Podcasts about Milky Way

Deep in the Green Mountains, there's a patch of wilderness the guidebooks skip over. A place locals only dare whisper about. Where hunters never return and hikers step off the trail and, seemingly, off the face of the Earth. They call it the Bennington Triangle—a stretch of cursed ground wrapped in mystery, folklore, and an unnamable fear. From strange lights flickering in the forest canopy, to phantom sounds echoing across the marshlands, and even a chilling string of disappearances between 1945 and 1950, Glastenbury Mountain has earned its reputation as Vermont's Bermuda Triangle. Five souls—young, old, experienced, and unprepared alike—all swallowed by the woods without a trace. And theories abound: A hidden serial killer? What of the rumors of a violent creature lurking in the woods, the Bennington Monster? Interdimensional portals yawning open on the Long Trail, or maybe something even older... something ancient. Citizens of the Milky Way prepare yourselves for The Curse of the Bennington Triangle!Music and Editing by Gage HurleyCheck out VaporVerse: https://www.youtube.com/@vaporversemusic ++++ Check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/creepstreetpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/creepstreetpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@creepstreetpodcast5062?feature=sharedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@creepstreetpodcast#BenningtonTriangle #Vermont #VermontLife #Bennington #BenningtonVT #GreenMountainState #NewEngland #NewEnglandMysteries #VermontHistory #VermontHaunted #VermontGhosts #HauntedVermont #WeirdVermont #StrangeVermont #GlastenburyMountain #LongTrail #VermontPodcast #VermontFolklore #paranormal #paranormalpodcast #paranormalactivity #paranormalstories #paranormalinvestigation #haunted #hauntedplaces #hauntedhistory #ghoststories #ghosthunters #ghost #ghosthunting #unsolvedmysteries #mystery #mysteries #mysterypodcast #creepypodcast #spookystories #creepystories #highstrangeness #fortean #cryptids #cryptidcore #ufo #ufosightings #aliens #strangebuttrue #urbanlegends #americanfolklore #folklore #darkhistory #truecrime #occult #supernatural #strangephenomena #creepstreetpodcast

There isn't a more perfect place to share a meal than at the Minnesota State Fair. And there may be no more prominent figure at the state fair than Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Minnesota Now host Nina Moini went Out to Lunch with this year's winner, Malorie Thorson. The two shared fair favorites at the MPR Stage and had a conversation about Thorson's passion for the dairy industry.

The Sun isn’t bothered by much. That’s because it travels through the Milky Way on its own. But most of the stars in the galaxy have at least one companion star. And the interactions between them can have a big impact. Consider Spica, a bright star near the Moon tonight. Although it looks like a single star, it’s really at least two stars. One of them is more than 11 times the mass of the Sun, while the other is about seven times the Sun’s mass. That makes Spica one of the more impressive binary systems around. The stars are extremely close together. They follow a stretched-out orbit that brings their surfaces to within about 10 million miles of each other. So the stars have big effects on each other. For one thing, their mutual gravitational pull distorts both stars. They’re shaped like eggs, with the tapered end pointing toward the other star. Also, the pull of the smaller star appears to create ripples in the larger one. And the tapered end of each star is hotter than its opposite hemisphere. In a few million years, the larger star will explode as a supernova. That’s likely to blast away some of the gas at the surface of the companion. And it’ll probably send the smaller star zipping across the galaxy – fired into space by a close companion. Look for Spica to the right of the Moon early this evening. The fainter planet Mars is farther to the lower right of the Moon. Script by Damond Benningfield

A canopy of stars in the night sky is more than breathtaking. Starlight is also an important tool that astronomers use to study our universe. But the growth of artificial light and light pollution are creating dramatic changes to the nighttime environment. Let your eyes adjust to the dark as we travel to a dark sky reserve to gaze upon an increasingly rare view of the Milky Way and explore what we lose when darkness disappears.   Guests: Kim Arcand – Visualization scientist & emerging tech lead, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and author of “Light: The Visible Spectrum and Beyond". Don Jolley – Teacher of Math and Sciences at the Bolinas School in Marin, California who has been leading dark sky tours for three decades.

