Join Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson as they explore the latest cosmic revelations. From unexpected microbial contamination of Richie asteroid samples to a groundbreaking theory on the formation of Mars's moons, and the first results from a new instrument on the William Herschel Telescope, this episode is packed with stellar insights and astronomical wonders.
Episode Highlights:
- Richie Asteroid Contamination: Delve into the challenges of keeping extraterrestrial samples free from Earth's microbes. Despite stringent sterilisation efforts, Richie samples returned by Hayabusa2 show signs of terrestrial contamination, raising questions about planetary protection protocols.
- Martian Moons' New Origin Theory: Discover a fresh perspective on how Phobos and Deimos may have formed. A new model suggests that these moons originated from debris of an asteroid that broke apart due to Mars's gravitational forces, offering an alternative to previous impact and capture theories.
- Galactic Collisions Unveiled: Explore the first findings from the WEAVE instrument on the William Herschel Telescope. By studying Stefan's Quintet, astronomers reveal the staggering speeds of shock waves from colliding galaxies, shedding light on cosmic interactions and future Milky Way-Andromeda collision scenarios.

Can these gravitational giants possess magnetic fields, and if so, how do they influence the spectacular jets seen emanating from quasars? The duo untangles the complex relationship between rotation, charge, and magnetism.
Next, Pete from sunny Sheffield queries the stellar classification mnemonic "Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me" and its implications. How do the proportions of these star types stack up in the Milky Way, and do these ratios hold true across other galaxies? The conversation illuminates the cosmic census of star types, from the rare, scorching O stars to the ubiquitous, cooler M dwarfs.
Listeners also get a personal touch as Michael from Kent inquires about Fred's most standout project over his illustrious career. Fred shares insights into his contributions to groundbreaking surveys and reminisces about the influential projects that have shaped our understanding of the universe.
Rounding off the episode, Rusty from Donnybrook seeks to understand why fogbows are white rather than exhibiting the vibrant hues of a typical rainbow. The answer lies in the intricate interplay of light refraction, dispersion, and the often-overlooked diffraction in tiny water droplets.
From the nature of magnetic fields in the abyss of black holes to the distribution of stars across the cosmos, this episode of Space Nuts is a treasure trove of astronomical knowledge. Tune in as Andrew and Fred navigate the celestial curiosities that keep us gazing skyward with wonder.

Prepare to traverse the Martian landscapes and cosmic frontiers in this intriguing episode of Space Nuts, where Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson uncover the secrets of the Red Planet and the tiniest worlds beyond our solar system. In this episode, we're dusting off the Martian surface to reveal new evidence that hints at the planet's potential past life. A recent study from Japan brings to light ancient atmospheric conditions that could have fostered the formation of life-essential molecules. Dive into the science of how formaldehyde, a chemical you wouldn't typically associate with life, may have been a critical ingredient in Mars' primordial soup.
Then, we shrink our focus to the smallest exoplanet ever discovered, Kepler 37b. Is it a planet, an asteroid, or something in between? This celestial object, roughly the size of our Moon, challenges our definitions and understanding of planetary bodies. The team discusses the criteria that separate planets from dwarf planets and the exciting prospect of future discoveries with the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
From Martian mysteries to minuscule exoplanets, this episode is a cosmic cocktail of astrophysical wonder and discovery. So, fasten your seatbelts, and let's embark on another Space Nuts adventure.

Join Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson as they navigate through a new constellation of cosmic queries in this episode of Space Nuts. In this interstellar Q&A session, we're launching straight into the terraforming terrain, pondering massive megastructures, and the cooling conundrum of Venus. Dan from California, or "Caladan," sparks a stellar discussion on whether a colossal solar panel at Venus's L1 point could reverse its runaway greenhouse effect.
Next, we're rocketing over to Dan in Brisbane, who's curious about the protostar L1527 and its captivating James Webb Space Telescope image. Our hosts explore the fate of material ejected during the formation of our solar system and the forces exerted by our sun's solar wind and photonic pressure. Could the remnants of our solar system's early cloud still linger in the cosmic winds?
Then, we're warping into the realms of science fiction with Star's question: Does scientific accuracy enhance the enjoyment of sci-fi, or is imagination the final frontier? Andrew shares his favorites, from the plausible "The Martian" to the fantastical "Dune," while Fred reflects on the genre's influence on his scientific path.
Lastly, young Ted from the UK, with some help from his father Joe, wonders why the moon is sometimes visible during the day and what that means for the other side of the Earth. Prepare for a lunar lesson that spans the globe!

