From the vast emptiness of space to the peculiarities of tidally locked planets, this episode promises to expand your cosmic curiosity.<br /><b>Episode Highlights:</b><br />- <b>How Empty is Space?</b> Kevin's question leads to a discussion on the remarkable emptiness of space and the risks faced by spacecraft like New Horizons. Fred Watson explains the varying densities of space, from the dusty inner solar system to the clearer outer regions, and how spacecraft navigate these vast distances without colliding with debris.<br />- <b>Tidally Locked Planets:</b> Casey asks about the implications of tidally locked planets on the formation of compounds and molecules. The hosts explore the temperature extremes on such planets and the potential for a habitable zone at the terminator, where the hot and cold sides meet.<br />- <b>Sonification of Orbits:</b> Hazel from Scotland inquires about the musical adaptations of orbits and whether galaxies experience similar resonances. Fred Watson elaborates on the fascinating concept of orbital resonances and how they can be translated into sound, while also addressing the complexities of galactic motion.<br />- <b>Peculiar Motions in the Universe:</b> Rusty poses a thought-provoking question about the peculiar motion of the Local Group towards the Virgo Cluster and the Great Attractor. Fred Watson discusses the early universe's structure and how dark matter filaments contribute to the motion of galaxies.<br />For more Space Nuts, including our continuously updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, <a href="https://www.spacenutspodcast.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>visit our website.</b></a> Follow us on social media at SpaceNutsPod on Facebook, X, YouTube Music, Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.

Fred explains the differences in observational techniques and the statistical challenges faced by astronomers today.<br />- <b>Understanding Black Holes:</b> Young listener Enrique asks how black holes can have density if their singularity lacks volume. Fred breaks down the concept of density and how it relates to the mass of black holes, providing a clear explanation for this complex topic.<br />- <b>Target of Opportunity Observations:</b> Ben from Northwestern University inquires about how observatories handle interruptions in their schedules for significant astronomical events. Fred discusses the common practice of prioritizing observations of transient phenomena like supernovae and gravitational waves, shedding light on the intricacies of telescope time management.<br />- <b>Gravitational Waves Explained:</b> Fenton from Minnesota asks about the nature of gravitational waves and their potential interactions.

They clarify the nature of gravitational waves and how they interact with matter, debunking some common misconceptions along the way.<br />- <b>Space-Time and Dark Matter:</b> The duo discusses another intriguing question about the relationship between space-time, energy, and dark matter. They explore Rusty's complex theories about the rotation of space and its implications for our understanding of the universe.<br />- <b>Light Sails and Laser Propulsion:</b> Dave from Indiana asks about the feasibility of using lasers to propel spacecraft via light sails. Andrew and Fred Watson unpack this fascinating concept, referencing ongoing research and experiments in the field of space propulsion.<br />- <b>Cosmic Jokes:</b> The episode takes a light-hearted turn as Andrew and Fred Watson attempt to unravel some space-themed jokes sent in by listeners. They explore the humour behind these cosmic quips, including the infamous "faster than light" neutrino joke and the intricacies of barred spiral galaxies.<br />For more Space Nuts, including our continually updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, <a href="https://www.spacenutspodcast.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>visit our website.</b></a> Follow us on social media at SpaceNutsPod on Facebook, X, YouTube Music, Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.

From the sun's mass loss over billions of years to the enigmatic relationship between primordial black holes and dark energy, this episode is packed with illuminating discussions that will expand your cosmic understanding.<br /><b>Episode Highlights:</b><br />- <b>The Sun's Mass Over Time:</b> Heidi and Fred explore a listener's question about how much smaller the sun is now compared to two billion years ago. They discuss the staggering amount of hydrogen it burns each second and how this affects its overall mass, revealing that the sun has only lost a minuscule fraction of its mass over its lifetime.<br />- <b>Primordial Black Holes and Dark Energy:</b> The duo addresses a listener's inquiry into the connection between primordial black holes and dark energy. They explain why the mathematics of current theories do not support the idea that evaporating black holes could account for the universe's accelerated expansion.<br />- <b>The Final Parsecs of Black Hole Mergers:</b> A deep dive into the complexities of black hole mergers leads to discussions about gravitational waves and the challenges of understanding what happens during these cosmic events. Fred shares insights on the final parsec problem and the mysterious nature of singularities.<br />- <b>Dark Matter and Energy Manifest:</b> The episode wraps up with a listener's intriguing proposition that dark matter could be energy manifest. Fred clarifies how dark matter may have originated from energy during the Big Bang, while the quest to uncover its true nature continues.<br />For more Space Nuts, including our continually updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, <a href="https://www.spacenutspodcast.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>visit our website.</b></a>Follow us on social media at SpaceNutsPod on Facebook, X, YouTube Music Music, Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.

