There is a distinct kind of terror that only manifests when you find yourself trapped at midnight on a rural highway. We are talking about cornfields. Those endless green labyrinths specifically engineered to induce a state of primal panic in the human nervous system. In this episode, we push past the rustling stalks into a crack in reality. We track the bone-white, skeletal toddlers sprinting across isolated Illinois backroads; we take a smoke-break on the loading docks of a Minnesota cheese factory while jerky, robotic abominations dance out of the dark. We flee at full speed alongside a screaming woman in Indiana as a four-foot engine of pure evil pursues her. From red-eyed "corn demons" watching the country highways to blood-soaked, pale teenagers hitchhiking through a liminal void on Interstate 55, this is a dispatch from the edge of the field. Grab your flashlight, turn your jumper inside out to ward off the hostile Irish Fae, and pray your headlights don't die. Because out here, the crickets are dead silent, and the corn is a living wall closing in for the kill. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Creatures of the Corn! #creepstreetpodcast #comedypodcast #horrorpodcast #truecrime #supernatural #paranormal #UFOs

​The team of scientists at Northwestern University have discovered evidence of a powerful wind blowing from the Milky Way's central massive black hole called Sagittarius A. ​Northwestern's Mark Gorski, who co-led the study, says new observations allowed their scientists to see the wind's imprint for the first time. He says astrophysicists everywhere have been trying to find evidence of this black hole theory for 50 years.

The June 2026 planetary parade happens on June 17th, when five planets align in the night sky in a formation visible to the naked eye. No equipment needed, just a clear horizon and a few minutes after sunset. It’s a genuinely rare sight. But if you’re a woman in midlife, this particular planetary parade carries a resonance beyond astronomy. Each of the five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) symbolize a quality your inner authority needs. That includes clear thinking, self-worth, courage, expanded vision, and the wisdom only lived experience can build. That last one is the one most midlife women consistently underestimate in themselves. This post is about the parade and what it reflects back to you. Why the June Planetary Parade Stands Out While planetary alignments happen throughout the year, there’s something undeniably captivating about seeing them all at once. It’s as if the heavens rearrange themselves to highlight something everyone needs to see. If you’re someone who finds meaning in the natural world, this kind of visual alignment is hard to ignore. Many people view planetary gatherings as a moment when different energies seem to work in concert rather than pulling in separate directions. Whether you take that literally or simply as a useful metaphor, the invitation is the same. Imagine what it would be like if your different parts could come together into harmony too? Think about how many different women live inside you at once: the wise woman, the dreamer, the intuitive, the practical one, the adventurer, the responsible one, and the one who just wants to rest. For eons, women have been taught to prioritize everyone else’s needs and ignore their own inner wisdom. This planetary gathering can serve as a symbolic invitation to bring all those scattered pieces back to center. This celestial moment also speaks to something many women experience as they move through midlife and beyond. There’s a growing desire to trust yourself more deeply. To rely on that inner wisdom and feel genuinely self-sufficient and empowered. You’ve spent decades gathering this wisdom. You’ve navigated relationships, raised families, built careers, and faced disappointments. Maybe you reinvented yourself more than once and learned to keep going when life didn’t follow the plan you imagined. Yet, many women still find themselves looking outside for answers, wondering if someone else knows more than they do. That’s why this planetary parade offers such a striking and important perspective. What Each Planet Brings Each of the five planets carries a quality your inner authority needs: Mercury represents clear thinking and honest self-reflection Venus reminds you of your worth and invites you to treat yourself with the same kindness you freely offer everyone else Mars brings the courage to act on what you already know instead of endlessly second-guessing yourself Jupiter expands your vision and encourages you to believe more is possible than you’ve imagined Saturn contributes the wisdom that comes from lived experience — the kind no book, class, or expert can hand you That’s a complete picture. And if you’re honest, those are qualities most women over 50 have been quietly developing for years, often without giving themselves any credit. The Heart of the Lion Now add Regulus to the mix. The brightest star in the constellation Leo and referred to as the Heart of the Lion, Regulus has long been associated with leadership, courage, and sovereignty. Those words might sound grand, but they point to something practical. Your inner authority is simply the ability to listen to your own knowing and trust it. Honor what feels true for you, even without outside approval. Many women were taught to be considerate, accommodating, and responsible and those qualities have real value. But there comes a point when inner wisdom asks for more. In midlife, it becomes not just possible but necessary to become the authority in your own life. A lion doesn’t ask others where to go next. It trusts its instincts and moves with confidence. And here’s the thing about confidence. You may assume it comes first and action follows. In reality, it works the other way around. When you listen to an inner nudge, follow your curiosity, or make a decision you’ve been avoiding, you discover you’re capable of navigating whatever comes next. That’s how self-trust is actually built. Women often arrive at this stage believing they need one more answer before they can move forward. Maybe one more book, workshop, or sign. Meanwhile, your inner wisdom has been patiently waiting to be heard. See the Bigger Picture Later in June, the New Moon darkens the sky enough for the Milky Way to emerge. Think of this as the final note in the month’s celestial progression. First, align with yourself. Next, trust your wisdom. And finally, see the bigger picture. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You only need to trust the next step and allow the larger picture to unfold. The wisdom you’ve been searching for isn’t out there somewhere. It’s already present within you, whispering encouragement toward your next step. Decades of living, the mistakes, the victories, the setbacks, and the insights gathered in ways no shortcut could replicate. That’s your authority. It’s always been yours. To me, that’s the gift of inner authority. Even without all the answers, you trust yourself enough to take the next step and move forward anyway. And that, my friends, is nothing short of extraordinary and yet another aspect of midlife magic. Key Takeaways The June 17th planetary parade has five planets visible to the naked eye simultaneously. That’s a rare astronomical event and a powerful metaphor for inner alignment. Each planet in the parade represents a quality of inner authority: Mercury (clarity), Venus (self-worth), Mars (courage), Jupiter (expanded vision), Saturn (lived wisdom). Inner authority is the practical ability to trust your own knowing, even without outside approval. This is symbolized in this post by the star Regulus, part of the Leo constellation that is also referred to as the Heart of the Lion. Self-trust isn’t built by waiting until you feel confident. It grows by taking action on what you already know. Women in midlife already possess the wisdom they’re searching for which has been shaped by decades of navigating relationships, reinvention, and lived experience. FAQs Do I need any special equipment to see the planetary parade on June 17th? No equipment is needed. All five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) are visible to the naked eye after sunset. Find a spot with a clear horizon and give your eyes a few minutes to adjust. Find details on exactly when and where to look on the NASA site. What makes this planetary alignment different from others? Five planets visible simultaneously in a clear line across the sky is genuinely uncommon. While alignments happen throughout the year, this one is paired with Regulus and later the Milky Way, making June a full month of striking sky events rather than a single night. I’m not into astrology. Can I still get something from this? Yes, the planetary meanings here are metaphor, not forecast. You don’t need to believe the planets influence your life to find the reflection useful. Think of it as a visual framework for qualities like courage, clarity, and wisdom you’re likely already developing. Why does inner authority feel harder to access in midlife? Because the habits of earlier life run deep. Prioritizing others, seeking external validation, and deferring to experts become ingrained over decades. Midlife loosens some of those external demands, which creates both the space and the invitation to finally turn inward. How do I actually start building more self-trust? Start with one small action. Follow an inner nudge, make a decision you’ve been postponing, or trust your read on a situation without polling others first. Self-trust is built through practice, not through waiting until you feel ready. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do I need any special equipment to see the planetary parade on June 17th?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No equipment is needed.