Embark on a cosmic exploration with your favorite interstellar enthusiasts, Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson, in this latest episode of Space Nuts. Today's celestial journey takes us to Saturn's moon, Titan, where new research casts a shadow on the prospects of finding life in its sub-ice oceans. Despite the rich hydrocarbons on Titan's surface, the study by astrobiologist Catherine Neish suggests that the transfer of essential organic materials to the ocean below is far too slow to foster life as we know it. The implications of this finding could extend to other icy moons, potentially dampening hopes for habitability across our solar system.
Then, we pivot to Earthly matters as we join the United Nations' cosmic conversation. The UN has finally agreed to tackle the burgeoning issue of satellite constellations cluttering our orbit. With over 8,000 satellites circling our planet and plans for many more, astronomers are increasingly concerned about light pollution and radio interference. But can the UN's agenda lead to effective regulation, or will it be a case of too little, too late in the fast-paced space industry?
From the icy depths of Titan to the crowded skies of Earth, this episode of Space Nuts is a testament to the ever-evolving quest for knowledge and the challenges of preserving our cosmic frontiers. So, sit back, tune in, and let your imagination take flight as we unravel these astronomical enigmas.

Bending of Space due to Gravity
Gravitational influence on the bending of space is a central concept in Einstein's theory of relativity. It proposes that the force of gravity resulting from an object's mass distorts space around it. This remarkable insight about the interplay between gravity and spacetime allows us to understand extraordinary phenomena, such as the distortion of star positions during an eclipse. This theory immensely enriches our understanding of the universe and shapes our perception of space and time.

In this episode of Space Nuts, Andrew and Fred discuss the naming of Australia's moon rover, a gamma ray burst that affected Earth's atmosphere, and the discovery of a reappearing, disappearing galaxy. They also answer a listener's question about the Kardashev scale and the possibility of constructing a Dyson sphere. In this episode, Fred and Andrew discuss various topics related to astrophysics and space exploration. They speculate on the existence of advanced civilizations and megastructures, highlighting the vast technological advancements required for such feats. They also delve into the concept of tidal locking, explaining how planets and moons become tidally locked and the role of friction in this process. Lastly, they explore the challenges of measuring the speed of objects in space and the absence of an absolute frame of reference. Takeaways Australia's moon rover has been named 'Roover' through a public vote, highlighting the lack of imagination in the country. A gamma ray burst from a galaxy 2 billion light years away affected Earth's atmosphere, demonstrating the vulnerability of our planet. The discovery of a reappearing, disappearing galaxy suggests the existence of dusty galaxies that are not visible in optical wavelengths. The Kardashev scale is a measure of a civilization's energy usage, and the construction of a Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that can harness the energy of a star. The existence of advanced civilizations and megastructures is purely speculative and not supported by current astrophysical evidence. Tidal locking occurs when a planet or moon's rotation matches its orbital period, resulting in one side always facing the other. This process is influenced by gravitational forces and friction. Measuring the speed of objects in space is complex due to the absence of an absolute frame of reference. Speed is often calculated relative to other objects or reference points. The speed of light, approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, is a fundamental constant in physics and has been measured and predicted accurately.

A gamma ray burst from a galaxy 2 billion light years away affected Earth's atmosphere, demonstrating the vulnerability of our planet. The discovery of a reappearing, disappearing galaxy suggests the existence of dusty galaxies that are not visible in optical wavelengths. The Kardashev scale is a measure of a civilization's energy usage, and the construction of a Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that can harness the energy of a star. The existence of advanced civilizations and megastructures is purely speculative and not supported by current astrophysical evidence. Tidal locking occurs when a planet or moon's rotation matches its orbital period, resulting in one side always facing the other. This process is influenced by gravitational forces and friction. Measuring the speed of objects in space is complex due to the absence of an absolute frame of reference. Speed is often calculated relative to other objects or reference points. The speed of light, approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, is a fundamental constant in physics and has been measured and predicted accurately.

