Timestamps:12:54 - The Y Combinator Journey16:24 - The Need for Solutions Like Bloom24:23 - Raising $3.4 million in three days 37:07 - The future of AI and software developmentCheck-out Bloom: https://bloom.diy/androidEpisode SummaryDavid Oort Alonso is the co-founder of Bloom, a mobile app builder that's aiming to make your phone a creation device. Trained in aerospace engineering and robotics in ETH, David's path into software started with tinkering, then spiraled into a bigger thesis: the friction in software creation is still keeping most people from shipping real products.In this episode, David shares why mobile is still fundamentally broken compared to web (hardware constraints, distribution, approvals, and iteration loops); how Bloom uses universal apps and a radically simpler sharing flow to get native apps onto real users' phones in minutes; and the category race in “vibe coding” and why speed alone won't win -reliability and retention will.We also go deeper into the founder journey: the mechanics behind getting into Y Combinator after five rejections, and raising $3.4M in five days without a pitch deck, and why building from Zurich can be strategically smarter than competing for the same talent pool in San Francisco.The cover portrait was edited by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.smartportrait.io⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.‍Don't forget to give us a follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

Este episodio de "Aero-Tips" resume las noticias más relevantes del sector aeronáutico y espacial a finales de marzo de 2026:Seguridad y Supervisión en España: Existe una fuerte preocupación por el posible traslado de las Oficinas de Seguridad en Vuelo (OSV) fuera de los aeropuertos de Barajas y Cuatro Vientos, lo que podría afectar la inmediatez de la supervisión de AESA.Innovación y Emprendimiento: ENAIRE impulsa su ecosistema de startups a través de programas de innovación abierta para modernizar la gestión del tráfico aéreo (ATM).Aviación con Impacto Social: Se destaca la labor de Vueling, que ya ha transportado más de 1.100 órganos para trasplantes en colaboración con la ONT.Carga Aérea y Geopolítica: Mientras la carga aérea en Madrid creció un 7% en febrero, el conflicto con Irán está tensionando la cadena de suministro de chips en Europa, elevando tarifas y recortando capacidad en las rutas con Asia.Hitos Espaciales: La NASA ha nombrado al español Carlos García-Galán como ejecutivo del programa de la futura base lunar, y el telescopio Hubble ha captado por primera vez la desintegración en directo de un cometa procedente de la Nube de Oort.Seguridad Internacional: Se informa sobre el trágico accidente en el aeropuerto de LaGuardia, donde un avión de Air Canada Express colisionó con un vehículo de bomberos en la pista, resultando en el fallecimiento de ambos pilotos.

Aujourd'hui, on plonge au cœur d'un mystère fascinant : comment peut-on détecter des milliers d'exoplanètes à des années-lumière… et pourtant soupçonner qu'une planète cachée se dissimule encore dans notre propre système solaire ? Entre Planète 9 / Planète X, objets trans-neptuniens (comme Sedna), ceinture de Kuiper et nuage de Oort, on suit les indices gravitationnels d'un monde peut-être invisible… mais pas indétectable.Chapitre :0:00 Le paradoxe de la planète 93:10 1995 naissance des exoplanètes6:44 Quand une planète transite8:18 Photographier l'invisible9:56 La galerie des mondes11:07 L'obscurité des confins13:56 Pluton n'était pas seul16:42 Le mythe de Planet X17:54 Neptune trouvée au calcul18:56 Les indices de la planète 921:27 Un univers surtout sombre

Comets are beautiful and mysterious.  They come and go seemingly from nowhere.  However, in order to fit with the evolutionary explanation of the origin of our solar system, astronomers claim they come from Oort's cloud.  "We" just need to find it!

HEADLINE: Early Hints of the Invisible. GUEST: Govert Schilling. SUMMARY: Schilling introduces pioneers Kapteyn, Oort, and Zwicky, whose early 20th-century observations of stellar motions and galaxy clusters first hinted at dark matter's existence. ESA EUCLID, 2020