In this snapshot episode of The Wild Photographer, Court shares a quick, practical guide to astrophotography — specifically, how to photograph the Milky Way with strong composition, sharp stars, and a plan for success.Astrophotography can feel intimidating at first. You're working in extreme low light, trying to make tiny points of starlight stand out in a big, dramatic way. Plus, you're likely using gear that is specialized, and let's face it, things are more challenging in the pitch dark.But the good news is that with a solid plan, it's a fairly straightforward formula. With the right lens, a sturdy tripod, thoughtful foreground composition, and a few repeatable camera settings, you can create beautiful night sky images that will really help elevate your nature photography.Links Mentioned in the Episode:Sun Surveyor App A planning app for tracking the sun, moon, and Milky Way, including augmented reality tools for scouting compositions. https://www.sunsurveyor.com/Timeanddate Moonrise and Moonset Calculator Useful for checking moonrise, moonset, moon phase, moon direction, and timing for astrophotography planning. https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/Court Whelan on YouTube Court's YouTube channel includes photography tutorials, editing walkthroughs, and visual companions to topics discussed on the podcast. https://www.youtube.com/@courtwhelanSmallrig LED Light: https://amzn.to/3PlZvTTPetzl Actik headlamp: https://amzn.to/4nUlwWECourt's WebsitesCheck out my photo portfolio here: shop.courtwhelan.comSign up for my photo and conservation blog at www.courtwhelan.comFollow me on YouTube (@courtwhelan) for more photography tipsView my camera kit and recommended camera gearSponsors and Promo Codes:MPB.com - Buy, Sell, or Trade Camera GearArtStorefronts.com - Mention this podcast for free photo website designBayPhoto.com - 25% off your first order (code: TWP25) ArtHelper.com - a photo community to learn, share and be inspiredArthelper.Ai - Smart tools to promo and showcase your art.LensRentals.com - WildPhoto15 for 15% off

