The veil between life and death is thin in late October, and not just on Earth. This week on Star Trails, we take a haunting journey through The Cosmic Graveyard, a place where dead suns still glow, galaxies devour one another, and the faint aftershocks of ancient explosions echo across time. From the slow cooling of white dwarfs to the bottomless depths of black holes, we explore the universe’s quietest afterlife.But before venturing into that darkness, the night sky itself offers reason to stay up

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

After NASA's recent milestone of over 6000 exoplanets tracked, Dean Regas has one big question. Is anyone living on them? On this episode, Dean chats with Dr. Malena Rice, a planetary astrophysicist and assistant professor in the Yale Department of Astronomy, to find out.

Listeners, in an extraordinary week for Mars exploration, several major stories are making headlines. NASA’s Perseverance rover has once again captivated scientists, as it may have captured an image of the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas streaking across the Martian sky on October 4th, 2025. This thin, elongated streak was recorded by Perseverance’s right navigation camera exactly during the comet’s predicted closest approach—just 30 million kilometers from Mars. While NASA is still working to confirm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWfkW2y-hAQ From Oct 15, 2019. Even as the first rockets were launched into space decades ago, aerospace knew it was a wasteful process. Rocket stages, motors, and complex equipment crashed into the ocean or burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Could spaceplanes bring the costs down? Flying to orbit with a combination of jet engines and rockets and then safely re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere again.   Single-stage to orbit spacecraft and spaceplanes have always seemed

This is your Astronomy Tonight podcast.On October 15th, 1997, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft embarked on its epic journey to Saturn, launching from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. This ambitious mission, a joint effort between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency, would go on to revolutionize our understanding of the ringed planet and its moons.Imagine the excitement and anticipation as the Titan IVB/Centaur rocket ignited, carrying the 5,712-kilogram behemoth

The Lagrange point L4 is 60° ahead of Mars whereas L5 is 60° behind Mars on the red planet’s orbital path about the Sun. An object placed at either of these locations is trapped gravitationally and is likely to remain there indefinitely. The Mars L4 and L5 locations could provide a permanent place for staging and resupply missions to Mars and would give humans a different view of space weather and its effects on our home planet.

Primordial Earth Discovery: Researchers have identified what may be the first physical traces of primordial Earth, dating back over 4.5 billion years, suggesting fragments of the planet's original materials still exist deep within the mantle. This groundbreaking study challenges previous assumptions about Earth's turbulent beginnings and the impact that formed the Moon.Dark Matter Interactions: New theoretical work proposes that dark matter might interact with normal matter through a subtle dark

「QPS研究所の小型SAR衛星「ヤチホコ-I」早ければ11月6日に打ち上げへ」　日本企業の株式会社QPS研究所は2025年10月21日、同社の小型SAR（合成開口レーダー）衛星「QPS-SAR 14号機」、愛称「ヤチホコ-I」の打ち上げ予定日時を発表しました。同社によると、ヤチホコ-Iは日本時間2025年11月6日4時45分以降に、アメリカ企業Rocket Lab（ロケットラボ）の「Electron（エレクトロン）」ロケットで打ち上げられる予定です。Rocket LabがQPS研究所の人工衛星を打ち上げるのは、ヤチホコ-Iで6回目となります。直近では、2025年8月に「QPS-SAR 12号機」、愛称「クシナダ-I」の打ち上げに成功しています。

In this episode, we uncover new research from Okayama University that sheds light on the delayed Great Oxidation Event.Scientists found that early ocean levels of nickel and urea controlled the growth of oxygen-producing cyanobacteria—sometimes fueling them, sometimes holding them back. When these elements declined, Earth’s atmosphere finally filled with oxygen, reshaping the planet and offering clues for spotting life on other worlds.

Na pressa de realizar uma panspermia desesperada, ou seja, espalhar a vida para outros lugares do universo por causa de um risco de extinção iminente, seja por guerra global, colapso ambiental, problemas biológicos internos ou ameaças cósmicas como radiação intensa ou impactos de asteroides, uma civilização pode lançar milhares de cápsulas de colonização. Isso aumenta muito as chances de sobrevivência da sua vida e tecnologia.Para nós, a consequência mais importante é que esses objetos podem já

In this episode, we explore one of the most infamous poltergeist cases in North America: the so-called Great Amherst Mystery, which occurred in Amherst, Nova Scotia in 1878-79. Centering on 18-year-old Esther Cox, her sister’s household and the investigator Walter Hubbell, we walk through the bewildering phenomena of objects flying, knocks on the wall, unexplained fires, swelling seizures, and the question: was this supernatural, psychological or a hoax?We trace the narrative from its traumatic