Supporters van FC Emmen kunnen al zestig dagen niet naar het eigen stadion vanwege sneeuw en vorst. Hoe frustrerend dat is voor de achterban en spelers bespreken we in de nieuwste aflevering van Radio Meerdijk. Daarin schuift supporter van het eerste uur Ben Oort aan bij presentator William Pomp en clubwatcher Pim Siegers. Oort is deze maand begonnen als Supporters Liaison Officer (SLO) bij de club, oftewel de schakel tussen supporters, clubbestuur en andere partijen rondom FC Emmen. „Ik ging als jonge jongetje met papa aan de hand naar het stadion. Toen voelde een zevende plek of overwinning tegen Veendam als een kampioensfeest. Na de promotie snapte de buitenwereld ook waarom ik zo gek kon zijn van de club”, vertelt Oort. Zijn nieuwe baan als SLO'er noemt de oppersupporter een 'uitdagende uitbreiding van mijn hobby'. * Vragen voor in de podcast? Mail naar: william.pomp@dvhn.nl * FC Emmen op de voet volgen?

Welkom bij Sporthart, de podcast over het creëren van een positieve, veilige en sociale sport- en scoutingcultuur. In deze aflevering duiken we in de Omarm Rotterdam-campagne en de betekenis ervan voor de korfbalsport. Deze campagne, een initiatief van Rotterdam Sportsupport, draait om elkaar steunen, leiderschap tonen, samenwerken en betrokken zijn. Rotterdam is de kleurrijkste stad van Nederland. Juist daarom vinden we het belangrijk dat iedereen zich veilig voelt en zichzelf kan én mag zijn - ook in de sport. Dat gesprek is soms best ingewikkeld. Om verenigingen hierbij te helpen zijn er onder andere posters, een speciaal ontwikkeld kaartspel én een unieke aanvoerdersband waarmee je laat zien dat jouw club achter dit initiatief staat. Korfbal staat van oudsher voor gelijkwaardigheid, maar echte diversiteit en inclusie vragen om meer dan goede intenties alleen. Hoe zorg je ervoor dat iedereen zich welkom voelt op en rond het veld, ongeacht achtergrond, cultuur, gender of beperking? In deze aflevering gaan we hierover in gesprek met Roos Vrooland en Vera van Oort en laten we zien hoe korfbal kan verbinden, versterken en omarmen.

Hubble, Kuiper, Oort. Tous ces noms vous parlent d'espace mais savez-vous vraiment qui sont ces personnes ? Aujourd'hui Claude et Cédric font le tour des grands noms associés à l'exploration spatiale...

We're ending the year in a wonderfully bleak Vermont valley, already covered in snow and taking on more. Spend the night listening as the small flakes pile up around you and the winds howl over the peaks.The holidays are gone, we flip the calendar back to the beginning with a new number to reign over it all. January, 2026. Ensconced in winter's tomb until mid-April. But it sure looks pretty. The slight nighttime glow of Vermont's small giants, the Green Mountains, covered in white, can make even the dullest early months feel magical. Just don't forget to silence your phone — while we may be near South Royalton and far enough from everywhere else — the 5G will still bring in the incessant pocket buzzing of your phone (This is Vermont not the Oort cloud. You can get NYE messaging here).Look, I'm pretty sure many of the other New Year's–adjacent uncommon ambience posts are painted with personal feelings about my least favorite holiday. I'm not here to rain on anyone's ball droppings — I've done that enough already. This is the day we celebrate “new beginnings” while our health care costs reset, local governments enact unpopular new rules, and we stand in front of couches or bar stools toasting “my year!”And all night, messages and group chat alerts from all the people in our lives.The cinephile friends continuing their NYE phone-buzzing group chat that you somehow got added to. Tonight they started a movie together at an exact time so the Statue of Liberty smashes the roof of the Manhattan Museum of Art at exactly midnight.And you know damn well why you were added to that group — it was that movie take you absentmindedly assented that got you added to that group chat. Something about Rachel Dawes being swapped with Ellie Burr without changing either movie. It was a crowded party. A buddy was dangling on a trembling limb of being labeled “weird,” and so you swooped in with a reflexive “totally agree.”Now you're in a movie-people chat. Tonight they're watching Ghostbusters II, randomly dealing out their dark-horse New Year's movies, when — guys — you won. We've ceded Die Hard to Christmas. We don't need to do that with every holiday.There will be folks accounting for an earlier wave of pocket buzzing — the folks who don't salute any dropping ball and want that known. Sending out all flavors of “in bed at 8 p.m., ttyl!”Also, the post-midnight flurry of photos: sleeping children. They almost made it! Oh, how wholesome. You knew Anderson Cooper and platform-specific lip-synching wasn't going to keep your kids awake.The counter-culture folks still picking up Animal Crossing New Leaf for their long abandoned town's celebration — And… I'm mocking NYE again — probably for the third year in a row.Maybe spend a quiet evening amongst the snow of Southern Vermont. It'll work great at counteracting whatever fireworks your neighbor saved from the 4th of July and is definitely setting off tonight. Nighttime winter Southern Vermont snow. Wind over the Green Mountains, falling snow, and quiet rural winter sounds. An ambient sound podcast episode for sleep, focus, and relaxation (trying some SEO suggestions from a pal as I typically use this entire text block to rant — I wouldn't need to do this if y'all felt like subscribing to uncommon ambience. Make it your New Year's resolution to subscribe to the scrappy little sound podcast that only wants success for you in the new year — unless you're evil.Episode art made in photoshop.

