Une équipe d'astrophysiciens chinois vient de mettre en évidence l'existence d'une raie gamma à une énergie de 43,2 GeV dans les données du télescope Fermi LAT accumulées pendant 15,5 ans en direction de 13 amas de galaxies. Cette raie gamma pourrait être le signal tant attendu d'un processus de désintégration ou d'annihilation de particules de matière noire, et donc une preuve indirecte de l'existence de particules massives interagissant faiblement. L'étude est publiée cette semaine dans Physical Review Letters.

⚡️WOW - 48 hours after the show is released...Aug 12-14, 2026 my guest Myriam and I will personally jump into the comment section on my YouTube channel here to answer your questions/comments personally. Just scroll down below the video, leave your remark, and watch for replies. Join the New Earth Evolution... engage!Every soul on this planet is holding a memory older than Earth itself, and you're about to touch yours. I have a heart-to-heart with galactic astrologer, family constellation facilitator, and geomancer Myriam Wiedemann, whose path from architecture into the unseen led her to a single question: what actually operates beneath and above the space we live in?She reveals galactic astrology. Then she takes it further. Myriam has expanded family constellation work beyond your bloodline entirely, into your galactic ancestry, surfacing trauma and gifts passed down not just through your family, but through your star family. What she uncovers will make you question every "unexplainable" thing you've ever felt.We go deep into Atlantis, Lemuria, Germany and the wars, the elementals, nature beings and what it really means to co-create the New Earth with the Guardian races and Earth herself. If you've ever looked at the night sky and felt an ache for somewhere you can't name, this episode is for you.At the end, Myriam delivers the "New Earth Practice" - a guided journey to your star family.

L'émission 28 minutes du 10/08/2026 Comme chaque année, la CIA évalue les menaces auxquelles les États-Unis sont confrontés dans son “Annual threat assessment” (ATA). Mais 2026 marque un tournant. Plutôt que de se concentrer sur la Chine, considérée jusque-là comme son principal adversaire, l'agence se focalise désormais sur les menaces intérieures : immigration clandestine, trafic de drogues et lutte contre les opposants politiques. Le spécialiste des questions de renseignement à l'IRSEM Paul Charon, qui signe l'introduction du livre “Menaces actuelles et futures vues par la CIA” (aux éditions des Équateurs), discute de cet étrange recoupement avec les obsessions de Donald Trump. Une éclipse solaire est attendue ce mercredi 12 août et promet un spectacle rare et majestueux, visible depuis l'Europe. Outre sa dimension scientifique, elle revêt aussi un intérêt anthropologique, puisqu'elle renvoie à la peur ancestrale de la disparition du soleil, sans laquelle la vie sur Terre ne serait pas possible, et convoque diverses croyances et superstitions. Nos connaissances en astronomie et en astrophysique ne cessent d'avancer, portées par la technologie et le développement d'outils spécifiques comme les télescopes géants. Mais le ciel est aussi l'objet de convoitises de la part de milliardaires, Elon Musk et Jeff Bezos en tête, qui n'ont pas seulement pour projet de l'explorer, mais de s'y installer. On en débat avec Alain Cirou, directeur de la rédaction du magazine Ciel et Espace, Françoise Combes, astrophysicienne, titulaire de la chaire “Galaxies et cosmologie” au Collège de France, et Frédérique Aït-Touati, historienne des sciences, directrice de recherche au CNRS. Isadora Dartial nous parle de la sobremasa (“sur la table” en espagnol), ce moment suspendu où, en Espagne, on prolonge le repas autour d'un café, d'un digestif ou d'un simple éclat de rire entre amis. Théophile Cossa nous explique le projet de méga ferme de saumons validé par la préfecture de Gironde la semaine dernière en passe de devenir la ferme aquacole la plus importante de l'Union européenne. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

