A few months ago, China looked like it had all its Mideast diplomacy figured out. Israel and the U.S. were taking heavy hits in the court of global public opinion over the devastation caused by the war in Gaza. Each harrowing image of Palestinian civilians enduring unimaginable suffering steadily undermined U.S. and Israeli claims that their war against Hamas was justified. Beijing eagerly criticized Washington's hypocrisy in championing universal human rights—except when it came to Israel, the U.S. military, and other selective American interests. But now that Israel has decapitated Hamas' leadership in Gaza and Hezbollah's in Lebanon, and with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad now exiled to Russia, the geopolitical landscape in the region looks very different.

If Planet Nine exists, it’s taunting astronomers. Several studies of the orbits of small bodies far from the Sun hint at the presence of a massive planet in the outer solar system. Yet the possible world has remained hidden. Planet Nine was suggested in 2014, based on the orbits of some big chunks of rock and ice beyond the orbit of Neptune, the Sun’s most-distant major planet. The orbits appear to be influenced by the gravity of a body many times as massive as Earth. The most recent evidence of Planet Nine comes from a study that modeled the orbits of 29 objects beyond Neptune. All of the orbits are tilted and stretched out. At their closest, these objects pass just inside the orbit of Neptune, which is 30 times farther from the Sun than Earth is. But they average more than a hundred times the Earth-Sun distance, so it takes many centuries for them to orbit the Sun. Astronomers calculated the likelihood of so many objects following similar paths under two scenarios. In one, they modeled the gravitational effects of the Sun’s known planets, plus the pull of the rest of the galaxy’s stars and gas clouds. In the other, they added the effects of a possible Planet Nine. The model with Planet Nine produced a far better match to the orbits. So far, a search of observations made along the planet’s possible path has come up empty. So if Planet Nine exists, it’s playing a game of hide-and-seek far from the Sun.

A dwarf planet far from the Sun may spend most of its time outside the Sun’s influence. In fact, it might have come from interstellar space – from another star. Sedna takes more than 11,000 years to orbit the Sun. It’s passing through the Kuiper Belt – a wide “doughnut” far beyond the orbit of Neptune, the Sun’s most distant major planet. Right now, Sedna’s almost eight billion miles from the Sun – about as close as it ever gets. At its most distant, it’s more than 10 times farther. That places it far beyond the Kuiper Belt – and well outside the “bubble” produced by the Sun’s magnetic field. Scientists have speculated that Sedna started in the Oort Cloud – a big “shell” of rocky, icy bodies that surrounds the Sun. It could have been pushed into its elongated orbit by the gravity of a passing star. Or it could have been a member of another star system that was pulled away by the Sun. There’s one other oddity about Sedna’s orbit: It seems to be influenced by the gravity of a much larger but unseen body far from the Sun – a possible “Planet Nine.” Because Sedna’s so far away, we don’t know a lot about it. It’s probably about 600 miles in diameter. And it’s quite red – an indication that radiation has been zapping its surface for a long, long time. No one has found a moon yet, so it’s hard to measure Sedna’s mass. So we still have a lot to learn about this remote little world far, far from the Sun. Script by Damond Benningfield

José James has often been called a “jazz singer for the hip hop generation,” having come to jazz through tracing hip hop samples and over the course of twelve records, he's also incorporated R&B, soul, rock, funk, and Latin music into his songs. While he's mostly sung his own music over the years, he has occasionally covered songs by some of his favorite artists: Bill Withers, Gil Scott-Heron, Erykah Badu and Billie Holiday. James has just released a new album called 1978, which sees him looking back, past hip hop, to the soul music of the 70s. But this is soul music with a message; songs like “For Trayvon” make that clear. But it's also message-music with soul: José James closes the album with “38th & Chicago,” which has a jazzy bassline, an almost bossa nova guitar sound, and a Caribbean lilt in the percusson. José James and his band play some of these hot grooves in-studio. -John Schaefer Set list: 1. Let's Get It 2. Planet Nine 3. Saturday Night (Need You Now)

Could this potential new member of our solar system already have a name waiting in the wings, or will its discoverer have the honor of christening it?Next, Lloyd from Cairns wonders about celestial smash-ups, but not the kind involving black holes or neutron stars. What happens when ordinary stars collide? Do they dance a destructive tango, or can they merge into something grander? The duo delves into the fiery fates of these stellar encounters.Rennie probes the electromagnetic forces at play in the universe, from the behavior of light to the magnetic fields of galaxies. What role does electromagnetism play on other planets, and what happens to worlds lacking this fundamental force?

