This time we return to a series we began in 2015, and continued in 2020 and 2021. Yes, spacefans, it's another transmission in our seminal electronic music series—"COSMIC ELECTRONIC 4." It's seminal because we've been obsessed with the genre since 1973, but didn't get around to naming a program after it ‘til decades later. As I said then, “The analog synthesizer allowed musicians to design entirely new sounds and created a new kind of spatial imagery that evoked the vastness of cosmic space. It could be cold and dark, warm and romantic, dramatic or contemplative—and it came to be called "spacemusic." On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a deep space journey to newly discovered star fields, thanks to the awesome JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE — on a program called "COSMIC ELECTRONIC 4." Music is by MARTIN STÜRTZER, STARTERRA, DREAMSTATE LOGIC, JIM OTTAWAY, COUSIN SILAS & MICHAEL BRÜCKNER, KEVIN BRAHENY FORTUNE, and KLAUS SCHULZE.

“I welcome every noise around me. No matter what it is: a duck, a fish, a deer farting. [...] You invite it all. And [...] this is [...] when you realize [that] every inch of this planet is occupied and we are sharing and coexisting with other species - [so] how can you ever be alone?” In this edition of Earth.fm podcast Wind Is the Original Radio, curator Melissa Pons speaks to Serge Bulat, a multidisciplinary artist whose work - which spans and hybridizes music, exhibitions, immersive games, radio, field recording, and psychological installations - explores the edges of performance, sound, perception, and identity. Serge is from a Moldovan town divided from Ukraine by a river, with family hailing from both worlds. For this reason, borders are “a prominent subject in [his] work”, which seeks to question topics around unity, differences and similarities, and the utopian aspiration of finding “ways to live in a borderless world”. Earlier this year, he released Phonomundi: Selected Recordings of Heritage Sites and Traditions 2017-2024, an album which draws upon years of recording, sharing, and contributing to projects, causes, and stories close to his heart. Phonomundi is also about engaging with “our absolutely disastrous path away from respecting our ears and respecting our culture and respecting our environment”. Against a backdrop of woozy compositions by Serge, featuring nature soundscape recordings, he and Melissa discuss the trials of having a “noisy” mind, which feels like “war in your head” and means that “it's hard to stop the thinking process” - but which can also lead recordists to “forget about [them]self and [...] start thinking about communities, people that are affected, and [how] that [can be] such an ego drop”. Serge also talks about how ‘now' is illusory, and his “weird relationship with time”: “I guess it might be some form of synesthesia, because I feel time; I feel its thickness and I feel its qualities.” The flow of time is “one of the driving forces behind [him] doing what [he's] doing”, while field recording can provide “the nowest now that there can ever be”. He describes how, after experiencing difficulties with conventional mediation, he managed to develop his own system of meditation around listening, where “time stops [...] [and] you find that serenity and that absolute calmness and, for me, this is when I stop the noise”. As he says, “We're all pieces of [...] a bigger body and we're [...] made of the same substance. [...] I always struggle to put anything like that in words [...]. It's easier for me to put it in music. [...] This is what music and sound does [...] and words don't.” Together, Serge and Melissa also address topics including: The relevance of creative work in the face of the climate catastrophe and alarming political developments across the world - including how music, as a precursor to language, can be “a shortcut [...] to somebody's mind, heart and soul”. While also acknowledging the necessity of “dig[ging] deeper [to] understand the issues [with which] we're living” Wanting to make work of significance despite “sonic pollution, [...] over-tourism, over-consumerism, weird politics that make zero sense when it comes to preserving [...] or nurturing stuff that matters and makes us us” - and especially in light of the fact that everything we know is at risk of “disappearing just by [the] pressing [of] one button” Learning to love silence. As Serge says, “We need to reset our hearing. [...] I feel like [silence] makes the ear function better” How it is possible to “feel and hear” bees' moods from the frequencies of their buzzing, and how bee therapy (‘apitherapy') - known since the time of Ancient Egypt - can improve anxiety, depression, and even respiratory conditions. “What bl[ows] my mind [about them]”, says Serge, is their “self-sufficiency, community, [and the way that they can] solv[e] a crisis [by] relying on each other” Serge's experience of an immersive exhibition in Kraków, Into the Darkness, which replicates what it's like to not be able to see, with blind guides providing insights about their lives, and the equivalence of this to animals replying on different senses than our own (such as spiders and vibrations, or snakes using infrared thermal radiation) The appeal of twilight, “when everything starts becoming blurry” and takes on the quality of a dream, and “the thrill of [darkness] and [the way that] [Serge's] imagination sometimes takes [him to other] places”. Listen to the whole interview for all this and much more (including the raw terror of Bob from Twin Peaks!). Read more on the recent discoveries from the James Webb Telescope. If you enjoyed this candid and wide-ranging conversation, you can follow Serge on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, SoundCloud, and Apple Music.

