Observations from the Webb Space Telescope have identified young rogue planets with masses between 5 to 10 times that of Jupiter. These dim objects, which emit primarily in the infrared spectrum, are believed to hold secrets about the formation of planetary systems. The findings indicate that disks of warm dust surrounding these planets could provide the necessary materials for planet formation, suggesting that such systems could exist even in the absence of stars.Europe's Space Rider ProgressesThe European Space Agency's reusable Space Rider spacecraft has successfully completed a crucial test of its nose cone, marking another milestone in its development. This innovative spacecraft will allow ESA to conduct orbital missions and return scientific payloads to Earth. Designed to operate as an unmanned laboratory in low Earth orbit, Space Rider will support a variety of experiments and technology demonstrations, paving the way for Europe to enhance its capabilities in space exploration.Harvesting Solar Power from SpaceCould space-based solar panels be the solution to our energy needs? Scientists are investigating two promising projects aimed at capturing solar energy in orbit. The Innovative Heliostat Swarm aims to create a network of mirrors that direct sunlight to a central receiver, converting it into electricity for transmission back to Earth. Meanwhile, the Mature Planar Array is closer to deployment but will only capture solar energy about 60% of the time. Despite current challenges in cost-effectiveness, these projects could lead to breakthroughs in sustainable energy.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205European Space Agencyhttps://www.esa.int/Journal of Solar Energyhttps://www.journals.elsevier.com/solar-energyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

Using NASA's Hubble and Chandra space telescopes, along with a Very Large Array radio telescope, researchers identified this rogue black hole that consumes stars and planets that venture too close. The black hole was revealed through a tidal disruption event, where a star was torn apart and swallowed, offering a glimpse into the physics of these cosmic behemoths.Meteorite Slams into Georgia HomeIn an extraordinary event, a meteorite crashed through a house in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 26, narrowly missing the homeowner. Witnessed by hundreds, the fireball streaked across the sky before fragments penetrated the roof and ceiling. Planetary geologist Scott Harris retrieved samples for analysis, revealing the meteorite's origins in the asteroid belt, dating back 4.56 billion years, and potentially linked to the breakup of a larger asteroid.Origins of Asteroids Bennu and RyuguRecent research suggests that both Bennu and Ryugu may share a common ancestry, originating from the same collisional family of asteroids known as Polana. Spectral data comparisons indicate similarities between these asteroids, supporting the hypothesis that they were formed from the remnants of a larger body that fragmented early in the solar system's history. This discovery opens new avenues for understanding the evolution of these near-Earth asteroids.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205Planetary Science Journalhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/planetary-science-journalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