The Space Show Presents Dr. Avi Loeb, Sunday, 11-23-25.Quick summary:Today's program focused on the upcoming interview with Professor Avi Loeb regarding 3I Atlas and its interpretation. Dr. Loeb shared detailed insights about interstellar objects, including the discovery of 3i Atlas and its unusual characteristics, while expressing concerns about NASA's limited presentation of data and the need for more comprehensive scientific investigation.Detailed summary:Professor Avi Loeb joined the program and clarified that he prefers to be addressed as Avi, without any titles. They discussed the controversial topic of 3I Atlas, with Avi explaining its uniqueness and the challenges in interpreting the blurry images released by NASA.Avi criticized NASA's recent press conference about the 3I/Atlas object, arguing that the blurry images and lack of scientific experts at the recent NASA press event undermined public interest and respect. He highlighted that the data showed an unusual glow in front of the object's direction of motion, which was not mentioned in the conference. Avi emphasized the importance of humility in science and expressed frustration that the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, which the public cares about, receives no federal funding compared to the prioritized search for microbes.Avi talked about the discovery of 3i Atlas, an interstellar object, and its unusual characteristics. He noted that its mass and size suggest it is much larger than previously discovered interstellar objects, leading to questions about its origin and composition. Avi highlighted an extraordinary coincidence in 3i Atlas's trajectory, aligning with Jupiter's Hill radius, which he found statistically significant. He also mentioned observations of jets emanating from the object, which could be indicative of natural processes or technological activity. He expressed a desire for more data on the jets' speed and composition to determine their nature.Our guest discussed anomalies in interstellar objects, emphasizing that traditional scientists often overlook technological origins in favor of natural explanations. He criticized experts for ignoring evidence of artificial structures and proposed expanding their training datasets to include technological objects. Marshall inquired about the inclination of planetary axes, which Avi attributed to planetesimal collisions and gravitational interactions rather than interstellar objects. They also discussed the possibility of life on rogue planets ejected from their solar systems.Avi explained that interstellar objects the size of a football field enter the solar system approximately once per year, while smaller objects, like the interstellar meteor discovered by Avi and his student Amir Siraj, are more numerous but only visible when they collide with Earth. He noted that the Oort cloud contains a vast number of objects, with one object within Earth's orbit potentially representing quadrillions more in the cloud. Loeb suggested that NASA's limited presentation of the 3I Atlas data was due to bureaucratic oversight rather than a hidden agenda, criticizing the lack of a permanent administrator and the decision to hold a press conference without new or exciting information.Our guest continued to talk about the upcoming close approach of the asteroid 3I Atlas to Earth on December 19th, noting that hundreds of telescopes will observe it as part of an international campaign. He emphasized the importance of gathering data to determine the object's nature, learned from past mistakes with Oumuamua. Avi also mentioned a recent radio observation by the Meerkat Radio Observatory in South Africa that set limits on potential radio transmissions from the object. He expressed hope to update the object's ranking on his Loeb Scale, which ranges from 0 for natural objects to 10 for technological objects, within a month. John Hunt asked if the object would leave the solar system after its close approach, to which Avi confirmed, noting that the object's trajectory suggests it is not aimed at Earth. John Jossy inquired about the anomaly of the gas jet pointing towards the sun, which Loeb explained is not unusual for comets, but the lack of a turnaround in the dust trail behind the object is surprising.Dr. Loeb explained the physics behind the anti-tail phenomenon in comets, emphasizing that it is not an optical illusion but a result of the force exerted by sunlight on sub-micron dust particles. He discussed two possible explanations for the unusual behavior of comet 3I Atlas, including the possibility of larger, less affected dust particles and the sublimation of ice fragments. Avi also provided an update on his Galileo project, which aims to detect and analyze interstellar objects, potentially including technological devices from extraterrestrials. The project has built three observatories, including one in Las Vegas, and is using machine learning to identify any objects with characteristics beyond human-made technologies.Our professor discussed the presence of sideways lines in comet images, explaining that they could be caused by communication satellites, which he calculated could cross a typical field of view during an exposure. He noted that while satellite contamination is a concern, it is relatively easy to identify and avoid in comet observations. He also expressed his preference for a natural explanation over a technological one for the comet's features, though he acknowledged that more data would be needed to confirm his suspicions. He criticized mainstream science for sometimes failing to recognize unusual data that doesn't fit traditional assumptions, using the example of nickel and iron ratios in a comet's gas plume.Avi discussed his observations about scientific integrity, noting that scientists may twist facts to fit their preconceived ideas but typically do not intentionally withhold data. He expressed optimism about the upcoming close approach of the interstellar object 3I Atlas on December 19th and encouraged open-mindedness when evaluating the data. Abraham shared his experience of increased public interest in space science, including media appearances and positive responses from parents and children inspired to pursue scientific careers. He concluded by reflecting on the role of humans in art and sports, emphasizing the importance of human connection and critical thinking in the age of AI.Avi was asked about his background. He said he grew up on a farm in Israel with his transition into astrophysics after receiving a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. He emphasized his approach to science, focusing on the big picture and questioning conventional methods, particularly in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.Note that the program audio will archive at www.thespaceshow.com and doctorspace.substack.com.