For centuries, humans have wrestled with the mysteries of the cosmos, from the invisible dark matter and dark energy that shape the universe, to hidden dimensions, parallel universes, and the ultimate fate of all cosmic structures. Such questions force us to consider not only the physics of the universe, but the possibility that non-human intelligence—whether biological or artificial—could exist far beyond Earth, or perhaps also closer to home. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at some of the greatest modern mysteries of the cosmos, as well as the question of whether there is life elsewhere in the universe. If so, could it have already created its own artificial intelligence, and might such alien AI have evolved to superintelligent levels, and could some phenomena we observe today, such as UAP, be linked to such entities? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.

Could the latest cosmic sensation, 3I/Atlas, be the New Jerusalem as mentioned in the Holy Bible? Images from the James Webb Telescope reveal that this interstellar object is a shape-shifter, appearing in light as geometric and ranging from a pyramid to a curious cube formation. Some ancient texts depict that the future arrival of a deep space artifact is a large cube the size of a city or a pyramid that will position itself over the Earth and reveal the true messiah of the cosmos. This may show the spirituality of Christ's salvation and the materiality of geometric and physical forces. It appears to bridge the divide that many feel separates science from religion.

John and I introduced Megan to our Hotel Mars program for a discussion of her work with dormant blackholes and more. Megan presented research on tidal disruption events (TDEs) observed using the James Webb Space Telescope, which has revealed previously dormant black holes becoming active and providing insights into their environmental effects. The discussion covered the physics of TDEs, including their impact on surrounding gas and dust, as well as the challenges of studying dormant black holes and their relationship with galaxy size. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the limitations of current telescopes, the importance of time-domain astronomy, and the potential impact of the Golden Dome project on the space industry.

The supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is never quiet – it’s constantly popping off. The black hole is more than four million times the mass of the Sun. It grabs passing gas clouds, asteroids, and other objects. It also sponges up gas from the “winds” produced by nearby stars. This forms a swirling disk around the black hole. As material spirals inward, it gets extremely hot. Astronomers watched the black hole with James Webb Space Telescope. They found that it produces several bright outbursts every day, with each one lasting an hour or longer. Between these outbursts there were fainter flares that usually lasted less than a minute. The flares may have different causes. Shorter flares may be caused by turbulence in the disk, which squeezes and heats pockets of gas. Particles bounce around inside these pockets, heating up and producing outbursts of energy. The longer flares may explode when magnetic fields twist together, then snap. That produces big outbursts of particles and energy like the giant flares on the Sun. The astronomers hope to take an even longer look at the system, helping them learn more about the constant flare-ups from the Milky Way’s monster black hole. The black hole is in Sagittarius. The constellation is in the south on summer evenings, and forms the outline of a teapot. The black hole is immersed in the “steam” above the spout – 26,000 light-years away.

This is an interview with me on The Last Easy Mile podcast with Josh Farahi. Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFRZvPc3U&ab_channel=TheLastEasyMilePodcast THE LAST EASY MILE: https://linktr.ee/TheLastEasyMilePodcast In this episode, Fraser Cain—founder of Universe Today and co-host of Astronomy Cast—shares why space still matters. From watching meteor showers with your kids to seeing Saturn's rings through binoculars in a city, Fraser offers practical ways to reconnect with awe. He reflects on raising science-minded kids, his love of tabletop RPGs, and how parents can create deeper imaginative experiences than screens can provide. We also talk about the James Webb Space Telescope, the Mars rovers, and the Vera Rubin Observatory, which will capture time-lapse images of the sky. Fraser warns against the growing distrust of experts, advocating for humility, critical thinking, and Carl Sagan's “baloney detection toolkit.”
