Podcasts about Milky Way

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

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. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Cult of the Public Universal Friend! Sound and Editing by Gage HurleyCheck 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 #PublickUniversalFriend #AmericanProphets #ReligiousHistory#PublickUniversalFriend #AmericanProphets #ReligiousHistory #SecondGreatAwakening #18thCenturyAmerica

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.

rWotD Episode 2946: NGC 5101 Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 28 May 2025, is NGC 5101.NGC 5101 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Hydra. It is separated in the sky from the spiral galaxy NGC 5078 by about 0.5 degrees, and both are believed to be at the same distance from the Earth. This would mean they are approximately 800,000 light-years apart. Both galaxies are believed to be about the size of the Milky Way.One supernova has been observed in NGC 5101: SN 1986B (type I, mag. 17) was discovered by Bruno Leibundgut and L. Cameron on 13 February 1986.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Wednesday, 28 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see NGC 5101 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

#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. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Isabella: The She-Wolf Queen! Sound 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/creepstreetpodcast YouTube: https://youtube.com/@creepstreetpodcast5062?feature=sharedTikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@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 #StayFreaky

Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) are particles with energies up to $3times 10^20 eV$, originating from unknown sources and producing extensive air showers in Earth's atmosphere. In this talk, I will review the current status of UHECR observations, including the energy spectrum, mass composition, and anisotropy in their arrival directions. I will highlight how the knowledge of the Galactic Magnetic Field (GMF) of the Milky Way is crucial for identifying UHECR sources. Additionally, I will review recent models of the GMF. Finally, I will discuss the propagation of UHECRs from their sources through both intergalactic and galactic magnetic fields, and I will explore the prospects for future source identification.

The closest galaxy we can see other than our own Milky Way may be inside the Milky Way. Its outer precincts have been stripped away, leaving only its core – a tight ball of 10 million stars. And a rare type of black hole appears to lurk in its middle. Omega Centauri rolls low across the south during the night. The view is better from the southern half of the country. To the eye alone, it looks like a fuzzy star. Omega Centauri is classified as a globular cluster – a family of very old stars. It’s the biggest one in the galaxy. But it probably wasn’t born in the Milky Way. Instead, it began as a separate galaxy. But it was reeled in by the Milky Way’s gravity, which also pulled away most of its stars. Only the stars in the galaxy’s core stuck together. An intermediate-mass black hole appears to inhabit the center of the cluster. Such beasties are rare. Most black holes are either no more than about a hundred times the mass of the Sun, or a few hundred thousand times the Sun’s mass or more. A study a couple of decades ago reported a possible black hole in Omega Centauri weighing 40,000 times the Sun’s mass. Later work suggested that number was too high. The most recent estimate was compiled from 20 years of observations by Hubble Space Telescope. It puts the black hole at about 8,000 times the Sun’s mass – a rare black hole in the remnant of a dead galaxy. More about mid-sized black holes tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Hello beloved. Have you ever heard of the Pleiades? Not to be confused for the “Pleadians” Star Family Race, but that of the 7 sisters dancing in they sky, protecting and holding space for women of all kind.The veils are lifting and our connection to all that is.ALL THAT IS - is available for ALL by setting the intention and integrating their gifts into helping society transition into our next spiritual - golden age. That said, if you sense your here for this grand integration of heaven on earth, I want to share this incredible astrological transit.Pause and root in your essence as you invite the Pleiades Stargate and the essence of their beautiful protection. THE STORY. In Greek mythology, the Pleiades were the seven daughters of the sea-nymph Pleione and Atlas, a Titan condemned by Zeus to bear the sky on his shoulders forever.Their names—Maia, Electra, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope, and Merope—reflect their celestial legacy.The name Pleiades, derived from the Greek word pleiôn meaning “plenty,” signifies their title as “Ladies of Plenty.”The Myth recounts their pursuit by Orion, the giant hunter enamored with them.To shield them from his advances, Zeus transformed the sisters into stars, placing them in the night sky. Another story portrays the Pleiades as companions of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, who turned them into stars to safeguard them from Orion's relentless pursuit. The Pleiades constellation endures as a powerful symbol of sisterhood, embodying the strength and unity found in collective bonds.Today, the Pleiades resonate deeply with the divine feminine, representing a restoration of feminine energy rooted in nurturing, abundance, and resilience.Their celestial presence inspires modern movements to reclaim the divine feminine, fostering empowerment, fertility, and prosperity and the interconnectedness of women supporting one another.This constellation's enduring light serves as a reminder of the sacred feminine's role in healing and creating balance in a world yearning for unity and hope.Pleiades were the companions of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, who transformed them into stars to protect them from the advances of orion, a giant hunter.