8.24.25 - Day 10/13 of the Yellow Seed Wavespell - Lunar Moon 2 The Lunar Moon instantly sets us up to feel that there are problems in our lives that did not have the same intensity or focus in the Magnetic Moon. In the earliest part of the Lunar Moon, it's like an assault on our senses to go from complacency or curiosity to wanting to register complaints. Something new that formed in our lives this Mayan year suddenly has a downside. The hints at complication or discomfort pulsing through the Magnetic Moon are now here in bold, underscored. And my advice is to lay low, breathe, weigh what you don't like - and recognize that you can't eliminate it. It's a part of your yearlong karma. It's a challenge, yes, but one you're going to have deal with and grow through, rather than try to dodge or diminish. We can also expect that others who do not follow Mayan spirituality are still going to have this edge. And I do recommend slowing down, stepping back, calming your own central nerve system as you adjust to your own challenges, rather than being immersed in others' as well.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the cosmic drama unfolding in our universe, featuring a doomed exoplanet, new revelations about Mars, and the latest crew aboard the International Space Station.The Death Spiral of TOI 2109bAstronomers are closely monitoring the death spiral of TOI 2109b, an exoplanet located over 870 light-years away. This gas giant, nearly five times the mass of Jupiter, completes an orbit around its host star in just 16 hours, making it the closest hot Jupiter discovered to date. Researchers from Macquarie University have found that the planet's orbit is decaying, leading to three potential end scenarios: being torn apart by tidal forces, plunging into its host star, or losing its gaseous envelope to intense radiation. These findings provide valuable insights into planetary evolution and the fate of gas giants in close orbits.New Insights into Mars's Ancient SurfaceA recent study has identified a new type of iron sulfate on Mars, suggesting significant geothermal and chemical activity on the planet's surface. Researchers have characterized this uncommon mineral, which may represent a new type due to its unique crystalline structure. The discovery sheds light on how heat, water, and chemical reactions have shaped Mars, and indicates that the planet may have been more geologically active than previously thought. This research enhances our understanding of Mars's potential to have supported life in its past.New Crew Arrives at the International Space StationNASA has successfully delivered a new crew to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule. The crew, consisting of two Americans, a Russian, and a Japanese astronaut, will replace colleagues who have been aboard since March. As NASA considers extending crew stays from six to eight months to reduce costs, the new team is set to contribute to ongoing research and operations in low Earth orbit.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357Nature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/nature/NASA's International Space Stationhttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is space Time Series 28, Episode 97 for broadcast on 13 August 202500:42 Astronomers are tracking the death spiral of a doomed planet more than 870 light years away12:06 ToI 2109 is one of the most interesting systems that we've got17:06 Scientists have identified a new type of iron sulfate on the Red Planet23:47 NASA has delivered four new crew members to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX Dragon25:10 New study claims consuming three fries a week increases risk of developing type 2 diabetes26:13 Google about to offer AI study tools to college students for free29:53 You've got to check for updates on all your Apple devices

Hello star lovelies! Welcome to a transformative bonus episode of The Strategic Oracle! In this Future Trends edition, we dive into the Cosmic Code of Wealth—unveiling what industry titans understand about energetic wealth flow and how entrepreneurs can now harness these cosmic patterns. Key InsightsWhat is the Cosmic Wealth Code?The Cosmic Wealth Code represents the energetic architecture that governs how, when, and why wealth flows. This isn't just spiritual theory—it's a practical system that allows you to:Time business launches with planetary cyclesGrow revenue by leveraging lunar and cosmic rhythmsBuild sustainable investments without energy drainAlign your legacy with the changing seasons of visibility and transformationThe Influence of Planetary and Lunar CyclesExplore how major planetary movements—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto—impact growth, structure, innovation, release, and transformation in your business and wealth strategy. Learn to read these cycles and determine which energy is dominant for you right now, so you can respond with clarity.2 Powerful Quotes“The cosmic wealth code is the energetic architecture that governs how, when and why wealth flows.”“You are never meant to chase the timing. You are meant to become it.”Key Questions Answered1. What does it mean to align business launches with the moon and planetary cycles? [3:11]Aligning business launches with the lunar and planetary cycles means starting initiatives at times when cosmic rhythms support greater visibility, growth, and ease. For example, beginning new projects within 48 hours of the New Moon can foster powerful momentum, while revisiting or refining them during the last quarter of the lunar cycle helps maximize results and rest before the next phase. Major planetary milestones, like Jupiter in Cancer or Saturn in Aries, guide when to focus on expansion, structure, or innovation.2. How can understanding the current cosmic field give me a business advantage? [1:59]Knowing current cosmic conditions—such as Jupiter's emotional intelligence emphasis while in Cancer, or Saturn and Neptune's conjunction marking a time when your business must balance structure and spirit—allows you to anticipate market shifts, tailor your messaging for resonance, and make strategic moves that feel “in the flow” instead of forced, enabling more sustainable and soulful growth.3. Are these cosmic strategies only for spiritual entrepreneurs, or can any business owner benefit? [2:40]These cosmic strategies are for anyone—founders, creatives, public figures, or traditional business owners—seeking sustainable, aligned wealth and market impact. You don't have to be overtly spiritual; simply leveraging your intuition, knowing your personal timing, and acting strategically can elevate any business, regardless of industry.Take the Next StepIf this episode stirred something real in you, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review The Strategic Oracle on your favorite podcast platform—and stay connected for more soul-driven business wisdom.