Episode Summary In today's episode, Anna and Avery cover six major space and astronomy stories: the growing implications of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket explosion for NASA's lunar plans; China's surprise maiden flight of the Long March 12B reusable rocket plus the return of the Shenzhou-21 crew; Starship V3 being grounded by the FAA following Flight 12 — with SpaceX's IPO in the balance; the upcoming launch of NASA's Roman Space Telescope and its mission to find 100,000 new exoplanets; new research suggesting Earth remained a global magma ocean for up to half a billion years; and a stunning new Hubble image of galaxy M88 on a perilous journey through the Virgo Cluster.   Story 1 — New Glenn Aftermath: NASA Moon Plans Under Threat Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket was destroyed on May 28 during a pre-launch static fire test at Launch Complex 36, Cape Canaveral. As of June 2, the damage to Blue Origin's lunar programme is becoming clear: the Blue Moon Mark 1 lander — scheduled to deliver Moon Base 1 hardware in autumn 2026 — now faces likely delays, and the crewed Blue Moon MK2 timeline may slip as a result. LC-36 is Blue Origin's only orbital pad; rebuilding will take considerable time. NASA had signed a new New Glenn launch agreement for Moon rovers just two days before the explosion. Sources: Space.com, Time Magazine, TechTimes (June 1–2, 2026)   Story 2 — China's Long March 12B Debut + Shenzhou-21 Returns China's new Long March 12B rocket completed its maiden flight on June 1 from Jiuquan, deploying Qianfan constellation satellites in a no-advance-notice launch. The rocket — China's answer to the Falcon 9 — features a 20-tonne LEO capacity, a 5.2m fairing, kerolox propulsion, and dual independent flight computers ('dual brains'). No booster recovery on this flight, but planned for future missions. Developed in just 21 months. In other Chinese space news: the Shenzhou-21 crew (Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, Zhang Hongzhang) returned safely on May 29 after a record 210-day stay aboard Tiangong, landing in a Shenzhou-22 emergency rescue capsule after their original return craft was damaged by a suspected space debris strike. Sources: SpaceNews, Global Times, Xinhua (June 1, 2026)   Story 3 — Starship V3 Grounded: FAA Mishap Investigation Following Flight 12 (May 22), the FAA has formally classified the Starship V3 debut as a mishap and grounded the vehicle. The Super Heavy booster failed its boostback burn and hard-splashed in the Gulf of America; one Raptor Vacuum engine on the upper stage also failed. SpaceX must complete an FAA-overseen investigation before Flight 13. This is Starship's seventh grounding in three years. A July–August return-to-flight window is cited; a booster catch may be skipped on Flight 13. SpaceX's IPO (ticker: SPCX, Nasdaq) was filed May 20 with shares potentially trading from ~June 12. Sources: SpaceNews, Aviation Week, TechCrunch (May 27–June 1, 2026)   Story 4 — NASA Roman Space Telescope: 100,000 New Worlds NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is on track to arrive at Kennedy Space Center in June, with a launch target of early September 2026 — ahead of its May 2027 commitment. Over its five-year primary mission, Roman is expected to discover ~100,000 exoplanets, hundreds of millions of galaxies, and billions of stars, generating a 20,000-terabyte data archive. Its Galactic Bulge Survey will observe ~100 million stars in underexplored Milky Way regions. Roman also features a Coronagraph Instrument to directly image nearby exoplanets and test techniques for future Earth-analogue imaging. Sources: NASA.gov, ScienceDaily, SciTechDaily (June 1–2, 2026)   Story 5 — Earth Was a Lava World for Half a Billion Years A preprint from researchers at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute (arXiv, June 2026) proposes that Earth's global magma ocean phase lasted up to 500 million years — far longer than previously assumed. Two key factors sustained the molten state: tidal heating from the newly formed, much-closer Moon; and a thick steam atmosphere that acted as a thermal blanket, slowing planetary cooling. The prolonged hot conditions would also have favoured the photochemical production of hydrogen cyanide — a key prebiotic molecule linked to the origin of RNA and amino acids. Sources: Universe Today, Phys.org (June 1, 2026) — preprint on arXiv   Story 6 — Hubble Images M88 on a Perilous Virgo Cluster Journey NASA/ESA Hubble's June 2026 Picture of the Month features Messier 88 (M88/NGC 4501), a spiral galaxy 63 million light-years away in Coma Berenices. M88 is on a long inward journey through the Virgo Cluster, with a supermassive black hole ~100 million solar masses at its core.

RubinObservatory begins issuing its first scientific alerts, giving astronomers anew way to monitor the changing sky in near real time.Part 2 will focus on the Lunar Feature of the Monthand a deep-sky tour as the summer Milky Way begins to take over from thegalaxies of spring.