From the mysterious nature of dark matter to the energetic comparison between the Big Bang and supernovas, this episode is packed with cosmic insights.Episode Highlights:- Dark Matter: Michael from Illinois asks if dark matter could be the fabric of space-time. Fred explains why dark matter warps space rather than being the fabric itself and delves into the ongoing search for its true nature.<br />- Sci-Fi Tech: Michael also inquires about technological advances from science fiction that could become reality. Fred and Andrew discuss space elevators, warp speed travel, and the manipulation of gravity.<br />- Big Bang vs. Supernovas: Rennie Traub wants to know how the energy of the Big Bang compares to the most powerful supernovas or gamma-ray bursts. Fred highlights the vast difference in energy levels, with the Big Bang being incomparably more powerful.<br />- Primordial Black Holes: Joseph from Melbourne asks if primordial black holes could explain recent James Webb images of enormous distant black holes and if they could account for dark matter. Fred explores the possibilities and recent research on this topic.<br />- The Three-Body Problem: Ralph seeks advice on navigating the complex book series "The Three-Body Problem" and shares updates on its adaptation into a TV series.<br />Don't forget to send us your questions via our website...spacenuts.io.Support Space Nuts and join us on this interstellar journey by visiting our website support page.

This episode dives into some fascinating listener questions that challenge our understanding of space and science.First up, Mikey from Illinois poses a thought-provoking question: Can we drink water from the moon or Mars? Andrew and Fred explore the potential risks and benefits of consuming extraterrestrial water, including the presence of unknown substances and the impact of heavy water isotopes.Next, Sean from Nottingham inquires about the Nemesis theory, asking whether there could be a small sun or neutron star in our solar system, possibly linked to the elusive Planet Nine. Fred delves into the history and current standing of this hypothesis, examining its implications for mass extinctions and the structure of our solar system.Finally, Rusty from Donnybrook raises a question about the Hubble constant and whether the interstellar medium might be affecting the measurements of standard candles, leading to discrepancies in the universe's expansion rate. Fred explains the intricacies of this cosmic conundrum and why astronomers have considered and largely ruled out this possibility.<br /><br />From the safety of lunar water to the mysteries of distant stars and the expanding universe, this episode of Space Nuts promises to ignite your curiosity and expand your cosmic knowledge.

Firstly, they discuss Blue Origin's return to the stars with NS-25, a mission that marked a triumphant comeback after technical setbacks. The flight not only signifies Blue Origin's resilience but also the inspirational story of Ed Dwight, the first African-American astronaut candidate, who at 90 years old, set a record as the oldest person to reach space.Next, the conversation lightens with the discovery of a planet with the consistency of fairy floss, also known as cotton candy or candy floss. WASP-193b, a gas giant that defies the norms of density and composition, leaves astronomers scratching their heads. How does a planet become so 'fluffy'? What could it possibly be made of? These are the questions that Andrew and Fred ponder as they delve into the mysteries of planet formation.Lastly, the duo discusses the gravitational wave background in the universe, likening it to the cosmic microwave background radiation. They explore how pulsar timing arrays are providing new insights into the 'hiss' of gravitational waves created by countless cosmic events, offering a deeper understanding of the universe's dynamic fabric.From record-breaking astronauts to cotton candy planets and the cosmic symphony of gravitational waves, this episode of Space Nuts is packed with astronomical wonders that will leave you in awe.

