In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking discoveries and exciting celestial events that illuminate our understanding of the universe.Earliest Supernova Ever DetectedAstronomers have achieved a remarkable milestone by detecting the earliest supernova ever observed, dating back to a mere 730 million years after the Big Bang. Using the powerful Webb Space Telescope, this supernova, cataloged as GRB250314A, emitted a gamma ray burst that has shattered previous distance records. Lead author Andrew Levin shares insights into how this discovery provides a glimpse into the universe when it was only 5% of its current age, revealing surprising similarities with modern supernovae despite the vast differences in their epochs.Liquid Water on Mars: New EvidenceNew seismic data from NASA's Mars InSight lander suggests that liquid water could still exist beneath the Martian surface, potentially providing a habitat for microbial life. The analysis of marsquakes has revealed boundaries in the Martian crust that indicate the presence of water-filled cracks, offering compelling evidence that life may persist on the Red Planet. We discuss the implications of these findings and the methodologies used to analyze the Martian subsurface.The Great Geminids Meteor Shower of 2025The annual Geminid meteor shower is reaching its peak, presenting stargazers with the chance to witness up to 100 meteors per hour under optimal conditions. Unlike many meteor showers that originate from comets, the Geminids are unique as they come from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. Dr. Robert Massey provides tips on how to best observe this spectacular celestial event, emphasizing the importance of dark skies and the naked eye for optimal viewing.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstronomy and AstrophysicsBritish Medical JournalNature CommunicationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) New clues suggest that liquid water could still exist on Mars today(00:00:48) Astronomers have detected the earliest supernova ever seen using the Webb Space Telescope(00:05:10) New study based on seismic data suggests liquid water may still exist on Mars(00:09:12) The Geminids are visible between now and December 20th(00:13:10) New study finds coffee may slow down biological aging of people with mental illnesses

Historian Chrissie Senecal joined The Spark to explore how people throughout history have understood comets and meteors, especially long before modern science could explain what was happening in the sky. With the Geminid meteor shower lighting up December skies and holiday traditions top of mind, the conversation tied celestial events to seasonal stories, including legends surrounding the Star of Bethlehem. Senecal walked through what comets actually are, where they come from, and how ancient observers first recognized them as something different from stars or planets—often seeing them as omens or messages rather than natural objects. Cumberland County athletes rallied at Ace Pickleball Club in Enola, PA, pushing through a nonstop 48-hour pickleball match to break a world record—while each player competed for a different charity or cause.

Earth is about to have its December solstice. That means long, although cold, nights for northern sky watchers.Saturn's rings are coming more into view.Geminid meteors are still visible.And more.

People collect all kinds of things, from baseball cards to Persian rugs. Over the past 40 years, some NASA aircraft have collected dust – grains of dust from beyond Earth. Many of the collection efforts have taken place during meteor showers. That’s included the Geminid shower, which is at its peak tonight. A meteor shower takes place when Earth flies through a trail of particles that were shed by a comet or asteroid. Many of the particles burn up in the upper atmosphere, creating the streaks of light known as meteors. But many more grains are too small to burn up. They float down through the atmosphere. Some of them stop at a height of about 10 miles. And that’s where the research aircraft head. Once there, they open up small boxes that catch whatever is drifting along – pollen grains, parts of bugs, bits of volcanic ash, and even exhaust from rocket engines. Analysis reveals whether the captured particles are from Earth or from outside. The cosmic particles can then be tied to the meteor shower that was under way. And that can tell scientists about the shower’s parent body – a sample-return mission that never leaves Earth. The Geminids are in good view tonight. The meteors are visible from mid-evening on. At its best, the shower might produce a hundred or so meteors per hour. And you don’t need to look in a particular direction to see them – just look up and wait for the fireworks.