00:17:05 - "Introduction to the Star's Lifecycle"
The star in question is a yellow dwarf in its midlife phase, approximately 4.57 billion years old. It is currently in a steady hydrogen burning phase, similar to the Sun. This phase will continue for another 4 billion years before it transitions into a giant star.
00:19:32 - "Planets Orbiting the Star"
The star, Ro Corona Borealis, has four known planets orbiting it. These planets are closer to the star than Mercury is to the Sun. One of the planets, Ro Corona Borealis d, is potentially in the habitable zone and could support life.
00:21:35 - "Impact of Star Growth on Planets"
As the star grows into a red giant, the planets' fate is uncertain. Some may evaporate or be torn apart by the gravitational effects. Others may be thrown out of the system and become rogue planets. The exact outcomes depend on the planets' orbits and interactions with other planets.
00:25:04 - "Predictions for the Planets"
The prediction for the four known planets is that one will evaporate within the star's atmosphere, one will spiral in and be tidally disrupted, one will be destroyed at the end of a phase of evolution, and the fate of the fourth planet is uncertain. There could also be other undetected planets that may survive or be influenced by the star's growth.
00:35:32 - The Spectacular Event of the Andromeda Galaxy
The speaker discusses the possibility of the Andromeda galaxy getting closer to our galaxy. Although the event would be spectacular, it would happen on a timescale that wouldn't affect us humans.
00:36:27 - Collision of Galaxies
The collision between our galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy would result in a phenomenal sight, but it would be a slow process that wouldn't impact us directly. Simulations indicate that the two galaxies will pass through each other multiple times before settling into a new galaxy devoid of hydrogen.
00:37:33 - Black Hole Merger
In response to a listener's question, it is mentioned that the black holes in the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies would eventually merge due to their relative gravitational forces. This merging process is expected to happen during the collision of the two galaxies.
00:38:59 - Can Gravity Escape a Black Hole?
The question of whether gravity can escape a black hole is explored. Gravity is a force field associated with a theoretical particle called a graviton, but it has never been observed or confirmed. The escape of gravitons from a black hole remains uncertain.
00:41:23 - The Myth of Bagpipes on the Moon
The story of a mechanic named William Rudd playing bagpipes at the Tidbin Biller station during the Apollo program is shared. While it is unclear if the sound of the bagpipes was actually heard on the moon,

Dream Travel Destinations The universe offers an endless array of extraordinary destinations to explore, and the podcast hosts were asked to divulge their dream travel destinations within the solar system and beyond. Fascinating celestial bodies with unique environments can spark the imagination and inspire dreams of expanded cosmic exploration. Andrew Dunkley shared his desire to visit Mars as soon as possible, as well as venturing to the south pole of Enceladus. Professor Fred Watson, on the other hand, would want to travel back in time to experience Mars when it was warm, wet, and potentially teeming with life over 3.8 billion years ago. Watson also expressed interest in visiting Europa, where ice geysers and a potential subsurface ocean offer captivating prospects for exploration. Their contrasting and exciting answers invite listeners to ponder their own celestial dream destinations and emphasize the boundless intrigue that our universe holds. Relationship between Cosmic Radiation and Earthquakes In this fascinating segment, the correlation between secondary cosmic radiation and the intensity of earthquakes is explored. While the study from the Polish Academy of Sciences suggests that there is a connection between these two phenomena, it's essential to note that cosmic rays do not directly cause earthquakes. Instead, changes in the Earth's magnetic field due to disturbances in the planet's core allow more cosmic radiation to penetrate, which might enhance the effect of an earthquake. This incredible connection reveals how various elements in the universe can be interconnected and demonstrates once again the mysterious nature of our world and the cosmos. Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson delve into this phenomenon and clarify that the study focused on the correlation between the changes in the magnetic field and the movement of particles in primary cosmic radiation. They discuss how these alterations are dependent on the dynamics of disturbances within the Earth, which in turn affects the magnetic field. This conversation showcases the complexities of the Earth's magnetic field and offers an interesting insight into a potential connection between cosmic radiation and earthquakes. Understanding these correlations could have significant implications for predicting future earthquakes and other potential natural disasters.