In this episode, James talks with Tony and Alex from the Paces team about their recent white paper exploring the mismatch between data center growth projections and actual grid planning. Tony, a seasoned power developer, and Alex, a researcher focused on data center flexibility, dive into how speculative load growth is driving transmission investments that may never serve real projects.They discuss how Paces analyzed over 14 million Texas land parcels to identify where data centers could feasibly be built, incorporating constraints like power access, zoning, water, and community sentiment. The conversation reveals a fundamental disconnect: the grid is being built for data centers that may never exist, while truly viable sites often lack the needed power capacity. By taking a “land-first” approach, Paces offers a bottom-up, data-driven framework to inform smarter, faster, and more collaborative infrastructure decisions.Why ERCOT (Texas) was the ideal case study for this white paper.The speculative nature of current interconnection requests and its ripple effects.Key site viability criteria: power, topography, ownership, fiber, and water.Why only 17% of viable land near substations in Texas has withdrawal capacity.A must-listen for anyone building in clean energy, this episode offers a practical framework to better align developer needs with grid planning.Paces helps developers find and evaluate the sites most suitable for renewable development. Interested in a call with James, CEO @ Paces?

How does Oort cloud stay attached to the Solar System as it moves through space? How can you generate power using a black hole? What should you do if a meteorite falls into your yard? And in Q&A+, which upcoming NASA missions are worth advocating for?Watch the video here (with no ads) or on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ODUiWh9TCi0Here's a link to the full, unedited 2-hour livestream: https://youtube.com/live/f7HUnpoXkZ0

A conversation about discovering that the entire world around us—the first star breaking through darkness, rain dancing on rooftops, stooping to pick up an acorn—aren't distractions from life's important questions but invitations further into them. That we are never separate from the world, and that there are many ways in which the world is calling to us even when we feel alone. And that rather than retreating from the world to find the answers to our most urgent questions, perhaps we can soften back into contact with what surrounds us as a way into the answers. This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Introduction to Turning Towards Life 02:25 Exploring Ingrid's Poetry 06:30 On Ordinary Moments 10:07 Connection to the World Around Us 14:34 Receiving from the World, Finding We Are Not Alone 19:24 Discovering our Non-Separateness Here's our source for this week: Questions for Discerning What is Timeless and True When mist settles thick on the water as far as the eye can see, may you hold yourself in generosity, and ask what do you endlessly dream? When the first star breaks its light through the darkest evening sky, what is the wish that flutters in the temple of your heart? When rain dances with joy on the roof above your head, what do you feel most grateful for, and for what do you give thanks? When the catbird settles on a branch nearby, tips his head back and sings, what sweet urgency pours from your life into the living, breathing day? When you stoop to pick up an acorn that has fallen along your trail, allow yourself to wonder: what seeds do you plant and grow? When the autumn leaf lifts on a swirling current of wind: what journey are you missing? What adventure do you long to begin? When the present insight slips into the vast eternal realm, what do you still remember in the very bones of your soul? When the morning sun wakes you and asks for your finest gift, what do you pull from your infinity to give and give, and open to, and give?