This week the Hosts plunge into the spectral cesspool of digital damnation, as we boot up the blood-streaked cartridge and take a long, hard stare into the maw of Lavender Town Syndrome—a supposed phenomenon that emerged from the haunted silicon heart of 1990s Japan, leaving behind a trail of shrieking children, shattered minds, and data that no sane person would code. With a soundtrack engineered like a neural drill and tones pitched to summon something ungodly from the shadowy trench of our subconscious, this episode explores the sinister myth of a cursed Pokémon game. Was it mass hysteria, urban legend, or a digital sigil encoded with something far older than Pikachu? Join us as we chase spectral signals through the static haze, peeling back layers of corrupted code and weaponized nostalgia in search of answers. But be warned—there are some places the mind should never go. And this one comes with an 8-bit soundtrack tuned for madness. No gods. No masters. Just Game Boys... and the children who heard them calling...

In this episode of Spirit Box, I had the pleasure of speaking with folklorist and writer Scott Richardson-Read the brilliant mind behind Cailleach's Herbarium. The focus of today's chat is Scott's new book 'Mill Dust And Dreaming Bread, exploring Scottish folk belief & folk magic'. Together, we explore the deep roots of Scottish folk beliefs, looking at how animistic worldviews were layered over time with Christian, Norse, and Anglo-Saxon influence. Scott introduced me to the Gaelic concept of Dùthchas—the inherited right to place and belonging—and we discussed its significance in shaping Highland identity and political history. We also touched on the shared rhythms of Irish and Scottish Gaelic, the legacy of Alexander Carmichael and the Carmina Gadelica, and the enduring power of charms and spoken magic. One story that really stood out was that of St. Columba lending out his sacred book, only to burn it upon its return—a tale that sparked a discussion about healing, miracle-working, and the threads of folk magic that persist beneath the surface of Christianity. Through it all, Scott painted a vivid picture of a world where people lived in deep, reciprocal relationship with land, weather, ancestors, and the unseen. In the Plus show we ventured deeper into the mythic and cosmological territory of his book. We talked about the Three Worlds, the Primordial Twin, and how these ancient ideas mirror spiritual systems across the globe. We explored the notion of a pact between realms, the sacred nature of hospitality, and what it means to live in a world where everything is animate and interconnected. One of the most fascinating parts of the Plus Show was our discussion on the origins of spoken healing charms—those poetic, potent utterances passed down through families to stop bleeding, mend bones, or ward off illness. Scott spoke beautifully about how these charms carry ancestral knowledge, and I shared stories of people I know who still use them today. We also talked about the Cailleach, the powerful old woman of Gaelic tradition—part ancestor, part deity—who shapes weather and land and who remains a potent figure in both lore and personal practice. Scott spoke about how the Cailleach features in his work and how she represents the deep animism and ecological awareness at the heart of Scottish folk cosmology. We closed our conversation reflecting on the deep-time resonance of folklore—from the Milky Way as the Path of the White Cow to the sacred symbolism of rivers, straw, and cows. This wasn't just a discussion about stories; it was about remembering who we are, where we come from, and how we might live again in right relationship with the world around us.

