Australia is known for its unusual animal life, from koalas to kangaroos. But once upon a time, the Australian landscape had even weirder fauna, like Palorchestes azael, a marsupial with immense claws and a small trunk. There was Protemnodon mamkurra, a massive, slow-moving, kangaroo-like creature. And Zygomaturus trilobus, a wombat the size of a hippo. They're all extinct now, and researchers are trying to figure out why. Host Flora Lichtman talks with researcher Carli Peters about ZooMS, a technique that allows researchers to use collagen from ancient bone fragments to identify species, offering clues to those ancient extinction events. Peters recently described using the technique in the journal Frontiers in Mammal Science.And, a recent study in the journal Nature Astronomy hints that our own Milky Way galaxy may not be doomed to collide with Andromeda after all. Till Sawala, an astrophysicist at the University of Helsinki, joins Flora to talk about the finding.Guests: Dr. Carli Peters is a postdoctoral researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center for Archaeology and the Evolution of Human Behavior at the University of Algarve in Faro, Portugal.Dr. Till Sawala is an astrophysicist at the University of Helsinki.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

In this episode, the Hosts plunge face-first into the steam-hissing, ghost-babbling chaos that was John Murray Spear, a 19th-century spiritualist who claimed to be in communication with an ascended club of spirits. Spear wasn't just talking to ghosts—he said he was communing with a celestial think tank of late geniuses called The Association of Electrizers, including Benjamin Franklin, among others. The goal of these souls? To build the God Machine—a mechanical messiah forged from gears, magnets, and pure, uncut lunacy. It's American exceptionalism by way of séance.

A perfect spiral galaxy would include a bright, round “bulge” of stars in the middle; glittering spiral arms wrapping around it; dark lanes of dust lacing through the arms; and bright star clusters sprinkled about like lights on a Christmas wreath. In other words, it would look just like Messier 81, one of the best examples of a “grand design” spiral galaxy. It’s about 12 million light-years away, and appears close to the bowl of the Big Dipper. It’s a bit smaller and less massive than our own home galaxy, the Milky Way. M81’s “bulge,” though, is much larger and brighter than the one in the center of the Milky Way. And the black hole in the galaxy’s heart is almost 20 times as massive as the Milky Way’s. The spiral arms are outlined by the galaxy’s youngest, brightest stars. Over the past 600 million years or so, a major bout of starbirth has brightened the arms. That outburst is the result of gravitational interactions between M81 and two companion galaxies. The encounters compress big clouds of gas and dust. The clouds break into clumps, which then collapse to form stars – stars that make Messier 81 one of the most beautiful galaxies of all. Under clear, dark skies, you can spot M81 with binoculars. Find the Big Dipper, which is high in the north at nightfall. M81 hangs below the bowl at that hour. It looks like an oval smudge of light that’s almost as wide as the Moon.

This episode will make you think twice about taking the stairs, Creep Street! The forest hums with a frequency no sane mind can chart. In every crooked glen and moss-choked hollow, the staircases rise — freestanding, and impossibly placed. No ruins. No walls. Just stairs ascending into the air. Madness with banisters. The air bends around them. Time stutters. People vanish. Dogs howl and lose the scent of life itself. These are not artifacts of human hands, rather, they are invitations. They are traps. Lets take the bait together. Join the Hosts as they plunge headlong into a mystery of unnerving consequence, where every step weakens one's sanity, and the forest watches with lidless eyes. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourself for Staircase In The Woods! Music and Editing by Gage Hurley Check out VaporVerse:    / @vaporversemusic  ++++Check out our Patreon:   / creepstreetpodcast  Instagram:   / creepstreetpodcast  YouTube:    / @creepstreetpodcast5062  TikTik:   / creepstreetpodcast   #ParanormalPodcast #CryptidEncounters #ScaryStoryTime #TrueScaryStories #StayParanoid #MidnightShiftHorror #CreepStreetPodcast #ParanormalEncounters #ParanormalActivity #UnexplainedMysteries #CreepyStories #AlienEncounters #UrbanLegends #WeirdButTrue #SupernaturalMysteries #ScaryPodcast #HorrorCommunity #HorrorPodcast #CreepyTales #SpookySeason #ExploreTheUnknown #MythAndMystery #ComedySketch #Comedy #ComedyShorts #HorrorComedy #ParanormalTikTok #WeirdHistory #SpookySeason #GhostsAndGhouls #ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight #IntoTheUnknown #OccultMysteries #HauntedArtifacts #OccultFolklore #DarkFolklore #SupernaturalLore #StaircasesInTheWoods #Creepypasta #UnsolvedMysteries #UrbanLegends #Missing411 #BackwoodsTerror #CreepyEncounters #ForestHorror #ParanormalMystery #StrangeDisappearances#CreepStreetPodcast #HorrorPodcast #ParanormalPodcast #TrueHorrorStories #CampfireTales #MysteryPodcast #LiminalSpaces #AnalogHorror #CreepTok #FolkloreHorror #WeirdNature #WildernessMystery #SearchAndRescueStories

