This episode touches briefly on evidence that shows why the moon landing was a hoax, and offers a couple reasons as to why.

Fashion designer, educator, and innovator Mossi Traoré takes the spotlight as our showstopper guest in the grand finale of Ashoka University’s The Science of It podcast.What made a boy from the suburbs of Paris dream of conquering the world of fashion? How did he convince Chanel and L’Oréal to collaborate with him so early in his journey? How does he transform milk, sand, and rubber into sustainable fabrics? And what was it like dressing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and which Bollywood icons does he hope

The spiral galaxy NGC 3718 has an unusually weird spiral shape, which belies its unusual history.

Did you know that our galaxy contains natural alcohol — not in bottles, but in vast clouds of gas and dust between the stars? In this episode, Karolina speaks with Dr. Beatrice Kulterer, an astrochemist who studies how these complex molecules form and what they reveal about the chemistry of life in the cosmos.It’s a conversation about curiosity, the invisible connections between space and life, and how something as simple as alcohol can tell the story of our galaxy.

Saturn and Venus bracket the pre-dawn sky now. As Saturn drops from view in the west, Venus nudges into view in the east. Saturn looks like a bright star, while Venus is the brilliant morning star. The planets are both sliding eastward against the background of distant stars. Saturn lined up opposite the Sun a couple of weeks ago. For a few months around that point, the planet looks like it’s “backing up” against the background of stars – a result of the relative motions of

In this episode of the Space Madness podcast, host Jeff Nosanov speaks with Matt Bille, a seasoned professional in the space industry. Matt shares his journey from witnessing the Apollo 11 launch as a child -from an airplane!- to his military career in the Air Force, and later his extensive work in the private sector, including collaborations with NASA. He discusses his passion for writing, particularly in science fiction and space-related topics, and reflects on the evolution of microsatellites and

Astronomers have tracked the Spirograph Nebula’s evolution over 130 years, from 19th-century spectroscopy to Hubble’s sharp images.The central star has heated up by 3,000°C—faster than most stars but slower than theory predicts. This surprising pace, along with its lower-than-expected mass, could reshape models of how stars create and spread cosmic carbon.

New Method for Detecting Gravitational Waves: Physicists are proposing a groundbreaking approach to detect mid-band gravitational waves, a frequency range currently unreachable by existing instruments. Utilizing optical resonator technology, this novel method could expand our understanding of systems like binary white dwarfs and massive black hole mergers, paving the way for a potential global network of detectors.Reevaluating Exoplanet Water Content: Recent research challenges the assumption that

Join us as we discuss the groundbreaking discovery by the LHAASO Collaboration of a vast and unique ultra-high-energy (UHE) $\gamma$-ray source. This mysterious object, nicknamed the **"Peanut"** for its distinctive asymmetric shape, spans approximately $0.45^\circ \times 4.6^\circ$ and is located far off the Galactic plane, at a high Galactic latitude ($b \approx -17.5^\circ$), a region where UHE $\gamma$-ray sources are typically sparse.**Key Takeaways:*** **Extreme Energies Detected:**

In this episode, Payel and Nicole discuss what happens to the metallicity gradient of a satellite galaxy after it merges with its host, the existence of intermediate-age RR lyrae and radio rings, the possibility of determining the history of the inner Milky Way from radially migrated stars, and the possibility of finding more Einstein rings using a new approach that utilises both spectra and images. From order to chaos: the blurred out metallicity gradient of the Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage progenitor -

In this episode of SpaceTime , we uncover the latest revelations in astrophysics, including the intriguing prospect of supermassive dark stars, Australia's ambitious lunar rover mission, and fresh insights into the formation of our solar system. Supermassive Dark Stars: A New Cosmic Discovery Astronomers have identified potential candidates for a new type of star in the early universe, known as supermassive dark stars. Recent observations from the Webb Space Telescope suggest that these stars,

Estimating Stars in the Milky Way: Astronomers estimate that our galaxy contains around 100 billion stars, a number that evolves as observational techniques improve. By studying luminosity and mass, scientists refine these estimates, revealing the complexities of counting stars from within our own galaxy. Asteroid Rotation Dynamics: New research uncovers why some asteroids spin smoothly while others tumble chaotically. The study highlights the impact of collisions and internal friction,

From September 17, 2025. In this week’s episode, we tell the story of a Giant Blue Star that made the terrible, terrible mistake of trying to nibble on its more evolved sibling; it’s black hole of a sibling. Folks, don’t eat the dark holes in spacetime. We also look at this week’s news, including lumpy planets, forming planets, asteroids getting up close and personal, and how Leopard spots are in style for life hunting Mars Scientists. We also have tales from the launch pad.   We've added a new way

Wayback Machine This week Mike and Jay discuss a new study about the early, warmer-than-expected universe, which leads to a deep dive into the properties of cosmic microwave background radiation and listening to the Big Bang. Also, a launch of Kuiper satellites, and an update on space weather and the night sky. Episode Links: The […]

This is your Astronomy Tonight podcast.On this day, October 3rd, in 1962, the world of astronomy was forever changed when the first successful interplanetary probe, Mariner 2, was launched by NASA. This intrepid spacecraft embarked on a mission that would revolutionize our understanding of our celestial neighbors and pave the way for future space exploration.Mariner 2, a modest 204-kilogram probe, set off on its historic journey to Venus, our mysterious sister planet. As it soared through the inky