The first, asteroid 2025 PF2, zipped past at an altitude of just 22,000 kilometers, while the second, 2025 PU1, came even closer at 29,000 kilometers. Both asteroids, small yet significant, highlight the ongoing risks posed by near-Earth objects, with 2025 PU1 being particularly alarming as it was only detected hours after its closest approach.A New Moon for UranusAstronomers have identified a new moon orbiting Uranus, bringing the total number of known satellites to 26. Detected using NASA's Webb Space Telescope, this moon, estimated to be about 10 kilometers in diameter, eluded previous observations, including those from the Voyager 2 mission. Its discovery adds to the complexity of Uranus's moon system and raises questions about the chaotic history of its rings and satellites.Dancing Dwarf Galaxies and the Milky Way's FateA new study suggests that the fate of our Milky Way galaxy is intricately tied to the gravitational interactions with smaller dwarf galaxies as it approaches a merger with the Andromeda galaxy. By studying similar galactic systems, researchers aim to predict how these cosmic dances will influence the evolution of our galaxy over the next few billion years, providing insights into dark matter and cosmic structure.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Societyhttps://academic.oup.com/mnrasNASA's Webb Space Telescopehttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/webb/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

In August, there's a formula for finding the most romantic night of the season: Once the Moon comes New, count seven nights while watching for the summer's brightest star to reach the zenith. Then the conditions are right for the love story that unfolds overhead, bridging the vast expanse of the Milky Way river of stars, and gathering us all in its wake.

It's been said that the night skies are the other half of the National Park System. And it only makes sense, for when you're in a park and the sun goes down you tend to look into the night sky to spot constellations or, if you're lucky enough and in the right place, a comet overhead. Keeping that other half of the park system in mind, today's podcast will be a somewhat dark one. Our guest is Jeff Pfaller, a fine arts photographer who spent five years capturing night skies over national parks and other public lands. A book coming out in October by Pfaller showcases synchronous fireflies at Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the famous illumination that makes Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park look like a cascading stream of lava, a shot of the whirling Milky Way against a colorful stump of petrified wood at Petrified Forest National Park, and many other nighttime images that remind us of that other half of the park system is overhead.

Many “open” star clusters arch high overhead on summer nights. They’re lined up along the glowing band of the Milky Way – the outline of our home galaxy. Each cluster is a family of stars – from a few dozen to a thousand or more. But open clusters don’t stay together for long. Their stars eventually spread out, so the cluster disappears. Some families begin to spread out early – before many of their stars are even fully formed. One recently discovered example is called Ophion. It consists of more than a thousand stars. Astronomers found the group by analyzing data from Gaia, a space telescope. They looked through observations of more than 200 million stars. Then they narrowed their search to stars that are cooler than the Sun, and no more than 20 million years old. And Ophion just popped out. The stars form a giant clump that’s centered about 650 light-years away. But all of its members are going their own way. So they don’t form an obvious “cluster” – a tight grouping that’s easy to pick out. Ophion is on the edge of a region that’s given birth to many thousands of stars. Exploding stars in that region – or within Ophion itself – might have scattered the stars like bowling pins, keeping the family from sticking together. Ophion is near the middle of Ophiuchus, which is well up in the south-southwest at nightfall. You can see many clusters there – but not a hint of the ill-fated Ophion. Script by Damond Benningfield

