Franklin Foer, staff writer at The Atlantic, talks about his Atlantic feature story on the implications of NASA's reliance on Elon Musk's SpaceX.

Luke Jerram creates spectacular art installations all over the world. He reached millions of people with his work Play Me, I'm Yours, inviting anyone to make music on the 2,000 pianos he had placed on the streets of more than 70 cities. He has also created large sculptures of the moon, the planet Mars and the sun, which were suspended in spaces like cathedrals so that visitors could admire the celestial bodies up close. Julian May follows the creation of the Jerram's latest work, made for Bradford, this year's UK City of Culture. A Good Yarn plays on the double meaning of the word “yarn” – both a length of thread and a story. It looks like a giant multi-coloured ball of wool, three metres high, which will be rolled through the city's streets. Luke Jerram collaborates with Bradford residents to create a kilometre-long rope, made from woollen fabric donated by the public or from second-hand shops. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from In the Studio, exploring the processes of the world's most creative people.

Whether it's production runs, flow of product, financing needs, finding equity, resolving customer issues, or clearing work blockages, people build up a mirage of rules and explain away why they can't get through this problem. What they lack is a sort of freedom mindset - a creative approach - to be able to chart a path toward solving the problem. Some people are stuck finding the lights for their facility. Others are on their way to Mars. There are less rules than you think.

This week, Mars enters the diplomatic sign of Libra and mixes it up with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Aquarius Full Moon calls for a review of social alliances and Leo New Moon goals. And in the spirit of this very Mars-oriented week, a listener question about the Mars return. Plus: Powering through, underdogs, and cats that want what they want!

Aug. 6, 4:23 PM PDT, through Sep. 22, 2025), which is not exactly its favorite sign. The themes of Mars in Libra are about balancing action with ideals and making sure that what you do reflects what you believe, especially when it comes to fairness, justice, or the people that you care about. [3:38] Mars trines Uranus (Fri. Aug. 8, 11:45 AM PDT) at 1º07' Libra-Gemini. This combination can spark breakthroughs, but also impulsiveness and recklessness. Assert yourself, but be cautious. [5:45] On Fri. Aug. 8 (7:52 PM PDT), Mars opposes Saturn at 1°20' Libra-Aries. This can bring resistance, but don't give up. Use this aspect to take one small strategic action that can help move you forward. [8:20] Moon Report! The Aquarius Full Moon is on Sat. Aug. 9 (12:55 AM PDT), 16º59' Aquarius-Leo. Ask yourself how you can influence the world in a meaningful way. Gather with those who share your ideals to further your Leo New Moon creative goals. The Sabian symbol for this Full Moon is 17 Aquarius: A watchdog standing guard, and the Sun is on the symbol 17 Leo, A non-vested church choir. Find your people, raise your voice, and shape the future together. [12:09] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the Full Moon (awareness point) in an LPFC that began with the New Moon on Feb. 9, 2024, at 20º40' Aquarius. The First Quarter Moon (first action point) of this LPFC was on Nov. 8, 2024, at 17º19' Aquarius. The Last Quarter Moon (final action point) is on May 9, 2026, at 19º14' Aquarius. [13:52] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On Tue, Aug. 5 (8:29 AM PDT), the Moon in Sagittarius squares Mars in Virgo. It's VOC for 1 hour 35 minutes, then enters Capricorn (10:04 AM PDT). Get in the habit of thinking before you speak. [15:27] On Wed. Aug. 6 (10:40 AM PDT), the Moon in Capricorn opposes Jupiter in Cancer. The Moon will be VOC for 1 day, 7 hours, and 38 minutes (!!!) before it enters Aquarius on Aug. 7 (6:18 PM PDT). During this VOC Moon period, monitor how you cope when things get difficult. Are there more effective tactics you could use? [17:28] On Sat. Aug. 9 (12:55 AM PDT), the Moon in Aquarius opposes the Sun in Leo. It's VOC for 22 hours 55 minutes (!!!), then enters Pisces (11:50 PM PDT). Evaluate what you want versus what society wants. Consider how your desires and needs can affect the others around you and also help you clarify what you want. [18:49] Mars opposes Neptune (Sat. Aug. 9, 3:13 PM PDT) at 1°50' Libra- Aries. Slow down, soften your approach, and consider how to use Mars energy on behalf of others. Bring spiritual and artistic influences into daily routines. Practice flexibility; get rest, reflect, and connect. Think less about what you can achieve and more about what you can contribute. [21:35] On Sun. Aug. 10 (5:29 AM PDT), Mars trines Pluto at 2º12' Libra-Aquarius. This is a powerful aspect for pushing through limits, especially in the areas of partnership, justice and progress. But if your efforts don't seem to make a difference, resist the temptation to just give up. What matters most is how you handle your weakness, your anger, and your frustration. [24:09] Listener Emily asks about the Mars Return. [28:47] If you'd like to have a question answered on a future episode, leave a message of one minute or less at speakpipe.com/bigskyastrologypodcast or email april (at) bigskyastrology (dot) com; put “Podcast Question” in the subject line.