Can neutron stars create an equivalent of Type 1a supernovae? Can you land on Venus without a parachute? How do we know the shape of the Oort cloud? And in Q&A+, what's going on with 3I/ATLAS' weird tail situation?

Interstellare objekter har jo været i nyhederne de seneste uger, fordi NASA i begyndelsen af juli bekræftede observationen af den tredje kendte interstellare komet, der fik navnet 3I/ATLAS. I den anledning har vi valgt at dykke lidt dybere ned i disse besøgende langvejs fra, og se nærmere på hvad de består af, hvordan de bevæger sig, hvor de kommer fra og er på vej hen, og hvad vi forhåbentlig kan lære af dem. Derudover er der naturligvis masser af andre korte rumnyheder fra hele Universet. De handler denne gang blandt andet om mystiske supernovaer, klimadata fra ESA, kinesiske Måneraketter og meget mere. Lyt med

Durante el verano de 2025 los telescopios de la red ATLAS descubrieron un cometa que estaba entrando en el Sistema Solar interior, entre las órbitas de Marte y Júpiter. El nuevo objeto tenía una velocidad altísima, y pronto se confirmó que su origen no era la nube de Oort, sino el espacio interestelar; se había descubierto el tercer cometa interestelar de la historia, después de que los dos primeros aparecieran en 2017 y 2019. Casi al mismo tiempo, el astrofísico Avi Loeb empezó a publicar artículos, tanto en repositorios científicos como en prensa, defendiendo que este cometa no era un realidad un cometa; tenía una serie de peculiaridades que lo delataban como una pieza de tecnología alienígena, probablemente algún tipo de nave espacial. Sus afirmaciones iban desde lo contenido a lo completamente estrambótico, y el cometa ATLAS se terminó convirtiendo en uno de los animadores de las secciones de ciencia durante el verano de 2025. En el programa de hoy os explicamos qué tiene de especial este cometa, qué sabemos de él en este momento y por qué, a nuestro criterio, las declaraciones del profesor Loeb van un poco demasiado lejos. Sea como sea, el tema se irá desarrollando en las próximas semanas, porque aún quedan casi dos meses para que ATLAS alcance su máximo acercamiento al Sol, el 29 de octubre. Si os interesa aprender más sobre los otros visitantes interestelares que hemos identificado, en La Brújula os hablamos del primero de ellos en la séptima temporada, en los episodios s07e11 y s07e15; éste sí fue un objeto verdaderamente peculiar que, lamentablemente, descubrimos cuando ya estaba abandonando el Sistema Solar. Sobre el segundo os hablamos en nuestro pódcast hermano, Aparici en Órbita, en el capítulo s02e03. En ese mismo pódcast también os hablamos de otro objeto que probablemente vino del espacio interestelar: no un cometa en este caso, sino una pequeña piedra que terminó dirigiéndose hacia la Tierra y quemándose en la atmósfera; para aprender más sobre él buscad el episodio s05e02 de Aparici en Órbita. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 4 de septiembre de 2025. Podéis escuchar el resto de audios de La Brújula en la app de Onda Cero y en su web, ondacero.es

