Listeners, the past week has brought some significant updates and discoveries in the world of Mars exploration. ESA’s long-standing orbiters at Mars—Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter—were recently redirected from their usual planetary observations to study the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS. Around October 3rd, these orbiters used their advanced imaging and spectrometer instruments to capture vital data on the comet’s activity as it passed just 30 million kilometers from Mars, an event that

Those tricky next steps. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Could war get us into space? There’s been a long-running dialogue here at Cheap Astronomy about what economic drivers might transform us into a proper spacefaring species with Moon bases, Mars bases and all that. And well, its been hard to think what economic drivers really might work. Space is hard and it’s also darned expensive. Tourism could be a driver, after all there has been a bit of millionaire tourism happening, mostly just flights above the

This is your Astronomy Tonight podcast.On this day, October 22nd, in 1966, the Soviet Union achieved a remarkable feat in space exploration with the launch of Luna 12. This unmanned spacecraft was part of the Soviet Luna program, aimed at exploring and photographing the Moon. Luna 12 was designed to be a lunar orbiter, and it successfully entered lunar orbit on October 25th, 1966, just three days after its launch.What makes Luna 12 particularly fascinating is its groundbreaking photography mission

Obtaining accurate data on the Earth’s climate and how it is changing is vital to inform agriculture , insurance risks, business planning, disaster preparedness, financial investments, wild fire mitigation, and national security. The USA should not be flying blind and relying on Europe and China for the data we need.

Life's Building Blocks in Cosmic Ice: A groundbreaking discovery from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals complex organic molecules like acetic acid and ethanol frozen in cosmic ice in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This finding suggests that the ingredients for life can form in harsher environments and earlier than previously thought, providing new insights into the origins of life.Neutrino Mysteries: Major collaborations between the Nova experiment in the US and T2K in Japan are aiming to unravel

We got our first picture from the surface of another planet 50 years ago today, when the Soviet Union’s Venera 9 landed on Venus. It transmitted data from the surface for 53 minutes, including a wide panorama. Venus is completely covered by thick clouds, so we can’t see its surface from Earth, or even from orbit around Venus – orbiters use radar to peer through the clouds. Venus also has a hot, dense atmosphere, so landing there is tough. Venera 9 parachuted through the clouds,

MIT scientists have found the first direct evidence of material from the original “proto-Earth” — the planet that existed before the giant impact that formed our world 4.5 billion years ago.By detecting an unusual potassium-40 isotope imbalance in ancient rocks from Greenland and Hawaii, researchers revealed remnants of Earth’s earliest building blocks — material that even meteorites don’t fully capture.

Host Martin Willis sits down with Mitch Randall, developer of the SkyWatch Passive Radar UFO Detector and Research Team member of Harvard’s Galileo Project. The SkyWatch system is designed to definitively answer one of humanity’s biggest questions: Are we alone? Unlike conventional approaches, SkyWatch is a decentralized network of citizen-deployed radar receivers working together to create a real-time nationwide map of UFO flight patterns. Mitch has already developed and deployed a proof-of-concept
