Podcasts about Red Planet

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we head back to the golden age of radio science fiction — when Mars wasn't just a planet… it was a possibility. The 1950s were fascinated with the Red Planet. From invasion fears to philosophical first contact, Martians were everywhere. Tonight, we present two outstanding radio dramas that explore humanity's encounter with Mars in very different ways. One throws a parade. The other hires a detective. Both ask timeless questions about who we are when faced with the unknown. In This Episode "The Parade" – Dimension X (8/25/1950) Based on a story by Ray Bradbury, an advertising agency is hired to organize a grand parade for visitors from Mars. It's thoughtful, eerie, and builds toward a quiet twist that lingers long after the final line. "The Embassy" – X Minus One (7/28/1955) A private detective is tasked with locating the Martian embassy on Earth. A noir-tinged science fiction tale that trades ray guns for moral dilemmas and asks deeper questions about identity and belonging. These two classics showcase the brilliance of golden age radio storytelling. No flashy effects. No over-the-top spectacle. Just strong writing, sharp performances, and ideas that still resonate decades later. The 1950s may be remembered as the era of Martian invasion, but beneath the flying saucers were stories about fear, curiosity, and what it truly means to be human. So sit back, dim the lights, and listen closely. You never know who might be knocking.

Former military intelligence officer and Stargate program veteran Dr. Paul H. Smith reveals the CIA's classified history of psychic spying and explains how the military weaponized human consciousness to remote view targets across time and space in episode 237 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Dr. Paul H. Smith is a retired Major who served 20 years in the U.S. military, serving as a tactical intelligence officer with the 101st Airborne Division during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and as a strategic intelligence officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency. For seven years, he was a primary member of the government's secret remote viewing program at Fort Meade, where he served as an operational remote viewer, instructor, and unit historian. After retiring in 1996, he earned a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in the philosophy of mind to further explore the hard problem of consciousness and its implications for non-physical realities.In this conversation, Faust and Dr. Paul H. Smith explore the high-stakes world of Project 8200 and the administrative skepticism that led to the program's official closure in 1995. They discuss the democratic nature of ESP, debunking the myth that one must have a special gift to be successful. By examining the redacted files of SRI International and the military classification of anomaly targets, they reveal a legacy of psychic intelligence that remains one of the government's most controversial paranormal secrets.In this episode: - The Stargate Origins: How a rumor about a psychic on the Nautilus submarine sparked a psychotronics arms race with the Soviet Union. - The Cooked CIA Report: Why the 1995 analysis used to justify closing Stargate only examined 40 out of 3,000 operational sessions. - Post-Stargate Secrets: Compelling evidence from whistleblowers that remote viewing programs may still exist within the NSA or other hidden government tiers. - Stanford Research Institute: The startling SRI discovery that remote viewing is an inborn human skill rather than a rare gift. - The Legend of Pat Price: A look at the most significant figure in remote viewing history and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. - Project 8200: The classified exploration of alleged UFO bases and encounters with non-human intelligence. - The Mars Sessions: A deep dive into the famous remote viewing experiences involving the Red Planet. - The Heaven's Gate Impact: How sensational claims and tragedies have historically damaged the public perception of serious consciousness research. - Administrative Cynicism: Why the CIA's decision to end Stargate was more about seizing personnel slots than actual program failure. - The Hard Problem: Why physicalist science struggles to explain a consciousness that isn't limited by the physical brain.This isn't just a discussion about spies and psychics. It is a radical look at military intelligence that proves our highest level defense agencies spent decades using consciousness as a legitimate weapon to pierce the boundaries of time and space.Check Out Dr. Paul H.