A couple of thousand years ago, a large asteroid or comet might have been blasted apart. And we’re still seeing the fireworks from its destruction – as the Geminid meteor shower, which will reach its peak tomorrow night. Most meteor showers flare to life when Earth passes through the orbital path of a comet. The comet sheds bits of rock and dirt, which spread out along its orbit. As Earth flies through this trail of debris, the solid grains ram into the atmosphere, forming the glowing streaks known as meteors. But the Geminids are a bit odd. For one thing, their parent body – 3200 Phaethon – appears to be an asteroid or a “dead” comet, not an active comet. For another, the meteor stream contains way more material than we’d expect to see from a body the size of Phaethon. A couple of years ago, scientists came up with a possible explanation. They used observations by a Sun-orbiting spacecraft that passed through the meteor stream. They then used computer models to calculate a possible cause for the stream. They concluded that a larger body could have been destroyed. That produced Phaethon and a couple of other large remnants. But it also produced a giant cloud of dust and pebbles. So while some of the material that makes up the Geminids comes from Phaethon, a lot of it also comes from that cloud – shrapnel that makes fireworks in Earth’s night sky. More about the Geminids tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Astronomers say conditions could make for an especially striking show of the Geminid meteor shower this weekend, if weather permits. The meteors will be visible all over the world, though the Northern Hemisphere will get the best views. Alan Giltinan, Centre Manager at Blackrock Castle Observatory, briefed Rachel on this rare celestial event.

Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn, who was accused of killing campers Carol Clay and Russell Hill, has had his murder conviction overturned. He was found guilty last year of murdering Clay and acquitted of Hill’s death. But now, in a bombshell development, the Court of Appeal has ruled there were serious irregularities in his trial - so serious they may have caused a miscarriage of justice... In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Criminologist Xanthe Mallett, who explains what these latest developments mean and what’s next for Greg Lynn, who has always maintained his innocence. Headlines: The Prime Minister has asked Australia’s independent expenses watchdog for advice on taxpayer-funded travel entitlements, the woman who was raped by Tom Silvagni has made an emotional victim impact statement in court, and Australians are in for one last celestial show of 2025, with the Geminid meteor shower set to peak this weekend.

What were the coolest science and sci-fi events in the LIUniverse in 2024, and what's in store for us in 2025? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome three members of our production team: Leslie Mullen, our Executive Producer making her first on air appearance, Jon Barnes, our Editor, and Stacey Severn, our Social Media/Patreon Community Director, both of whom are familiar to longtime fans. But first, as always, we start with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the latest development in the dispute that astrophysicists call the “Hubble Tension.” Over the past 20 years, the two different methods of measuring the Hubble Constant, which is used to calculate the rate of universal expansion, have led to two different conclusions. Leslie points out that the universe isn't confused, we are, leading to a conversation about why accurate measurements matter in helping us expand our limited understanding. Then we begin our look back at the year in astronomy – or rather, our look up. Stacey takes us on a tour, from a Geminid meteor hitting the moon, to the spectacular aurora borealis visible in the Northeastern US, to Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, to, of course, the Great North American Eclipse. The team share their viewing experiences while Chuck explains the impact of solar max on both the eclipse and the auroras. Next, Jon Barnes is back to talk about “The Three-Body Problem” science fiction series on Netflix. He asks Chuck to explain what we really know about cosmic particles (aka cosmic rays), because, in the series, the aliens use sophons, a supercomputer combined with a photon, to communicate across long distances at or near the speed of light. You'll also hear about the recent detection of a surprisingly large number of very high energy cosmic rays that are hitting us right now. Our fan question comes from Pshemo on Patreon and concerns an experiment to measure the dynamics of a local system relative to spacetime by using light as a way of gauging the background nature of the universe. And if you think that sounds pretty geeky, it's nothing compared to the conversation between Allen, Chuck and Leslie that ensues, encompassing Einstein, the Michelson–Morley experiment, gravitational waves, LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and LISA. There's plenty more in this episode, including a discussion of the recent wave of drone sightings, their similarity to the past UFO sightings, and the likelihood that they are all explained by less exotic causes than aliens. Moving on to the coolest “identified flying objects” of 2024, Leslie tells us about the Europa Clipper, which launched in October. It will reach orbit around Jupiter in 6 years in order to search for alien life in the subsurface oceans of its icy moon Europa. Chuck reminds us all that NASA's Parker Solar Probe will make its closest approach to our Sun on Christmas Eve 2024. Finally, it's time for the team to share what they're looking forward to in 2025. Jon is psyched for “Mickey 17,” a film by director Bong Joon-ho about a clone on a space colony. Allen is excited for Rocket Lab's Venus Life Finder, the first private interplanetary space probe, which launches in January to search for organic compounds within Venus' atmosphere. Stacey is looking forward to Axiom Space's fourth mission to the ISS in 2025, an international trip to conduct scientific experiments commanded again by Peggy Whitson. Leslie is most excited for the discovery nobody is expecting, whatever that may be. And what is Chuck looking forward to most in 2025? The long-awaited start of scientific operations at the Vera Rubin Observatory, which will take a full picture of the sky every 30 seconds for ten years and deliver an unprecedented level of data for astronomers to feast upon!