Do Exoplanets Have Magnetic Fields?
In this episode, the hosts dive into the topic of magnetic fields on exoplanets and their importance for potentially supporting life. The discussion touches on the role of Earth's magnetic field in shielding the atmosphere and the planet's surface from harmful subatomic particles. For a rocky planet to have a magnetic field, the presence of an iron and nickel core is essential, as it generates a magnetic field as the planet rotates. For life to exist or have the potential to exist on these planets, having a magnetic field could play a crucial role, offering a protective layer against harmful cosmic radiation. Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson highlight the recent discovery of the first exoplanet with a magnetic field, YZ Ceti B, which is located around 12 light-years away and orbits an M-dwarf star. Scientists have used radio emissions from the star to study the interaction between the planet and the star's magnetic field, revealing that YZ Ceti B generates bursts of radio emissions, an indication of it having its own magnetic field. This discovery holds great significance as it suggests that other rocky exoplanets may also have magnetic fields, making them potential candidates for supporting life. However, some exceptions in our own solar system, such as Venus and Mars, challenge this notion.
I'm seeing this thing that no one has seen happen before, which is always a nice thing when you're a working astronomer and you're sitting at a big telescope somewhere and something turns up. - Professor Fred Watson

Space tells matter how to move." - John Wheeler Professor Fred Watson is an astronomer and science communicator, best known for his work in the field of astrophysics. He is a regular contributor to numerous science-related media outlets around the globe. Professor Fred Watson was taken aback by Rusty's question about how the rotation curves vary with wavelength. After exploring Einstein's famous theory of gravity, Fred discussed the dangers of the neutron star and the web of dark matter that formed structures in the universe. He explained that dark energy, while being uniform throughout the universe, was the cause of the universe's accelerating expansion. He then discussed the possibility of dark matter black holes, concluding that they should behave the same as normal matter black holes. Finally, he discussed the research done by colleagues in Australia which suggested that the speed of light may have been different in the past. This thought-provoking conversation left Fred and the listeners with questions to ponder. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What phenomena would you encounter if you were magically transported to a neutron star? 2. What is the difference between dark matter and dark energy and how do they interact with each other? 3.

It's the tallest volcano on the planet." Fred Watson was in a hotel room in Canberra when a thunderstorm struck, sending him scrambling to unplug his electronics. While there, he heard about the National Press Club lunch with the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson, and his deputy, Pam Melroy. He managed to get a ticket and attended the event, where he learned about the volcanically active planet Venus. Robert Herrick, a planetary scientist at the University of Alaska, had detected a particular volcanic vent that had changed in shape and size over an eight month period. Professor Herrick suggested that this could be a recent volcanic event; and Trevor Allen's research on the carbonaceous asteroid, 162173 Ryugu, uncovered evidence of uracil, a component of RNA molecules. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What is the Veritas mission and how could it further our understanding of volcanoes on Venus?Herrick 2.

Fred Watson was in a hotel room in Canberra when a thunderstorm struck, sending him scrambling to unplug his electronics. While there, he heard about the National Press Club lunch with the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson, and his deputy, Pam Melroy. He managed to get a ticket and attended the event, where he learned about the volcanically active planet Venus. Robert Herrick, a planetary scientist at the University of Alaska, had detected a particular volcanic vent that had changed in shape and size over an eight month period. Professor Herrick suggested that this could be a recent volcanic event; and Trevor Allen's research on the carbonaceous asteroid, 162173 Ryugu, uncovered evidence of uracil, a component of RNA molecules. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What is the Veritas mission and how could it further our understanding of volcanoes on Venus?Herrick 2. How did researchers detect uracil in the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu? 3. How does the sun's core lose mass and energy and how does it become visible radiation?

They discussed the potential for the discovery of a source for dark energy, which Daniel from Adelaide theorized could be black holes that suck up normal matter and energy and convert them to dark matter and dark energy. C0-incidentally, a paper published this week links black holes to dark energy, but not dark matter. It states that black holes generate an energy that is somehow coupled to the universe's expansion, providing the energy required for the universe's acceleration. Duncan Farrer of the University of Hawaii said that this is the first proposed astrophyiscal source for dark energy and could result in a Nobel Prize. Lastly, they discussed the danger of rubble pile asteroids, and other listener questions. "Keep an eye on your letterboxes, because that's sure to arrive. Great stuff, Daniel. And you are, in a sense, ahead of the curve there because for the first time we've seen this week a paper, scientific paper, that exactly does that links black holes with dark energy. Not with dark matter, but with dark energy. Now, what is different from the Daniel theory is the mechanism for this. It doesn't involve things being spat out of black holes at speed of light'.

