing accessible stories of science to the masses. People will engage with science when it's visceral and relevant, he says. He visits with Kelly Corrigan, NPR podcast host and New York Times best-selling author, about how we fit into a larger cosmological story.Icarus at the Edge of Time, World Science FestivalIcarus at the Edge of Time, Brian GreeneThe Denial of Death, Ernest BeckerWorld Science Festival