Friday the 13th brings a bit of bad luck for skywatchers this year. The Geminid meteor shower is at its peak, and it’s generally one of the year’s best, with peak rates of more than a hundred meteors per hour. But the Moon is almost full, so it’ll overpower all but the brightest meteors. A meteor forms when a bit of debris from a comet or asteroid rams into the atmosphere at tens of thousands of miles per hour. That generates intense heat, so the particle burns up, leaving a streak of light. Most of the streaks vanish in a few seconds. But some of them leave “persistent meteor trains” – glowing trails that can last for a few minutes to more than an hour. A recent study says that most of these long-lived trains are formed by particles that pass deeper into the atmosphere. Scientists recorded thousands of meteors above New Mexico. They found that about five percent of meteors left a train that was visible for at least five minutes – a much higher fraction than in earlier studies. There wasn’t much correlation between the persistence of the train and either the speed or brightness of the meteor. But there was a correlation with the meteor’s altitude. Those that descended to about 55 miles were much more likely to create long-lasting trains. At that altitude, metals in the chunk of space debris may react with ozone in the atmosphere long after the meteor burns up – creating a glowing trail in the night sky. Script by Damond Benningfield

Wednesday briefing: COP28 climate deal; Biden impeachment inquiry vote; Andre Braugher; Geminid meteor shower; and moreRead today's briefing.

Global leaders agreed to a deal at Dubai's COP28 climate conference that would transition away from fossil fuels. Carbon capture and removal technology is one way to do that. But critics say the agreement doesn't go far enough. Grist's Naveena Sadasivam and Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd join us. And, Coast Guard agents off the coast of Florida are intercepting and detaining thousands of migrants including children traveling alone. Most of them are from Haiti.

A leisure complex in Tonbridge could be knocked down after it was deemed 'not fit for purpose'.Council bosses are looking at replacing the Angel Centre with a completely new building. Hear from leader Matt Boughton.Also in today's podcast, the Prime Minister has survived a vote on his Rwanda asylum policy.The bill's passed to the next stage with a majority of 43, but still has a number of hurdles to overcome. Hear what Dover's Natalie Elphicke had to say during a debate, and we've got reaction from Ashford's Damian Green.Medway is getting a share of £5 million of funding to bring historic buildings back to life.  The money will help the council take over dilapidated old sites between Rochester and Chatham and create valuable spaces for the community.Business owners in Whitstable have told the podcast they won't survive if plans to hike parking fees go ahead.The proposals by Canterbury City Council would see the hourly rate at the town's two main sites rise to £3.70.A petition against plans for a new bus route through Dover has been handed in to Parliament.700 people have signed it - urging the council to re-think the Fastrack proposals which pass an historic church.And, if the weather's ok you might see a meteor shower in Kent tonight.It's called Geminid and is one of the most active of the year with up to 100 meteors an hour.

If the sky is clear tonight, you can look up and marvel at the sight. The Geminid meteor shower peaks this week, and if you're lucky, you might see some of those shooting stars. Hilding Neilson is a professor and astronomer at Memorial University.

