Saturn's smoggy moon with methane lakes and organic chemistry, Earth's bizarre twin.

To reach the vicinity of the nearest star, 24 trillion miles away, in less than 20 years, an interstellar space probe would have to travel at a substantial fraction of the speed of light. Newton's laws of motion, published 300 years ago, predict that the greater the mass of an object the greater is the force required to increase it's velocity. In order to alleviate the need for the virtually unaffordable amount of energy required to accelerate a normal sized spacecraft to a speed of 20% of the speed

SpaceX's Starship Flight 11: NASA spaceflight has reported that SpaceX is gearing up for Starship Flight 11, marking the final launch from Pad 1A in its current configuration. This mission will transition SpaceX to the advanced Block 3 designs, utilizing booster 152 and ship 38 to test engine redundancy and heat shield performance.Terraforming Mars Feasibility: A recent workshop summary suggests that advancements in launch costs, synthetic biology, and climate modeling have made the dream of

Welcome to Cosmic Oddities, the podcast that delves into the wonderfully weird and utterly bizarre side of the universe. Forget dry textbooks and stuffy lectures; we're taking you on a wild ride to diamond planets, zombie stars, and cosmic jellyfish. Join us as we uncover the strangest facts about space, one hilarious and mind-boggling discovery at a time. If you've ever looked up at the night sky and thought, "I wonder what weird stuff is up there," then this is the podcast for you.Hashtags:

Multidisciplinary biologist and bee expert Sarah Aamidor returns for part two - or should we say Part Bee - of her deep dive conversation with Kovi and Benjamin about some of the weirdest things bees do. Yes, in order to conduct her studies on bees she had to kill a few bees - but she didn't kill nearly as many bees as bees kill. Nor did she torture any bees - unlike bees who regularly torture bees. And she definitely didn't rip off many bees'... um... bits and pieces... The point is the queen bee

Jared Isaacman could actually head NASA after being dropped from consideration. SpaceX successfully launched the final Version 2 Starship Super Heavy this week. A NASA payload unintentionally landed on a West Texas ranch. Aurora could be coming to the US tonight!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/made-of-stars--4746260/support.

Revolutionary Travel to Uranus: SpaceX's Starship could potentially cut travel time to Uranus in half for future missions. With innovative in-orbit refueling techniques and aerobraking strategies, researchers suggest a journey could take just 6.5 years, a significant improvement over traditional methods that could take over 13 years. Black Hole Devours Star: Astronomers have observed a gamma-ray burst, GRB 250702B, which may be a black hole consuming a star from within. This event, detected by

Astronomers have long predicted that the cloud forming chemical should be found in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs and gas giants. Silane had eluded detection until now. In this podcast, Dr. Aaron Meisner recounts how silane was discovered in the atmosphere of a brown dwarf nicknamed “The Accident”. The Accident (WISEA J153429.75-104303.3) was discovered by citizen scientist Dan Caselden, who was using an online program he built to find brown dwarfs in NEOWISE data.   Bios:  Rob Sparks is in the

The universe is hard enough to figure out without one kind of object dressing up as another, but - just in time for Halloween - researchers have figured out that the Little Red Dot in the early universe just might be massive black holes surrounded in a costume of glowing red gas. Also in this episode, Hyabusa2's amusingly tiny destination, a white dwarf star eating what may be an icy dwarf planet, and tales from the launch pad.

This is your Astronomy Tonight podcast.On this day, October 11th, in the year 1846, a groundbreaking discovery shook the astronomical world to its core. William Lassell, a beer brewer turned astronomer, pointed his homemade 24-inch reflector telescope towards the newly discovered planet Neptune and spotted something extraordinary - a moon!This wasn't just any moon, folks. This was Triton, Neptune's largest satellite and one of the most fascinating objects in our solar system. Imagine Lassell's

If you’d like to thank your lucky stars for a bit of good fortune, we have two stars for you to look at. They’re the brightest stars of Aquarius. Both of them have names that mean “lucky.”The brighter of the two is Sadalsuud. The name comes from an Arabic phrase that means something along the lines of “luckiest of the lucky.” When the name was bestowed, the star first appeared in the dawn sky around the spring equinox. The days were getting longer and warmer, and

In this episode of the Space Madness podcast, Jeff Nosanov interviews architect Anthony Longman, who discusses his innovative ideas for expandable rotating habitats in space. Anthony shares his journey from the UK to the US, traditional architecture to space architecture, and the importance of ecological design and the influence of nature on his work. He explains the concept of tensegrity structures and their potential applications in space, as well as the challenges of developing sustainable and

A new study from the University of Ottawa is shaking up our understanding of the universe. Professor Rajendra Gupta suggests that dark matter and dark energy might not exist at all — instead, the forces of nature themselves are slowly weakening as the universe expands.This idea could explain cosmic mysteries — like why galaxies spin so fast or why the universe is expanding so rapidly — without invoking any unknown particles. Published in Galaxies, the research even suggests the universe may be

Join us as we discuss the latest results from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, utilizing 13.1 years of data, that further link high-energy neutrinos to powerful cosmic sources.### Episode Highlights* **The Extragalactic Neutrino Puzzle:** The IceCube Neutrino Observatory consistently detects a diffuse flux of high-energy cosmic neutrinos, the majority of which are extragalactic in origin. These neutrinos are expected to be produced in hadronic interactions, which also generate gamma rays.*

World Space Week is a global celebration of all things space, bringing together thousands of participants from all over the planet to celebrate our future in space. Chartered by the United Nations in 1999, this year's theme is "Living in Space." The many associated events from across the world are a reminder to all of the importance of space in our lives and our future, and a clarion call to international youth of the value of their future involvement. We spoke with the WSW Association's executive

A Nontechnical talk by Dr. Steven Kahn (University of California, Berkeley) Oct. 8, 2025 The amazing Vera Rubin Observatory is a unique astronomy facility just built in Chile, with the largest digital camera in the world, designed to provide a time-lapse “movie” of the entire sky from the Earth’s southern hemisphere. Over its planned ten years of operation, the Rubin Observatory will obtain nearly 1,000 images of every part of that sky. By comparing the various images, we will be ...