Mythical Ireland embodies the search for a soul among Ireland's ancient ruins, and is an attempt to retrieve something of deeper import from 5,000-year-old megalithic monuments and their associated myths. The book represents a fascinating and engaging journey through time, landscape and the human spirit. Dealing with archaeology, interpretive mythography, cosmology and cosmogony, the book attempts to grapple with a core meaning, something beyond the functional interpretations of academia.In this revised and expanded edition, Anthony Murphy delves further into the many enthralling aspects of this journey. Just how much knowledge did locals have of the secrets of Newgrange before it was excavated? Who is the Cailleach, the ancient hag goddess whose image is ubiquitous in the ancient landscape? What happened to make Ireland's Stonehenge disappear from the landscape? Who were the first kings of Tara? What were the indigenous Irish myths about the Milky Way? Did someone try to steal the Tara Brooch? Why are there myths in Ireland about flooded towns and cities?Lavishly illustrated with exquisite photographs of the Irish landscape and ancient monuments, Mythical Ireland represents a personal and yet universal journey, a quest to reimagine the shrines as empowering and transformative sacred places. Murphy invokes the druids and poets of the Boyne and thus the sídhe of the ancient texts are reawakened for a modern and turbulent world.I'm an author and journalist living in Drogheda, Ireland. I've been writing since I was about five, and even in my early years I was banging away on my father's old typewriter. I'm interested in many things, but my books are primarily inspired by the ancient myths and monuments of the Boyne Valley, where the world-famous stone age monuments of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth are located, only a few miles from where I live.www.mythicalireland.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2605/story-of-suns-road-trip-through-the-milky-way-with-friends/ Did you know that our Sun and its many, uh, childhood friends were all born at a place much closer to the center of our Galaxy? Over the years, our Sun and its friends have been on sort of a speedy galactic tour traveling a distance of almost 10,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way. But traveling much farther than that on a long curved trajectory! Astronomers call this the 'mass migration' of stars. Kind of like a flock of migrating birds.    How and when did these stellar siblings migrate to where they are now? To find out, a team of astronomers did some galactic archaeology, tracing the history of stars in our Galaxy. Using data from ESA's Gaia telescope, the team found almost 6,600 stars just like our Sun. The astronomers aptly call these stars the 'solar twins.'    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Hey Guys!Happy weekend :)

In this episode of Dakota Datebook, we'll hear from Kevin Locke, enrolled member of the Standing Rock Nation, in part one of “Hinhan Kaga and The Milky Way.”

Did the famous 2012 alignment actually occur on December 21, 2012—or has the story been misunderstood? In this fascinating and thought-provoking episode, John Major Jenkins joins Rob McConnell to discuss When Was The 2012 Alignment?, exploring one of the most debated aspects of the 2012 phenomenon. Drawing from decades of research into Maya cosmology, ancient astronomy, and the significance of the Long Count Calendar, John examines the concept of the "galactic alignment" and its relationship to the 2012 date. He explains how the alignment is associated with the precessional movement of the Earth and the December solstice Sun's relationship to the Milky Way's galactic plane, arguing that the event should be understood as a broader astronomical era rather than a single-day occurrence. This episode invites listeners to reconsider one of the most talked-about dates in modern popular culture. What did the ancient Maya actually say about 2012? Was the alignment a precise moment, a decades-long process, or a symbolic marker of transition? And why has the topic generated so much fascination, controversy, and speculation around the world? Join us for an illuminating and intellectually engaging conversation that explores ancient calendars, astronomy, mythology, and the enduring mystery of 2012—where science, history, and human curiosity intersect in the search for deeper understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most powerful story in a national park isn't the landscape — it's the people inside it?NYU-trained filmmaker, Explorers Club member, and director Brendan Hall joins us to share the journey behind Out There: A National Parks Story — a feature documentary seven years in the making, born from a post-graduation road trip across 10,000 miles of America's public lands.Brendan opens up about the Grand Canyon moment under the Milky Way that redirected his entire filmmaking career, how two friends with no plan found trail builder Gary in Acadia simply by asking a librarian, and why his relationship with Yosemite has evolved from a solo sunrise at Tunnel View to a surprise engagement in El Capitan Meadow.We cover the human tapestry behind the film: Jack Gladstone's Blackfeet stories at Glacier, photographer QT Luong's overlooked legacy, and a filmmaking philosophy built around accessibility over conquest. Brendan also reflects on his time as a selected crew member of the Dear Moon mission, what an Antarctica voyage with Neil deGrasse Tyson and William Shatner revealed about our planet, and how to carry hope in the face of ecological grief — from bleached coral reefs to smoke-filled wilderness.Out There has screened at 25+ festivals and 75+ community events nationwide.