What happens when a black hole launches a jet travelling close to the speed of light? And how can scientists study events happening millions of light years away?This week we are joined by Sophie Young, a PhD candidate in astrophysics at the University of Tasmania and a Young Tassie Scientist. This episode is part of our special Young Tassie Scientists mini-series, highlighting emerging researchers who are sharing their passion for science with students and communities across Tasmania. Sophie works in computational astrophysics, using powerful supercomputers to create virtual galaxies and simulate the behaviour of black hole jets. We explore what black holes really are, how these extraordinary jets influence the evolution of galaxies, and why simulations are such an important tool for understanding the Universe.Along the way, Sophie shares her journey into science, her passion for coding and problem solving, and her experiences inspiring students through the Young Tassie Scientists program.Show theme music: Kevin MacLeodThank you to the whole TWICS team for the incredible behind-the-scenes volunteering every week!Host: Dr Olly Dove (Insta: ols_dove)Co-Host: Dr Hannah Moore (@volcanohannah)Production: Dr Simin Salarpour (@SalarpourSimin)Media & Promotion: Emma Hamasaki (@EmmaHamasaki)

What happens when a PC gamer turns downloadable Steam games into physical cartridges? Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar explore that inventive project alongside an AI-generated reality show starring romantic fruits, Xbox's possible plan for preserving physical game collections, Fitbit's long-awaited Apple Health support and a 9,000-pound rocket stage headed for the Moon. The crew also discusses a travel app that automatically tells stories based on your location, the staggering first imagery from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, Kevin Mitnick's legacy in cybersecurity and several troubling decisions from the video game industry. Stories, Gadgets and Topics Discussed Katie's Brother P-touch label maker: Katie shows how she is using built-in symbols—including cameras, computers and warning icons—to organize and identify equipment, drives and other technology. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory reveals an enormous view of the universe: Dave follows up on the observatory's 3.2-gigapixel LSST camera and an image containing approximately 650,000 galaxies. The hosts discuss the astonishing detail available when zooming into tiny sections of the image, the observatory's planned decade of data collection and how AI could help scientists examine datasets too large for humans to process manually. See the Vera C. Rubin Observatory imagery Wrinkles turns city exploration into a location-aware audio tour: Katie introduces Wrinkles, a travel app that automatically shares historical facts, local stories and hidden details as users walk through supported cities. The app uses AI-generated voices, but its information is drawn from curated sources such as historians, museums and local organizations. Creators and tourism groups may also be able to build their own tours and experiences. Explore the Wrinkles travel app A PC gamer creates physical Steam cartridges: Sorg examines a DIY project that stores individual Steam games on inexpensive 128GB, 2.5-inch SSDs. A script detects the drive when it is inserted, connects the game to the owner's Steam library and launches the title—creating something close to a modern PC game cartridge. The discussion considers storage costs, portability and whether physical presentation can make digital collections feel more permanent. See the DIY Steam cartridge project Kevin Mitnick and National Social Engineering Day: Dave looks back at famed hacker-turned-security-consultant Kevin Mitnick, whose birthday on August 6 inspired National Social Engineering Day. The hosts explain how attackers can bypass strong technology by manipulating employees, customer-service representatives and other people into revealing passwords, resetting accounts or granting access. Learn about National Social Engineering Day Read Kevin Mitnick's congressional testimony ChachiSays Video Game Minute—“Doubling Down on Dumb Decisions”: Sony acknowledges the backlash surrounding its move away from physical PlayStation discs but plans to continue moving in that direction.

