Space scientist Les Johnson tells the story behind his role in creating "Pluto," the last novel in sci-fi master Ben Bova's Grand Tour series and one of the first works of fiction to incorporate revelations from NASA's New Horizons mission.

Electro metal group Solence frontman Markus Videsäter caught up with HEAVY's Ali Williams to chat about their upcoming release, Angels Calling, and the inevitable album tour. Originally from LA, these guys are now settled in Sweden in the hope of optimising their expansion. Solence formed back in 2012 and had initially released tracks in increments in a build-up to their first album, Brothers, back in 2019.The success they saw from this catapulted them into the algorithm, which meant Spotify was kind to them, and we all know what happens when you scratch Spotify in the right place.Making a significant amount of their music during the COVID epidemic had unprecedented results, none of which could be predicted. As Markus stated, Solence could see the numbers they had, but that didn't transpire into the realisation that those numbers were real people actually digesting their music. So when they were invited to perform alongside Five Finger Death Punch, the band individually and collectively had their minds blown at the surreal nature of their growth.Fast-forward to 2025, and Solence are locked in and serious about gaining more traction. Their latest release, Angels Calling, comes out on October 31 and will be available on all platforms. That date corresponds with the band's upcoming European tour that kicks off on November 7 and finishes up on December 6.Markus informs us that after their tour, Solence have some exciting new plans for 2026, and although he stopped short of revealing what those plans were, he has strongly recommended fans stay tuned and keep a close eye on things.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Kalemegdan's Echoes: A Sibling Journey to New Horizons Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-10-26-07-38-20-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Док се сунце полако спуштало изнад Калемегдана, Никола и Весна ходали су познатим стазама тврђаве.En: As the sun slowly set over Kalemegdan, Nikola and Vesna walked along the familiar paths of the fortress.Sr: Шуштање лишћа под ногама подсећало их је на детињство.En: The rustling of leaves under their feet reminded them of childhood.Sr: Никола је са осмехом гледао на крепке зидине, сећајући се безбрижних дана проведених у игри.En: Nikola smiled as he looked at the sturdy walls, recalling carefree days spent in play.Sr: „Сећаш ли се када смо се пењали на ове зидине?En: "Do you remember when we used to climb these walls?"Sr: “ питао је Никола.En: Nikola asked.Sr: Весна је климнула главом, осећајући топлину тих успомена, али у њеном срцу била је другачија жеља.En: Vesna nodded, feeling the warmth of those memories, but her heart had a different desire.Sr: „Да, али сада сам спремна да видим још тога,“ уздахну она, очима тражећи путању ка новим хоризонтима.En: "Yes, but now I'm ready to see more," she sighed, her eyes searching for a path toward new horizons.Sr: Никола је осетио њену чежњу за променом.En: Nikola sensed her longing for change.Sr: Њему је важно било да одрже породицу на окупу, посебно након свих промена у њиховим животима.En: It was important to him to keep the family together, especially after all the changes in their lives.Sr: Хтео је да врати оно што су некад имали.En: He wanted to bring back what they once had.Sr: Али Весна је другачије размишљала.En: But Vesna thought differently.Sr: Док су седели на старом клупи са погледом на ушће Саве и Дунава, напетост између њих постала је опипљива.En: As they sat on the old bench overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube, the tension between them became palpable.Sr: Хладни јесењи ветар увијао је лишће око њих, као да их подсећа да време брзо пролази.En: The cold autumn wind swirled leaves around them, as if reminding them that time passes quickly.Sr: "Треба ми простор, Никола," рекла је Весна, гласом који је дрхтао од уверења.En: "I need space, Nikola," Vesna said, her voice trembling with conviction.Sr: "Време је да пратим свој пут.En: "It's time for me to follow my own path."Sr: "Николине очи тугом су засјале.En: Nikola's eyes shone with sadness.Sr: "Страх ме је да ћемо се удаљити, да ћеш заборавити колико је породица важна.En: "I'm afraid we will drift apart, that you'll forget how important family is."Sr: "Њихова расправа уздрмала је тишину Калемегдана.En: Their argument disrupted the silence of Kalemegdan.Sr: Гласови су одјекивали зидинама, доносећи давне емоције на површину.En: Their voices echoed off the walls, bringing ancient emotions to the surface.Sr: Свађали су се, али је то било потребно, као исцељујући дар.En: They quarreled, but it was necessary, like a healing gift.Sr: На крају, Весна је ухватила Николину руку.En: In the end, Vesna took Nikola's hand.Sr: „Пожели ми срећу на мом путу.En: "Wish me luck on my journey.Sr: И ја ћу ти увек бити уз тебе,“ обећала је.En: And I will always be by your side," she promised.Sr: Никола је климнуо главом, а топлина се вратила у његов осмех.En: Nikola nodded, and warmth returned to his smile.Sr: „Поверење ти је дато, сестро.En: "Trust is given to you, sister."Sr: “Схватили су да ма колико год се путеви разилазили, везе које су их спајале остају јаке.En: They realized that no matter how their paths diverged, the bonds that connected them remained strong.Sr: Јесен је наставила да шири свјеже лишће, симболизујући нове почетке за обоје.En: Autumn continued to spread fresh leaves, symbolizing new beginnings for both.Sr: Одлазили су са Калемегдана с осећајем мира, спремни да прихвате будућност са надом и љубављу.En: They left Kalemegdan with a sense of peace, ready to embrace the future with hope and love.