Most of the stars in the Milky Way orbit the center of the galaxy in the same direction as all the other stars around them, and at about the same speed. But a few follow their own paths. An example is a star at the tip of the Guitar Nebula. The nebula is a bubble of gas with an outline that resembles a guitar. It’s in Cepheus, which is low in the north at nightfall. The king’s brightest stars form an outline that resembles a child’s drawing of a house. Don’t look for the nebula, though – it’s so faint that it wasn’t discovered until 1992. The guitar was sculpted by a pulsar – the crushed corpse of a mighty star. It spins once every two-thirds of a second, emitting a beam of energy that sweeps past Earth on each turn. The pulsar was born when the star exploded as a supernova. The explosion must have been off-center, so it gave the dead core a powerful kick. The pulsar is plowing through clouds of gas and dust at almost two million miles per hour. It leaves an expanding wake behind it, like a ship traveling across the ocean. That wake is what we see as the Guitar. But there’s more to the nebula than meets the eye. X-ray telescopes in space reveal a long, high-speed “jet.” It’s firing away from the tip of the nebula at a right angle to the nebula itself. The jet most likely is powered by the pulsar’s magnetic field, which funnels charged particles away from the pulsar – an interesting note from a celestial guitar. Script by Damond Benningfield

Are there really exoplanets with where it rains ruby and emerald raindrops? How do we measure the atmospheres of exoplanets light years away? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Dr. Munazza Alam of the Space Telescope Science Institute. The STScI performs science operations for the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope when it launches in 2026. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing. On Feb 24, 2026, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory activated the alert system it will use to notify astronomers of noteworthy events and sent out 800,000 alerts on that single day! Munazza tells us about how she studies the atmospheres of exoplanets like Wasp 121-b, a gas giant thought to have ruby and sapphire rain. Dr. Alam describes exoplanets with surface oceans made of magma, and she and Chuck talk about the importance of plate tectonics. You'll hear about Hot Jupiters, Super-Earths, and Sub-Neptunes – and the theories about why we don't have any of them in our solar system despite the fact that they're incredibly common in the Milky Way galaxy. Then it's time for audience questions, which for this episode come from students at Notre Dame Academy on Staten Island, where Munazza is an alum. Not only does past guest Dr. Betty Jensen teach there, as well, but she was a critical influence on Munazza's career path. (You can listen to our episode with Dr. Jensen here.) The first question is from Charlotte, who asks, “How far have we gone in space?” Munazza, Allen, and Chuck discuss Voyager 1, which at a current distance of nearly 16 billion miles is the man-made object that has gone furthest from Earth. Next up, Gabby asks, “What was the best advice you were given when you were preparing for college?” Dr. Alam's answer: Pick something you enjoy and are good at - in spite of any pressure you might get from friends, family, and others. A second piece of advice Munazza got was to maintain your breadth, i.e., developing other interests besides your primary focus. For Munazza, that was art and writing, and she shares some of her art later in the show. Finally, Gisella asks if it was hard picking a college. Dr. Alam shares her process, with the caveat that it might not be good advice for everyone. Charles and Munazza reflect on the tradition of scientific exploration, observation, discovery and analysis of which she's part. Munazza recounts the excitement when JWST observations of transmission spectra of the exoplanet Wasp 39b confirmed their predictions – and also detected something unexpected: sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere of the planet which is a by-product of photochemistry between light from its star and water molecules in the atmosphere of the planet. Finally, Chuck asks Munazza to share some of her art. She shows us one of the first paintings she ever did, a peacock, and tells us a little about it and a portrait she has displayed at the Lowell Observatory. If you'd like to know more about what Dr. Alam is up to, you can follower her on LinkedIn or visit her website .

The Milky Way Galaxy is home to a few hundred billion stars. And on average, it gives birth to a couple of Sun’s-worth of stars every year. But a much smaller galaxy about 12 million light-years away puts the Milky Way to shame. It is spawning about 10 times as many stars per year. Like the Milky Way, Messier 82 is a thin disk, with spiral arms wrapping around a dense core. It’s less than half the size of the Milky Way. M82 is a starburst galaxy. It had a close encounter with another galaxy within the past hundred million years or so. That caused huge clouds of gas and dust to collapse, triggering the starbirth. The new stars are concentrated in the center of the galaxy, where astronomers have cataloged more than a hundred super star clusters. Each one contains hundreds of thousands of stars. Many of the stars are especially hot and massive, which makes the clusters especially bright. A strong “wind” of hot gas races away from that region. It squeezes the surrounding clouds, giving birth to more stars. But within another hundred million years, all the gas and dust will have been used up. Then, M82 will settle down to the same quiet life as the Milky Way. M82 is in Ursa Major. As night falls, it dangles below the upside-down bowl of the Big Dipper. It’s an easy target for small telescopes. We see it edge-on, so it looks like a small, bright slash. Script by Damond Benningfield