Building upon the author's previous research, An Inconvenient Theory expands upon the idea that multiple advanced civilizations existed during the last 130,000 years. Drawing inspiration from Charles Hapgood's controversial crustal displacement theory, the author explores how shifts in Earth's crust—not just plate tectonics or Milankovitch cycles—might explain glacial cycles, mass extinctions, and unexplained archaeological site alignments. Through detailed analysis of ancient site orientations, climate data, and geological processes, the book proposes a revised mechanism for pole shifts involving an interplay between mantle convection and tidal forces, the same forces that move Earth's oceans. The work challenges mainstream geoscience and climate models, offering a bold, alternative view of Earth's deep history and the cycles of civilization, catastrophe, and climate change.Mark Carlotto has over forty years of experience in space-related applications involving remote sensing, mapping, image processing, pattern recognition, machine learning, and related technologies. He received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1981 and has written over one hundred technical and scientific papers and nine books. He was an assistant adjunct professor at Boston University from 1981 to 1983 where he taught courses in computer architecture and image processing.Outside of his occupation in the aerospace industry, Dr. Carlotto's journey as an independent scientist began in 1985 when he first learned of the infamous Face on Mars in a newspaper article. His first book The Martian Enigmas examines the Face and other unusual objects on the Red Planet first imaged by a Viking orbiter spacecraft in 1976. His research based on a method known as shape-from-shading to analyze the 3-D structure of the Face was included by Carl Sagan in his TV series Cosmos. Dr. Carlotto's second book The Cydonia Controversy steps back from the science of the Mars investigation examining it within the context of the centuries-old search for life beyond Earth and its possible implications.His journey took an unexpected turn in 2003 when he got lost exploring the woods in a place called Dogtown – a deserted colonial settlement in the middle of Cape Ann – an island community north of Boston. There being no detailed maps of the area, he decided to map old roads and trails, stonewalls, cellar holes, and other features using newly emerging GPS technology. His next book The Dogtown Guide, a far cry from Mars, was a field guide and history of Dogtown that received a Preservation Award from the Gloucester Historical Commission in 2007. Relating history and landscape his next book, The Island Woods published in 2012 is a three-hundred-year-long spatial history of the forested interior of Cape Ann complementing other books written about Gloucester's well-known maritime heritage. Combining maps and genealogy data, his third book in the series The Cellars Speak offers new insight into the early settlers who lived in the woods of Cape Ann hundreds of years ago.Another book written at this time Diary of a Serial App Developer is a tongue-in-cheek autobiography of a ten-year stint moonlighting as an early iPhone app developer.Dr. Carlotto's collaboration in a study of astronomical alignments at a Native American ceremonial site published by the Massachusetts Archaeological Society in 2015 was an inkling of things to come. While planning a trip to Mexico a few years later he found the archaeological sites he hoped to visit were not aligned in any obvious way. Before Atlantis published in 2018, describes his discovery that these and other ancient sites across the world appear to have been aligned to previous locations of the North Pole, and virtue of their alignment could be tens of thousands to more than a hundred thousand years old.Completing a book started in the 1990s, Not of This World, released in 2021, examines historical UFO cases and recently disclosed reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). His analysis reveals that some UFOs/UAP are likely real, exceed known aerospace capabilities, appear to defy the laws of physics as they are currently understood, and might not be extraterrestrial in origin.Beyond Atlantis, his next book is the culmination of research into the lost civilizations of the world that began in Before Atlantis. Dr. Carlotto analyzes hundreds of ancient sites and proposes a new theory of ancient civilizations based on an extensive body of evidence that challenges conventional paradigms.His latest book, An Inconvenient Theory, which builds upon previous research, explores the idea of how shifts in Earth's crust—not just plate tectonics or Milankovitch cycles—might explain glacial cycles, mass extinctions, and unexplained archaeological site alignments. Through detailed analysis of ancient site orientations, climate data, and geological processes, Dr. Carlotto proposes a revised mechanism for pole shifts involving an interplay between mantle convection and tidal forces, the same forces that move Earth's oceans.www.beforeatlantis.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Astronomy Daily — Season 5, Episode 45 | February 21, 2026 "Countdown to the Moon: Artemis II Crew in Quarantine" The Artemis II crew — Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch (NASA), and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen (CSA) — have officially entered quarantine ahead of a targeted March 6, 2026 launch. With the second Wet Dress Rehearsal completed successfully on February 19th, humanity is just two weeks away from returning to the Moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. Anna and Avery break down everything you need to know about this historic mission. Also on today's episode: •  DARK MATTER UNDER PRESSURE: A new paper in Physical Review D claims its findings represent the first step toward the end of dark matter theory as we know it — researchers have found a plethora of baryonic (ordinary) dark matter signals that challenge the standard cosmological model. •  AURORA WATCH: A large coronal hole on the Sun has rotated into a geoeffective position, with fast solar wind expected to reach Earth around February 22nd. Skywatchers at higher latitudes should keep their eyes on the skies tomorrow night. •  MARS WATER UPDATE: New research suggests water ice on Mars may be accessible far closer to the equator than previously believed — a game-changing development for future human exploration of the Red Planet. •  SERIAL KILLER BLACK HOLES: Astronomers using James Webb Space Telescope data have confirmed that active supermassive black holes don't just shut down star formation in their own galaxies — they can suppress star formation in neighbouring galaxies too. •  SPACEX NEAR MISS: SpaceX successfully landed its Falcon 9 booster in The Bahamas for only the second time ever after launching 29 Starlink satellites — but someone at SpaceX admitted they 'almost did have a really terrible day.'