This study, published in Physical Review Letters, suggests that huge clouds of positively charged hydrogen may be linked to this elusive substance. The findings challenge existing models of dark matter, proposing that lighter particles may be responsible for unexplained chemical reactions observed in the galactic center.Lunar Gateway Space Station Takes ShapeIn an exciting development for lunar exploration, the first habitation module for the Lunar Gateway Space Station has arrived in the United States. Known as the Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO), this module will serve as a command hub for future missions to the Moon and Mars. We discuss the integration of HALO with the Power and Propulsion Element and the implications for the Artemis program.Space Junk Threatens the ISSWe also cover the alarming increase in space debris, as NASA is forced to maneuver the International Space Station to avoid a potential collision with fragments of a Chinese rocket.

The NASA Kepler Spacecraft has discovered more than 2,000 planets which have been confirmed to be orbiting distant stars. It performs this remarkable feat by imaging more than 145,000 stars simultaneously to observe and measure the tiny dips in light which occur as a planet passes in front of its star. Astronomers have long known that many of the solar systems in the Milky Way have more than one star. To investigate the possibilities for life in a double star system, Dr Max Popp a scholar at Princeton University and Dr. Siegfried Eggl of Germany's Max Plank Institute substituted the real giant planet orbiting the stellar pair Kepler 35A and B with an Earth sized one orbiting the Kepler AB pair with periods between 341 and 380 days.

The Moon comes Full on Monday, then wanes through the Milky Way on the anniversary of the death of Emily Dickinson, a teller of the All-Embracing True Tales (as the ancients called poetry and myth).

If a black hole shreds a star and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Professor Yvette Cendes, (aka u/Andromeda321 on Reddit), a Radio Astronomer studying transient radio signals from space. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, a report by the Dark Energy Survey that seems to show that the amount of dark energy originally described as the cosmological constant by Albert Einstein might in fact be variable. As Prof. Cendes explains, the data indicates that universal expansion is still accelerating but the rate might be changing. After Yvette explains what she does, and how radio astronomy works in concert with optical astronomy to deliver a more complete understanding, Chuck asks her to explain Tidal Disruption Events, or TDEs, about which she's a world expert. A TDE is when a star wanders too close to a supermassive black hole and ends up getting shredded. Yvette prefers to call them “Shredders.” Our first audience question comes from Nachama, who asks, “When will the black hole in the Milky Way eat the Sun?” The good news, according to Yvette, is that will never happen. As she explains, black holes actually don't suck any more than anything that massive would, and we're 25-30,000 light years away from Sagittarius A* – too far away to worry about. Next, Chuck asks Yvette about one of the most famous transient signals we've ever found, the so called “Wow!” signal detected in 1977 by Jerry Ehman at the now-defunct Xavier Observatory in Ohio. Because the signal looked exactly like what might be expected if it were of extraterrestrial origin, Ehman circled it on the printout and wrote, “Wow!” Unfortunately, it never repeated. The most likely explanation, according to Dr. Cendes, is that it was some sort of manmade interference, although the signal is currently being reinvestigated. Yvette recounts how she ended up ended up as a first-term professor at the University of Oregon after studying in the Netherlands and Toronto and working at Harvard. Then she answers an audience question from Yan Min, who asks, “Where is the best place in the world to study astronomy? I live in New York – Is it New York?” Unfortunately for Yankees fans, Yvette says it would most likely be Cambridge, Massachusetts thanks to Harvard, which has the biggest number of astronomers under one roof and operates the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, and M.I.T. on the other side of town if you get bored. Chuck asks Yvette what happens after a black hole shreds a star. Shredders, she explains, are rare. In our own Milky Way, they probably happen once every million years. Once a TDE is classified by optical astronomers, Yvette and her team point their radio telescopes at the tidal radius outside of the event horizon to discern the outflows weeks, months and even years after the initial event. He also asks Yvette if she has any hobbies to help her decompress from thinking about violent events in the universe. She likes to cross stitch, the “original pixel art.” Yvette shows us a cross stitch she made of the James Webb Space Telescope complex mirror, another featuring an 8-bit Mario screen with the words “What doesn't kill me makes me smaller,” and a third with objects in the Solar System. She also embroiders and shows us a hoop featuring the constellations visible in the northern hemisphere night sky. We end with Yvette and Allen schooling Chuck about Reddit's immense reach and value in scientific discourse. One subreddit, called r/Space, has “27 million intelligent lifeforms” subscribed to it. On Reddit, Yvette's username is u/Andromeda321, and she's one of the top users on the platform over 1 million karma points. She's known for starting her posts that explain or comment on recent discoveries with the phrase, “Astronomer here!” If you'd like to follow Dr. Yvette Cendes, you can find her on Reddit, where she's u/Andromeda321, and her dedicated subreddit, reddit.com/r/Andromeda321.

