Podcasts about Red Planet

NASA's Curiosity rover recently sent an image to Earth with a door clearly seen on Mars! Could it mean that we have found another civilization? Is it possible that there was or still is life on the Red Planet? Unfortunately, astronomers were fast to disappoint us: they claimed it was just a natural part of the Martian landscape. But still, there are a lot of interesting unknown facts about Mars. Thumbnail.

The first images of Mars found their way back to Earth from NASA's Mariner 4 mission on 15th July, 1965 - and were simultaneously revelatory and disappointing. Delivered as binary code, rendered in black and white, and revealing only 1% of the planet, the photos were coloured in by hand and showed no evidence of life. But they played a significant part in the scientific understanding of the Red Planet for years to come. In this episode, Arion, Olly and Rebecca compare the computing power of the 1960s with ‘lame' Victorian telescopes; reveal the surprisingly recent date that the first ever colour image of Mars was committed to camera; and explain how a mis-translation from Italian lead H.G. Wells to think there may be Martian waterways...

Only about one in five Americans was born before the “Mars Era” – before the first spacecraft visited the Red Planet. That first encounter took place 60 years ago today, beginning six decades of Mars exploration. Mariner 4 was launched in late 1964. A sister craft had failed. And early Soviet efforts failed as well. That inspired jokes about a “great galactic ghoul” eating Mars-bound probes. Mariner 4 had eluded the ghoul for seven months. AUDIO: Then, July 14th: Encounter Day. This is Mariner control. All systems are green. And as this NASA film explained, they stayed green. AUDIO: The shutter is operating, the TV sees the planet, the recorder is working. Mariner skimmed just 6100 miles from Mars. It snapped 21 pictures. The images depicted a landscape of craters and volcanic plains. They made Mars look like a dead planet. Yet Mars exploration continued. Later missions revealed that Mariner 4 was unlucky – it scanned an unusually desolate strip. Today, we know that Mars has an active atmosphere. Ice lurks just below its surface. And it once was warm and wet, with rivers flowing across its surface, perhaps filling a giant ocean – making Mars a possible home for life. Today, a half-dozen orbiters and rovers are exploring the planet. And others are being planned – extending a legacy of exploration that began six decades ago. Script by Damond Benningfield

A decade before Mariner 4 got to Mars (on this day in 1965), a company famous for its advertising jokingly offered its customers a chance to go to the Red Planet - and a very serious customer tried to get them to follow through. Plus: a design studio in France builds a walk-through installation out of nearly 800 old baguettes.

Mars and the Moon stage a spectacular encounter this evening. The Moon will slide just a fraction of a degree from the planet, which looks like a bright star. Something we’ve learned about both of these worlds is that they have a lot of frozen water. On the Moon, it’s mixed in with the dirt and pebbles, or buried in craters that never see the Sun. On Mars, it’s also mixed in at the surface, but it’s also found in the polar ice caps, in layers of frost, and elsewhere. On Mars, there’s even evidence of liquid water far below the surface. A study last year said there could be a lot of water buried in spaces in the rocks about 10 miles down – enough water to cover the surface of Mars in an ocean about a mile deep. And earlier this year, scientists in Japan reported more evidence of that water. They analyzed the observations of the InSight lander, which operated for four years. The craft listened for “marsquakes.” Sound waves from the quakes traveled through the planet. The new study looked at how different types of waves rippled through the interior. Each type of wave travels differently as it passes through different materials – rock versus water, for example. So comparing the waves revealed the likely presence of water miles below the surface. On Earth, where there’s water, there’s life. So an ocean’s-worth of water could provide a home for life on the Red Planet. Script by Damond Benningfield

Two fairly bright lights are headed for an especially close meet-up: the planet Mars and the star Regulus, the heart of the lion. They’re a few degrees apart tonight, but they’ll draw even closer over the coming evenings. Right now, Mars and Regulus are almost the same brightness. One way to tell them apart is their color – Mars looks pale orange, while Regulus is white with a hint of blue. Binoculars accentuate the colors. Another way to tell them apart is to look for them to twinkle. Regulus does, but Mars doesn’t. That’s because Mars is a bigger target in our sky. Regulus is thousands of times the size of Mars. But it’s so far away that we see it as nothing more than a pinpoint. That tiny beam of light is bent and twisted as it passes through the atmosphere. That causes the star to “twinkle.” It twinkles more when the air is more unsettled. Mars, on the other hand, is close enough that it appears as a tiny disk, made up of many pinpoints. Each one twinkles, but they even out. So Mars appears to hold steady as it shines through even the most un-steady skies. Look for Mars and Regulus about a third of the way up the western sky at nightfall. Regulus perches to the left or upper left of Mars. They’ll pass closest to one another on Monday and Tuesday. After that, they’ll move apart. At the same time, Mars will fade. A couple of weeks from now, Regulus will clearly outshine the Red Planet. Script by Damond Benningfield