However, survival is not the same as thriving. The way we are headed now, “the crash of civilization is very bad. And ignoring it…is not going to work.” Mentioned in this episode: Pact for the FutureCOP 26 (2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference)COP 30 (where KSR will be a UN rep….)Planetary boundaries J.

Just three interstellar objects have ever been detected in our Solar System, each arriving from the depths of interstellar space. In this episode, we explore the latest: 3I/ATLAS, a newly discovered interstellar comet first spotted on July 1, 2025. Bryce Bolin, research scientist at Eureka Scientific, joins host Sarah Al-Ahmed to share what makes this object special. As one of the few astronomers who has studied all three known interstellar objects—1I/ʻOumuamua, 2I/Borisov, and now 3I/ATLAS—he offers unique insight into how these rare visitors expand our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own. We also check in with Bruce Betts, chief scientist of The Planetary Society, for a look at the upcoming ESA and JAXA’s Comet Interceptor mission, which may one day chase down a future interstellar comet.

What if I told you the most important decision of your soul's journey is being made right now… and it's written in your DNA?In this solo episode, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD unpacks one of the most powerful and time-sensitive transmissions yet: the Great Planetary Bifurcation. From 2025 to 2030, humanity faces a monumental spiritual split—two timelines, two spirals, one planetary choice.This isn't a metaphor—it's a literal divergence of frequency paths:• One rooted in the Base-12 Christic Spiral, eternal life, DNA re-encryption, and Source remembrance.• The other, the Base-10 Fibonacci Spiral, consumes energy to sustain itself, leading to soul amnesia, AI convergence, and eventual spiritual entropy.Dr. Lee channels sacred cosmological truths, ancient wisdom, and quantum morphogenetic science to explain why your every thought, action, and belief is casting a vote for the timeline your soul will spiral into by 2030.Discover the truth behind:• The planetary Stellar Activation Cycle• The resurrection of the Base-12 Tree of Life• The “Phantom Matrix” and false light traps• The Uego Cycle and your DNA as a time-navigation device• Why authenticity is the new currency in the spiritual evolution of humanityThis episode is more than information—it's an activation. If you feel called, Dr. Lee also offers a Christic Spiral Alignment Declaration to anchor your path into the eternal.⚠️ 2030 is not the end—it's the frequency lock-in. The time to choose is now.Sacred Truths & Lessons from This Episode:• Two Timelines Are Splitting—You Must Choose• Your DNA Is a Time Navigation Device• Christic Spiral = Eternal Life and Source Remembrance• Fibonacci Spiral = Finite Life and False Light Systems• This Is the First Cycle Since Atlantis Where Ascension Is Possible• Your Vibration Is Your Ticket—Your Compass Must Be Clear

The 2020s will be a decisive decade for in-space nuclear power. So argues Dr. Bhavya Lal, whose new report reframes the conversation around a simple idea: power, not propulsion, is nuclear's most immediate and disruptive capability. Power is what enables humans to stay and build on distant locales; without an abundance of it, she warns, we will never be more than visitors. But in an era of super heavy-lift capability, does this vision still require a nuclear solution, or can we simply brute-force our future in space with cheaper alternatives?