In middle Scotland is an area of Earth that doesn't play by the rules of physics—or sanity. The locals call it the Falkirk Triangle. This week on Creep Street, we chase the shimmering tailpipe of madness through Bonnybridge, Gorebridge, Camelon and beyond—where flying black pyramids purr above the villages and fields biomechanical greys march across the land like ants. It's part tabloid, part eerie testimony, and entirely terrifying. Was King Arthur's ghost really seen wandering the hills while UFOs buzzed his crown? Did an entire Scottish family witness a faerie nest built from hay and spit while a glowing triangle hovered above them?… Indeed. We've got exopolitians, we've got changelings, we've got flaming orbs buzzing 737s and a man who begged his captors not to be frozen in a glass jar. So grab your thermos, check your electromagnetic pulses, and keep one eye on the ley lines—we're going into the highlands, baby. And something ancient is waiting.

The Gaia spacecraft took its final look at the stars in January. But its work is far from over. Its observations will be producing new discoveries for decades. Above Earth’s blurring atmosphere, the space telescope kept a sharp eye on the heavens for more than a decade. It studied about two billion objects – mostly stars. It measured their temperature, composition, and motion. And it plotted their positions with amazing precision. That’s allowed astronomers to produce the best 3-D maps of the Milky Way Galaxy to date – by far. Those maps have helped plot the origins of many stars – the remains of star clusters or even small galaxies pulled in by the Milky Way. And that’s revealed a lot more about the history of the entire galaxy. Gaia also looked at other galaxies, at asteroids and comets in the solar system, and many other objects. It even helped reveal a couple of planets in other star systems. The craft ran out of the gas it used to keep its telescope on target, bringing its mission to an end. But it takes a lot of time to process Gaia’s observations and release them for study. There have been three big batches so far, which have yielded more than 13,000 scientific papers. The next big release is scheduled for late next year. And the final release – everything Gaia saw and reported – won’t be ready until late 2030 at the earliest – a treasure trove that astronomers will be poking through for decades.

On the craggy coast of Wexford, Ireland stands a house with a reputation as grim as its weather. Once a manor of power and prestige, Loftus Hall is now remembered for something far stranger — a visit from a mysterious stranger, a terrified young woman, and a secret so dark it left an unfixable hole in the ceiling… and maybe even a body in the walls. This week, the Hosts dive headlong into one of Ireland's most infamous hauntings — where folklore, family shame, and the devil himself collide in a storm of spectral sightings and centuries-old scandal. From locked rooms and poltergeists to a priest's final showdown with something infernal, Loftus Hall remains a place where not even the dead rest easy. So grab your rosary, stoke the fire, and don't look too closely at what's sitting across the card table. Because at Loftus Hall — the Devil came calling… and someone let him in.

Astronomers have discovered a likely explanation for a fracture in a huge cosmic "bone" in the Milky Way galaxy, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and radio telescopes.

Trillions of icy bodies mark the edge of the solar system. They form a shell that extends one or two light-years from the Sun in every direction. A passing star may sometimes give some of them a nudge toward the Sun. When they get here, they become comets – visitors from the icy deep. That distant region is known as the Oort Cloud. It’s named for Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, who was born 125 years ago today. He proposed the existence of the cloud in 1950. And today, that’s his best-known accomplishment. Yet it’s far from his most important work. Early in his career, he confirmed that the Milky Way is a wide, flat, spinning disk. And he showed that, instead of inhabiting the center of the galaxy, the solar system is in the hinterlands – many thousands of light-years outside the heart. Oort spent most of his career at Leiden University in the Netherlands, including decades as director of Leiden Observatory. When Germany invaded the country, though, he left his post instead of working with the Nazis. When he returned, after World War II, he became a pioneer in the new field of radio astronomy. He mapped giant clouds of gas and dust throughout the galaxy. Their distribution provided even more proof of his picture of the Milky Way. Oort continued his research until shortly before his death, in 1992. Scientists have named quite a few things in his honor, including an asteroid – and the icy shell known as the Oort Cloud.