Join planetary scientist Beth Johnson as we explore a groundbreaking discovery from NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars. Scientists have identified siderite—a rare iron carbonate mineral—within ancient Martian rocks, offering new insights into Mars' once-thicker atmosphere and its now-lost carbon cycle. This discovery reshapes our understanding of the Red Planet's climate history and helps us draw powerful parallels to Earth's carbon processes. Dr. Ben Tutolo, associate professor at the University of Calgary and participating scientist on NASA's Curiosity rover team, explains that as Mars' atmosphere thinned over time, carbon dioxide was sequestered into rock formations, leading to a dramatic climate shift from a warm, wet environment to the cold, arid planet we see today. These findings provide evidence that ancient Mars was habitable and offer insights into the fragility of planetary climates. Dr. Tutolo emphasizes the parallels between Mars' atmospheric changes and current efforts on Earth to mitigate climate change by converting anthropogenic CO₂ into stable carbonates. Understanding the mechanisms of carbon sequestration on Mars could inform strategies to address climate challenges on our own planet. (Recorded live 5 June 2025.)

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast this week, Geordie and Michelle look at aliens, strange space debris and would-be martians… On the 1st of December, 1987, Philip Spencer (not his real name) went out into the fog on Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire, England, for an early-morning walk. Through the fog, he saw what he initially thought was a child with the long spindly limbs, oval eyes, a large head and strange proportions. On instinct, Philip snapped a picture of the strange child – and then things got weird. Listen now to discover why what happened next has made this story one of the UK's most baffling alien-abduction encounters (hint: contains missing time, hypnosis and a very reluctant witness). Geordie follows with a look at the dud that was the Mars One would-be space mission. Back in 2012, a Dutch space entrepreneur launched an exciting new proposal – he planned to send 100 people on a one-way trip to Mars to live out the rest of their days on the Red Planet. What's more, they'd all be on their very own reality TV show about the mission! Genius! Except that the whole idea turned out to be a turkey. Listen now to find out why! So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chit-chat about a weird space orb found in Buga, Matthew Brown the UFO whistleblower, banned baby names and more, plus a snippet from friend of the show, Serena Bobowski - only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

The Moon has regular dates with the stars. It returns to the same position relative to the stars every 27 days and eight hours. As an example, the Moon cozied up to Regulus, the bright heart of the lion, on May 5th, and it does so again this evening – 27 days, eight hours later. This encounter is especially close as seen from the United States – the Moon and Regulus will appear to almost touch each other. That time span is known as the lunar sidereal period – “sidereal” meaning “related to the stars.” The planets have their own sidereal periods. Mars, for example, returns to the same point relative to the stars every 22 and a half months. Tonight, Mars is well to the lower right of Regulus, and looks like an orange star. It’ll return to almost the same position in April of 2027. The match won’t be exact because our viewing angle to the Red Planet changes a bit from year to year. The sidereal period is different from the period relative to the Sun – a difference caused by Earth’s own orbital motion. For the Moon, that period lasts 29 and a half days – the length of a cycle of phases. And for Mars, the Sun-related period is almost 26 months. That’s how long it takes Mars to return to the same angle from the Sun – part of the precise but sometimes confusing motions in the night sky. More about the motions of the planets tomorrow.

Mars just got a whole lot weirder—scientists found that oxygen on the Red Planet behaves as if something is breathing!

A groundbreaking study from the University of Colorado Boulder suggests that ancient Mars was far from the cold, arid planet we know today. Led by Amanda Steckel, the research team utilized computer simulations to reveal that billions of years ago, Mars experienced significant precipitation—either rain or snow—that carved out extensive networks of valleys and channels across its surface. These findings challenge previous theories that Mars was predominantly cold and dry, instead supporting the idea of a warmer, wetter climate during the Noachian epoch, approximately 4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago. The study provides compelling evidence that precipitation played a crucial role in shaping the Martian landscape, offering new insights into the planet's climatic history and its potential to have supported life. Join planetary scientist Beth Johnson and Dr. Steckel as they discuss the results of this study and its implications for finding life, especially past life, on Mars. (Recorded live 8 May 2025.)

NASA recently spotted something strange on Mars—a nearly perfect square-shaped formation on the planet's surface! At first glance, it looks like something artificial, sparking wild theories about aliens and ancient civilizations. But scientists believe it's actually a natural geological formation, likely caused by cracks, erosion, or volcanic activity. Nature sometimes creates surprisingly geometric shapes, just like hexagonal basalt columns on Earth. While it's not proof of Martian life, it's still an exciting discovery that makes us wonder what else is hiding on the Red Planet. Who knows? Maybe one day, we'll find something even more mysterious!