1. Could black holes be the source of dark matter and dark energy?

After a decade of searching, a determined Mars rover discovers an eerily familiar formation of an ancient crater, inciting an interplanetary investigation of the phenomenon of pareidolia. You will learn the mysteries of the Red Planet and the latest updates on Mars exploration. Learn about Mars exploration through a lively conversation between Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson on Space Nuts. They discussed the phenomenon of pareidolia, where people find familiar shapes in random objects, and how it has been seen on Mars in the form of faces, hats, and other shapes. They also talked about the rover Perseverance and its mission to collect samples which have been left on the surface in 10 sealed tubes. They have now been dropped at a geographical location called Three Forks. Lastly, they discussed the camera on the rover's arm called Watson, which uses spectroscopy to analyze the rock samples. "We try to humanize everything we do humanize it. It's great because it draws attention to what's going on around it and maybe they get interested and have a look at some more. We just seem to gravitate to faces, don't we? Especially smiley ones. Well, that's good. I mean, you don't really want evil faces in space." In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What is the phenomenon of pareidolia, and how does it explain why we see faces in inanimate objects? 2. What happened when the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured an image of a "Paddington Bear" on the surface of Mars? 3. What advanced technologies are being used to collect and analyze samples from the surface of Mars?

Andrew Dunkley here from Space Nuts. Hope you can join us on Best of 2022 episode where I'll be joined by none other than the good Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Fred. What's on this edition. Fred: One of the biggest stories of 2022, which is the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope. We're going to cover that in a little bit of detail. We're going to talk about a new telescope that's just starting to be built at Siding Spring Observatory here in New South Wales, that’ll be looking for the aftermath of gravitational wave events. And we’ll squeeze in a story about the idea that aliens might use quantum communication. Andrew: And we just finished answering all the questions about gravitational waves and we had to do a gravitational wave story. So, we'll start rolling again, of course. And speaking of audience questions, we'll be hearing from Ben in Dover, who has a gravitational wave question, and Alex from New South Wales about the apparent size of galaxies. That's a really interesting question. That's all coming up on episode 313 of Space Nuts, the podcast you can download from your favorite podcast distributor. Talk to you then. Bye.

Andrew Dunkley here from Space Nuts. Hope you can join us on Best of 2022 episode where I'll be joined by none other than the good Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Fred. What's on this edition. Fred: One of the biggest stories of 2022, which is the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope. We're going to cover that in a little bit of detail. We're going to talk about a new telescope that's just starting to be built at Siding Spring Observatory here in New South Wales, that’ll be looking for the aftermath of gravitational wave events. And we’ll squeeze in a story about the idea that aliens might use quantum communication. Andrew: And we just finished answering all the questions about gravitational waves and we had to do a gravitational wave story. So, we'll start rolling again, of course. And speaking of audience questions, we'll be hearing from Ben in Dover, who has a gravitational wave question, and Alex from New South Wales about the apparent size of galaxies. That's a really interesting question. That's all coming up on episode 313 of Space Nuts, the podcast you can download from your favorite podcast distributor. Talk to you then. Bye.

A story about how volcanism might have shaped the atmosphere of the planet Venus.

And another story about something we’ve never talked about and that is filaments in the centers of galaxies. I used to think of a filament as being something that lit up a light bulb although they don't have that anymore, but these are filaments of hot gas which have been detected and are really quite mysterious.

And we'll answer questions about anti-matter and anti-protons, space junk, relativity, and one question we don't really understand, but it came from Rusty in Western Australia. So that's understandable in itself.

In this episode, we're going to visit Jupiter's moon Europa because there's new stuff from Europa, we've got new images which have come back from a flyby by the Juno spacecraft, plus some work about the plumes of ice that might come out of the surface of Europa.
Then we're going to go to the distant universe to talk about gravitational lenses with some new work that has been done here in Australia.
We'll also be answering some audience questions. Ian wants to know about Venus and Mars. It's a great Paul McCartney album. I think that's the answer to the question. Also the size of Earth, earth by perception. And Gus wants to talk about dark matter. Or do we have to - yes, we do.

We'll also be taking some audience questions. One about antimatter, and I love this one a hypothetical - fishing in a black hole. Now, there's more to it than that, and you won't catch fish in a black hole. They will already be spaghettified. But what happens if you're a fish in a black hole?