Learn about Moonbase Y Xbox considers converting physical games into digital licenses: A reported Xbox disc-to-digital program could allow owners of original Xbox and Xbox 360 discs to access compatible digital copies on newer hardware or PC. The hosts discuss game preservation, license transfer, resale and whether Microsoft's approach inspires more confidence in the long-term future of an Xbox library. Read about Xbox's reported disc-to-digital plan Fitbit data can finally sync with Apple Health: Fitbit users can now consolidate more of their fitness information inside Apple Health. The hosts discuss the convenience of keeping activity, blood-pressure readings and medical information in one location, while noting that some measurements—including heart-rate variability—may not transfer yet. Learn how to sync Fitbit with Apple Health A SpaceX rocket stage is headed for the Moon: A roughly 9,000-pound piece of space hardware is expected to strike the lunar surface. Although the collision is accidental and likely will not be visible to the naked eye, lunar orbiters may be able to document the crater and debris, turning the impact into an unexpected scientific experiment. Read about the lunar impact Fruit Love Island and the strange appeal of AI reality television: Sorg introduces an AI-generated dating show starring anthropomorphic fruits and vegetables. The hosts examine its bizarre character designs, inconsistent AI visuals, audience voting, reality-show storytelling and surprisingly organized production workflow.

"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see." There's something about space that captures the imagination of scientists and artists alike. Just ask astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson and astronomer Brian May (yes, THAT Brian May, guitarist of Queen). In their book "Islands in Infinity: Galaxies 3-D," they turn flat images of the galaxies to three dimensional spacescapes that leap off the page. In March, Host Flora Lichtman spoke with Ward-Thompson and May about the enchanting nature of space and the collision of art and astronomy. And yes, they get into the music. Guests: Dr. Brian May is an astronomer and the guitarist of Queen. Dr. Derek Ward-Thompson is an astrophysicist at the University of Lancashire in England.

Astronomy Daily S05E148 — "Far Side" Thursday 23 July 2026 Starship gets a second shot at Flight 13 — with a schedule caveat worth knowing about. The first far-side lunar samples reveal that Earth has been quietly shielding the side of the Moon that faces us. Astronomers debate whether the lunar far side should be closed to industry. The Milky Way's only helium nova finally steps out from behind twenty-five years of dust. And the case that our entire galaxy once turned over. Plus a skywatch closer with a straightforward piece of advice about the Delta Aquariids: do not wait for the peak.In this episode Starship Flight 13 ● Window opens 6:45pm EDT / 2245 GMT Thursday 23 July — 8:45am AEST and 10:45am NZST Friday 24 July. ● Schedule is not locked: Starbase road and beach closure notices point to further Pad 2 testing. ● The 16 July attempt aborted at T-0 when four of 33 Raptors missed start parameters; the limit is three. ● Two Raptors were removed and replaced before this attempt. ● First-ever Starship deployment of V3 Starlink satellites — 20 of them. ● Super Heavy splashes down in the Gulf at ~7 minutes; Ship targets the Indian Ocean off Western Australia at ~65 minutes. No catch attempts. Chang'e-6 and the solar wind ● Published in Nature Geoscience by a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Geology and Geophysics. ● Based on 1,935 grams of regolith returned from the South Pole–Aitken basin on