Our journey begins with a lunatic on London Bridge—Roger Downes, an aristocratic gremlin with booze in his belly and blood in his eyes—whose homicidal boasting ends with his own decapitation, and a legacy that haunts Wardley Hall with a toothy grin. But the ghost of Downes isn't alone in his cursed company.We claw through centuries of death-laced ecclesiastical drama, uncovering the tale of St. Ambrose Barlow, a Benedictine martyr whose severed skull radiates holy menace from its niche atop the stairwell. In a storm-rattled manor, his head refuses to be dismissed—resurrected in legend and defiant in spirit.From there, the madness spirals further: a skull unearthed at Browsholme Hall may belong to a noble slain in Henry VIII's wrathful purge of the Pilgrimage of Grace. At Longleat, a boyish marquess gets too cheeky with a forgotten head and winds up in a ditch. And finally, the tale of the Red Barn Murderer's skull—a relic passed like a cursed baton from hand to trembling hand, leaving broken bones, smashed glass, and icy breath in its wake.Threaded through it all is the ancient Celtic notion that the skull is the seat of the soul—a cosmic belief of madness and magnificence whispered through ages. The Hosts talk ghost dogs, disembodied heads, skeletal vengeance, and enough headless horsemen to make Sleepy Hollow feel quaint.So strap in, you thrill-hungry maniacs. Volume 2 peels back the lid and dares you to look inside. But be warned—these skulls remember. And they do not forgive.

There are relics in this world that do not rest, nor do they sleep. In this first volume of our descent into the grotesque and uncanny, we peer into the hollow sockets of the screaming skulls — cursed remnants that wail through stone walls, slam doors in the night, and whisper horrors no living soul was meant to hear. From ancient battlefields to crumbling English estates, these sentient fragments of the dead defy burial, demanding not peace, but presence. Join the Hosts as they cross the threshold of folklore and madness— and where death is no guarantee of silence.

This discovery sheds light on the geochemical differences between the two hemispheres and offers fresh perspectives on lunar evolution and the implications for the Moon's origin.Asteroid 2024 YR4: From Earth Threat to Lunar TargetNext, we track the journey of asteroid 2024 YR4, which initially garnered attention as a potential Earth impactor. However, new observations indicate that this 60-meter-wide asteroid is now on a collision course with the Moon, raising the likelihood of an impact to 3.5%. We discuss its unique characteristics and the ongoing studies aimed at understanding its origins and physical properties.Singing Stars and Galactic HistoryAdditionally, we explore how stellar seismology is revealing the evolutionary history of stars in the open cluster Messier 67. By analyzing the oscillations of these stars, astronomers can map the history of the Milky Way and gain insights into stellar evolution.

Hosted by Rob Sparks. Description: The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) at Kitt Peak National Observatory has been collecting spectra of millions of galaxies to better understand dark energy, the mysterious force that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. The DESI collaboration recently released results based on the first three years of data that indicate dark energy is not a constant force. In this podcast, NOIRLab's Joan Najita discusses DESI and its groundbreaking results.    Bios: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Joan Najita is an astronomer at NOIRLab, NSF's research and development center for ground-based optical and infrared astronomy. She studies the origins of stars and planets and the life histories of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. A long-time advocate for "highly multiplexed spectroscopy" (i.e., facilities like DESI), she also studies how discoveries are made in astronomy, and works to develop new tools and facilities that sustain discovery.   Links: NORLab Press Release: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2512/ DESI's public webpage: https://www.desi.lbl.gov/ - DESI's YouTube channel, which features playlists of DESI talks from the March 2025 APS meeting and additional talks showcasing the BAO results:  https://www.youtube.com/@DESISurvey - Access the DESI data release through Astro Data Lab https://datalab.noirlab.edu/desi/index.php 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!

