Podcasts about Distant Worlds

One of the big news stories of this week is that a pre-order date for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been announced - just in case you were skeptical about this game being one of the biggest launches of anything ever. Speaking of launches, Xbox has launched another new round of studio closures which obviously sucks! On a more positive note, we've checked out a bunch of fun and creative new demos as part of Steam Next Fest, and Square's new action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. This episode is brought to you by Distant Worlds, a celebration of music from Final Fantasy performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at Hamer Hall from July 23 - 25. Book now at mso.com.au Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Galactic community is anticipating a new Community Goal in Colonia, after bartender Jaques dropped hints that he would be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the most famous misjump in Galactic history.Closing image by Dr Nagi, Distant Worlds 3 organiser.

We listen to Theme of Love and Battle with the Four Fiends from Final Fantasy 4. How do these pieces of music so successfully evoke emotions and parallel different types of conversations? Plus, we hear more Distant Worlds, Black Mages, and Celtic Moon!

It's been a big week for news in the more distant parts of the Galaxy. The Distant Worlds 3 expedition is coming to the end of its 15-stop tour of the Galaxy, and colonisation crews working for Project Galtea have started preparing for their next push, which will create colonies more than 10,000 LY from Sol.

The October Consortium is apparently delighted with their pile of nearly three million Guardian Artefacts. Meanwhile, the evacuation of Lhou Mans is going well, and the Distant Worlds 3 expedition has been scanning their own beacon.

The Distant Worlds 3 Expedition is heading to a cluster of Guardian sites close to the centre of the Galaxy. However, there is no word on whether this timely visit to the remains of a civilisation that has recently sparked new interest is anything more than a coincidence. Plus, there's a beacon to scan, and the new ship, the Lynx Highliner, will be available to buy for Credits, from tomorrow, 28th April.

There have been further reports of pirate raids across core systems this week, prompting concerns over a growing pirate threat. There are just three more waypoints on the Distant Worlds 3 expedition, which will end in three weeks. And the Guardian Artefact initiative enters its final few days, with some Commanders unable to unload their Fleet Carriers.

Studying planets in other solar systems isn't easy, especially when their host stars keep stealing the spotlight. NASA's Pandora mission will cut through the noise, revealing what the atmospheres of these distant worlds are really made of.

The crew talk about the CG and play the waiting game for any more information about operations, no seriously, any more.

A nontechnical talk by Dr. Bruce Macintosh (University of California Observatories)Mar. 11, 2026In the past three decades, more than 6000 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars.  Advances in technology have allowed a handful of giant planets around other stars to be imaged directly. Dr. Macintosh tells us about the first-ever images of other solar systems — and the technology that has allowed us to discover them, such as the Gemini Planet Imager — as well as the future planet-hunting space telescopes. The ultimate goal is detection of a second ‘pale blue dot' — an Earth twin where we could even see the biosignatures of extrasolar life.  (He also talks a bit about the wind damage to the Lick Observatory and what is being done to repair the historic dome.)Bruce Macintosh is the Director of the University of California Observatories in California and Hawaii. He co-led the team that imaged the first extrasolar planets, and was the Principal Investigator of the Gemini Planet Imager, an advanced planet-finder for the Gemini South telescope.

The truce in the Radicoida enclave is over, but you probably wouldn't notice the difference. And the Distant Worlds 3 expedition is planning an SRV time trial that ends by diving into a crater.

A new spaceship will be announced tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Distant Worlds 3 expedition has gone as far as it can, and has turned itself around.

There is concern that a Vox Galactica report may have been influenced by agitators keen to see an end to the ceasefire. And some members of the Distant Worlds 3 expedition have expressed disquiet about the unexpectedly long distance to the next waypoint.

Shocking scenes have emerged of shoddy building work by Brewer Corporation on a recently completed asteroid base. Hamm City, in COL 285 Sector CY-N B21-8, is a lengthy supercruise from the jump-in point, but that's no excuse for poor workmanship, according to System Architect CMDR _Bagpiper_. Plus, we catch up with Distant Worlds 3 as it leaves the World of Death.

The Distant Worlds 3 expedition is planning to establish another deep space facility to support survey and exploration activities. They want your help to make it happen, and they're offering a pre-engineered size 5 cargo rack with increased cargo capacity as an incentive.

