The latest mission to the innermost planet in the solar system hit a milestone last week. After an eight year journey, BepiColombo finally separated from its propulsion stage to set itself up for an orbital insertion to Mercury.    Taking place on September 3rd, the separation, which is part of a much longer series of

The result of absolute gravitational collapse of a massive body: a point of hypothetical infinite density surrounded by an event horizon. At that horizon time is frozen and the fabric of space itself cascades inwards at the speed of light. Nothing

In a Harvard Observatory basement in 1908, a woman earning 30 cents an hour discovered the key to measuring the entire universe. Henrietta Leavitt's discovery of the period-luminosity relationship transformed dim points of light on glass plates into cosmic yardsticks, ultimately revealing that our galaxy was just one of billions and giving us the tools to measure distances across the observable universe.

Computer simulations show that massive collisions can reshape icy moons without necessarily destroying their hidden oceans.Larger moons may even retain enough heat to thicken their subsurface oceans, while smaller moons could lose insulation and cool down. The findings could help guide future searches for extraterrestrial life.Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.

Scientists are searching for clues that the universe may be finite and globally connected rather than infinite.By analyzing the cosmic microwave background and galaxy patterns, the COMPACT collaboration is looking for repeating structures that could reveal whether traveling far enough through space might eventually bring you back to where you started.Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.

This week it's Rod and Tariq working through the most important space headlines. The big story: Starship could launch test flight 14 as early as Monday the 28th. We've seen lots of tests, but this is the first attempt at an orbital flight, the success of which is necessary for the lunar landing system and eventual retirement of the Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon. Also: Vast starts up a lunar division, Isaacman's relief over delays to China's lunar program, concerns over announced discontinuation of