Despite its unparalleled success over the past 34 years, Hubble is once more grappling with gyroscopic glitches that threaten to reduce its celestial observations' efficiency. Can NASA engineers coax Hubble back to its full cosmic potential?Next, join the duo as they delve into the mystery of the fastest spinning asteroid ever discovered, 2024 BX1. Detected a mere three hours before it streaked through Earth's atmosphere, this diminutive space rock has set a new record for rapid rotation, completing a turn every 2.6 seconds. Learn how meteorite hunters in Poland managed to snag fragments of this celestial speedster, offering us a rare close-up of an asteroidal visitor.Finally, Andrew and Fred illuminate the perplexing world of gamma-ray bursts, those enigmatic flashes of light that outshine entire galaxies in mere seconds. With a new breakthrough in understanding their light curves, scientists are unraveling the symmetrical patterns of these bursts, revealing insights into the relativistic jets that propel them across the universe. Could this be the key to decoding one of the cosmos' most powerful phenomena?From the trials of Hubble to the swift twirl of an asteroid and the cryptic luminance of gamma-ray bursts, this episode of Space Nuts is a journey through the marvels and mysteries of our vast universe.

As we discover more worlds, each more bizarre than the last, could it be that our pale blue dot is truly one of a kind? The discussion delves into the Fermi Paradox and the rarity of life's complex leap from single cells to sentient beings.<br />Lastly, James presents a duo of hypotheticals that challenge the limits of science fiction and science fact. Can we reverse gravity by reversing time? And could we engineer a magnetosphere on an asteroid like Psyche? Fred's responses to these queries are sure to electrify your imagination.<br />From the theoretical to the astronomical, this episode of Space Nuts is a cosmic buffet of brain food.

They discuss how supernovae explosions do not blow away the gravitational field and how neutron stars develop as a result. They also provide insights into 3D printed telescopes and suggest that beginners may find it easier to start with an off-the-shelf telescope. They talk about the trajectory and potential fate of the Voyager spacecraft and discuss the challenges of building particle colliders in space. Overall, they provide informative and engaging answers to the audience's questions. Takeaways   Supernovae explosions do not blow away the gravitational field because gravity is associated with mass. The explosion only affects the outer envelope of the star, while the core collapses to become a neutron star. 3D printed telescopes can be a good option for beginners, but it may be easier to start with an off-the-shelf telescope. 3D printed telescopes require more components and may involve more fiddling around. The Voyager spacecraft will continue on their current trajectories and are not expected to pass near any star systems within human lifetimes. However, if they were near enough to Earth, they could be detectable by extraterrestrial intelligence. Building particle colliders in space is challenging due to the need for precise guidance and the high velocities of the particles. It may be more cost-effective and realistic to continue building particle colliders on Earth. The fate of the Voyager spacecraft is uncertain, but they could potentially be captured into orbit around another star or collide with other objects. They will likely outlast our species and continue on their trajectories away from the solar system. <b>Chapters</b> <b> </b> <b>00:00 Volcanic Features and Pyroclastic Deposits</b> <b>00:28 Q&amp;A: Supernovas and Neutron Stars</b> <b>07:03 Q&amp;A: 3D Printable Telescopes</b> <b>11:07 Q&amp;A: Voyager Space Probe Missions</b> <b>15:12 Q&amp;A: Particle Collisions and Voyager's Fate</b><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/59454605</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 21:00:04 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdcn.co/e/op3.dev/e/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/59454605/sn408_air.mp3" length="22842767" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/26faee17-9444-4e83-aef3-a6d998f19d87/26faee17-9444-4e83-aef3-a6d998f19d87.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/26faee17-9444-4e83-aef3-a6d998f19d87/26faee17-9444-4e83-aef3-a6d998f19d87.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/26faee17-9444-4e83-aef3-a6d998f19d87/26faee17-9444-4e83-aef3-a6d998f19d87.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Professor Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode of Space Nuts Q&amp;amp;A, Andrew and Fred answer questions about supernovae, 3D printed telescopes, the Voyager space probe missions, and the possibility of using particle collision in space.

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.<br />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.<br />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.

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.<br />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.<br />From Martian mysteries to minuscule exoplanets, this episode is a cosmic cocktail of astrophysical wonder and discovery.

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&amp;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.<br />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?<br />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.<br />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!<br />So, ignite your curiosity engines and prepare for a journey through the mysteries of space and science fiction.