This week we speak with Dr. Mike Wall, ace space reporter from Space.com, about Starship's recent test flight. What went right, what went wrong, and what are the prospects for Elon's mammoth rocket meeting NASA's goals for a moon landing in 2027? Also, Musk's recent video outlining future plans for Starship and a Martian metropolis, Chinese company Sepoch's recent (and very Starship-like) vertical launch and landing test, Japan's robotic lander, Resilience, about to attempt a lunar touchdown, and roadside assistance for the Psyche asteroid mission. See this and more on This Week in Space! Headlines New Dwarf Planet Discovery: Scientists at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton have identified a new dwarf planet with an orbit over 16 times the size of Earth's. Its closest approach to the Sun is 44.5 times Earth's orbit, similar to Pluto's orbit, placing it far out in the Oort cloud. While exciting, this object, named 2017 OF, is not Planet Nine because its mass doesn't align with the perturbations observed in other objects. NASA's Psyche Mission Update: NASA's Psyche spacecraft experienced a fuel pressure glitch requiring a switch to a backup propellant line for its Hall effect thruster. Engineers successfully restored pressure, and the mission is still on track to arrive at the metallic asteroid Psyche in 2029. This mission is crucial as Psyche is believed to be the stripped-away core of an ancient proto-planet, offering insights into planet formation. China's Reusable Rocket Advancements: Chinese rocket manufacturer Space Epoch successfully performed a vertical ascent and controlled vertical descent test of a booster stage, similar to SpaceX's Falcon 9 landings. The stainless steel rocket successfully soft-landed in the waters off Hainan Island, demonstrating advanced gimballing for stable landing. Main Topic - Starship Flight 9 Test Recap: SpaceX's Starship Test Flight 9 was deemed a partial success. The Super Heavy booster was reflown for the first time, demonstrating reusability and performing well despite an experimental hard ocean splashdown that resulted in an explosion six minutes into flight. The Ship upper stage reached space and the desired trajectory, an improvement over previous flights, but failed to deploy dummy Starlink satellites or perform an in-space relight due to an attitude control anomaly, possibly a fuel leak. SpaceX's Ambitious Starship Plans: Elon Musk outlined plans for Starship Version 3, envisioned as the first fully mature version capable of Mars missions, rapid reuse, and in-orbit refueling. The long-term goal includes sending thousands of Starships and hundreds of people to Mars to establish a self-sustaining city. Lunar Starship for Artemis Missions: There's ongoing discussion about the number of tanker flights required for a lunar mission, with estimates ranging from 8 to 12, even 16 flights. The timeline for Artemis III in 2027 is a concern, given the need for numerous refueling missions and the development of life support systems for crewed flights, which are currently absent in the Starship test vehicles. Competition in Lunar Landers: While SpaceX is developing Lunar Starship, Blue Origin is also a strong contender with its Blue Moon lander, which is China These show notes have been truncated due to length.

When did humans first think of aliens? Why is Oort cloud a sphere when the Solar System is a disk? Which space image is my favourite? And in our Q&A+ on patreon, is search for life only limited to looking for water? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

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.

Join Paul Comfort on this episode of Transit Unplugged for an insightful conversation with Professor Niels van Oort, Associate Professor of Public Transport and Shared Mobility at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and co-director of the Smart Public Transport Lab. Paul and Niels explore critical considerations in transit planning, including the effectiveness of light rail versus bus rapid transit (BRT), integration with cycling and micro-mobility, and global best practices for creating high-quality transit systems. Niels shares details about his innovative transportation planning game designed to help students and professionals balance various mobility modes and societal goals. He also discusses the benefits, challenges, and appropriate contexts for implementing light rail and BRT systems, emphasizing the importance of seamless integration with active transport modes like cycling.

La tranquilidad del Sistema Solar podría estar siendo interrumpida por un vecino lejano, pero influyente: Alpha Centauri. Un estudio reciente revela que alrededor de un millón de objetos interestelares, con dimensiones superiores a los 100 metros, originarios de este sistema estelar vecino, se encuentran actualmente vagando por los confines de nuestra Nube de Oort.

We take a look at the formation and structure of the Oort cloud of comets which is spherical at large distances but has a spiral structure in its inner regions. And, after all this time, there's a surprising twist on the nature of the iron mineral that gives Mars its reddish hue. Also hiding in plain sight is a dwarf galaxy in the neighborhood of the Andromeda galaxy, our largest companion galaxy. Join us for a discussion of these discoveries, trivia, space news and more.

A massive new release of Type 1a supernova data, did astronomers see a strange star form? huge spiral arms of comets in the Oort Cloud, and the highest energy neutrino ever detected. Plus in our extended version on Patreon, how scientists could get real data on UAPs.

It's the year 2198. 92 years ago, the asteroid 253 Mathilde began humanity's first interstellar mission with a crew of 200 people. Now accelerating through the Oort cloud at a millimeter per second per second, the descendants of the original crew have as yet no inkling of where the next 42 years of their lives will take them. This week: Episode 1: Damage. Year 92 of the mission opens with a bang.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What are the limits for the telescopes of the future? Can you play disk golf on Mars or the Moon? Will all galaxies eventually fade away? When will we launch Voyagers v2.0? Answering all these questions and more in this week's Q&A.