Welcome to another episode of the Following Films Podcast. Today, we are exploring a project that is equal parts hilarious, bizarre, and incredibly poignant: the animated feature film MARS. This film marks the final project from the legendary cult comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U'Know, serving as a bittersweet and brilliant capstone to the legacy of the late, beloved Trevor Moore. Joining me to discuss the Herculean effort required to bring this vision to the big screen is the film's director and producer, Sevan Najarian. He has been a vital force in the alternative media landscape for years, and in this episode, we trace his fascinating career path, from his early days getting into the director's chair for animation to his involvement with the irreverent and influential world of Channel Zero.We also dive deep into the "scrappy" and often painstaking labor of love that was the production of MARS. Conceptualized over a decade ago, the film follows Kyle, a man who enters a contest to go to the Red Planet mostly to escape his impending wedding, only to find himself stranded with a crew of lunatics on a ship that is anything but luxury. With an 8-city screening tour kicking off February 20th at participating Alamo Drafthouse locations and a wider theatrical release on March 13th, there has never been a better time to celebrate the return of the WKUK. So, let's get into my conversation with Sevan Najarian about the decade-long journey to the Red Planet, the evolution of his career, and why this story is more relevant today than ever before.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 21In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore intriguing revelations about the search for life on Mars, the surprising effects of Saturn's moon Enceladus on its planet, and the monumental volcanic events that reshaped Earth's tectonic landscape.Life on Mars: A New PerspectiveRecent findings suggest that non-biological processes cannot fully explain the organic compounds found in Martian regolith samples collected by NASA's Curiosity rover. Published in the journal Astrobiology, the study indicates that life may have contributed to some of these compounds, challenging previous assumptions. The research involved evaluating potential non-biological sources and concluded that the abundance of organics on Mars could hint at past life, sparking renewed interest in the Red Planet's potential habitability.Enceladus' Electromagnetic InfluenceA fascinating study reveals that Saturn's icy moon Enceladus trails a wake of electromagnetic ripples extending over half a million kilometers, significantly influencing its giant host planet. Data from NASA's Cassini mission demonstrated how Enceladus' geysers contribute to energy and momentum circulation within Saturn's magnetic environment, marking a crucial discovery about the moon's role in the Saturnian system.Earth's Volcanic HistoryNew research highlights how Earth's largest volcanic event, associated with the Ontong Java Plateau, dramatically altered a major tectonic plate. The findings suggest that extensive volcanic activity led to significant physiochemical modifications within the oceanic plate, enhancing our understanding of plate formation processes and the environmental impacts of such massive eruptions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrobiology, Geophysical Research Space Physics, Geophysical Research LettersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.

Wild Thing is re-releasing its bonus interviews! Sarah Stewart Johnson is a planetary scientist who has worked on several Mars missions and is also the author of Sirens of Mars. She talks to us about the latest mission to the Red Planet—the Perseverance rover—and why our closest neighbor holds such fascination for Earthlings.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into groundbreaking research revealing the true composition of the Earth's core, explore new insights into solar neutrinos, and uncover the complexities of Martian volcanoes.Earth's Core Contains Vast Hydrogen ReservoirA recent study published in Nature Communications indicates that Earth's core may hold up to 45 oceans' worth of hydrogen, challenging the long-held belief that water on our planet primarily came from asteroids and comets. Utilizing advanced laboratory techniques, researchers simulated the extreme conditions of the core to uncover its surprising hydrogen content, suggesting a significant internal source of water far beyond previous estimates.Neutrinos from the Sun's CoreA new dark matter experiment has successfully detected neutrinos originating from the Sun's core, marking a significant milestone in our understanding of these elusive particles. The LZ experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility captured signals from Brian 8 solar neutrinos, providing valuable data on solar processes and setting new limits for dark matter research. This breakthrough highlights the potential of neutrino studies in unraveling the mysteries of both dark matter and stellar dynamics.Complexity of Martian VolcanoesNew findings published in Geology reveal that young Martian volcanoes are far more complex than previously thought. Researchers have discovered that these volcanoes were shaped by long-lasting and evolving magma systems rather than single eruptions. By analyzing surface features and mineral compositions from orbit, scientists have reconstructed the intricate eruptive history of these volcanic systems, shedding light on the Red Planet's geological past.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Communications, GeologyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.(00:00:00) New study reveals Earth's core may contain vast amounts of hydrogen(00:08:30) Breakthrough in solar neutrino detection from the Sun's core(00:16:45) Insights into the complex eruptive history of Martian volcanoes(00:25:00) Science report: The link between caffeine consumption and reduced dementia risk(00:32:15) Study on the frequency of passionate love experiences in humans