the lunar far side. ● First direct laboratory comparison of solar wind implantation between the near and far sides. ● Far-side soil records faster, deeper-penetrating particles; the neon isotope ratio sits below every near-side sample measured. ● About a quarter of the solar wind exposure at the Chang'e-5 near-side site involved wind decelerated by Earth's magnetosphere. The far-side site shows none. ● Opens the possibility of using lunar noble gases as a fossil record of Earth's magnetic field over deep time. The far side debate — NAM 2026 ● Held Tuesday 21 July at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting, University of Birmingham. Convened by Prof Martin Ward. ● For the motion: Prof Joe Silk (Johns Hopkins) and Dr Jonathan McDowell (Durham Space Research Centre). ● Against: Dr Nikita Chiu (Durham) and Dr Manuel Salvoldi (aerospace engineer and educator). ● For: the far side is the only radio-quiet site near Earth — critical for detecting the cosmic dark ages, and an exceptional platform for gravitational wave detection. ● Against: commercial investment is what makes lunar exploration sustainable, and governance can let science and industry coexist. ● Audience support for the motion rose from 68% to 76% across the debate. V445 Puppis ● Presented at NAM 2026 by John Mills, University of Warwick. ● The only confirmed helium nova in the Milky Way. Erupted in late 2000, then vanished behind its own dust for over twenty years. ● Now confirmed as a white dwarf accreting from a rare stripped helium star — only a few thousand such stars are thought to exist in the entire galaxy. ● Orbital period of 3.7 days, roughly double previous estimates. Mass transfer has resumed. ● Unexplained high-speed "bullets" of possibly oxygen-rich gas travelling up to 20 million mph (~9,000 km/s) — never seen in any other nova. ● Data from ESO's Very Large Telescope, Hubble, the Southern African Large Telescope and TESS. ● Helium novae may be one pathway to Type Ia supernovae, the standard candles used to measure cosmic expansion. The Milky Way disc flip ● Presented at NAM 2026 by Kirill Batrakov, Durham University. ● Based on 25 Milky Way-like galaxies in the Auriga simulation suite, followed across roughly 11 billion years. ● Galaxies with the most slowly rotating stellar haloes shared a major head-on merger and a disc reorientation greater than 90 degrees. ● Our stellar halo rotates at only 10–20 km/s; the disc moves at around 220 km/s. ● The Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus collision roughly 10 billion years ago is the candidate trigger. ● Batrakov describes a disc flip as likely rather than confirmed, and is looking for independent signatures. ● Separate 2026 work led by Ling Zhu, using 600,000+ giant stars from Gaia and LAMOST, found the outer dark matter halo oriented almost vertically to the stellar disc — consistent with the disc having tilted. Skywatch ● Southern Delta Aquariids are active now, running into late August, with maximum around 30 July. ● Full Moon on 29 July means peak night is close to 98% illuminated — the worst conditions of the run. ● Best window: the pre-dawn mornings from now until roughly 27 July, after moonset. ● Radiant near Skat in Aquarius. Use Fomalhaut and the Great Square of Pegasus to locate it. ● Australia and New Zealand: radiant climbs near overhead. Best from around 2am to first light. ● North America: radiant sits low in the south — fewer meteors, but a better chance of long-trailed earthgrazers. Same 2am-to-dawn window, local time. ● Sunspot region AR4493 has grown rapidly to beta-gamma-delta complexity — the highest classification — and has already fired three M-class flares in a day. Worth watching aurora alerts.