"Exploring the Outer Edges of the Solar System" So, you're probably wondering about what's out there, right at the edge of our very own Solar System? Well, it's truly a fascinating realm that's still full of mysteries and discoveries to be made. This uncharted frontier, deemed as the 'outer edges', is largely dominated by frozen volatile substances like water, methane, and ammonia. These celestial bodies, often referred to as Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), are believed to have remained untouched since the beginning of our Solar System, making them incredibly valuable to astronomers as they piece together the cosmic puzzle. Now, Andrew Dunkley delves into this very topic during the podcast. His curious mind bubbles over with questions and musings, all tinged with a sense of awe and wonder for the unknown. He draws attention to the curious alignment of some TNOs - suggestive of a possible unseen planetary body nicknamed 'Planet Nine.' Despite the inconclusive evidence and difficult prospect of direct observation, Andrew's excitement is infectious, igniting a curiosity that makes even the farthest reaches of our Solar System seem tantalizingly within reach. "Emission Lines and Spectroscopy" Ever gazed at a sodium vapor streetlight and wondered why it shines so orange? Or pondered why certain colors 'pop' in the spectrum of a star? The concept of emission lines and spectroscopy has the answers. This field of astrophysics uses the spectral properties of light to determine the chemical composition and physical properties of celestial objects. It's a bit like unlocking the star's 'identity card' through the visible and invisible light it emits. Not only does this add an analytical edge to stargazing, but it also provides fundamental insights into the universe's anatomy. To provide a tangible context, Andrew Dunkley uses the example of sodium vapor streetlights, whose characteristic orange comes from the photon of light emitted by excited sodium atoms. Andrew navigates this complex topic with crystal-clear analogies, making it both comprehensible and captivating. His conversation dives into the sun's behavior, touching upon its photosphere, chromosphere, and even the enigmatic concept of black bodies. By weaving these threads together, Andrew masterfully brings out the intensely scientific yet genuinely stunning aspect of our cosmos. "The Search for Planet Nine" 'Hypothetical' might be the operative word when we talk about 'Planet Nine', but don't let that dull your curiosity. This proposed super-Earth, lurking at the outskirts of our solar system, has got scientists and space enthusiasts on the edge of their seats. It's essentially a cosmic 'Whodunit?,' propelled by unusual TNO alignments and the enduring allure of the unknown. From gravitational tugs to cosmic dances, all threads seem to point towards a master puppeteer, an unseen force – one that fits the billing of a rogue Planet Nine. During the podcast, Andrew Dunkley's take on Planet Nine is much akin to a thrilling treasure hunt. He dives into the resilient hypothesis, the indicative TNO alignments, and the potential game-changing role of the upcoming Vera Rubin Telescope in this quest. The pursuit of Planet Nine, as Andrew explains, is not just about satisfying curiosity; capturing it could drastically alter our understanding of the solar system's architecture and dynamics. He undoubtedly leaves us yearning for more discoveries and eager to join the cosmic manhunt.For more Space Nuts visit www.spacenuts.io

Most of the earliest card games were trick-taking games played in the 800s in China. These will have felt quite different to our modern eyes. They didn't have the concept of trump cards or trump suits. There was also no bidding. Trumps were added to European card games in the 1400s, followed by bidding in the 1600s. It took another 100-200 years for familiar trick-taking games like Whist and Skat to appear. A few hundred years after that, the mechanism has now found a new lease of life in modern hobby games.