We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Podcast music by Koji KoburaA modern continuation of the serious research into the infamous Face on Mars, which had been more than 20 years since books were written & put forth by authors & researchers alike to show and detail about its anomalous nature & its perceived evidence of extraterrestrial origin and intelligent design on the surface of Mars.Despite all of the amazing details & facts presented by those authors & researchers to make a case for the Face being scientifically worthy for further discussion & continued visual research & study of the Face, NASA has claimed the Face of Cydonia has been successfully and scientifically debunked in 2007. The Face being claimed & officially asserted by NASA that it is only a natural object, with tricks of light & shadow showing no intelligent deliberateness regards to what is actually seen in image data. NASA had declared that the case for the Face was closed & was not willing or even interested to discuss the subject seriously, or investigate into the matter further.Sadly, this official NASA position of denial has not been challenged by any of the previous researchers & authors, or any new ones ever since then, to show that not only is the Case for the Face still scientifically valuable for continued debate & continued study of image data we had back then to study, but the vast amount of image data that we do have now available to us, clearly shows that the Case for the Face is far from closed, nor is it close to being over!Gary Leggiere — also known as The Mars Revealer — is an independent researcher and long-time investigator of the infamous Face on Mars. With over two decades of focused study, Gary has hosted radio shows, interviewed key anomaly researchers, and built one of the most extensive public archives dedicated to the topic.The Faces of Mars is his debut book — a culmination of decades spent challenging NASA's claims and uncovering suppressed image data that may point to artificial structures on the Red Planet.Gary is the founder of The Martian Revelation show, where he continues to speak publicly on planetary anomalies, space mysteries, and the search for intelligent life beyond Earth.For interviews or inquiries, email: marsrevealer at gmail dot comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

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!

After a decade of working in Hollywood on shows like “Arrested Development” and a project with Danny DeVito and Jeff Goldblum, writer Jake Korell took what started as a “truly awful adult animated TV pilot,” then transformed it to a podcast series and finally into his first novel, “The Second World.” “Mars has declared its independence from Earth. But building a country takes more than a new flag, an arena-worthy anthem, and naming Pluto the donkey the national animal. As the Red Planet spirals into political upheaval, Flip Buchanan—the irreverent, reluctant son of the most powerful man on Mars—stumbles through two tumultuous decades of alien discoveries, killer clones, and the chaos of a new nation still working out the kinks.  Always second-best in a family obsessed with being first, Flip must grapple with the absurdity of Martian society and the gravity of legacy to step out of his father's shadow and define self-worth on his own terms—a feat that can feel as impossible as climbing Olympus Mons.” In this episode, Jake talks about the origin of this “truly awful” story, how he adapted it to a podcast, and the ‘ah-ha' moment when he knew he had a book on his hands. He talks about the main character, Flip Buchanan, how he came to be and his role in the story. Jake also shares some parallels between the world he treated on Mars and the one we still live on.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TONIGHT: Bob Zimmerman reports that a standard three-week communication blackout with Mars has begun due to the sun blocking the line of sight between Earth and the Red Planet. While relay satellites may eventually prevent these biannual interruptions, NASA currently prepares all spacecraft to withstand the temporary silence.1957