A reliable meteor shower is building toward its peak, on Wednesday night. There won't be any moonlight to spoil the show, so if you can get away from city lights, it should be a good display. And if you want some earlier action, try tonight — some meteor experts say we could get an extra sprinkling. The Geminid meteor shower occurs every December. That's when Earth zips through the orbital path of its parent asteroid, which sheds bits of rock and dirt as it orbits the Sun. Earth sweeps up some of this debris. It vaporizes as it hits the atmosphere, forming glowing streaks of light. At the shower's peak, it might produce a hundred or more meteors per hour. And while most meteor showers are best viewed well after midnight, the Geminids offer more generous hours — from about 10 p.m. until dawn. Best of all, the Moon will be just past new, so it won't interfere with the fireworks. There's a possibility of some bonus meteors tonight. Earth may pass through the path of Comet 46P/Wirtanen. It doesn't spawn a regular meteor shower, but it does occasionally provide a few sparks. Some calculations show that we could fly through a trail of its “comet dust” tonight. And even if we don't get those bonus flashes of light, we will get a few early Geminids — a prelude to the main event late Wednesday into early Thursday. Tomorrow: mapping our place in the vastness of the Milky Way.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Sunday, Dec. 10  Echo-Lit livens Charleston's West Side with art prints and literary tributes. The Geminid meteor shower peaks Dec. 14; head to a WV Dark Sky park for some amazing views. Relive your childhood at Snowshoe Mountain's tubing park…on today's daily304. #1 – From WV ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT – Located in the heart of Charleston's West Side, Echo-Lit LLC is a welcoming modern storefront adorned by a vivid mural of a young girl reading by candlelight in a West Virginia-themed hollow. Step inside, and you're greeted by a tapestry of art prints, literary excerpts and a trove of West Virginia-inspired treasures meticulously arranged along the walls. Jeanne Stevenson, the proud owner, embodies a fervor not just for art but for her home state. Her enthusiasm is palpable as she shares the robust support received from both state and federal entities to nurture her business. The journey wasn't solitary. Victoria Russo from the Charleston Area Alliance played a pivotal role by introducing Jeanne to Leslie Drake, Director of the U.S. Export Assistance Center and Caitlin Lizarraga, International Trade Manager for the West Virginia Department of Economic Development. This connection seeded opportunities and guidance crucial for Echo-Lit's expansion. Check out www.www.echo-lit.com to see some of the West Virginia-inspired artwork!

The 2023 Geminid meteor shower peaks in the evening of Dec. 14, with meteors also visible on Dec. 13. The Geminids are expected to produce up to 120 meteors per hour at a dark site. The waxing crescent Moon won't interfere with dark skies, making this year's shower good for viewing. The Geminids are one of the Northern Hemisphere's best showers. They're also visible from the Southern Hemisphere, just with fewer meteors.  The best way to watch a meteor shower is from a dark sky site, so it helps to get away from city lights as much as you can. In West Virginia, Watoga State Park, Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park and Calvin Price State Forest are officially designated Dark Sky parks. Visit  www.wvtourism.com/stars to learn more.

But its age-reversing effect is tubing's real appeal: The exhilaration of flying down a hill, grin frozen in place, elicits childish glee in anyone eight to eighty years old.  In West Virginia, the eight-lane snow tubing hill at Snowshoe Mountain's Coca-Cola Tube Park boasts a six-story elevation drop that's been delivering thrills amid chills since the late 1980s. And when the sun goes down, Galactic Tubing blasts the excitement level out of this world. Multicolored lights above the lanes wash each ride in a revolving rainbow that attracts bigger crowds than daylight tubing. While the park stays packed during all open hours, the tubing team keeps an eye on ticket numbers to minimize wait times. Visit www.wvtourism.com or www.wvstateparks.com to learn more about snow sports in Almost Heaven.

It's hard to think of something that's moving at 80,000 miles per hour as slow. But that's the case for Geminid meteors. The bits of rock that create the meteors are a good bit slower than those that form most other showers. And that's good for skywatchers — it means the meteors last a little longer than most others. The Geminids are expected to be at their best tomorrow night, peaking before dawn on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the Moon will be in view then, washing out the fainter meteors. But many of the Geminids are fairly bright, so the shower is worth a look. Geminids are spawned by what appears to be a dead comet. It's lost its ices, leaving only a rocky core. So it doesn't produce a tail when it gets close to the Sun, as active comets do. But it does shed grains of material along its orbit. Earth flies through this path every December. Or at least it does now. The shower was first seen in 1862, with not many “shooting stars.” The rate has gone up since then. So today, the Geminids produce one of the best showers of the year — 75 to a hundred meteors per hour. But that's under especially dark skies, with no moonlight to mess with the show. By the way, the shower's name comes from the constellation Gemini. That's the point where the meteors appear to “rain” into the atmosphere. But they can streak across any portion of the sky, so you don't have to look toward Gemini to see these bright slowpokes.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory
