The impact – which occurred about 3.46 billion years ago -- is the second oldest dated collision in the planet’s history. Why galaxies stop making stars A new study has determined why galaxies

Hi...Stuart with the Show Notes for Series 19 Episode 48.   *A bounty of Brown Dwarfs and planets discovered deep in the Orion Nebula New technology allowing astronomers to peer deeper into the heart of the Orion Nebula than ever before, has revealed a massive population of previously unseen planets and brown dwarfs. The discovery shows that the Orion Nebula may be forming proportionally far more low-mass objects than closer and less active star formation regions. *Astronomers produce the most

Hi...Stuart with the Show Notes for Series 19 Episode 47 *Ancient supernovae affected life on Earth Two ancient supernovae which erupted within 300 light years of Earth likely exposed biology on our planet to a long-lasting cosmic radiation. The findings are based on new computer simulations of the impact the two exploding stars had on surrounding space. *Solving the mystery of the Martian moons Astronomers may have finally solved the mystery of how the two Martian moons -- Phobos and Deimos -- were

Hi .... Stuart with the Show Notes for Series 19 Episode 46: *First evidence explaining how supermassive black holes are formed Astronomers have discovered evidence for an unusual kind of black hole which would have been born in the very early universe and could have been the seeds for today’s supermassive black holes. While astronomers have a good handle on how stellar mass black holes are formed – mystery has always surrounded their larger counterparts -- the supermassive black holes found at the

Hi, Stuart with the Show Notes for Series 19 Episode 45... *Citizen scientists discover a massive galaxy cluster Two volunteer participants in an international citizen science project have discovered a rare galaxy cluster which has now been named in their honour. The pair pieced together the huge C-shaped structure -- located some 1.2 billion light years away -- from much smaller images of cosmic radio waves shown to them as part of the web-based Radio Galaxy Zoo project. *New Type of Meteorite