During the fifty years since the launch of the Viking spacecraft to Mars, our view of the red planet has changed from hostile desert to a world which was once covered in water, and which may just possibly sustain life. Lavishly illustrated with the latest images from the fleet of spacecraft that have explored our neighbour, this lecture considers how Mars' fate, like that of Earth, was set in the Solar System's first billion years, and the chaotic environment the process of planet formation produced.This lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on the 3rd of December 2025 at Conway Hall, LondonProfessor Chris Lintott is a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at New College.Having been educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge and University College London, his research now ranges from understanding how galaxies form and evolve, to using machine learning to find the most unusual things in the Universe, to predicting the properties of visiting interstellar asteroids. He was the founder of the Zooniverse citizen science platform, which provides opportunities for more than two million online volunteers to contribute to scientific research, and which was the topic of his first book, 'The Crowd and the Cosmos'. His latest book is ‘Our Accidental Universe'. Professor Lintott is best known for presenting the BBC's long-running Sky at Night program, and as an accomplished lecturer. Away from work, he cooks, suffers through being a fan of Torquay United and Somerset cricket, and spends time with a rescued lurcher, Mr Max. He can often be found at the helm of Oxford's science comedy night, ‘Huh, That's Funny'.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/mars-loveGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Episode 339 Humans are finally going back to the moon. NASA's Artemis II mission is set to launch in April, taking four astronauts in a loop around the moon. If it goes well, it'll set the stage for a lunar landing by Artemis III - bringing us closer to creating permanent settlements on the surface. And that's not all - SpaceX is planning to visit Mars this year as part of its plans to colonise the Red Planet. Plus, in May we might see the launch of a new American space station. Will these missions mark 2026 as the year that kick-started our spread off planet? GLP-1 weight loss drugs are set to get cheaper this year. The patent on semaglutide - the active ingredient in drugs like Ozempic - is about to run out, meaning more people will be able to access these hugely impactful medications. A pill version is also on the horizon, plus one upcoming drug that can cut body weight by a whopping 24 per cent. The first phase 3 trials of LSD are taking place this year. 55 years after being banned, the psychedelic drug is being tested once again for its ability to reduce anxiety and treat mental health conditions. Research suggests LSD can rewire your brain and relieve moderate to severe anxiety for at least three months. But will the trials prove its benefits outweigh any side effects? A carbon border tariff is being imposed by the EU - taxing imports of materials like steel from countries that aren't doing enough to keep their emissions down. The policy is a positive step for climate action and will help to make EU industries more competitive. And it looks like countries around the world are soon to follow suit.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking discoveries and exciting celestial events that illuminate our understanding of the universe.Earliest Supernova Ever DetectedAstronomers have achieved a remarkable milestone by detecting the earliest supernova ever observed, dating back to a mere 730 million years after the Big Bang. Using the powerful Webb Space Telescope, this supernova, cataloged as GRB250314A, emitted a gamma ray burst that has shattered previous distance records. Lead author Andrew Levin shares insights into how this discovery provides a glimpse into the universe when it was only 5% of its current age, revealing surprising similarities with modern supernovae despite the vast differences in their epochs.Liquid Water on Mars: New EvidenceNew seismic data from NASA's Mars InSight lander suggests that liquid water could still exist beneath the Martian surface, potentially providing a habitat for microbial life. The analysis of marsquakes has revealed boundaries in the Martian crust that indicate the presence of water-filled cracks, offering compelling evidence that life may persist on the Red Planet. We discuss the implications of these findings and the methodologies used to analyze the Martian subsurface.The Great Geminids Meteor Shower of 2025The annual Geminid meteor shower is reaching its peak, presenting stargazers with the chance to witness up to 100 meteors per hour under optimal conditions. Unlike many meteor showers that originate from comets, the Geminids are unique as they come from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. Dr. Robert Massey provides tips on how to best observe this spectacular celestial event, emphasizing the importance of dark skies and the naked eye for optimal viewing.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstronomy and AstrophysicsBritish Medical JournalNature CommunicationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) New clues suggest that liquid water could still exist on Mars today(00:00:48) Astronomers have detected the earliest supernova ever seen using the Webb Space Telescope(00:05:10) New study based on seismic data suggests liquid water may still exist on Mars(00:09:12) The Geminids are visible between now and December 20th(00:13:10) New study finds coffee may slow down biological aging of people with mental illnesses