Pendant des décennies, Pluton a été la neuvième planète de notre système solaire. Découverte en 1930 par l'astronome américain Clyde Tombaugh, elle figurait dans tous les manuels scolaires. Mais en 2006, coup de théâtre : l'Union astronomique internationale (UAI) décide de la rétrograder, et Pluton cesse officiellement d'être une planète. Pourquoi ?Tout part d'une définition. Jusqu'au début du XXIᵉ siècle, le terme « planète » n'était pas vraiment défini de façon rigoureuse. Les astronomes s'en tenaient surtout à l'usage. Mais les progrès de l'observation ont compliqué les choses. À partir des années 1990, on découvre dans la ceinture de Kuiper — une région glacée aux confins du système solaire — de nombreux corps célestes comparables à Pluton. Le plus marquant fut Éris, découvert en 2005, légèrement plus massif que Pluton. Si Pluton était une planète, fallait-il alors en ajouter des dizaines d'autres ?L'UAI a donc tranché. En 2006, elle adopte une définition précise d'une planète :1. Elle doit orbiter autour du Soleil.2. Elle doit être suffisamment massive pour prendre une forme sphérique, sous l'effet de sa gravité.3. Elle doit avoir « nettoyé » son orbite, c'est-à-dire être dominante et avoir éliminé les autres objets de taille comparable autour d'elle.Pluton remplit les deux premiers critères, mais pas le troisième. Son orbite est encombrée : elle croise celle de Neptune et partage son espace avec d'autres corps de la ceinture de Kuiper. Elle n'est donc pas « maîtresse » de son environnement. Résultat : Pluton perd son statut de planète.Depuis, elle est classée parmi les planètes naines, au même titre qu'Éris, Cérès ou Makémaké. Cela ne la rend pas moins intéressante, bien au contraire. En 2015, la sonde New Horizons a révélé un monde complexe, avec des montagnes de glace, une atmosphère fine et peut-être un océan sous sa surface.La controverse n'a pourtant pas disparu. De nombreux astronomes et une partie du public continuent de considérer Pluton comme une planète « de cœur ». Pour beaucoup, cette décision illustre la tension entre la rigueur scientifique et l'attachement populaire.En résumé, Pluton n'a pas quitté notre système solaire : elle y brille toujours, mais son titre a changé. Ce qui a disparu, ce sont nos certitudes, remplacées par une vision plus nuancée et plus riche de ce qu'est une planète. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover some of the most exciting discoveries and developments in the universe, including the detection of the brightest fast radio burst ever observed, the New Horizons spacecraft's record-setting hibernation, and an innovative method for generating oxygen in space.Brightest Fast Radio Burst DetectedAstronomers have identified what is being hailed as the brightest fast radio burst (FRB) ever recorded. Catalogued as FRB 2025 0316A, this extraordinary flash of energy was detected 130 million light years away in the spiral galaxy NGC 4141. The burst's unprecedented brightness and proximity provide scientists with a unique opportunity to study its origins and the environment surrounding it, potentially shedding light on the enigmatic sources of these fleeting cosmic phenomena.New Horizons Enters Record HibernationNASA's New Horizons spacecraft has officially begun a record-setting hibernation period as it journeys through the Kuiper Belt, now over 9.2 billion kilometres from Earth. This hibernation will last until June 2026, surpassing its previous record of 273 days. Despite being in hibernation, the spacecraft will continue to collect valuable data on charged particles and dust in the outer heliosphere, which will be transmitted back to Earth upon reactivation.Revolutionary Oxygen Generation in SpaceIn a significant advancement for future space missions, scientists have developed a new method for generating oxygen in space using neodymium magnets to enhance the electrolysis process. This innovative approach simplifies the extraction of oxygen bubbles from water, potentially replacing complex systems currently used in microgravity environments. By leveraging magnetic forces, this technique could improve the efficiency and reliability of oxygen production for astronauts.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205NASAhttps://www.nasa.gov/Nature Chemistryhttps://www.nature.com/nchem/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Brightest Fast Radio Burst DetectedNew Horizons Enters Record HibernationRevolutionary Oxygen Generation in Space

If you were dropped in a random place in space, how would you find your way home? New Horizons tackled this problem with a first interstellar navigation demonstration. Using parallax in real time to determine its position in space. How did they pull it off and what other interesting things can spacecraft do? Finding out in this interview.

In this second installment of our series on Europe, Schroders Capital's Nick Montgomery and CBRE's Lee Bruce share insights on AI-driven strategies, sustainability and asset repricing.From This Episode: Recent insights on the U.K. investment market:U.K. investment volume has picked up since late last year, buoyed by international capital.AI and data tools are streamlining everything from valuations to investment analysis, enabling faster, more informed decisions while freeing up time for high-value activities.The office sector continues to bifurcate, with top-tier, amenity-rich spaces commanding strong rents while the lowest-grade assets face obsolescence or conversion.Sustainability is a key performance driver, with occupiers and investors increasingly rewarding green buildings and penalizing outdated, inefficient assets.Despite global uncertainty, international capital, particularly from Asia and Australia, is returning to the U.K., signaling renewed confidence in its real estate fundamentals.

Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Looking askance… Dear Cheap Astronomy – have we got any spacecraft on the other side of the Sun? Well, yes and no. Nearly all our spacecraft orbit the Sun – since they are either orbiting Earth or another planet or are touring the asteroid belt – and hence they've all been around the back of the Sun at one time another. The only spacecraft we don't have orbiting the Sun are the ones on their way out of the Solar System – the Pioneers, the Voyagers and New Horizons, which have sufficient escape velocities to leave solar orbit.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – Hubble crisis So there's a crisis in cosmology apparently. Although, in most respects it's just business as usual really. There aren't many scientists who are overwhelmed by existential angst when they suddenly realize they don't know everything. The crisis first started being talked around 2014 as it became apparent there consistent discrepancies in measurements of the Hubble constant, which is a measurement of how fast the Universe is expanding.   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!