Today, we're delving into the realm of nuclear alchemy, where scientists have replicated the cosmic crucible of colliding neutron stars right here on Earth. Andrew and Fred unpack the groundbreaking synthesis of new isotopes, previously the exclusive handiwork of the universe's most cataclysmic events. Discover how a platinum beam and a carbon target in the lab have opened a new window into the cosmic generation of elements like gold and silver, and what this means for our understanding of matter's deepest secrets.<br />Then, brace for a journey to the edges of space-time, as we shed light on the discovery of the fastest-growing and brightest quasar ever observed. This celestial behemoth, with a black hole 17 billion times the mass of our Sun, is not only a record-breaker but a window into the universe's youthful past, some 12 billion years ago. With a luminosity of 500 trillion suns and an event horizon stretching seven light years, this quasar is a true cosmic titan. Fred and Andrew explore the implications of such discoveries and ponder the evolution of these quasars, which now lie dormant in the current epoch of the universe.<br />And lest we forget, the episode is graced with a surprise guest—a goanna in Fred's backyard, reminding us of the enduring connection between Earth's ancient inhabitants and the stars that light our skies.<br />So, join us on this intergalactic voyage of discovery, where the wonders never cease, and the universe's secrets are yours to uncover.

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.<br />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?<br />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.

Fred serves up a celestial explanation that involves not just gravity but centrifugal force, too. It's a cosmic balancing act that keeps our space missions on course and our minds in awe.<br />Next, we're zooming into the heart of galaxies where supermassive black holes reign supreme. Kerry's burning question leads us to differentiate the gravitational effects of these cosmic giants from the elusive dark matter. How do astronomers measure their impact separately, and could we have misjudged their mass? Fred illuminates the dark corners of this astronomical puzzle.<br />And for the grand finale, we're pondering the ultimate 'what if': communication with a superior alien race. If we could ask them just one question, what would it be? From the practical to the profound, Andrew and Fred muse over what could be humanity's most significant query.<br />Whether you're a cosmic rookie or a seasoned stargazer, this episode is guaranteed to provide a gravity-defying leap into the unknown.

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.<br /><br />Chapters <br />00:00 Introduction and Naming of Australia's Moon Rover<br />06:05 Gamma Ray Burst and Mysterious Disappearing, Reappearing Galaxy<br />25:14 Discussion on AzTEC 71 and Dusty Galaxies<br />36:07 Question on Kardashev Scale and Dyson Spheres<br />39:42 Speculating on Advanced Civilizations<br />43:30 Tidal Locking of Planets and Moons<br />50:00 Measuring the Speed of Objects<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57938253</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 Dec 2023 12:12:45 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdcn.co/e/op3.dev/e/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/57938253/sn381_air_sponsor_nordvpn_edition.mp3" length="53188276" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/7e845db2-d97a-43ef-85eb-7030da5f8af3/7e845db2-d97a-43ef-85eb-7030da5f8af3.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/7e845db2-d97a-43ef-85eb-7030da5f8af3/7e845db2-d97a-43ef-85eb-7030da5f8af3.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/7e845db2-d97a-43ef-85eb-7030da5f8af3/7e845db2-d97a-43ef-85eb-7030da5f8af3.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Professor Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ https://www.nordvpn.com/spacenuts or use the checkout code SPACENUTS.