This is episode 325 of Space Nuts podcast, and we've got a lot to talk about. In fact, the audience is going to do the talking because we're dedicating the whole show to questions. So we've got questions about Artemis 1, dark matter, flickering stars, Spacetime holes, gravity and terraforming Venus. Which will be interesting because it's a hot bed that place a very, very, nasty place if you set foot on it, which I don't advise. That's all to come on this edition of Space Nuts. Enjoy!

I hope you can join us on the very next episode, because it's very exciting. We are going to do a follow up on the DART mission with one of our dedicated listeners, Marie-Claire Mercier. Hi, Marie Claire. Thanks for joining us, by the way.
Marie-Claire: Thank you. Thank you for sending the invite.
Andrew: And we've got other things to talk about, too. Fred, what's going on?
Fred: Exciting news from Mars. Andrew, your favorite planet, Some interesting evidence that comes from the Chinese rover on Mars with its ground penetrating radar, it's revealed some interesting features deep beneath the surface of Mars. Good thing to talk about.
Andrew: Okay. Yes, indeed. Look forward to that. We'll also be answering some audience questions about the effects of an asteroid impact, which dovetails beautifully with the DART Mission and Dark Force theory. What is it? Nothing to do with Star Wars. You can find out more on this episode of Space Nuts.

I hope you can join us on the very next episode, because it's very exciting. We are going to do a follow up on the DART mission with one of our dedicated listeners, Marie-Claire Mercier. Hi, Marie Claire. Thanks for joining us, by the way.
Marie-Claire: Thank you. Thank you for sending the invite.
Andrew: And we've got other things to talk about, too. Fred, what's going on?
Fred: Exciting news from Mars. Andrew, your favorite planet, Some interesting evidence that comes from the Chinese rover on Mars with its ground penetrating radar, it's revealed some interesting features deep beneath the surface of Mars. Good thing to talk about.
Andrew: Okay. Yes, indeed. Look forward to that. We'll also be answering some audience questions about the effects of an asteroid impact, which dovetails beautifully with the DART Mission and Dark Force theory. What is it? Nothing to do with Star Wars. You can find out more on this episode of Space Nuts.

Space Nuts Episode 323 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Coming up, we're going to be looking at the 100th anniversary of a major event in astronomy and space science involving Einstein, which Fred knows everything about because he's giving a lecture on it tonight. We're also going to talk about Mars because there's been some interesting findings on Mars and it's all to do with vibrations. And listener questions… Jerry wants to know about the threat from solar flares and Tom from Minnesota on calculating distances across the vastness of the universe. That's all to come on this episode of Space Nuts.

Fred: Hot off the press stories, as always. We've got a new mineral that has been discovered on the Moon by Chinese scientists which sounds really interesting. And we've got some less than good news, I guess, to report on two of the space missions that are uppermost in our mind. Artemis One and Blue Origin.
Andrew: Okay we'll look into those issues, and we will get questions from Rebecca in Geelong, who is asking about with the Moon being hit by pieces of rock on a regular basis and what that might do to future Moon bases and Moon missions. And Mikey from Illinois wants to know how we know galaxies are interacting when there are so many in the pictures coming back from James Web. That's a good question.

Fred: We've got some great stuff as always, Andrew. We're going to ask the question, did the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs have a companion object that was traveling with it? That's an intriguing thing to look at. We're also going to look at some new observations of the largest known star in the universe. Wow.
Andrew: Okay. It's not you, is it?
Fred: Well, apart from me.
Andrew: A lot of people would say it's you.
Fred: No, I don't think so. But thank you very much for the compliment. And thank you to those people as well.
Andrew: Now, we'll also be hearing from a few of those people, some questions from the audience about Dyson Spheres, the Barycenter of the Earth and the Moon, and cosmic microwave background radiation.

That's an intriguing thing to look at. We're also going to look at some new observations of the largest known star in the universe. Wow.
Andrew: Okay. It's not you, is it?
Fred: Well, apart from me.
Andrew: A lot of people would say it's you.
Fred: No, I don't think so. But thank you very much for the compliment. And thank you to those people as well.
Andrew: Now, we'll also be hearing from a few of those people, some questions from the audience about Dyson Spheres, the Barycenter of the Earth and the Moon, and cosmic microwave background radiation. That’s one of the really interesting questions we're going to tackle. All coming up on this episode of Space Nuts. Download from your favorite podcast distributor.

