Podcasts about planets

Mr. Holst, wherever you are, I apologize in advance for what I'm about to say. From my research, I know you resented this fact, but unfortunately, I think it's true. Here it is: despite the large catalogue of music Gustav Holst composed, much of it wonderful, he is essentially a one-hit wonder in the classical music world, à la Pachelbel, Dukas, Mascagni, and others. His one hit is a big one, though: an epic, seven-movement suite entitled The Planets. As I said, Holst was not happy about this in the slightest. He was a prolific composer and someone who devoted himself fully to his subjects. He considered other works he wrote better than The Planets, and yet, in the end, we hear very little of his other music, though since the 1980s some of it has been performed more frequently, particularly in the UK. But The Planets is truly a hit: the reason we know Holst's name today, and one of the most frequently performed pieces in the entire Western classical canon. Holst took a novel approach to his depiction of the planets. They are not ordered by their astronomical distance, but by musical cohesiveness. Nor do they depict the planets in a scientific sense; instead, they present a deeply personal astrological interpretation, something we'll explore as we discuss the piece. The orchestration is massive yet subtle, with colors unique both to the work itself and to Holst's output more broadly. It is easy to listen to and straightforward, while also somehow intensely complex and varied. It is powerful, Romantic, thrilling, joyous, mysterious, terrifying, and ultimately cosmic in both conception and execution. This is one of those pieces that people love without necessarily giving it the full respect it deserves. So today on the show, we'll learn a little about Holst's life, what led him to write The Planets, and why this piece grabs hold of us and doesn't let go throughout our journey through the stars. Join us!

Dr. Alfonso Davila (NASA Ames Research Center)Nov. 24, 2025In 2005, NASA's Cassini spacecraft made a groundbreaking discovery—it found massive plumes of ice and gas erupting from the south pole of Enceladus, a small but geologically-active moon of Saturn. These plumes are now believed to originate from a subsurface ocean of liquid water beneath the moon's icy crust, with conditions compatible with life, as we know it. The talk focuses on our current understanding of Enceladus' plume and subsurface ocean, and on past and future strategies to search in them for possible evidence of life.  Alfonso Davila is a Research Scientist in the Exobiology branch at NASA Ames Research Center, where he helps develop strategies to search for evidence of life beyond Earth.

Planets are tough little buggers. They can form and survive in some extreme environments. In fact, the first confirmed planets outside our own solar system orbit the remnant of a dead star – a pulsar. A pulsar is tiny – the size of a small city. But it’s more massive than the Sun. A teaspoon of its matter would weigh as much as a mountain. Yet a pulsar spins rapidly – up to several hundred times per second. It has an extreme magnetic field. The field shoots “jets” of particles out into space. As the pulsar spins, the jets can sweep across Earth like a lighthouse beacon, producing short pulses of energy. The timing of those pulses is extremely precise. That makes pulsars some of the best clocks in the universe. But the timing can be changed by a companion – another star, or even a planet. And that’s how pulsar planets are discovered – through tiny changes in the timing of the pulses. Eight pulsar planets have been confirmed. But they present quite a challenge. A pulsar is the remnant of a titanic explosion – a supernova. It’s hard to see how any planets could survive such a blast. So it’s likely that the planets formed after the blast – perhaps from debris from the explosion’s aftermath. Regardless of how they formed, the planets aren’t friendly places. They’re blasted with charged particles, X-rays, and gamma rays from the pulsar. That may slowly erode the planets – no matter how tough they are. Script by Damond Benningfield

Rewatching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 7 — “The Andorian Incident.” Directed by Roxann Dawson, this tense bottle episode introduces Shran (the great Jeffrey Combs) and repositions the Andorians as more than blue-skinned bruisers. We dig into the Vulcan monastery of P'Jem, the hidden sensor array twist, T'Pol's loyalty test, Archer getting absolutely walloped, and why this hour is often cited as the moment Enterprise “found its voice.”We also riff on transporter anxiety, Andorian antennae, “pink-skins,” and how this early Human-Vulcan-Andorian friction foreshadows the United Federation of Planets.