Some songs feel like time capsules — tiny sonic spaceships hurtling through decades, landing in the present with a burst of nostalgia and a wink to the past. Michelle MaxiNe's latest single, “Milky Way”, is exactly that: a shimmering, irresistibly fun homage to the glitter-soaked, heart-on-your-sleeve era of ‘80s disco pop, reframed through the lens of a modern romantic. And the result is pure starlight.Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, and raised in the Netherlands, MaxiNe's creative trajectory is as multifaceted as her cultural background. A former classical singer turned fashion model, stylist, and now rising pop auteur, she's been steadily building a sound that's as eclectic as her resume. And while her earlier works hinted at this expansive artistic curiosity, “Milky Way” feels like the moment everything clicks into place.

Matt Webb doesn't just talk about emerging technologies—he builds with them, lives with them, and prototypes the futures they might bring. In this episode, Lou Rosenfeld talks with Webb—designer, technologist, and featured speaker at the upcoming Designing with AI 2025 conference—about how GenAI represents a kind of temporal leap: a sudden arrival of capabilities that feel like they should've taken another decade to develop. Matt shares how he explores "weak signals"—small, often personal experiments or observations that hint at larger shifts to come. From building an early website with GPT-3 to creating an app that tracks the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Matt explains how play, laziness, and curiosity drive his invention process. He also touches on how GenAI changes our relationship to search, learning, and even design itself—pushing us into a world where conversations with information replace traditional retrieval methods. The discussion spans adaptive design, epistemic journeys, and the potential for everyone to become a maker of tools, apps, and meaning.

New research is upending long-held conclusions about the fate of our galaxy. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

Astrophiz 215: Dr Ian Musgrave's June SkyGuide Summary: Mars close to thin crescent moon. Occultation of Antares behind the moon in the early evening sky. The moon comes close to some of the bright planets. … and Mars is close to the moon again at the end of the month. Moon Phases: June 3 ~ 1st Quarter Moon, and another time to catch the ‘Lunar X' late in the night, about 11pm for Australian Eastern states. 10:30 for central states and 9pm in the West. Lunar X Tip: take an image each 1/2 hour from moonrise. June 7 ~ Apogee, furthest from earth June 11 ~ Full Moon June 19 ~ Last Quarter Moon ~ ideal for stargazing June 23 ~ Perigee, closest to earth June 25 ~ New Moon ~ ideal for stargazing June 21 ~ Solstice: shortest day in Southern Hemisphere. longest day in Northern Hemisphere Evening Skies: Jupiter is lost into the twilight Mercury returns to evening skies mid-month, on the 27th it's 3°from the moon an hour after sunset, and will continue to be excellent until mid-July. Mars is low in the NW evening skies, and is still readily visible T Coronae Borealis is visible in late evening skies and still has not ‘Gone Nova' so the challenge is still … to capture a Nova before and after it blows! This Nova iswell ‘overdue' so all eyes are on it! Tuesday 10 June ~ The Occultation of Antares by the Moon is easily seen in binoculars and telescopes (for times, check Ian's Astroblogger website) Also June is a great opportunity to see The Dark Emu in the south, the Southern Cross and the magnificent globular cluster Omega Centauri is also at it's highest in the south. Morning Skies: Venus is furthest from the sun on 1 June, and is a half-moon shape in telescopes, and beside the crescent moon on 22 June Saturn is climbing higher in the morning sky, Scorpius is a feature in the dark morning sky in the east Saggitarius and the Heart of the Milky Way are also rising, a good opportunity to catch the Triffid and Lagoon nebulas in Saggitarius. Ian's 'Tangent' Ian discusses long-lived aspects of Indigenous astronomy like The Eagle, Stingray and Dark Emu, and how Western constellation names have changed over time. eg Argo was declared obsolete in 1930. Ian's Astrophotography Challenges: 1. Capture The Occultation of Antares on June 10th (almost full moon) 2. Then on a dark night with no moon, have a go at The Dark Emu, with your mobile phone/DSLR/camera, conveniently at 8pm in the south near Scorpius, the Pointers and the Southern Cross. Tips: Use your device's highest ISO (ASA) Under urban skies, take 10 x1second exposures, and stack them using a free stacking program or app. Under dark skies, you can take longer exposures If stacking in RAW, do a ‘dark frame' subtraction If stacking in JPEG, don't use dark frame subtraction.