Timestamped summary of this episode:<br />00:00:00 - Introduction <br />Andrew Dunkley introduces the episode and previews the topics to be discussed, including the extinction of the dinosaurs, planets orbiting a star similar to ours, and audience questions about Andromeda gravity.<br />00:05:38 - New Theory on Dinosaur Extinction <br />Astronomers in Belgium and the UK have proposed a new theory on the extinction of the dinosaurs. They have found evidence of fine silicate dust in the rock strata, suggesting that the impact of a massive asteroid led to a global winter, which caused the mass extinction event.<br />00:08:41 - Impact of Silicate Dust <br />The distribution of silicate dust from the asteroid impact was larger than previously estimated. This fine dust, about 1 micron in diameter, could have stayed in the atmosphere for an extended period, contributing to the global winter and the extinction of the dinosaurs.<br />00:02:16 - Fred's Travels <br />Fred Watson discusses his upcoming travels to Sea Lake in Victoria for an astronomy weekend and his trip to New Zealand for the hundredth anniversary of an astronomical society. He also mentions his participation in a meeting about dark and quiet skies and the impact of satellites on astronomers.<br />00:04:44 - Interesting Statistics <br />Andrew Dunkley shares interesting statistics, including the percentage of New Zealanders living in Australia (10% of their population) and the fastest-growing nationality moving to Australia (the Nepalese). He humorously advises Fred not to mix up Switzerland with Sweden, referencing a recent<br />00:17:05 - "Introduction to the Star's Lifecycle" <br />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.<br />00:19:32 - "Planets Orbiting the Star" <br />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.<br />00:21:35 - "Impact of Star Growth on Planets" <br />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.<br />00:25:04 - "Predictions for the Planets" <br />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.<br />00:35:32 - The Spectacular Event of the Andromeda Galaxy <br />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. <br />00:36:27 - Collision of Galaxies <br />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.<br />00:37:33 - Black Hole Merger <br />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.<br />00:38:59 - Can Gravity Escape a Black Hole? <br />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.<br />00:41:23 - The Myth of Bagpipes on the Moon <br />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,<br /><br />The extinction of dinosaurs has been a topic of intrigue for centuries. Various theories propose the cause to be major environmental changes, catastrophic asteroid impact, or major shifts in vegetation, leading to dental maladies am<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57661163</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Nov 2023 10:37:05 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdcn.co/e/op3.dev/e/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/57661163/sn378_air_mix_sponsor_edition_nordvpn.mp3" length="48084158" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/814c2d04-559f-46d0-b7cd-90b1999828bd/814c2d04-559f-46d0-b7cd-90b1999828bd.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/814c2d04-559f-46d0-b7cd-90b1999828bd/814c2d04-559f-46d0-b7cd-90b1999828bd.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/814c2d04-559f-46d0-b7cd-90b1999828bd/814c2d04-559f-46d0-b7cd-90b1999828bd.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Professor Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ https://www.nordvpn.com/spacenuts or use the checkout code SPACENUTS.

Rusty from Donnybrook and Russ from Stylebridge brought forth questions that transformed our podcast into an intergalactic journey, delving into the mysteries of the Milky Way's metallicity profile and the mind-bending concept of our universe residing within a black hole. As we explored these audacious ideas, we found ourselves diving deeper into the enigma of space, forging a bond with our listeners who share our passion for astrobiology. But little did we know, these questions were just the beginning - a beginning that would unravel even more captivating mysteries. Stay tuned to uncover the next twist in this cosmic tale. In this episode, you will be able to: · Get the lowdown on how Metallicity is intertwined with the presence of complex life across our galaxy. · Journey through the awe-inspiring, enigmatic universe of black holes, detailing their size and properties. · Walk through the cosmic annals as you perceive past events due to the speed of light. · Examine the Big Bang, divulging the key contribution of population three stars during this pivotal cosmic event. · Get to grips with the perplexing concepts of Redshift, time dilation, and the paths of space objects. Time Travel in Astronomy: How the Universe Reveals Its Past I think he's actually right...I think he's on the right track, because whilst the formal definition of a black hole...is a point in space with infinite density...that suggests that if its density is infinite, that its dimensions are zero...But I'm thinking that physicists know that 'physics'...never works that way. You can't have something with no volume and no dimensions and yet still exert a gravitational force The resources mentioned in this episode are: · Check out the integrated metallicity profile of the Milky Way published in Nature Astronomy. · Learn more about the metallicity of stars and its importance in the search for life on other planets. · Explore the concept of living inside a giant black hole and the theories surrounding it. · Find out if the entire universe could be a quantum object and what that means for our understanding of reality. · Discover the different sizes of black holes, including supermassive and intermediate black holes. · Learn about the formal definition of a black hole and its dimensions. · Watch the video on YouTube for a visual explanation of black holes. · Consider the implications of black holes on our understanding of physics and the laws of the universe. · Dive deeper into the topic of black holes by reading scientific articles and books on the subject. · Stay tuned for future episodes of the show for more fascinating discussions and questions. The Size of Black Holes Alright, time for a real brain-boggler: Do black holes have a size? Now, this might sound like a straightforward question, but in reality, it's anything but. The nature and properties of black holes are one of the greatest mysteries of our universe. In technical terms, black holes are described as a "singularity," which implies zero dimensions. But could there be more to it than that? Black holes became an engaging topic when Andrew and Fred touched upon how their "size" led to several theories and ideas. Both agreed that the definition and understanding of black holes are fluid, leaving a lot of room for scientific debate. Fred even hinted at the possibility of revisiting the no hair theorem, which describes the limited number of detectable attributes of a black hole. So, despite the name, black holes are anything but an empty subject! Apogee and Earth's Climate Now, let's talk about something a touch closer to home - the Earth's climate. You might have heard the term "apeelian," which refers to when our blue planet is furthest from the Sun. It's a regular, annual occurrence, but does it have a significant effect on our climate? From a layman's perspective, it might seem like it should. But hold onto your hats - the reality is quite different! In engaging conversation with Andrew, Fred clarified a common misconception about the apogee and its impact on our climate. As it turns out, the difference in distance doesn't have much effect at all! The tilt of Earth's axis and seasonal changes have a lot more to do with our climate than our planet's solar proximity. It's one of those delightful bits of information that make you appreciate just how complex and finely balanced our planet's systems are.