Board games are great! Mostly. But as great as they are, we've probably all had a moment where, through no fault of the game itself, things got uncomfortable. Whether it's because of an awkward play, or just particulars of the group dynamic, we look back at some of our most uncomfortable moments. Before we enter the discomfort zone, we talk about Dog Tag Trick, Deal with the Devil, and Yokai Septet.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Planet X. Planet Nine. Nibiru. All are names given to the elusive planetary body believed by some to lurk in the outer, outer depths our our solar system. We have scientific data to suggest that some unseen entity is messing with the Kuiper belt. In 2015 Caltech hot shots identified at least give larger bodies in that belt behaving unusually. But why? Well, we're guessing that you've already seen the title to this episode… Is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Nibiru what school teachers will be teaching in school in the future? Founder of the ZetaTalk website Nancy Lieder certainly would be because aliens warned Nancy about Nibiru's upcoming passing, they they didn't seem entirely sure on the date. What Nancy seems to be clear on though is that Planet X/Nine/Nibiru is responsible for the earths pole shift. Another thing that may or may not be associated with Planet Nine is the Anunnaki - did the Annunaki visit ancient Sumerians, perhaps developing a slave race to mine before departing as their planet passed? Could Anunnaki input explain rapid advancements in human technology such as sandals? There may be evidence of this left behind even today. Alongside that, we ponder… How many points does Mr Moonwalker have, exactly? Can Colossus eat planets like Bray Wyatt and is Galactus metal? Oh and we also solve String Theory. All that and more on this week's file.   Reference: Batygin, K., and Brown, Michael. E. (2016) ‘Evidence for a Distant Giant Planet in the Solar System.' The Astronomical Journal. 151 (2): 22.

Hi there, thanks for joining us. This is Space Nuts. I'm your host, Andrew Dunkley. Hope you can stick around. We've got a lot to talk about today. What time is it on the moon? It's moon time.It could be daytime, could be night-time. It depends where you are, but we're talking about real time.We'll elaborate in this episode and offer up some solutions. There might be a new way to find Planet Nine. We're going to look at some sunrays on Mars and the dark Big Bang Theory. We'll also be answering some audience questions and much, much more on this episode of Space Nuts. "Throughout human history, exploration has actually been a key driver of improved timekeeping and geodetic reference models." The idea is how do you define time on the Moon. Do you have lots of different time zones, like we have on Earth? Or do you have a single lunar time zone? A joint international effort is now being launched towards achieving this. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How is time being defined on the Moon? 2. What is Planet Nine and can we find it? 3. Have Crepuscular Rays been seen on Mars for the first time?

The solar system is undergoing a population explosion. It's not adding new members — they've been here all along. But astronomers are finding more of them. Almost all of the newly counted are small chunks of rock and ice. Most are in the asteroid belt — a band of rocky debris between Mars and Jupiter. Astronomers are actually searching for bodies that come close to Earth — potential threats to our planet. But they also catch asteroids that are farther away. So they typically discover thousands of them every month. They also discover asteroids that are inside Earth's orbit. Three new ones were announced in October. One of them is the closest asteroid to the Sun yet seen. The orbit of another one crosses ours, so it could someday threaten our planet. The object is about a mile wide, so any impact would be catastrophic. We won't have that problem with another recent set of discoveries. A year ago, astronomers reported more than 450 new objects in the Kuiper Belt — a region beyond the orbit of Neptune, the Sun's most remote major planet. Some of them follow orbits that average more than 200 times Earth's distance from the Sun. The orbits of some of them may be influenced by the gravity of Planet Nine — a suspected giant world deep in the Kuiper Belt. So scientists are studying the orbits to help track down the elusive planet — perhaps adding one more body to the solar system's growing population.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Famed astrologer Ray Grasse returns with a totally new vision of what might herald the coming of the visitors, what this has to do with the planets, and when it might happen. Over the years, there have been many claims regarding the date and reasons that the visitors will finally make themselves known. Many of us have the sense that something important is on the horizon - could this really be it? Then, Whitley and Ray discuss the incredible discovery of a new Roswell witness to ANOTHER crash and what the year 1947 has to do with both the appearance of the Nag Hammadi manuscripts AND the Roswell Incident. We often hear of the present described as "uncertain times" - but perhaps some chaos is needed to allow everything to fall into place.