Listen Now to 009 WTFuture Milky Way Edition Watch 009 WTFuture Milky Way Edition Buckle up for a wild ride across the cosmos as we dive into the latest space shenanigans.. NASA is gearing up to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which will peer deep into our galaxy’s chaotic bulge to hunt down exoplanets and isolated black holes. We take a peek into the Galactic Bulge, the center of our galaxy. We also take a virtual tour of L98-59D, a molten “hell world” covered in lava oceans that reeks of rotten eggs. We then take you on a stunning tour of world class images of our Milky Way galaxy—including a stubborn seal photo-bombing the Milky Way for an award-winning shot—and then over to the RAMSES mission, where space agencies are teaming up to intercept the Apophis asteroid when it buzzes uncomfortably close to Earth on Friday the 13th in 2029. Next we delve into the world of inventor/philosopher Arthur Young, creator of the first Bell helicopter and pioneer in exploring the nature of human consciousness. Could his thinking behind the invention of the helicopter be key in understanding the process of human awareness? “PsyCopter thinking?” Hmm… We then play with the lines between comic books and reality, exploring how vaporized copper wire from the very first atomic bomb test created a super-rare crystal called red trinitite; strangely reminiscent of Superman’s red kryptonite; but in reality, its molecular “cages” might actually help us build better lithium-ion batteries and quantum computers. Then Bobby, reminds us of the existential threat of rogue AI hackers obliterating the traditional SWIFT banking system, which could, strangely enough, lead humanity into a futuristic, abundant digital economy. To top it all off, they track NASA’s Psyche mission heading toward an asteroid made of solid gold and platinum, and wrap up with an urgent update from scientist Stefan Burns about massive solar flares and incoming earthquakes.The future this week is delightfully chaotic. Enjoy..

"You are never going to feel ready, because ready isn't a feeling. It's a decision."That one hit me like a ton of bricks the first time I heard it. Because how much of our lives do we spend waiting? Waiting for clarity, for confidence, for the perfect moment that never actually comes.In this episode, I'm sharing why that feeling of readiness is a myth and what actually moves the needle. From the 200mm lens that sat untouched on my desk for six months to launching Milky Way when I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, the decision always came first. The confidence came after.You'll walk away with a new way of thinking about every idea, offer, or risk you've been putting off, and hopefully a little nudge to stop waiting and just decide.What's in this episode:[00:00:30] The tug of war between waiting and doing [00:01:00] Why ready isn't a feeling, it's a decision [00:01:30] The 200mm lens that sat untouched for six months [00:02:30] Waiting for proof that will never come [00:03:30] How Milk and Honey and the Milky Way started before Lisa felt ready[00:04:30] How fear disguises itself as logic and responsibility [00:05:00] What the world misses when you keep waiting [00:05:30] Action builds confidence, decisions build momentum [00:06:00] Your challenge: decide today, not because you're ready, but because you chose to beIf you've been waiting for that magical moment when it finally feels right, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting and start deciding.For full show notes, resources, links and to download the transcript, visit our website: https://themilkyway.ca/podcast/

The 100-year search for dark matter began in 1922 with Dutch astronomer Jacobus Kapteyn, who was the first to use the term "dark matter" in a scientific paper. Kapteyn realized that the gravity of unseen matter must govern the motions of stars. His student, Jan Oort, later expanded on this by studying the vertical "up and down" motions of stars in the Milky Way to estimate the mass in the galactic plane. Fritz Zwicky provided a major breakthrough by observing the redshift of galaxies in the Coma cluster, concluding they moved too fast for visible mass to hold them together. Zwicky termed this missing mass "Dunkle Materie." These early pioneers identified a gravitational discrepancy—the "elephant in the universe"—that would define modern cosmology as scientists began hunting for what they could not see.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Someday, when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a mother, I'll tell them: I loved you enough to bug you about where you were going, with whom and what time you would get home. ... I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your friend was a creep. I loved you enough to make you return a Milky Way with a bite out of it to a drugstore and confess, ‘I stole this.' ... But most of all I loved you enough to say no when you hated me for it. That was the hardest part of all.”~Erma Bombeck (1927-1996), humorist and mother “‘You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,' said Aslan. ‘And that is both honor enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.'”~C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) in his book Prince Caspian “…shame…is the emotional weapon that evil uses to (1) corrupt our relationships with God and each other, and (2) disintegrate any and all gifts of vocational vision and creativity.”~Curt Thompson in The Soul of Shame: Retelling the Stories We Believe About Ourselves “Christ releases you to be truly human, and you must now learn to express your true self according to the divine pattern, not in self-assertion but in self-giving.”~N.T. Wright, New Testament scholar “Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him…. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.”~C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) in his book Mere Christianity “Let us be buried with Christ by Baptism to rise with Him; let us go down with Him to be raised with Him, and let us rise with Him to be glorified with Him.”~Gregory of Nazianzus (329-390), Roman Christian theologian and church leader “Holy baptism…is tantamount to [Christ] saying, My righteousness shall be your righteousness; my innocence, your innocence. Your sins indeed are great, but by baptism I bestow on you my righteousness; I strip death from you and clothe you with my life.”~Martin Luther (1483-1546), German reformerSERMON PASSAGE Romans 6:1-11 (NASB)1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Scientists at NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, jointly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, have submitted an unprecedented set of asteroid detections to the IAU Minor Planet Center, including hundreds of distant worlds beyond Neptune and 33 previously unknown near-Earth asteroids. In this podcast, Dr. Mario Juric discusses how these asteroids were discovered and what we can look forward to in the future from the Rubin Observatory.    Bios:  Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. Prof. Mario Juric is the P.I. of UW's contribution to the construction of the Rubin Observatory, Senior Fellow at UW's eScience Institute, and director emeritus of UW's Institute for Data-intensive Astrophysics and Cosmology (DiRAC). Once fully operational in 2026, the Rubin Observatory will deliver the largest sky survey in the history of mankind, answering questions from the nature of Dark Energy to discovering potential "killer" asteroids. Prof. Juric led the definition of Rubin data products and oversees the solar system team. Prof. Juric received his PhD in astrophysical sciences from Princeton University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study and a Hubble Fellow at Harvard University. His research is in the area of data-intensive survey astronomy and AI. He developed a range of astronomical software products and techniques, including software for asteroid detection, mapping the Milky Way, novel astronomical databases, and cloud-based astronomical data analysis systems. Prof. Juric discovered what was at the time the largest known structure in the Universe (the Sloan Great Wall; with J. Richard Gott), a dwarf galaxy colliding with the Milky Way (the Virgo Overdensity; with Z. Ivezic), and over a hundred asteroids (including 22899 Alconrad, the smallest known main-belt binary asteroid; with Korado Korlevic). A Jupiter-family comet 183P/Korlevic-Juric is named after him.   Links: NOIRLab Press Release NOIRLab social media channels can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/NOIRLabAstro https://twitter.com/NOIRLabAstro https://www.instagram.com/noirlabastro/ https://www.youtube.com/noirlabastro   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Ken Croswell describes the Milky Way's structure as a barred spiral galaxy. He explains that the central bar exerts massive gravitational force. This gravity has trapped billions of "Trojan stars" into two vast whirlpools, similar to how Jupiter's gravity captures Trojan asteroids in its orbit. (15/16)1943 RIBBENTROP  AND HIMMLER IN BERLIN  