Well, let me take you on a journey where the unexpected becomes the norm. Picture this: a space buff lost in deep thoughts about the upcoming Artemis mission to the Moon. The question of power generation in the shadowy craters of the lunar south pole lingers. But then, like a bolt of lightning, a company named Maxar appears on the horizon with their ingenious solution - Lightbender. Mirrors and sunlight intertwine to illuminate the darkness. But what if this lunar enlightenment holds even more secrets? Stay tuned to uncover a twist that will leave you craving for more. In this episode, you will be able to: · Unearth the immense difficulty behind power creation on the Moon and its crucial implications. · Learn about the innovative path Lightbender is paving for electricity generation in the Moon's darkest regions. · Understand the subtle yet influential relationship between Lightbender and heliostat technology. · Imagine broader possibilities thanks to Lightbender, as its potential extends much farther than just the Moon. · Recognize the importance of accessing and harnessing lunar water reserves, a game-changer in furthering space exploration. List 3 - The aim is to have continuous habitation on the Moon. It's a stepping stone to traveling beyond the Moon to other parts of the solar system. This is our future, and it's a future we should all be excited about. - Andrew Dunkley The resources mentioned in this episode are: · Visit Maxar's website to learn more about their Lightbender technology for providing beams of sunlight on the Moon. · Check out NASA's Artemis Project website for updates and information on their mission to send human beings back to the Moon. · Explore the concept of heliostats and how they are used for solar observations. · Discover the Anglo Australian Telescope and its state-of-the-art mirror technology for maximum reflectivity. · Consider installing solar panels on your own roof to take advantage of renewable energy. · Stay updated on the latest news and developments in space exploration by following Space Nuts with Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson. Power Challenges for Moon Missions To have a permanent human presence on the Moon, we can't sidestep the hurdle of generating power in the shadowed areas. Often, potential resources for living lie in such areas, for instance, the water reserves in the deep, often shadowed, craters near the poles. The tricky part is that the science we have today, solar-generated power, needs light. So, getting power to these dark, resourceful spots is a challenge that needs an intelligent solution. That's where something like Lightbender steps in - a technology that has the potential to crack this problem wide open. From Andrew's perspective, he notes that the topic is not just about exploration; it's a matter of survival in an environment that's vastly different from Earth. He compares this situation to the first astronauts who had to deal with the lack of power during moon night, which lasts about 14 Earth days. Understanding these challenges is essential to ensure the successful future of lunar missions. Heliostat and Sun Observations Lightbender isn't born entirely out of nowhere. Fred explained that it draws inspiration from a 19th-century astronomical idea of the heliostat. The heliostat also uses a two-mirror system to keep a steady image of the sun for solar observations. The primary difference lies in the autonomous control and AI of Lightbender to direct the reflected sunlight accurately. Paul was fascinated with the historical link between heliostats and the cutting-edge technology of Lightbender. Delving into the past, it made him appreciate the leaps and bounds humanity has made in technology and the new challenges it can overcome with novel adaptations of age-old inventions.