In this special episode, I revisit and remaster an Akashic transmission originally channeled in 2022 during my postpartum rite of passage. I wasn't planning to re-air this one... but under Mercury Retrograde in Leo (and a sky full of retrograde planets), I received a clear tug from Spirit: go back and listen. So I did. And the message? Still medicine. We're in the Lion's Gate Portal, a time of solar illumination, spiritual re-coding, and quantum remembrance. This episode begins with an energetic update rooted in ancient Sirius wisdom, Egyptian cosmology, and the astrological weather of August 2025 ~ before flowing into the remastered channeled message. Inside the Akashic field, we're reminded: ✨ The question is the answer ✨ The unveiling is already underway ✨ You knew all along, beloved Tune in to receive this soul-mirroring ceremony, and stay until the end for two potent invitations if you feel called to deepen your path through personalized sessions.

Welcome to the Celestial Insights Podcast, the show that brings the stars down to Earth! Each week, astrologer, coach, and intuitive Celeste Brooks of Astrology by Celeste will be your guide. Her website is astrologybyceleste.com.  

Mars appears to have a shadow this evening – a faint star with one of the more lyrical names in the heavens: Zavijava. Mars looks like a fairly bright orange star, quite low in the west as darkness falls. Zavijava is almost touching it. It’s a good bit fainter than Mars, though, so you might want to use binoculars to enhance the view. Zavijava is a pretty close neighbor. According to the Gaia space telescope, it’s just 35.88 light-years away. Only a few dozen stars that are visible to the unaided eye are closer. The star’s name comes from an Arabic phrase that means “corner of the barking dog.” But Zavijava isn’t related to any of the dogs in the night sky. Instead, it’s one of the brighter stars of the constellation Virgo, so it’s also known as Beta Virginis. Zavijava is a little bit bigger and heavier than the Sun. It’s younger than the Sun by roughly one-and-a-half billion years. But because of its greater heft, it’s already nearing the end of the main phase of life. Before long – on the astronomical timescale – it’ll undergo a series of changes in its core. That will make the star much bigger and brighter. It will remain in that phase for hundreds of millions of years. Over the past few decades, astronomers have reported the discovery of several possible planets around the star. None of those reports has stood up. But the search continues – for worlds orbiting Zavijava. Script by Damond Benningfield

Your monthly astrology forecast for August 2025 is a special treat because Laura and I had the opportunity to record in person! August also brings major astro-themes and ah-hah moments: from the end of Mercury retrograde to one of the best aspects of the year (when Venus and Jupiter come together in Cancer), to some tests and challenges when. Mars opposes Saturn, this month brings change, growing pains, and progress. Timestamps:July Recap 0:00August Forecast 18:11❤️‍