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 5-7-2026.1945 BERLIN.Ian Buruma discusses his book Stay Alive, focusing on his father Leo's 1943 decision to enter mandatory labor in a Berlin factory to protect his parents from Nazi retaliation. The narrative explores Berlin's transition from a striving capital into a city facing bombings, malnutrition, and lice. (1/16)Ian Buruma describes Joseph Goebbels as a master propagandist who used entertainment to distract Berliners from wartime horrors. He explains "unpolitical" as a psychological justification for ignoring Nazi atrocities. The segment also details the complex Nuremberg racial laws used to systematically categorize and persecute Jewish populations. (2/16)Ian Buruma defines the wartime greeting "Stay Alive" and profiles resistors like von Moltke. He discusses jazz guitarist Coco Schumann, who survived Auschwitz by playing in a band while others were executed. The segment also covers the Wannsee Conference, where the "final solution" was organized. (3/16)Ian Buruma details the "U-boats," young Jews living clandestine lives in Berlin without legal papers. He describes the city's descent into lawlessness following the defeat at Stalingrad. Survival became transactional, relying on the goodwill or opportunism of strangers in a society where Hitler was the law. (4/16)Ian Buruma examines the failure of strategic bombing to break civilian morale, which instead fostered solidarity. He recounts his father's letters from a Berlin labor barracks, describing the harsh conditions of malnutrition and vermin. He also highlights diaries showing how individuals navigated the criminal regime. (5/16)Ian Buruma discusses the moral dilemmas of survival, focusing on Stella Kübler, who betrayed other Jews to save her parents from Auschwitz. He asserts that information about the Holocaust was widely available via the BBC and soldiers' letters, meaning that for many Berliners, ignorance was a choice. (6/16)Ian Buruma recounts the final months of the war, dominated by Goebbels' "death cult" propaganda and the film Colberg. He describes the trial of resistor von Moltke, who stood up to the sadistic judge Roland Freisler, and the eventual bombing of the court that killed the judge. (7/16)Ian Buruma details the Soviet occupation of Berlin, characterized by mass looting and rape. He tracks the fates of his book's protagonists: his father Leo narrowly escaped execution by a Russian soldier, while resistance leader Borchardtwas tragically killed by a stray shot after liberation. (8/16)Anatol Lieven analyzes China's diplomatic strategy, noting Beijing's desire for a Trump-Xi summit despite Middle Eastern conflicts. China aims to manage trade tariffs and stabilize Taiwan relations, believing that U.S. involvement in external wars may ultimately weaken American alliances in Asia and strengthen China's regional standing. (9/16)Anatol Lieven analyzes reports of Vladimir Putin operating from bunkers to avoid precision strikes. He discusses Ukraine's emergence as a "drone war startup" and the resulting economic strain. Lieven notes that while the frontline remains frozen, Russian public support for the conflict is beginning to crumble. (10/16)Rick Fisher reveals China's plans to double the size of the Tiangong space station by 2030. He warns of its military dual-use potential, suggesting the station and Shuntan telescope could serve as orbital "battle stations" for surveillance or strikes, providing China with a significant new strategic deterrent. (11/16)Rick Fisher explores the militarization of the Moon, citing Chinese interest in lunar radar and "moon hoppers" for resource discovery. He describes a technological competition with the U.S. involving nuclear power plants, lasers, and satellite constellations intended for both peaceful research and potential offensive or defensive combat. (12/16)Veronique de Rugy critiques government-matched savings plans like the "Trump IRA." She argues these technocratic fixes add to the national debt without addressing core tax code flaws. She highlights how high penalties for early withdrawals and payroll taxes effectively discourage lower-income workers from saving for the future. (13/16)Jim McTague examines the AI boom, noting the high valuation of DeepSeek and its use of black-market chips. He discusses a lawsuit against Character AI for unlicensed medical advice and the economic impact of data centers, which provide local tax revenue but consume significant real estate. (14/16)Ken Croswell describes the Milky Way's structure as a barred spiral galaxy. He explains that the central bar exerts massive gravitational force. This gravity has trapped billions of "Trojan stars" into two vast whirlpools, similar to how Jupiter's gravity captures Trojan asteroids in its orbit. (15/16)Ken Croswell details the discovery of the "Hercules stream," stars resonating with the galaxy's central bar. He notes that as the bar's rotation slows, there is a 20% chance Earth's solar system will join this "exclusive club" of Trojan stars in two billion years, changing our galactic position. (16/16)