Tonight on Veritas our special guest is Avi Loeb, Ph.D. Harvard astrophysicist and visionary thinker whose bold ideas have ignited debate and curiosity around the world. Known for challenging conventional wisdom and asking questions most scientists avoid, Dr. Loeb now turns his attention to an extraordinary visitor from deep space, the interstellar object 3I ATLAS, currently racing toward our solar system at sixty kilometers per second. This Manhattan sized enigma is unlike anything we have ever seen. Arriving from the direction of the Milky Way's center, it carries only a 0.005 percent chance of being a natural object according to Loeb's calculations. If he is correct, then we are not simply looking at a chunk of rock from another star system. We may be watching an artificial craft, perhaps a probe, on a deliberate journey toward our cosmic neighborhood. Its closest approach is expected in November. Which raises the questions that have electrified scientists and captivated the public. If this is a visitor from another civilization, do they come in peace? What is their purpose? And why now? Since its discovery, 3I ATLAS has fueled urgent investigation. Astronomers are racing to capture every bit of data before it disappears into interstellar darkness. And while most focus on the science, an unverified online claim has added a strange twist, that a signal was received in Chile and decoded with the help of artificial intelligence. Its authenticity is unproven, but its mere existence shows how quickly mystery can ignite the imagination. Tonight we will explore the science, the speculation, the implications for humanity, and the very real question of whether we are prepared for whatever 3I ATLAS may bring. By the end of this conversation you will have a front row seat to one of the most remarkable and perhaps defining moments in human history.

Since the beginning to time, aliens have abducted us, studied us, and occasionally… wooed us. In this episode, the Hosts swipe right as they explore the strangest tales of close encounters of the intimate kind—stories of cosmic courtship, interstellar seduction, and love that's truly out of this world. From Brazilian fields to Chinese forests to Hollywood jazz clubs, these are the cases where abduction turned into attraction. They didn't just come in peace… they came for a piece of this ass!

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest revelations from the cosmos, featuring the intriguing interstellar comet 3I Atlas, a groundbreaking theory about our place in the universe, and the safe return of SpaceX Crew 10.The Enigmatic Comet 3I AtlasAstronomers utilizing NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have captured the sharpest images yet of the interstellar comet 3I Atlas, revealing a solid icy nucleus estimated to measure between 320 meters and 5.6 kilometers in diameter. This comet, traveling at a staggering 209,000 kilometers per hour, is believed to have been journeying through interstellar space for approximately 7 billion years. Observations from multiple telescopes are enhancing our understanding of this ancient visitor, including its size, chemical makeup, and physical properties. With a dust plume and tail reminiscent of solar system comets, 3I Atlas offers a unique glimpse into the history of our galaxy as it approaches the sun.Earth's Position in a Cosmic VoidA new hypothesis suggests that Earth and the Milky Way may reside in a vast cosmic void rather than along a filament of the universe's cosmic web. This idea could help resolve the Hubble tension, a discrepancy in the rate of the universe's expansion. The study, presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Conference, posits that our galaxy might be near the center of a local void, influencing the observed expansion rate of the universe. This intriguing concept challenges existing cosmological models and could reshape our understanding of cosmic structure.Safe Return of SpaceX Crew 10After five months aboard the International Space Station, SpaceX Crew 10 has safely returned to Earth. Their Dragon capsule splashed down in the North Pacific Ocean, marking the end of a mission that contributed to over 200 scientific experiments, ranging from plant growth studies to the effects of microgravity on human physiology. The crew's successful return paves the way for their replacements, Crew 11, to continue vital research in low Earth orbit.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205Royal Astronomical Societyhttps://ras.ac.uk/NASA's Hubble Space Telescopehttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

In today’s deep dive, ​​light pollution means most Americans can’t see the Milky Way anymore. It’s also hurting wildlife, including birds.

For a few weeks in the spring of 1764, Charles Messier was a star-cluster-discovering machine. He found five globular clusters in Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. He cataloged them as Messier 9, 10, 12, 14, and 19. Messier wasn’t interested in the clusters – or even in the stars. Instead, he was looking for comets. At the time, finding a comet was a way to fame and fortune. Kings offered prizes to those who found comets. And comets were named for their discoverers – a bit of immortality. But Messier and others kept coming across fuzzy objects that resembled comets. Figuring out if they really were comets wasted time. So the French astronomer decided to compile a catalog of these distractions. He logged more than a hundred objects. They included star clusters, galaxies, stellar nurseries, and the final gasps of dying stars. Today, Messier’s list is the most famous of all astronomical catalogs. The globular clusters all look about the same. They’re tight balls of stars. Today, we know that the typical globular contains a hundred thousand stars or more. And they’re among the oldest residents of the Milky Way – more than 10 billion years old. Ophiuchus is a large constellation that stands well up in the southern sky at nightfall. Messier’s globulars are scattered across it. They’re all visible through binoculars – just don’t mistake them for comets. Script by Damond Benningfield