In this episode of SpaceTime, we unveil groundbreaking evidence that challenges previously held theories about the origins of Earth's water. Recent findings published in the journal Icarus indicate that rather than being delivered by asteroids and comets, Earth's water may have formed alongside the planet itself. The study utilizes a unique meteorite known as the enstatite chondrite to reveal a rich source of hydrogen essential for water formation, reshaping our understanding of how life-sustaining conditions developed on Earth.The Enigmatic Magnetic Field of MarsNext, we delve into the curious case of Mars's magnetic field, which has puzzled scientists for decades. A new study suggests that the strange magnetic signatures observed on the Red Planet could be attributed to a partially molten core predominantly covering the southern hemisphere. This research provides fresh insights into Mars's geological history and the implications for its atmospheric evolution, as the planet transitioned from a warm, wet environment to the arid desert we see today.The Lyrids Meteor ShowerAdditionally, we celebrate one of humanity's oldest known meteor showers, the Lyrids, which are currently dazzling skywatchers. First recorded over 2,700 years ago, these meteors originate from comet Thatcher and promise a beautiful celestial display. Although not as prolific as other meteor showers, the Lyrids offer a captivating spectacle for stargazers, with expectations of 10 to 15 meteors per hour during peak viewing times.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 50 for broadcast on 25 April 202500:49 New evidence on the origins of Earth's water06:30 Analysis of the enstatite chondrite meteorite12:15 The mystery of Mars's magnetic field18:00 Implications of a partially molten Martian core22:45 Overview of the Lyrids meteor shower27:00 Summary of recent astronomical findings30:15 Science report: Health risks linked to food additiveswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

One man alone on a planet of death. — A deadly robot made especially to pursue a human being. Was it just a cruel sport devised for some bloodthirsty pleasure? Built to Kill, Programmed to Chase—The Ultimate Predator Has No Mercy. Man-Hunting Robot by James Rosenquest. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today's featured author is James Rosenquest—and no, not James Rosenquist, the famous American pop artist. When you search for our James Rosenquest online, Google will try to convince you that you meant the other guy. But we're here to shine a light on the lesser-known Rosenquest—the science fiction writer.So what do we know about him? Honestly, not a whole lot. He published just five sci-fi stories in 1959 and one more in 1960—and then disappeared from the literary scene. That's the entirety of his known work. But as always, even brief sparks can leave a lasting impression.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 46The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastUnraveling Black Hole Jets, Martian Dust Devils, and Earth's Tectonic MysteriesIn this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking research that sheds light on how black holes generate their powerful plasma jets. A new study reveals that these jets are formed when superheated gas experiences a rapid shrinking towards the black hole's event horizon, offering insights into galaxy evolution and the fundamental physics of black holes. We discuss the implications of these findings for understanding cosmic phenomena and the behavior of matter in extreme gravitational fields.NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Observes Martian TwistersNext, we delve into the fascinating observations made by NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover, which has captured images of dust devils swirling on the rim of Jezero Crater. These dust devils, including one consuming another, provide important data on Martian atmospheric conditions and help refine our climate models of the Red Planet. The rover's findings highlight the role of these phenomena in influencing Martian weather and surface interactions.New Insights into Earth's Tectonic PlatesAdditionally, we discuss a new study that uncovers how anomalies in the Earth's mantle transition zone affect the movement of tectonic plates. The research suggests that thick basaltic rock compositions within this zone can influence the trajectory and speed of subducting plates, which is vital for understanding the recycling of surface materials and the long-term stability of Earth's climate. This discovery opens new avenues for studying plate tectonics and its implications for our planet's habitability.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 46 for broadcast on 16 April 202500:49 Mechanisms behind black hole jet formation06:30 Implications for galaxy evolution and black hole physics12:15 Mars Perseverance Rover's dust devil observations18:00 Importance of dust devils in Martian climate studies22:45 Insights into Earth's tectonic plate movement27:00 Summary of recent geological findings30:15 Science report: Social media's impact on body imagewww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

For decades, scientists hypothesized that Mars’ reddish color came from hematite, an iron oxide thought to have formed through dry oxidation after Mars lost its water. But new research suggests the story is more complex—and more watery—than we once imagined. In this episode, planetary scientist Adomas (Adam) Valantinas from Brown University joins host Sarah Al-Ahmed to discuss his team’s discovery that Mars’ iconic red dust is likely dominated not by hematite but by a hydrated mineral called ferrihydrite. This subtle but significant shift in understanding could reshape what we know about Mars’ climate history and its potential for past habitability. Then, Sarah and Bruce Betts, Planetary Society chief scientist, revisit one of the most famous Martian discoveries: Opportunity’s hematite-rich “blueberries,” which also told a compelling story about water on the Red Planet.