Can we make the Van Allen belts safe to fly through? Why not get a super gravity assist from the Sun? Can we predict the next supernova in the Milky Way? And in our extended Q&A+ version, what's going on with the ocean rocks producing electricity at the bottom? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

It began with a death and ended in revelation—a person walks out of their own funeral and declares themselves a prophet of the Lord, aflame with divine fury. Jemima Wilkinson, now the Publick Universal Friend, rode out into the American wilds with apocalyptic thunder in their throat and a posse of true believers in tow. In this week's fever dream of an episode, the Hosts gallop headlong into 18th-century religious mania, shattered identities, and a cult that danced on the knife's edge between sainthood and spectacle. This ain't Sunday school, folks—this is a sermon from the mouth of a living ghost. So lace your boots, load your pistols, and prepare to be baptized in weirdness. God rides a dark horse, and today, so do we.

This quantum theory of gravity aims to unify gravity with the fundamental forces of nature, offering potential solutions to some of the most profound questions in physics, including the nature of dark matter and dark energy. We explore the implications of this theory and how it could reshape our understanding of the universe's origins and the behavior of black holes.The Moon's Hot SideRecent findings suggest that the Moon's near side is significantly hotter than its far side, with temperatures reaching up to 170 degrees Celsius higher. This research, based on data from NASA's GRAIL mission, reveals how geological differences between the lunar sides could be attributed to thermal variations in the Moon's mantle. We discuss the potential for these methods to enhance our understanding of other celestial bodies, including Mars and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.White Dwarf Pulsars: A Stellar DiscoveryAstronomers have made a remarkable discovery of a white dwarf star that emits radio pulses, challenging the notion that only neutron stars can produce such signals. This discovery, reported in Nature Astronomy, opens up new avenues for understanding pulsar mechanisms and their sources across the Milky Way. We examine the significance of this finding and what it means for our knowledge of stellar evolution.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesReports on Progress in Physicshttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/0034-4885Naturehttps://www.nature.com/nature/Nature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 65 for broadcast on 30 May 202501:00 New theory of gravity12:15 The Moon's thermal characteristics22:30 Discovery of white dwarf pulsars30:00 Skywatch: June night skies and the Taurids meteor shower

Eighty percent of the world's population can't see The Milky Way. Light pollution interferes. Author and adventurer Craig Childs, of Norwood, Colorado, writes about a trek from light to dark in his new book. "The Wild Dark" takes readers from the incandescence of Las Vegas to the spangled skies of rural Nevada. Childs spoke with Sr. Host Ryan Warner at this month's Mountain Words Festival in Crested Butte.

#QueenIsabella #CastleRising #MedievalMystery #HauntedCastles #SheWolfOfFranceSomewhere between the cracked flagstones of English monarchy and the gory lunacy of medieval justice, a shadow still stalks the hollow ruins of Castle Rising. In this episode, the Hosts plunge face-first into the dark, shrieking heart of Queen Isabella of France—lover, usurper, maybe regicide, maybe victim—and her slow descent into something howling and unholy. Was it madness? Guilt? Or did her sins rot so deep into the stone that the walls themselves began to echo with screams? We're not dealing with a ghost story in the traditional sense—this is blood-soaked power politics filtered through torchlight paranoia and ancient stone. We've got red-hot pokers, spectral greyhounds, manic laughter ringing through upper chambers, and an English castle held together by moss, memory, and vengeance. This isn't a history lesson—it's a séance held at swordpoint. Pull your cloak tight, dear listener… and keep your back away from the wall. Something walks these ruins still.