Barnard 68 is one of the darkest objects in our section of the galaxy. It’s a small cloud that absorbs the light of the stars behind it, so it looks like a dark “hole” in the Milky Way. Before long, though, that void may shine with the warmth of newly forming stars. Barnard 68 is a Bok globule – a small, dark sphere of gas and dust. It’s about 500 light-years away, half a light-year wide, and about three times the mass of the Sun. It’s part of a complex of dark clouds that stands in front of the glowing band of the Milky Way. Barnard 68 is so dark because it’s quite cold – temperatures at its center are close to absolute zero. But that may be about to change. The globule has been stable for millions of years. But there’s evidence that it’s recently been hit by a cosmic “bullet” – a smaller clump of gas and dust. That appears to be causing Barnard 68 to collapse. As it collapses, the cloud will get denser and hotter, and perhaps split into several smaller clumps. Within a few hundred thousand years, the clumps could be well on their way to becoming new stars – glowing balls of gas born from a dark “hole” in the Milky Way. Barnard 68 is in Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer, which is in the southern sky at nightfall. The Milky Way runs through a corner of the constellation. Several clouds darken the Milky Way – birthplaces of future stars. Script by Damond Benningfield

Have you ever felt completely spellbound by a performer who knows exactly how to hold your heart in their hands? That's precisely what happened when we traveled four hours across four states to witness Jin's solo concert at Newark's Prudential Center.Jin transformed the massive arena into what felt like an intimate variety show, crafting a performance that was uniquely his own. From the moment he appeared as a silhouette walking slowly down the catwalk to his explosive start with "Running Wild," he commanded every eye in the venue. His sparkly denim outfit made him look like "the Milky Way" personified – a fitting image for a star of his magnitude.What struck us most was how Jin structured the show – alternating between high-energy performances and interactive game segments where he playfully teased the audience about our Korean pronunciation. The games weren't just entertaining; they were Jin's clever way of creating breathing room between demanding vocal performances while keeping the audience thoroughly engaged. His sassy comments and playful attitude had the entire arena laughing and screaming for more.The emotional centerpiece came when Jin sat at the piano, bringing complete silence to the arena with soul-stirring renditions of "Abyss" and other ballads. When he performed "The Astronaut" while lying on the stage floor, the connection was so intense it felt like he was singing directly to each person there. That's the magic of Jin – his ability to make 10,000 people feel like they're having a one-on-one experience with him.Join us for this detailed account of three days with Jin that left us emotional, exhilarated, and completely in awe of his talents. Between shows, we navigated merchandise lines, rainstorms, and the quest for the elusive Jin ramen, creating memories that will last far beyond the final notes.

We use the term Milky Way for that glowing arc across the sky. But how people picture it varies from culture to culture. In Sweden, that starry band goes by a name that means "Winter Street," and in Hawaii, a term for the Milky Way translates as "fish jumping in shadows." And: the history of naming rooms in a house. Some old houses have a room off the kitchen with only a sink and cabinets. It's not a kitchen, exactly -- but what's it called? Plus, the colorful flag of one European town features a visual pun on its name. It's a drawing of a hand holding a heart. All that, and head over teacups, humpty-twelve, lowdown, chockablock, overhaul, Desper't Ambrose, honyock, an imaginary boyfriend named Raoul, and so mad I could spit nickels.