“An Existential Problem of Planetary Proportions”International Court of Justice President Yuji Iwasawa just delivered a landmark advisory opinion on climate change and human rights - one that could transform global climate action and accountability.A dancing and crying Christiana Figueres is joined by Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson, to react in real-time, and speak with two of the lawyers who helped make it happen. Fresh from the courtroom, Julian Aguon, the indigenous human rights lawyer who represented Pacific nations, and Jennifer Robinson, barrister for Vanuatu and the Marshall Islands, bring their raw, unfiltered reactions to this history-making ruling (before heading off to celebrate).As governments, legal teams, and corporate leaders worldwide scramble to interpret its implications, we have everything you need to know about what just happened in The Hague.The ICJ's unanimous opinion states:Climate action is now a legal duty: States are obligated under international law to prevent dangerous climate change.1.5°C has legal weight: States must pursue their “highest possible ambition” in their Nationally Determined Contributions and ensure collective measures can limit warming to 1.5°C.Failure to act is unlawful: Granting fossil fuel licenses, providing subsidies, or failing to regulate emissions may constitute an internationally wrongful act.Reparations are possible: Countries could be required to compensate or remedy the damage caused by their emissions - anywhere in the world.Could this be the legal tipping point that forces governments to act? Across capitals and boardrooms, the conversations have already started - and what happens next could reshape how nations and companies are held to account. Listen in and join us as this story unfolds.Learn more Listen back to our two previous episodes that explore the background to this case:

On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft made its historic flyby of Pluto, transforming our understanding of this distant world. Ten years later, we’re celebrating that iconic moment and the mission that made it possible. We begin with Alan Stern, principal investigator of the New Horizons mission, who reflects on the mission’s origins, its most surprising discoveries, and what comes next as New Horizons continues its journey through the Kuiper Belt. Then we check in with Adeene Denton, NASA postdoctoral program fellow at the Southwest Research Institute, who just returned from the “Progress in Understanding the Pluto System: 10 Years After Flyby” conference held at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Adeene shares highlights from the event, which brought together scientists to explore new results from New Horizons, JWST, Hubble, and ground-based observatories on Pluto, Charon, and the broader Kuiper Belt. Finally, Planetary Society Director of Government Relations Jack Kiraly joins us with a major update on the ongoing fight to protect NASA science from devastating budget cuts. And don’t miss What’s Up with our Chief Scientist, Bruce Betts. We’re talking Arrokoth, the most distant Kuiper Belt object New Horizons visited after Pluto.

These bombardments transformed Earth's early atmosphere and delivered the complex organic molecules that allowed life to develop on our planet. While meteorites have provided the raw materials for life to thrive, they have radically devastated life as well, most famously killing off the dinosaurs and paving the way for humans to evolve to where we are today. As noted meteoriticist Greg Brennecka explains, meteorites did not just set us on the path to becoming human, they helped direct the development of human culture. Meteorites have influenced humanity since the start of civilization. Over the centuries, meteorite falls and other cosmic cinema have started (and stopped) wars, terrified millions, and inspired religions throughout the world.

Author Andy Weir was as shocked as anyone when The Martian became a top bestseller novel in the US. He repeated that achievement with his equally mind-blowing science fiction masterpiece Project Hail Mary. Former Planetary Radio host Mat Kaplan welcomed Andy in April of 2023 for the first livestreamed author conversation in The Planetary Society's member book club. Now, with the film version of Project Hail Mary approaching, we’re proud to begin making these insider interviews available to Planetary Radio listeners. We’ll post them on the third Friday of each month. Join us as we talk with Andy about his obsession with getting the science right while his reluctant and unlikely hero attempts to save humanity from a deep space scourge.

What happens when scientists, students, space communicators, and refugee engineers float together in zero gravity? Former Planetary Radio host Mat Kaplan joins a remarkable group of flyers aboard a Zero-G flight organized by Space for Humanity. You’ll hear from participants and mentors including Emily Calandrelli, Sian Proctor, and Roxy Williams, as well as Space for Humanity Executive Director Antonio Peronace and Zero-G CEO Kevin Sproge. Together, they share how a few moments of weightlessness offered a powerful shift in perspective. We explore the mission to make space more inclusive, the awe of the “overview effect,” and what it means to carry that inspiration back down to Earth. Then, Bruce Betts joins us for What’s Up.
