Episode 294 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a look at Invincible Season 4. Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey break down the latest season of the Prime Video animated series, focusing on the aftermath of the Invincible War and the escalation of the Viltrumite conflict. They examine Mark Grayson's continued evolution as a hero, Nolan's return to Earth, and the introduction of Grand Regent Thragg as the looming threat behind the expanding intergalactic war. They also discuss how the season shifts deeper into Viltrumite lore, the growing role of Oliver, and how the Coalition of Planets sets the stage for a larger conflict that moves closer to Earth. Does Season 4 successfully push Invincible into its endgame, or does the expanding scope start to stretch the series too far? Dive into that and a lot more!

The twins of Gemini have a front-row seat for a planetary waltz this month. Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury are close to the twins now, and will bunch up even closer as the month progresses. The “twins” are the stars Pollux and Castor. They’re about a quarter of the way up the western sky as evening twilight fades. Pollux is the brighter of the two, with Castor to its right. Jupiter looks like a brilliant star to the lower left of the twins. It’s the largest planet in the solar system. But it’s on the far side of the Sun as seen from Earth, so it’s more than 550 million miles away – about six times the distance between Earth and the Sun. Venus is even brighter – the “evening star.” It’s below the twins. Although it’s a little smaller than Earth, it shines much brighter than Jupiter mainly because it’s much closer to both Earth and the Sun. Venus and Jupiter remain in view for a good while after darkness falls. That’s not the case for Mercury. It’s well to the lower right of the others, and much lower in the sky. It’s bright, though, so with a clear horizon, there’s a good chance to spot it. Mercury will move a little higher into the sky over the next few nights, improving the view. But the real action involves Jupiter and Venus. Venus is climbing away from the Sun quickly. It will nestle especially close to Jupiter on the 8th and 9th. It’ll pull away after that – all in close view of the twins. Script by Damond Benningfield

With over 6,200 confirmed exoplanets and counting, the duo explores the diversity and complexity of these distant worlds, challenging our assumptions about planetary systems beyond our own.Episode Highlights:- The Birth of Exoplanet Discovery: Andrew and Jonty reflect on the first confirmed exoplanets in the early 1990s and how our understanding of planetary systems has evolved since then. From the initial excitement to the current reality of thousands of discoveries, they discuss the implications of these findings.- Planetary Diversity: The hosts highlight the remarkable variety of exoplanets, including hot Jupiters, super-Earths, and even pulsar planets. They explore how these discoveries have shattered the notion that our solar system is typical, revealing a vast array of planetary types and characteristics.- Methods of Discovery: Andrew and Jonty explain the different techniques used to find exoplanets, including the radial velocity and transit methods. They discuss the technological advancements that have made these discoveries possible and the role of amateur astronomers in the search for new worlds.- Future Prospects: The conversation shifts to the future of exoplanet research, with a focus on upcoming missions like the Nancy Chris Roman Telescope and the Gaia satellite. The hosts speculate on the potential for discovering Earth-like planets and the ongoing quest to find life beyond our planet.- Philosophical Implications: Andrew and Jonty ponder the profound questions surrounding the existence of life in the universe, considering the statistical likelihood of life on other planets given the vast number of stars and planets in the cosmos.For more Space Nuts, including our continuously updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, visit our website.

The star Vega is a bit of a puzzler. Over the years, astronomers reported evidence of several planets orbiting the bright star. But none of the planets has been confirmed. And observations by two space telescopes revealed nothing. But they left open the possibility of planets. Vega is low in the east-northeast at nightfall, and soars high overhead later on. It’s about 25 light-years away. It’s a bit bigger, brighter, and heavier than the Sun. And it’s younger – just 10 percent the Sun’s age. A disk of dust encircles Vega. It’s tens of billions of miles wide. Hubble Space Telescope recently found a “halo” of tiny dust grains that extends tens of billions of miles beyond the disk. Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope took a good look at the system. They showed that the disk is quite smooth. It’s probably renewed by comets and asteroids. They shed material as they orbit the star, and even more when they slam together. The smoothness of the disk means there are no giant planets orbiting within it. If there were, they would clear out wide gaps. There is one gap. But it’s not completely open. So a planet several times the mass of Earth could orbit in that zone, partially clearing it out. And there could be smaller planets elsewhere in the system – especially close to Vega. But so far, there are no confirmed planets – leaving Vega to travel through space alone.

In this listener Q&A episode, we're diving into some of the less common, and often misunderstood, chart features and astrology concepts: unaspected Moons, out-of-bounds planets, planetary returns in transit charts, and what it means when your Sun, Moon, and rising sign are all in the same sign.