In this episode of Spellbreakers, host Matt Trump dives into the cosmic oddity of “3I/Atlas,” the third confirmed interstellar object to enter our solar system. Equal parts science lecture and poetic musing, Matt explains what makes this object so unique, from its hyperbolic trajectory and close pass between Earth and Mars to the significance of its discovery by the ATLAS observatory system, ironically, on the 27th anniversary of the film Armageddon. Along the way, Matt unpacks the rigorous observational science behind astronomical discoveries, celebrates the discipline's historical roots, and firmly defends astronomy's legitimacy against skeptics. With humor, heartfelt appreciation for his own scientific training, and detailed breakdowns of orbits, brightness, and telescope methodology, Matt brings this extraordinary celestial visitor down to Earth. Spoiler: it's (probably) not aliens, but it's still pretty awesome.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we embark on a thrilling journey through the cosmos, exploring the potential for life on Mars, a remarkable discovery in the outer solar system, and the crucial mapping of sulfur throughout our galaxy.Searching for Life on MarsA new study reveals that thick layers of clay on Mars could indicate stable environments conducive to life billions of years ago. Researchers have identified that these clay deposits likely formed in standing bodies of water, providing the right conditions for chemical weathering and potentially supporting ancient life. The findings suggest that the balance between water and carbon cycles on Mars may explain the planet's geological history and the absence of carbonate rocks. Lead author Rhianna Moore discusses how these stable terrains could have fostered habitable conditions for extended periods, offering insights into the Red Planet's wet past.Discovery of 2020 VN40: A Distant Cosmic CompanionAstronomers have discovered a rare celestial body, 2020 VN40, located far beyond Neptune, moving in perfect synchronicity with the ice giant. This trans-Neptunian object orbits the sun once for every ten orbits Neptune completes, providing new insights into the dynamics of the outer solar system. The discovery, reported in the Planetary Science journal, enhances our understanding of how distant objects interact with Neptune's gravity and offers clues about the solar system's evolution.Mapping Sulfur in the Milky WayA groundbreaking study has mapped the distribution of sulfur across the Milky Way, an essential element for life. Utilizing the CRISM X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy mission, scientists have directly measured sulfur in both its gaseous and solid forms within the interstellar medium. The findings shed light on sulfur's role in the cosmos and its potential implications for understanding life's distribution throughout the galaxy. This research marks a significant step in answering fundamental questions about the building blocks of life in the universe.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Planetary Science Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2632-3338CRISM Missionhttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/asteroids/overview/crism.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

Hello everyone! This week, we will look at the month of August.Bhagavad Gita 18.47: It is better to do one's own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do another's dharma, even though perfectly. Perhaps the most influential transits of the month are Venus in Gemini, Mars oppose Saturn, and the Sun entering its own sign of Leo... Mars in Virgo will bring in a grounding energy and will shift our focus to health, daily rituals, and practical service - on a personal and global level. It's a powerful time for healing the body, mind, and spirit. It is also powerful for clearing clutter and refining what's not working.It is a beautiful time to offer service to others by offering time, energy, or resources to what we care about. There will be a global call to action concerning humanitarian efforts and addressing humanitarian crises. Mars and Saturn sit in opposition, bringing tension between discipline and action, restriction and willpower. This can cause a "stop-go" energy. We may struggle in knowing how to direct our energy or how to use our energy wisely. It's possible we experience limitations internally or externally. In this podcast, we discuss practical ways to move through this period with grace and strategy.Venus in Gemini adds a playful, intellectual essence to our relationships, highlighting the beauty of platonic love. We explore how spiritually enriching our soul-deep friendships can be.On a collective level, issues related to water, flooding, or natural disasters may continue to be prominent. We're reminded of nature's force and the need to care for both the planet and our own internal tides.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Hello and welcome back to the show! Today I join with the Occult Rejects to discuss the dark history of the red planet. Our guest, Brian Cory Dobbs shows us how Mars was once a blue planet and how NASA has tried to cover up the intriguing past of this planet. Enjoy!