Tonight on Veritas our special guest is George Haas. For more than thirty years, he has committed himself to a mystery that sits far beyond the borders of accepted history. Across Earth, from the Nazca plateau to the ancient cities of Mesoamerica, we find evidence that early cultures carved meaning and intention directly into the land. Yet on Mars, a world long assumed to be barren, there are formations that raise questions far more provocative than anything we see here on Earth. George Haas approaches the Red Planet not as a traditional scientist, but as an artist trained to see structure, symmetry, and design. When he studies high resolution orbital images, he does not see random geology. He sees hexagonal mounds with mathematical precision. He sees star shaped complexes positioned like architectural blueprints. He sees gridded foundations scattered across a region NASA once labeled chaotic terrain. And he sees immense geoglyphs, including a parrot that veterinarians concluded displays more than twenty accurate anatomical points. These are not the vague shapes of imagination. They are detailed, consistent, and often familiar. His new book, The Great Architects of Mars, takes the reader into a hidden chapter of our solar system. Haas explores the Keyhole formation in Libya Montes, a structure whose proportions mirror kofun tombs of ancient Japan. He examines twin cities laid out near a long dead Martian lake. He analyzes symbols carved into the landscape that echo motifs found in Mesoamerican art. And then he turns to the ancient records here on Earth. The Maya spoke of a Star War linked to Mars. The Sumerians told stories of visitors from the heavens. These accounts have always been treated as myth. Haas asks a different question. What if they are memories. Tonight we explore the evidence, the contradictions, and the possibilities. Did Mars once hold a civilization capable of engineering, storytelling, and interplanetary contact. If so, what remains of it, and what does it mean for us now.

In this episode, we explore a series of groundbreaking developments in space exploration and astronomy. We start with the monumental announcement of Jared Isaacman, the billionaire entrepreneur and astronaut, as the new head of NASA, signaling a potential shift towards more commercially driven missions. Next, we delve into the astonishing discovery of a supermassive black hole racing through intergalactic space, leaving a trail of newborn stars in its wake—an incredible testament to the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope. We then turn our attention to Mars, where the Perseverance Rover has traveled nearly 25 miles, uncovering geological treasures that may hold clues to past life on the Red Planet.Moving closer to home, we discuss recent findings from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter that reveal the Moon is not as dormant as once thought, with young geological features indicating ongoing changes. Finally, we celebrate the successful inaugural launch of the Ariane 6 rocket by the European Space Agency, restoring Europe's independent access to space and enhancing its global navigation capabilities.### Timestamps & Stories01:05 – **Story 1: Jared Isaacman Appointed Head of NASA****Key Facts**- Billionaire entrepreneur and astronaut Jared Isaacman takes the helm at NASA.- His leadership may accelerate partnerships with private space companies.03:20 – **Story 2: Runaway Supermassive Black Hole****Key Facts**- Astronomers confirm a supermassive black hole moving at 2.2 million mph, leaving a trail of stars.- The black hole was ejected from its galaxy due to a cosmic collision.05:45 – **Story 3: Perseverance Rover's Milestone on Mars****Key Facts**- The rover has traveled nearly 25 miles and is conducting groundbreaking geological research.- It is analyzing rocks that may have interacted with water, hinting at past life.08:00 – **Story 4: Active Moon Surfaces****Key Facts**- New images reveal young geological features on the Moon, indicating ongoing changes.- These findings challenge previous assumptions about the Moon's inactivity.10:15 – **Story 5: Successful Launch of Ariane 6 Rocket****Key Facts**- The European Space Agency celebrates the successful inaugural launch of the Ariane 6 rocket.- This launch restores Europe's independent access to space and enhances the Galileo satellite system.### Sources & Further Reading1. NASA2. James Webb Space Telescope3. European Space Agency4. NASA Mars Exploration5. Space.com### Follow & ContactX/Twitter: @AstroDailyPodInstagram: @astrodailypodEmail: hello@astronomydaily.ioWebsite: astronomydaily.ioClear skies and see you tomorrow!