The Milky Way shines at its best on summer nights. Right now, it arcs across the east as the sky gets fully dark, and passes high overhead later on. Under dark skies, it looks like a hazy band of light. That band outlines the disk of our home galaxy. So for the astronomers who study the Milky Way Galaxy, it’s the go-zone – there’s lots to look at. But for those who study other galaxies, it’s been the no-go zone. In fact, it’s called the Zone of Avoidance, because it’s hard to see anything through it. The main problem is giant clouds of dust scattered throughout the galaxy. The dust absorbs visible light. Depending on which part of the disk you look through, in fact, the clouds can block more than 99 percent of the light from objects behind them. The other problem is that the Milky Way is crowded – millions upon millions of stars everywhere you look. So when you look into the band of the Milky Way, it’s hard to know whether you’re seeing a star or gas cloud in the galaxy or something beyond it. Fortunately, some wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye do get through: infrared light and radio waves. The infrared is best seen from space, but the radio can be turned in by giant antennas on the ground. Galaxies typically emit more of both of those forms of energy than individual stars do – important ways to avoid problems from the Zone of Avoidance. More about the Milky Way tomorrow.

The Big Bang theory is essential for understanding dark matter because the early universe was incredibly smooth, yet it evolved into the "clumpy" universe of galaxies we see today. Only additional gravity from dark matter can explain this rapid formation. Matter is categorized as baryonic (normal atoms) or non-baryonic. Based on Big Bang nucleosynthesis, there is not enough baryonic matter to account for the universe's gravity, requiring a new kind of particle. Albert Bosmaused radio astronomy to confirm that galaxy rotation curves remain flat even further out in hydrogen gas clouds. Early candidates like neutrinos were ruled out because they are "hot" (fast-moving) and would prevent small-scale clumping. Consequently, scientists shifted focus toward Cold Dark Matter (CDM), which consists of slower, more massive particles that fit the observed evolution of the universe. (3/8)
We've known about the existence of galaxies for about a hundred years, but how well do we actually know the extragalactic universe? In today's episode, we dive deep on the earliest galaxies in the universe. Sanika covers her first bite on paradoxical galaxies that seem to be the deadest where we expect them to be alivest, and Shashank shows us a source of hidden mass in ancient galaxies that for once isn't dark matter.

Paul Halpern describes how inspired by a horror movie's looped narrative, Hoyle developed the "Steady State" theory, proposing a "creation field" where matter continuously fills gaps as galaxies drift apart. A major breakthrough occurred when Hoyle predicted a specific energy state for carbon-12, explaining how life-essential elements form in dying stars. Gamow conceptualized "Ylem" as the universe's original substance, though he disliked Hoyle's derisive "Big Bang" nickname — a debate culminating in 1964 when Penzias and Wilson accidentally discovered the cosmic radio "hiss," providing definitive evidence for the Big Bang. (3)FEBRUARY 1958
The Coma galaxy cluster is like a cosmic iceberg. What you see is impressive. But what you don’t see is even more impressive. The cluster is centered more than 300 million light-years away, and it spans 25 million light-years. It contains thousands of individual galaxies. Many of them are far bigger and heavier than our own galaxy, the Milky Way. But in the 1930s, German astronomer Fritz Zwicky found something odd. He measured the motions of individual galaxies within the cluster. They were zipping along much too fast to be held in check by the gravity of the visible galaxies – they should all fly away from each other. Zwicky concluded that something else was acting as a sort of gravitational “glue.” He called it dark matter – matter that couldn’t be seen, but that exerted a gravitational pull on the visible matter around it. It took decades to confirm that finding. And even today, we don’t know what dark matter really is. The leading idea says it’s some type of subatomic particle. But despite many years of searching, no such particle has been found. All we know for sure is that dark matter accounts for about 85 percent of all the matter in the universe – the vast hidden depths of the cosmic iceberg. The Coma Cluster is in Coma Berenices. The constellation is in the east at nightfall. It’s above brilliant Arcturus, the brightest star of Bootes, and to the lower left of Leo, the lion. Script by Damond Benningfield

2. Headline: Galactic Stability and the Proof of the Halo Guest Author:Govert Schilling Summary: The discussion shifts to Jeremiah Ostriker, who theorized that spherical halos of unseen matter are necessary to keep rotating galaxies stable. Vera Rubin and Kent Ford provided observational proof by discovering that galactic rotation curves do not "dwindle down" at the edges. Today, the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile continues mapping this distribution. (2)NOVEMBER 1931
8. Headline: Speculative Theories and the Dark Crisis Guest Author:Govert Schilling Summary: The discovery of galaxies lacking dark matter challenges both standard models and MOND. Speculative theories now explore primordial black holes, fuzzy dark matter, and Erik Verlinde's idea of emergent gravity. Some fresh thinking even suggests that Modified Newtonian Dynamics and the standard cold dark matter model might eventually work in concert. (8)SEPTEMBER 1932

"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see." There's something about space that captures the imagination of scientists and artists alike. Just ask astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson and astronomer Brian May (yes, THAT Brian May, guitarist of Queen). In their new book Islands in Infinity: Galaxies 3-D, they turn flat images of the galaxies to three dimensional spacescapes that leap off the page. Host Flora Lichtman talks with Ward-Thompson and May about the enchanting nature of space and the collision of art and astronomy. And yes, they get into the music. Guests: Dr. Brian May is an astronomer and the guitarist of Queen. Dr. Derek Ward-Thompson is an astrophysicist at the University of Lancashire in England.