Out in the sun-blasted dunes of the Gobi, where the wind cuts like a straight razor and the sand moves endlessly, there's a story on the hushed tongues of herdsmen and half-mad nomads. They call it the Mongolian Death Worm—a crimson nightmare that spits lightning, vomits acid, and burrows under your feet like Satan's own cattle prod. No one's ever caught one, but plenty claim they've felt it thrumming under the sand, waiting. And if you stick around long enough in that desert, with your brain baking in the sun, you'll start to wonder if the thing's even real… or if it's just the desert itself trying to kill you.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore exciting new findings about our galaxy, the latest achievements of NASA's Mars Curiosity rover, and groundbreaking images of the Sun captured by the Parker Solar Probe.Milky Way's Hidden SatellitesRecent research suggests that the Milky Way may host up to 100 previously undetected satellite galaxies. Using advanced supercomputer simulations and mathematical modeling, astronomers have identified the existence of these faint dwarf galaxies, which could provide crucial support for the Lambda cold dark matter model. Currently, only 60 companion galaxies are confirmed, but with new telescopes like the Vera Rubin Observatory, the search for these elusive satellites is set to expand, potentially reshaping our understanding of the universe's structure.Curiosity Rover Reaches New HeightsNASA's Mars Curiosity rover has made significant progress in its exploration of Mount Sharp, revealing intricate geological formations known as boxwork. This unique terrain, shaped by ancient groundwater processes, offers valuable insights into the Red Planet's history. Curiosity has been utilizing its advanced instruments to analyze the composition of the Martian surface and conduct atmospheric observations, marking a new phase in its mission to uncover the secrets of Mars.Parker Solar Probe's Record-Breaking ImagesIn a groundbreaking achievement, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has captured the closest images of the Sun ever taken. These stunning observations, made during a recent pass through the solar corona, are helping scientists understand solar phenomena and their impact on space weather. The high-resolution images reveal important details about the solar wind and coronal mass ejections, providing insights that could improve predictions of solar activity and protect technology on Earth.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/NASA Mars Curiosity Missionhttps://mars.nasa.gov/msl/Parker Solar Probehttps://www.nasa.gov/content/parker-solar-probeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 New study says Milky Way could have far more satellite galaxies than previously thought00:47 Our Milky Way galaxy could have more satellite galaxies surrounding it than previously predicted05:37 NASA's Mars Curiosity rover reaches new heights exploring boxwork terrain on Mount Sharp09:08 NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured stunning new images of the solar atmosphere18:40 A new study warns that hail storms could hit Australian cities harder due to climate change

When was the last time you looked up at the stars on a clear night? Since time immemorial, humans have looked to the night sky for their survival. It signalled when to harvest. And helped explorers navigate the seas. But these days, if you're in the bright lights of the city, you may have to travel far to see the Milky Way. Now, remote communities across Canada are looking to their dark skies for potential economic opportunities - something called "astrotourism."

The call comes in over the wire, a frantic plea from a guy whose sister has a demon problem… Another night like many nights in towns that forgot what the sun looked like. The road leads next to Wyoming, where a high-pitched shriek leaves even the most seasoned officers rattled to their core. Then comes the Grey Man, seven feet of pure terror, with a head that defies the darkest of nightmares. He hits a sleepy town like a freight train, leaving behind a home invasion, a time-bending kidnapping, and bloody footprints that didn't belong to any… living man. Ride-a-long with the Hosts as we ride the razor's edge of sanity, fueled by the raw, unblinking horror of the night shift. So keep your wits about you, because these nights are long.

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.

Tonight on UFO undercover will be talking about extraterrestrials but we also be talking about where Earth is in the universe and the galaxy really could the extraterrestrial have just come from our solar system since we have three other destroyed planets maybe that was their home worlds maybe they came from the Sagittarius galaxy which is the galaxy's been being eaten by the Milky Way or maybe they came from somewhere deep in the milky way what do you think we'll be talking about tonight let me know ?