At the cusp of the 20th century, it seemed like contact with another world was just a matter of time. In fact, the French Academy of Sciences announced a prize for such a feat 125 years ago today. The winner would receive 100,000 francs. There was only one catch: Mars didn’t count. The prize was established by Clara Guzman in honor of her son. He was a follower of astronomer Camille Flammarion, who wrote extensively – and fancifully – about the Red Planet. Guzman excluded Mars from the competition because it seemed just too easy. Percival Lowell had popularized the idea that Mars was crisscrossed by canals – built by Martians to bring water from the poles to the planet’s deserts. Inventor Nicola Tesla had reported hearing possible radio signals from Mars. And many others thought that vast dark areas on Mars were covered with vegetation. Many schemes were proposed to contact the Martians. One suggested creating giant geometric shapes in Siberia. Another suggested digging the shapes into the Sahara Desert, filling them with kerosene, and setting them on fire. None of the schemes ever materialized. And no one ever claimed the prize for contacting another world. So the French academy decided to award the prize for making physical contact. In 1969, it awarded the Guzman Prize to Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins – the first men to set foot on another world. Script by Damond Benningfield

NASA’s twin ESCAPADE spacecraft have finally launched on their journey to Mars. Designed to study how the solar wind interacts with Mars’ patchy magnetic fields and drives the loss of its atmosphere, ESCAPADE is NASA’s first dual-spacecraft mission to the Red Planet and a major milestone for the SIMPLEx program’s small, low-cost planetary explorers. The mission began its voyage aboard Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket after several weather and space weather delays, marking the vehicle’s first science launch. We begin with Ari Koeppel, AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow and Space Policy Intern at The Planetary Society, who was at Cape Canaveral for the prelaunch activities. Ari shares what it was like to navigate repeated scrubs and even a powerful solar storm, along with the emotional experience of watching a spacecraft carrying an instrument he helped build begin its voyage to Mars. Next, we are joined by Dr. Rob Lillis, ESCAPADE’s Principal Investigator and Associate Director for Planetary Science at UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory. Rob explains how ESCAPADE aims to unravel Mars’ complex space environment using two coordinated orbiters, why its measurements are key to understanding atmospheric escape, and how its innovative trajectory made the mission possible after the loss of its original rideshare opportunity. Finally, Dr. Bruce Betts, Chief Scientist of The Planetary Society, returns for What’s Up to talk about why Mars produces aurora even without a global magnetic dynamo.

In 1996, a controversial claim of fossilized life in a Martian meteorite ignited a golden age of Mars exploration. Nearly 30 years later, a potential biosignature detected by the Perseverance rover at Jezero Crater has sparked…nothing, not even a formal effort to revive the beleaguered robotic Mars Sample Return project. Why did the claims surrounding the Allan Hills meteorite (which were ultimately rejected) kick off 25 years of unprecedented robotic exploration of the Red Planet? And why did the discovery at Cheyava Falls fail to ignite the same level of interest? Lou Friedman, former Executive Director of The Planetary Society and longtime proponent of Mars Sample Return, joins the show to contrast these to tipping points of Mars exploration, and argues why space scientists should seize this discovery to push for a scientific future at the Red Planet.

Mars isn't just a modern-day obsession, because we earthlings were nuts for the Red Planet more than a century ago. David Baron's new book tells the story.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore a trio of intriguing astronomical phenomena that are reshaping our understanding of the cosmos.Interstellar Comet 3I Atlas: A Close EncounterInterstellar comet 3I Atlas has reached its perihelion, passing closest to the Sun without any signs of alien life forms, despite wild media speculation. This episode discusses how the comet maintained its expected trajectory and velocity, while also revealing groundbreaking findings from NASA's Swift Space Telescope, which detected ultraviolet signatures of water from the comet, providing new insights into the chemistry of interstellar objects and their potential to harbour the building blocks of life.A Colossal Gas Bridge Between Dwarf GalaxiesAstronomers have discovered a massive bridge of neutral hydrogen gas linking two dwarf galaxies, NGC 4532 and DDO 137, located approximately 53 million light years away. This remarkable structure spans an astonishing 185,000 light years and is accompanied by a vast tail of gas extending 1 million light years. The findings shed light on how galaxies interact and evolve, particularly in dense environments like the Virgo Cluster, and offer crucial insights into the dynamics of galactic gas and star formation.Volcanic Eruptions and Hidden Ice on MarsA new study suggests that explosive volcanic eruptions on ancient Mars may have transported water ice to the equatorial regions of the Red Planet. Using computer modelling, researchers propose that water vapour released during these eruptions could have frozen in the Martian atmosphere, leading to the accumulation of significant ice deposits. This discovery could have profound implications for future human exploration of Mars, as it raises questions about the availability of water resources in unexpected locations.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205Nature Communicationshttps://www.nature.com/naturecommunications/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Interstellar Comet 3I Atlas: A Close EncounterA Colossal Gas Bridge Between Dwarf GalaxiesVolcanic Eruptions and Hidden Ice on Mars