Looking into a star filled sky at a place like the Cosmic Campground International Dark Sky Sanctuary in New Mexico inspires a person to wonder if our home planet is unique in the Universe. To begin to answer this question, NASA launched the small satellite Pandora on January 11, 2026 . It is on at least a one year long mission to study the chemical composition of more than 20 planets orbiting nearby stars in the Milky Way.The Pandora satellite's results will hopefully include a list of potentially habitable planets to be observed the James Webb Space Telescope and other observatories in the search for life elsewhere in the Universe.

PREVIEW for Later Today: Dr. Ken Croswell discusses the discovery of Trojan stars within the Milky Way. These stars parallel Jupiter's Trojan asteroids, maintained in equilibrium by gravity and centrifugal forces over immense distances across the barred galaxy.

For a trip that’s out of this universe, just cross the event horizon of a black hole. Nothing that passes through an event horizon can ever come back out, so we don’t really know what goes on inside a black hole. But we can be pretty sure that it’s like nothing else in the universe. A black hole’s mass is concentrated in a single point, called a singularity. Its gravity is infinitely strong. But as the distance from the singularity increases, its grip weakens. Eventually, it reaches a point where the escape velocity equals the speed of light – the event horizon. Since nothing can travel faster than light, anything that falls through the horizon is trapped. It may be doomed to merge with the singularity. So the event horizon acts like the “surface” of a black hole. But it’s not solid – there’s nothing to ram into. Instead, it’s more of a boundary between the black hole and anything outside it. The distance between the singularity and the event horizon marks the size of the black hole. And as more stuff falls in, the black hole gets bigger. A black hole that’s 10 times the mass of the Sun spans about 35 miles. The supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way spans 13 million miles. And the heaviest black holes yet seen are more than 40 times the size of the orbit of Neptune, the Sun’s outermost major planet – a wide entrance to an out-of-this-universe experience. More about black holes tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Explores the 24,000-year precessional cycle and the cultural shifts that accompany the different agesShows how the energies of the cosmos are guiding us into new paradigms of thought, new ways of being, and higher levels of consciousnessDiscusses the interface between the precessional cycle and the Hindu Yuga cycle and the meaning of the profound shift that we in at this timeWe are approaching the end of a 24,000-year precessional cycle and, according to ancient traditions, on the cusp of a new age. While this time of transition can lead to an evolutionary leap for humanity, it can also bring inevitable challenges for those who resist.Astrologer and clinical psychologist Heather Ensworth shows that we live in a sentient universe where the energies of the cosmos are guiding us through this transition and into new paradigms of thought, new ways of being, and higher levels of consciousness. By embracing these changes we can navigate the turmoil of transformation into a new age of love, harmony, and a greater awareness of our interconnectedness.Ensworth suggests that the precessional motion that causes the astrological ages is not due to a wobble in the Earth's axis but to the possibility that our sun is part of a binary star system, which astronomers have found are more common in the Milky Way galaxy than previously believed. The author also teaches us how to realign with the galactic center—our source—by becoming centered within and harmonizing with the changing cosmos to bring us a deeper sense of meaning and stability.The transition into a new age does not need to be a dramatic change that simply happens to us. This book shows how we can remember our origins, find our center, and navigate this changing age with clarity and intention.Heather M. Ensworth, PhD, is an astrologer and clinical psychologist with a background in cultural anthropology. She is committed to exploring and teaching ancient wisdom and healing practices for our evolution and for healing the Earth. Her YouTube channel features astrological teachings about our current time of transition and transformation.