This is your daily horoscope for Saturday, August 2, 2025, and the most important aspects of the day:Moon in Scorpio sextile Mars in Virgo (6pm PT)Moon enters Sagittarius (11pm PT)

My guest today is a woman who listens to stone the way others listen to music, hearing the layered rhythms, ancient memory, and hidden messages beneath our feet.Dr. Marcia Bjornerud is a structural geologist, writer, and professor at Lawrence University whose work explores the physics of earthquakes, the architecture of mountains, and the deep time story of our living planet. She is the author of several beloved books for popular audiences, including Reading the Rocks, Timefulness, Geopedia, and most recently, Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks, which won the 2025 John Burroughs Medal for Natural History Writing.In today's conversation, we explore Earth as an animate, dynamic system, one that has been reinventing itself for over 4 billion years, leaving records of her great experiments in stone. We dive into Marcia's life's work of decoding that record and into her belief that rocks are not inert, they are narrators of Earth's evolving story. Marcia invites us to understand the language of stone, to foster a “geo-centric” worldview that reconnects us with the rhythms and relationships of this planet, and to step into a deeper kinship with the Earth as home.We also speak about her travels to remote parts of the world, such as Svalbard, Norway, her reflections on the Anthropocene, how thinking like a geologist can help save the world, and what she may have learned from Indigenous wisdom traditions in her dialogue with land and rock.This is a conversation about time, transformation, and the quiet, enduring truths that live in stone.Episode Highlights:02:30 – Dr. Bjornerud's early fascination with rocks from glacial deposits in Wisconsin.04:00 – Structuring her latest book Turning to Stone around autobiographical chapters, each linked to a specific rock.06:00 – Defining the term "timefulness" and how seeing in geologic time alters our perception of the present.07:30 – Rocks as palimpsests: ancient stories overwritten but still traceable.08:45 – Rocks as verbs, not nouns: dynamic participants in Earth's ongoing transformation.10:30 – Witnessing the radical evolution of geoscience: from fixed continents to dynamic tectonics and complex climate models.13:00 – Paradigm shifts: from denying catastrophes to accepting extinction events like the one that ended the dinosaurs.16:00 – Ice age floods and possible global correlations to catastrophic water events.18:00 – Reflections on flat-earthers, epistemology, and failures in science education.20:30 – Dr. Bjornerud's spiritual and emotional connection with rocks and their silent companionship.22:30 – Working in rapidly changing Arctic landscapes and observing real-time geology in motion.24:00 – The language of stone: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks as dialects.26:00 – What would change if Western culture viewed the Earth as animate rather than mechanical?29:00 – Critiquing techno-optimism and misplaced hubris in dreams of colonizing Mars.32:00 – Hidden infrastructures of rock: aquifers, basalt weathering, and climate regulation.35:00 – Collaborating with Indigenous scientists and tribal legal teams to protect ecosystems.38:00 – Thinking like a geologist: embracing humility, interconnectedness, and a long-term perspective.40:00 – Letting go of narcissism and rediscovering our place in Earth's continuum.42:00 – Why colonizing Mars is scientifically implausible and ethically evasive.45:00 – Message for the seventh generation: the Earth abides—if we listen.47:00 – Closing reflection: stone as story, Earth as ancestor, and ourselves as part of a resilient and sacred cycle of becoming.Resources mentioned:Books by Dr. Marcia BjornerudTurning to Stone – https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781324093494Timefulness: How...

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 rise of Elon—and why he is still involved with our government—has everything to do with the dimming of America's one-time crown jewel, NASA. We are now dependent on his rockets and his satellites because Obama and the U.S. government saved SpaceX. Of course, Elon's hypocrisy knows no bounds, because when he had the power, he quickly worked to dismantle the very same government that came to his rescue. The Atlantic's Franklin Foer explains how NASA engineered its own decline, as well as Elon's prophecy about becoming the engineer savior who colonizes Mars. Plus, Zelensky's giant misstep on corruption, and how humanitarian groups need to get back into Gaza to flood it with food.