Episode 329 America's health data system is in crisis. The US government has been bleeding public health experts – many of whom run crucial public health surveys and databases which help identify, monitor and respond to health threats across the country. From drug use to food security and birth data, discover the 5 surveys most critically hit by the axing of over 20,000 jobs. If nothing is done to address this, vital health information will be missed and the results could be catastrophic. Do you find it difficult to concentrate after a bad night's sleep? This might be really common, but scientists are still trying to figure out why it happens. A new finding suggests it might have something to do with the brain's “rinse cycle” – a process where your brain washes away metabolic waste and toxic proteins. Although this usually happens while you sleep, researchers have discovered it may continue in the day if you're sleep deprived. Life might exist on Mars right now, thanks to a network of liquid water on the Red Planet. Researchers examining Mars' soil say there's a good chance tiny veins of liquid water are hiding under the Martian permafrost and that they could support microbial life. This finding has scientists excited, with one suggesting “it's not impossible that life could exist in the Martian near surface.” Chapters: (00:00) Intro (01:00) The collapse of America's health data system (08:00) How sleep affects your focus (16:40) Best place to search for life on Mars Hosted by Penny Sarchet and Timothy Revell, with guests Grace Wade, Carissa Wong and Leah Crane.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking discoveries that reshape our understanding of Mars, the Moon, and the Milky Way Galaxy.Ancient Oceans on Mars: Geological Evidence RevealedA new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters presents compelling geological evidence that Mars' Northern Hemisphere was once home to a vast ocean. Lead author Chris from the University of Arkansas discusses how comparisons between river rocks on Earth and Martian sediment reveal ancient river deltas and backwater zones, suggesting that liquid water flowed on the Red Planet, increasing the possibility of past life. This episode delves into the processes of sedimentation and erosion that shaped Mars' landscape, providing insights into its watery past.The Moon's South Pole-Aitken Basin: Unveiling Impact MysteriesA fresh analysis of the Moon's largest impact crater, the South Pole-Aitken Basin, sheds light on its formation and the Moon's geological history. Researchers have discovered that this massive crater's shape indicates an impact from the north, challenging previous assumptions. As the Artemis missions prepare to land near this basin, they will have the opportunity to study material excavated from the lunar interior, potentially unlocking secrets about the Moon's evolution and the asymmetries in its crust.Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope: Mapping the Milky WayNASA's upcoming Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope is set to revolutionise our understanding of the Milky Way's interstellar medium. This mission will map around 20 billion stars, using infrared light to penetrate the dust clouds obscuring our view.

Long before Orson Welles provoked a panic with his 1938 radio broadcast of a Martian invasion in War of the Worlds, we were fascinated with the possibility of life on the Red Planet. We may be a step closer to finding it after the Perseverance rover turned up tantalizing evidence of possible ancient life in the form of mineral deposits in a Martian rock. But to be sure, we need to test that rock sample in a lab here on Earth, and the NASA Mars Sample Return Mission has been suspended. Still, our passion for our favorite inhabited world has not diminished. From the latest possible biosignature, to the supposed canals on Mars, to how the early 20th century Martian craze influenced vaudeville, we consider the many ways we are Mad About Mars. Guests: Janice Bishop – Senior research scientist at the SETI Institute. Adam Frank – Astrophysicist at the University of Rochester David Baron – Author of “The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn of the Century America” Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake You can get early access to ad-free versions of every episode by joining us on Patreon.

Billions of years ago, Mars may have looked less like the barren red desert we know today and more like Earth—with a blue sky, flowing rivers, and even seas. What happened to turn a once-habitable world into the frozen, lifeless planet we see now?On this episode of Big Brains, University of Chicago geophysical scientist Edwin Kite takes us on a journey through Mars' hidden past. From evidence of a lost carbon cycle to theories about ancient climate swings, Kite's research is rewriting the story of the Red Planet. But it's not just about the past—his work is also at the forefront of a provocative question: could humanity one day terraform Mars and make it a living world again?