Andrew: Hi there. Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. Hope you can join us for episode 318. What are we going to be talking about, Fred?
Fred: We're going to talk about the discovery of a moon of an asteroid. And it's an important asteroid because this one is going to be visited by the Lucy spacecraft in the late 2020s.
We're also going to talk about upside down snow falling, or should it be rising, in the ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa. And there are listener questions to come which haven't yet revealed to me, but I understand they might be on the James Webb Space.
Andrew: They might be, because a lot of people are really fascinated by the James Webb Space Telescope, and that spawns a lot of questions.
So that's indeed what we will be talking about in episode 318 of Space Nuts with me, Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large.

Fred: Action Pack show as always, Andrew. We're going to talk about more observations that suggest that dark matter is not what we think it is. And we're also going to talk about a new supercomputer that we've got here in Australia. And I'm going to explain why I'm wearing this hi-vis vest.
Andrew: Yes, I'm wondering. It's not a good look.
Fred: Wait till you see what it is.
Andrew: Okay. All right will do. We'll also be answering some audience questions, but Fred doesn't know what they are. We're going to do a bit of a potluck on him this week. He doesn't like it. But occasionally, it's fun to see how things pan out.

We're going to talk about a new telescope that's just starting to be built at Siding Spring Observatory here in New South Wales, that’ll be looking for the aftermath of gravitational wave events. And we’ll squeeze in a story about the idea that aliens might use quantum communication.
Andrew: And we just finished answering all the questions about gravitational waves and we had to do a gravitational wave story. So, we'll start rolling again, of course. And speaking of audience questions, we'll be hearing from Ben in Dover, who has a gravitational wave question, and Alex from New South Wales about the apparent size of galaxies. That's a really interesting question. That's all coming up on episode 313 of Space Nuts, the podcast you can download from your favorite podcast distributor. Talk to you then. Bye.

Fred: Great stuff. Andrew, we're going to Mars again this week, to talk about a proposed new method of exploring the atmosphere of Mars, which I think is very, very exciting…and, and I hope to see it happening down the track.
And we're gonna celebrate the 10th anniversary of the discovery of wait for it, The Higgs Boson, not quite astronomy, but particle physics is very much a part of what we do when we're studying the universe. So exciting stuff. This.
Andrew: Particle physics. So I thought it was a snail, but anyway we'll get on that. We'll also be answering audience questions about stars passing close by our solar system.

Fred: Thank you, Andrew. Episode 310, because it's divisible by five, is actually an all questions episode. And today we've got a huge pile of questions on topics as diverse as and I've got to read this. The Big Rip, surviving the Vacuum of Space. Our closest neighbor in space, putting a hole through the Earth. What would it be like falling through it? Are there such things as gas moons, the triangular galaxy - Will it get gobbled up by our own galaxy? And what if you had a billiard cue long enough to poke somebody on Mars? Would they feel it faster than the speed of light?
Andrew: Fantastic. Actually, that question about surviving in space turned out to be a very fascinating answer. So I'm looking forward to talking about that one. They refer to messiness in the question. And you know what? They're right. So we'll talk about that and much, much more on this edition of Space Nuts. Download from your favorite podcast distributor.

We're going to talk about NASA introducing a study to look at unidentified aerial phenomena.
Then we're going to Pluto because we're going to talk about an occultation of Pluto, which has produced some interesting results. And finally, a record breaker. The fastest growing black hole that we know has just been discovered by Australian astronomers.
Andrew: Wow. Gee, that doesn't sound too nice, actually.
Fred: If it's a fast growing black hole, we know what they're all about.
Andrew: We'll also be answering a couple of questions. Brett wants to know about astrophotography and Fenton is gee, you must have woken up in the middle of the night Fenton, trying to figure this one out. The ratios of elements as you move away from the sun. Not the first thing I think of when I wake up in the middle of the night, but anyway, we will cover all of that in this episode of Space Nuts.

In this episode of Space Nuts, Fred and I talk about the very large space rock that disintegrated off the coast of Brazil in early February, and was hardly reported on...yet it was one of the largest ever.

Plus we take a look at the recent discovery and confirmation of Gravitational waves...and the side bet it generated. Looks like Astronomers are only human after all...:)