A small star with a planetary companion appears to be making a high-speed exit from the center of the Milky Way – perhaps fast enough to escape the galaxy entirely. The system is more than 24,000 light-years away, in Sagittarius. It appears to contain a red-dwarf star – a cool, faint ember about 20 percent the mass of the Sun. It’s accompanied by a “super-Neptune” – a planet about 30 times the mass of Earth. They’re separated by less than the distance from Earth to the Sun. What makes the system especially interesting is its high speed – at least 1.2 million miles per hour. That’s not fast enough to leave the Milky Way behind. But it could be moving a good bit faster. The system might have started as a member of a binary – two stars bound by gravity. The stars passed too close to the monster black hole in the galaxy’s heart. The black hole grabbed the other star, and gave the escapee a giant kick. On the other hand, the kick could have come from an encounter with a smaller black hole in the Milky Way’s crowded center. How the star maintained its grip on the planet is a key question. But the planet must have been in a tight orbit to avoid being yanked away. Researchers were scheduled to take some follow-up observations this month. That might reveal whether the system really is a star and planet on a high-speed ride through the galaxy. We’ll talk about another possible escapee tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

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.

Sagittarius marks the center of our home galaxy, the Milky Way. So the constellation is packed with stars, star clouds, and star clusters. But one of the clusters doesn’t belong to the Milky Way at all – at least not yet. It’s in a small, puffy galaxy on the far edge of the Milky Way’s disk. Messier 54 is a globular cluster – a ball-shaped region about 150 light-years across, packed with hundreds of thousands of stars. Native globulars are among the Milky Way’s oldest residents – they were born with the galaxy itself. But a few of the clusters were born in other galaxies, then absorbed when their home galaxies were absorbed by the Milky Way. For a long time, astronomers thought that M54 was a charter member of the Milky Way – one of its early globular clusters. A couple of decades ago, though, they found that it’s near the center of a newly discovered galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf. That puts it outside the Milky Way’s disk. But the Milky Way is pulling the smaller galaxy in. Eventually, it will incorporate all of the galaxy’s stars. So M54 will become a member of the Milky Way – one of its newest residents – and one of its oldest. Sagittarius scoots low across the south on summer nights. It looks like the outline of a teapot. M54 is at the lower left corner of the teapot, but you need a telescope to see it. Script by Damond Benningfield

In this episode, the Hosts dive headfirst—no helmet, no seatbelt—into the twitchy, strange world of folks who can kill with their minds! We're talking hypnosis that goes sideways, crimes committed by folks who claim their brains were being puppeteered by… something. Government psy-ops? Rogue hypnotists? The neighbor's cat? Who knows. It's part psych ward, part Twilight Zone, and it all reeks of stale coffee, tinfoil hats, and the lingering scent of misused authority. So buckle up and keep your thoughts to yourself—because if someone else is thinking of you, you might already be in trouble.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest cosmic revelations, including the astonishing discovery of an ancient interstellar comet, the intricate workings of a rare pulsar, and the safe return of the Axiom 4 crew from their mission.Ancient Interstellar Comet 3I/AtlasAstronomers have unveiled that the newly discovered interstellar object, 3I/Atlas, could be the oldest comet ever observed, potentially predating our solar system by over 3 billion years. This water-rich visitor, detected by NASA's ATLAS survey, is only the third known object from beyond our solar system to reach us. A study by Matthew Hopkins from Oxford University suggests that 3I/Atlas may be more than 7 billion years old, offering a glimpse into a part of the Milky Way previously unseen. As it approaches the sun, its activity is expected to increase, revealing more about its composition and the role ancient comets play in star and planetary formation.Unraveling the Mysteries of a Rare PulsarIn another exciting development, astronomers have made significant strides in understanding a unique pulsar system, PSRJ 1023 0038. This transitional millisecond pulsar, which interacts with a lower mass stellar companion, has been studied using data from NASA's Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The findings suggest that the X-ray emissions originate from the pulsar wind rather than the accretion disk, challenging existing models and providing new insights into neutron star behavior and particle acceleration.Axiom Space AX4 Crew ReturnsThe Axiom Space AX4 crew has successfully splashed down in the North Pacific Ocean after nearly three weeks aboard the International Space Station. This mission, part of NASA's efforts to promote commercial activities in space, included a diverse crew and numerous scientific experiments. With the return of the AX4 crew, preparations are underway for NASA's upcoming Crew 11 mission, further expanding humanity's presence in low Earth orbit.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357Journal of the American Medical Associationhttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 New interstellar object 3I/Atlas may be older than our solar system06:44 Foreign astronomers have discovered new evidence Explaining how pulsing remnants interact in space14:09 Private company Axiom Space's AX4 crew return safely to Earth16:06 Having a higher body mass index from early childhood and adolescence is linked to aging17:32 New study looked at which over the counter medicines are good at treating depression18:43 Brazilian psychic issues chilling warning about dangers posed by artificial intelligence