Today, science has uncovered many wonders about the cosmos and about life within it, but science has also "reduced" most everything in the universe to virtually nothing. In our attempt to understand the universe and ourselves down to a quantified, subatomic constituency we have not only emptied the universe, but also virtually emptied ourselves. C.S. Lewis well understood that scientific quantification of the physical universe and scientific empiricism in general, cannot be the foundational paradigm for how we understand the cosmos and our place within it. Lewis was not criticizing science per se, however. Rather, he was highly critical of the belief that the scientific quantification of reality was the only way to understand reality. In such a universe, the essential facets of what make us human, morality, virtue, truth, beauty, and goodness all become mere emotive sentiments. This week on the Profile we continue our conversation with C.S. Lewis scholar Dr. Michael Ward about Lewis's prescient work The Abolition of Man and how it remains relevant for us today. From michaelward.netMichael Ward is an English literary critic and theologian. He works at the University of Oxford where he is an associate member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion. He is the author of the award-winning and best-selling Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis (Oxford University Press) and of After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man (Word on Fire Academic); he is the co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis (Cambridge University Press). Though based at Oxford in his native England, Dr Ward is also employed as Professor of Apologetics at Houston Christian University, Texas, teaching one course per semester as part of the online MA program in Christian Apologetics.Free Four-Page Articles From Watchman FellowshipCharles Darwin Carl Sagan's CosmosNaturalism Deconstruction FREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

Rob's flying solo today, with a few news updates: a new Congressional candidate in western Wisconsin, an effort to support a beloved local musician who collapsed on stage after a heart attack last week, a recap of Madison College's first-ever trip to the national junior college men's soccer tournament, and a review of "Planets as Stars," the poetry-driven performance we previewed on the podcast last week. Then, he talks to Kynala Phillips, the editor of a new community journalism project at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and an alum of Madison365's internship. Finally, he offers a bit of the Madison365 origin story, our philosophy, what community journalism means to us, and why we need you your support.

Planets are not destinations in my view. That is to say, not like Earth, consisting of dense rock and dirt. I consider them as spiritual realms, or hierarchies. In my consideration they may represent energies (lacking better terms) that relate to where we are going, and where we have been. I consider that they provide (more...)

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From August 2025. Today's 2 topics: - The Trappist-1 planetary system located about 40 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius consists of a small red dwarf star and 7 Earth sized planets. By carefully studying changes in the planet's transit timings and the shape of the dip in the host star's brightness as each planet transits across it, astronomers have been able to measure the orbital period, radius, and approximate mass for each of the 7 planets.   - Recently my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Richard Kowalski discovered 2017 MB1, a 0.4 mile diameter asteroid with the Catalina Sky Survey Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, AZ. Two hours and 11 minutes later it came into a set images I obtained with the 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, AZ. After I reported it, the new object was tracked by telescopes in Arizona, New Zealand, Slovenia, Kansas, Australia, Hungary, France, and Brazil.   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!

https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2524/lonely-planet-the-hungriest-found-in-space/ Hosted by Richard Drumm, our editor. You've probably heard of exoplanets. Planets that orbit stars other than our Sun. But did you know that there are objects with a mass similar to a planet that float free in space, that don't orbit a star? These lonely wanderers are called rogue planets.   Recently, a team of astronomers discovered a very special one in the southern constellation Chameleon. The rogue planet is named Cha (for Chameleon) 1107-7626 and is located about 620 light-years away. It has a mass of 5 to 10 times that of Jupiter and is still growing!    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!

Asteroid Belt and Meteorite Origins (Solar System Formation 2.  Greg Brennecka discusses the origins of objects falling to Earth, explaining that the asteroid belt's location is determined by the movement of large planets like Jupiter and Saturn, whose gravitational interactions swept material into specific resonance zones. Cosmochemists can link meteorites back to parent bodies such as Vesta by matching spectral data from probes to laboratory samples, and pieces of Mars also land on Earth, kicked off by space impacts and definitively identified by matching trapped gases to the known Martian atmosphere. Brennecka notes that the massive impact that formed the Moon likely caused the entire Earth to flash-melt, suggesting that if life existed before that event, it would have been extinguished by the heat. 1958
