In this Astrum episode, we're examining UFO (or UAP) sightings. How do we separate fact from fiction when it comes to UFOs? Do scientists really think alien life is out there, and could it have already visited our planet? We're combing through the evidence, and investigating what exactly the government is hiding from the public.▀▀▀▀▀▀Astrum's newsletter has launched! Want to know what's happening in space?

This is your Astronomy Tonight podcast.On this day, October 21st, in the year 2012, astronomers witnessed a cosmic spectacle that left them both thrilled and perplexed. The Orionid meteor shower, an annual event caused by debris from Halley's Comet, put on an unexpectedly dazzling display that defied predictions.Typically, the Orionids produce about 20 to 25 meteors per hour at their peak. However, on this particular night, observers reported seeing up to 70 meteors per hour, with some areas

Blue Dot marks three years of operation of the magnificent James Webb Space Telescope. NASA Webb Project Manager Mike Davis joins host Dave Schlom for an overview of the telescope's operation and unique capabilities that have surpassed the expectations of the astronomical community.

Europe's Space Shield Initiative: The European Union is set to launch its ambitious European Space Shield initiative in Q2 2026, part of a broader Defense Readiness Roadmap 2030. With a budget of €800 billion, this initiative aims to protect vital space assets from threats like jamming and spoofing, marking a significant step in Europe's defense capabilities.NASA vs. SpaceX Drama: Tensions escalate as NASA's acting administrator, Sean Duffy, blames SpaceX's Starship delays for postponing the Artemis

A star in the constellation Cetus brightens and fades dramatically every 11 months. At its brightest, it’s fairly easy to see. At its faintest, it’s visible only through a telescope. Because of that change, a 17th-century astronomer called the star Mira – from the Latin word for “wonderful.” The star changes because it pulses in and out like a beating heart. Mira’s in the final stages of its red-giant phase of life. Its core is no longer producing nuclear

In this bonus Halloween special episode of The Big Questions, IFLScience takes on the “mystery” of the Loch Ness Monster.Although it’s been nearly 100 years since Nessie was first brought to international attention, no one has provided any unambiguous proof of its existence, and yet every year, thousands of people flock to Scotland in hopes of seeing it. To find out what’s going on, we dispatched our IFLScience Investigates team – a motley bunch of intrepid sleuths – to dig into the story’s

In September 2004, London was gripped by a wave of seemingly random violence that left four people dead and two others severely injured. The attacker, 24-year-old Daniel Gonzalez, moved through the city like a horror-film villain come to life, mask on, knives drawn, and an obsession with becoming a "famous serial killer." Diagnosed with schizophrenia years earlier, Gonzalez had cycled through psychiatric care and warning signs that went unheeded until it was too late. In this episode, we trace the

Astronomy Cast Ep. 768: Comets' Unpredictability By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay Streamed live on Oct 13, 2025. So it’s been decades since we’ve seen a bright comet in the sky. And actually there was a pair — Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake. And then, silence! And unmet promises by the Universe to give us a bright comet. Comets are unpredictable, and they arrive precisely when they intend to. Is it time again for a bright comet? If you asked us in January if 2025 was going to have any outstanding comets