In Chile, a powerful new telescope has just given a taster of what we can expect from it later this year, when it will be used to survey the cosmos over a ten-year period. In one image it revealed vast colourful gas and dust clouds swirling in a star-forming region 9,000 light years from the Earth. Housed in the Vera C Rubin Observatory, which sits on a mountain in the Chilean Andes, the telescope is designed to get giant images of the sky about one hundred times larger and quicker than any other existing telescope can achieve. It contains the world's most largest digital camera, the size of a large car. When the Legacy Survey of Space and Time begins towards the end of 2025, the camera will film the entire Southern hemisphere night sky for the next decade, every three days, repeating the process over and over. And it will focus on four areas: mapping changes in the skies or transient objects, the formation of the Milky Way, mapping the Solar System and understanding dark matter or how the universe formed. So, on this week's Inquiry, we're asking, ‘What will Chile's latest telescope tell us about the Universe?'Contributors: Catherine Heymans, Professor of Astrophysics, University of Edinburgh, Astronomer Royal for Scotland, UK Željko Ivezić, Director of Rubin Construction, Professor of Astronomy, University of Washington, USA Dr. Megan Schwamb, Planetary Astronomer, Reader, School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland Dr. Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Observational Astronomer, Assistant Professor, Physics and Astronomy, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, USAPresenter: Charmaine Cozier Producers: Louise Clarke and Jill Collins Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey Image Credit: Anadolu via Getty Images

Nestled in the historic coastal town of Rye, England, the Union Inn wears its age like old wallpaper—But beneath its cozy pub charm and seaside air hangs a darker weight. In this episode, the Hosts step into a centuries-old establishment (Now a steakhouse) where the beer flows, the lights flicker, and the ghosts never check out. From a spectral seaman who strolls through walls to a woman in red searching for something long buried—possibly her child—this story blends local legend, eyewitness accounts, and the unsettling discovery of actual human remains sealed in a wall. Join us as we sip spirits of a different kind and explore one of England's most quietly chilling haunts. And maybe don't use the downstairs loo… Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Haunting of the Union Inn!Music and Editing by Gage HurleyCheck out VaporVerse: https://www.youtube.com/@vaporversemusic++++Check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/creepstreetpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/creepstreetpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@creepstreetpodcast5062?feature=sharedTikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@creepstreetpodcast#HauntedPlaces #ParanormalActivity #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #CreepyHistory #HauntedBritain #CreepStreetPodcast #RealHauntings #VictorianGhosts #PoltergeistPhenomena #UnionInnHaunting #HauntedPub #GhostsOfRye #EastSussexHauntings #HauntedEngland #GhostlyInnkeepers #VictorianHaunting #ToiletGhosts #PostmanPatGhost #SpookySeason #GhostHunters #HauntedHistory #DarkTourism #TrueHorror #UnsolvedMysteries #BritishHauntings #GhostEncounters #CreepyPodcast #HauntedTales

The Andromeda galaxy lies just beyond (...OK, about 2.5 million light-years beyond) our galaxy, the Milky Way. For the past hundred years or so, scientists thought these galaxies existed in a long-term dance of doom — destined to crash into one another and combine into one big galactic soup. But today on the show, Regina and computational astrophysicist Arpit Arora explain why a recent paper out in the journal Nature Astronomy suggests this cosmic game of bumper cars may never come to a head at all.