Mirrors — silent glassy oracles nailed to walls, hunched in corners, glaring at us with dead, merciless eyes. On tonight's episode, join the Hosts as they hurl themselves screaming into that esoteric cracked reflection: haunted mirrors, black scrying voids, silvered doors to places no sane mind should tread. From dusty parlors where to things unseen lurk, to blackened surfaces that drink sanity like wine, we chase the howling specters of human vanity — and what stares back when the flesh turns away. It's a journey into cold rooms and colder hearts, armed only with a flashlight, a bottle of something strong, and the gnawing certainty that no reflection is truly empty. Turn your back on the glass... if you dare. But beware: sometimes the glass does not turn its back on you. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Haunted Mirrors!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=shared TikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@creepstreetpodcast #ParanormalPodcast #CryptidEncounters #ScaryStoryTime #TrueScaryStories #StayParanoid #MidnightShiftHorror #CreepStreetPodcast #ParanormalEncounters #ParanormalActivity #UnexplainedMysteries #CreepyStories #AlienEncounters #UrbanLegends #WeirdButTrue#SupernaturalMysteries #ScaryPodcast #HorrorCommunity #HorrorPodcast #HauntedMountains #CreepyTales #SpookySeason #ExploreTheUnknown #MythAndMystery #ComedySketch #Comedy #ComedyShorts #HorrorComedy #WitchTok #ParanormalTikTok #WeirdHistory #CursedObjects #DontLookInTheMirror #SpookySeason #GhostsAndGhouls #ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight #IntoTheUnknown #Scrying #OccultMysteries #DarkMirror #MagicMirror #MirrorMirror #EvilQueen #SnowWhite #RachelZegler

Almost every star is a ball of hydrogen and helium, the simplest of all chemical elements. All of the hydrogen and most of the helium were forged in the Big Bang. Stars also contain smatterings of heavier elements. In astronomical jargon, these elements are known as metals. They were forged by the stars themselves. As the stars die, they expel some of these elements into space, where they can be incorporated into new stars. So each generation of stars contains a higher fraction of metals – everything from carbon and oxygen to iron and lead. Based on the amount of metals, astronomers divide stars into two broad categories – population I and II. The Sun belongs to population I. These stars contain fairly high levels of metals – about two percent in the case of the Sun. Such stars formed fairly recently – after earlier generations had pumped the heavy elements into space. The earliest generations yet seen form population II. These stars have a much smaller percentage of metals, which means they formed when there were fewer metals around – perhaps less than a billion years after the Big Bang. In our home galaxy, the Milky Way, many population II stars are found in globular clusters – balls of hundreds of thousands of stars on the galactic outskirts. The levels of metals indicate that some of these stars are up to 13 billion years old. The very first stars shouldn’t contain any metals at all. More about that tomorrow.

IS DARK MATTER FROM BEFORE THE BIG BANG?  2/8: The Elephant in the Universe: Our Hundred-Year Search for Dark Matter by  Govert Schilling  (Author), Avi Loeb  (Foreword) https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a64379333/dark-matter-older-than-universe/ https://www.amazon.com/Elephant-Universe-Hundred-Year-Search-Matter/dp/0674248996 In The Elephant in the Universe, Govert Schilling explores the fascinating history of the search for dark matter. Evidence for its existence comes from a wealth of astronomical observations. Theories and computer simulations of the evolution of the universe are also suggestive: they can be reconciled with astronomical measurements only if dark matter is a dominant component of nature. Physicists have devised huge, sensitive instruments to search for dark matter, which may be unlike anything else in the cosmos―some unknown elementary particle. Yet so far dark matter has escaped every experiment. Indeed, dark matter is so elusive that some scientists are beginning to suspect there might be something wrong with our theories about gravity or with the current paradigms of cosmology. Schilling interviews both believers and heretics and paints a colorful picture of the history and current status of dark matter research, with astronomers and physicists alike trying to make sense of theory and observation. 2016 MILKY WAY
