This is your Astronomy Tonight podcast.On October 26th, 1977, something truly extraordinary happened in the field of astronomy. It was on this day that the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, or FUSE, was born... well, sort of. NASA officially approved the concept for this groundbreaking space telescope, setting in motion a project that would revolutionize our understanding of the universe.Now, you might be thinking, "Another space telescope? What's the big deal?" Well, let me tell you, FUSE was

Finding a meteorite that has traveled billions of miles through space to reach it's present location is exciting. It might even be worth real money.

In the past week, listeners across the United States have been closely watching several high-impact weather events, but no recent reports from the National Weather Service or major meteorological networks have described a confirmed derecho—a widespread, long-lived, and destructive windstorm associated with a line of rapidly moving thunderstorms—impacting the country within the last seven days. Instead, much of the significant weather attention has been focused on Hurricane Melissa, which has

On October 28th in Science History, one significant event took place in 1971 when the United Kingdom launched the satellite Prospero into orbit. This marked the first and only time a British satellite was launched using a British rocket, making it a milestone in the country's space exploration efforts.The Prospero satellite, also known as X-3, was designed and built by the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough, England. Its primary mission was to test the performance of a new type of

Dr Tom Russ narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.In this guest blog, Tom traces his path into clinical research, crediting the people who guided, inspired, and challenged him along the way. From his early days in psychiatry to leading national dementia research initiatives, he explores the lessons learned from mentors like Professor John Starr and others who shaped his academic and clinical outlook. The piece underscores the importance of supportive working cultures, mentorship, and

Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

Welcome to Quiet Please. Today we’re explaining Bird Flu: H5N1 Risks & Prevention. Let’s get started.H5N1, or highly pathogenic avian influenza, is a virus that mostly infects birds, but recent outbreaks have shown it can cross into mammals, including humans and cattle. According to the CDC, most human cases have resulted from close contact with infected birds or contaminated environments, and as of mid-2025, cases have mostly been mild, but the virus has characteristics that could allow for

Welcome to Bird Flu Risk: Avian Flu and You, Explained. Let's cut through the noise and figure out your personal risk level.First, the big picture. The CDC assesses the overall public health risk from H5N1 as low for most Americans. But your individual risk depends entirely on your circumstances.Let's start with occupation. According to the CDC, poultry workers and dairy workers face the highest exposure risk. If you work directly with birds or cattle, especially on farms where H5N1 has been

H5N1 GLOBAL SCAN: AVIAN FLU WORLDWIDEWelcome to H5N1 Global Scan, your weekly update on avian influenza developments around the world.The H5N1 avian influenza outbreak continues to spread across continents with alarming momentum. As of October 2025, the Pan American Health Organization reports that 19 countries in the Americas alone have documented over 5,000 outbreaks since 2022. Globally, the situation remains critical with cases reported on every continent except Australia.In North America, the

Welcome to Bird Flu Intel: Facts, Not Fear, on H5N1, a Quiet Please production. Today we’re filtering the headlines to give you clear, evidence-based information to combat the surge of H5N1 bird flu misinformation.Let’s jump right into some of the most common myths circulating today.First: H5N1 bird flu is spreading widely between people.

Welcome to "Avian Flu 101: Your H5N1 Bird Flu Guide." Let's break down the basics of avian flu and its subtype, H5N1.**Basic Virology**: Influenza A viruses, including H5N1, are part of a group that can cause the common flu. H5N1 is highly pathogenic, meaning it can quickly infect and kill poultry. It primarily affects birds but can occasionally jump to mammals, including humans, through close contact with infected animals or environments.**Historical Context**: H5N1 was first identified in 1996 and

This is your Astronomy Tonight podcast.On this day, October 25th, in the year 1671, a groundbreaking astronomical observation took place that would forever change our understanding of Saturn's mysterious rings. The brilliant Italian-French astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini, peering through his telescope at the Paris Observatory, discovered a dark gap in Saturn's rings. This gap, later named the Cassini Division in his honor, is a 4,800-kilometer-wide region between Saturn's A and B rings.Imagine