Buckle up for a mind-bending journey to Mars on Strange Planet! Forget the barren rock NASA describes—this Mars hides secrets in plain sight. Square walls stretching a mile, carved with uncanny precision. Right angles etched in red dust. Structures that scream ancient fortresses, captured in NASA's own images. Are these geological quirks, or the ruins of a lost civilization? Researcher George J. Haas, armed with a bombshell study from the Journal of Astrobiology, joins us to unravel the mystery. Is this the first archaeological site beyond Earth? Tune in and question everything. GUEST: George J. Haas, founder of The Cydonia Institute (1991), is a trailblazing researcher of Martian anomalies. A member of the Pre-Columbian Society of the University of Pennsylvania, Haas co-authored The Cydonia Codex and The Martian Codex, and authored The Great Architects of Mars. His latest paper in the Journal of Astrobiology challenges NASA's narrative, proposing ancient structures on Mars. An artist, curator, and former director of the Sculptors Association of New Jersey, Haas blends art and science to decode the Red Planet's secrets, sparking global debate about a lost Martian civilization.

We discuss the largest black hole merger observed to date, between two black holes that are in the so-called forbidden mass range. They must have been created by some ancient merger of other black holes themselves. It's black holes everywhere you look these days. Closer to home, we take a look at Europa's weird Chaos terrain and new insights on how Mars lost its atmosphere. We also get a shout out from Audrey's dog.

It's a brave question to put to three astronauts live on stage but it's a risk we are prepared to take. Recorded in front of a live audience at the UK Space Conference in Manchester, European Space Agency astronauts Tim Peake, Meganne Christian and John McFall discuss the future of human space exploration. Could robots or AI take their place? Will a trip to the Moon be as common as flying across the Atlantic? And can humans be trusted to not mess with Mars? Host Izzie Clarke asks the big questions, producer Richard Hollingham threatens the audience, and (soft sceptic) Dr Robert Massey is prepared to be unpopular as they contemplate the role of astronauts in the 21st century.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into the depths of cosmic mysteries and groundbreaking discoveries, including the enigmatic Long Period Transient and the stellar companion of Betelgeuse, alongside exciting findings from Mars.Unraveling the Long Period TransientAstronomers have uncovered a new cosmic phenomenon, ASCAP J1832-0911, which emits both radio and X-ray pulses every 44 minutes for just two minutes at a time. This first-ever detection of a Long Period Transient has left scientists puzzled about its nature and origins. Lead author Dr Andy Wang from Curtin University discusses the potential theories, including the possibility of a magnetar or a binary star system, while emphasizing the need for further observations to unravel this cosmic mystery.Betelgeuse's Stellar CompanionIn a remarkable discovery, astronomers have identified a stellar companion orbiting the red supergiant Betelgeuse. This pre-main sequence star, approximately one and a half times the mass of the Sun, resides within Betelgeuse's outer atmosphere. As Betelgeuse approaches the end of its life, this companion is also on a collision course with destiny, likely spiraling into Betelgeuse within the next 10,000 years. This finding could shed light on the periodic brightness changes observed in similar red supergiant stars.Mars Perseverance Rover's New DiscoveriesNASA's Perseverance Rover continues its exploration of Jezero Crater, uncovering unusual rock formations that may reveal significant geological history. The rover is investigating an intriguing contact area where clay-bearing units meet olivine-rich rocks, potentially preserving evidence of ancient intrusive processes. Despite challenges in studying these formations, mission managers remain determined to unlock the secrets they hold about Mars' past.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357NASA's Perseverance Rover Missionhttps://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 Space Time series 28 episode 90 for broadcast on 28 July 202500:47 Long Period Transient emitting radio and X ray pulses every 44 minutes07:48 Astronomers have discovered what appears to be a companion star in binary orbit12:30 NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover is continuing its exploration of Jetro Crater15:00 New study links early smartphone use to poorer mental health later in life17:39 There are new reports of Bigfoot activity in the Pacific Northwest state of Washington