In this week's news, we learn a tiny bit more about Operations. We find some intersecting planetary rings. And the Distant Worlds 3 expedition has published details of its launch event.

Today we're joined by Verity Allan, who works as a project manager, developer, and programmer of architecture and software for the Square Kilometre Array, which will be the world's largest radio telescope. A graduate of Cambridge, Oxford, and The Open University, Verity came to Cambridge from a town in the Midlands to study Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. How did she go from studying ancient languages, to coding, designing security for telescope software systems, and pursuing a PhD in high performance computing for astrophysics? These are just some of the twists and turns we hope to explore in our chat with Verity. Stay with us.Useful Links:Explore | SKAO - Learn more about the two largest telescope arrays in the worldRoss Anderson's book on Security Engineering, mentioned by Verity, is available at https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/archive/rja14/book.html (all three editions plus some videos)Verity wrote two papers on the history of scientific computing: The Cavendish Computors: The women working in scientific computing for Radio Astronomy and Scientific Computing in the Cavendish Laboratory and the pioneering women ComputorsLearn more about Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics - The University of Manchester and about our Astrophysics work in Cambridge.Share and join the conversationHelp us get better by taking our quick survey.

Colonisation is back, and some important new fixes are on the way. The Distant Worlds 3 people want to colonise Orion, and there's a new, "improved" Hutton Orbital for the most dedicated pilots to visit.

The team behind the Distant Stars, Distant Worlds and Distant Worlds 2 expeditions is back, with the sign-up now open for their fourth event, Distant Worlds 3.

Should Thargoids be invited back to HIP 22460? And should there be another Distant Worlds expedition?

Ferris tries to stick up for Rich, but it ends up making things worse; Carter and company head back to the base, but stop to get some grass samples to help solve one of the biggest mysteries regarding the charred man; Sarko complains to the Captain about the way he's handling the downed shuttle; and Stooge keeps messing things up...Music provided by Taako @ soundcloud.com/madebytaakoAdditional tracks:"Full Access" by Jimmy Svensson @ Artlist.io"Space Mission" by Young Rich Pixies @ Artlist.io"No One is Out Here" by Yehezkel Raz @ Artlist.io"Distant Worlds" by Theatre of Delays @ Artlist.ioA nd various artists @ Pond5.com

What is the connection between Distant Worlds 2 and the concept of "awe"?Awe - the feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear and wonder.Awesome -having some awe. Now used to mean something good, cool, interesting. As in it was awesome to get Erik Rutins AND Dastactic on the show.Awe inspiring - bringing about the sense of awe. As in, the concept of Distant Worlds 2 is awe inspiring.Awful - meaning, literally, full of awe, yet somehow the exact opposite of awesome. As in, it is awful that I have waited this long to play Distant Worlds 2.Yes, this show is about Distant Worlds 2. We have Erik Rutins, Dastactic, Drexy, David and Andy (who says very little because he is awestruck!)Enjoy, and keep exploring!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Clare's distain for exploration is as far reaching as Distant Worlds 3. They have used the QOTW as incentive for the community to convince her otherwise. The crew also express their opinions about HIP 22460.

Outside of The Legenda of Zelda, no videogame franchise is more closely tied to music than Final Fantasy. From emotional resonance to supporting gameplay to auditory storytelling, the themes of Final Fantasy are the stuff of legends. So much so, we've been listening to live orchestral versions of these pieces for decades. Enter Distant Worlds, a long running orchestra series that brings the music of Final Fantasy to the greatest stages in the world.

Think of a place and time in history and imagine what it smelled like. This has been the source of inspiration for Carlos: tapping into scent to unlock the past. His work as a fragrance developer includes the signature scent for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, the nostagia-infused Vacation sunscreens, and the first fine fragrance for J.Crew. With ARQUISTE, he channels his background in architecture and historic preservation to create time capsule experiences in collaboration with perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Yann Vasnier.In this episode, Carlos sits down with Brittney Jackson Moseley, who runs integrated marketing at Scentbird. He talks about the magic of baby cologne and tells the story of how pachouli became the scent of outcasts.