"Exploring the Outer Edges of the Solar System" So, you're probably wondering about what's out there, right at the edge of our very own Solar System? Well, it's truly a fascinating realm that's still full of mysteries and discoveries to be made. This uncharted frontier, deemed as the 'outer edges', is largely dominated by frozen volatile substances like water, methane, and ammonia. These celestial bodies, often referred to as Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), are believed to have remained untouched since the beginning of our Solar System, making them incredibly valuable to astronomers as they piece together the cosmic puzzle. Now, Andrew Dunkley delves into this very topic during the podcast. His curious mind bubbles over with questions and musings, all tinged with a sense of awe and wonder for the unknown. He draws attention to the curious alignment of some TNOs - suggestive of a possible unseen planetary body nicknamed 'Planet Nine.' Despite the inconclusive evidence and difficult prospect of direct observation, Andrew's excitement is infectious, igniting a curiosity that makes even the farthest reaches of our Solar System seem tantalizingly within reach. "Emission Lines and Spectroscopy" Ever gazed at a sodium vapor streetlight and wondered why it shines so orange? Or pondered why certain colors 'pop' in the spectrum of a star? The concept of emission lines and spectroscopy has the answers. This field of astrophysics uses the spectral properties of light to determine the chemical composition and physical properties of celestial objects. It's a bit like unlocking the star's 'identity card' through the visible and invisible light it emits. Not only does this add an analytical edge to stargazing, but it also provides fundamental insights into the universe’s anatomy. To provide a tangible context, Andrew Dunkley uses the example of sodium vapor streetlights, whose characteristic orange comes from the photon of light emitted by excited sodium atoms. Andrew navigates this complex topic with crystal-clear analogies, making it both comprehensible and captivating. His conversation dives into the sun's behavior, touching upon its photosphere, chromosphere, and even the enigmatic concept of black bodies. By weaving these threads together, Andrew masterfully brings out the intensely scientific yet genuinely stunning aspect of our cosmos. "The Search for Planet Nine" 'Hypothetical' might be the operative word when we talk about 'Planet Nine', but don't let that dull your curiosity. This proposed super-Earth, lurking at the outskirts of our solar system, has got scientists and space enthusiasts on the edge of their seats. It's essentially a cosmic 'Whodunit?,' propelled by unusual TNO alignments and the enduring allure of the unknown. From gravitational tugs to cosmic dances, all threads seem to point towards a master puppeteer, an unseen force – one that fits the billing of a rogue Planet Nine. During the podcast, Andrew Dunkley's take on Planet Nine is much akin to a thrilling treasure hunt. He dives into the resilient hypothesis, the indicative TNO alignments, and the potential game-changing role of the upcoming Vera Rubin Telescope in this quest. The pursuit of Planet Nine, as Andrew explains, is not just about satisfying curiosity; capturing it could drastically alter our understanding of the solar system's architecture and dynamics. He undoubtedly leaves us yearning for more discoveries and eager to join the cosmic manhunt.<br />For more Space Nuts visit <a href="https://www.spacenuts.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.spacenuts.io</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/55475373</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jun 2023 08:11:51 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdcn.co/e/op3.dev/e/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/55475373/sn358_air_mix.mp3" length="50203776" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://podcasts-embed.musixmatch.com/t/01H433FKN0601G4RGAPS9MEATK.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><itunes:author>Professor Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the lack of tangible evidence for Planet Nine despite your endless research and late-night discussions, then you are not alone!

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.<br />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<br />For more Space Nuts visit <a href="https://www.spacenuts.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.spacenuts.io</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/53591758</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Apr 2023 08:41:56 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdcn.co/e/op3.dev/e/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/53591758/sn_348_air.mp3" length="41568768" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/9161b600-e751-4bed-a531-9e153fc49cb2/9161b600-e751-4bed-a531-9e153fc49cb2.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/9161b600-e751-4bed-a531-9e153fc49cb2/9161b600-e751-4bed-a531-9e153fc49cb2.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/9161b600-e751-4bed-a531-9e153fc49cb2/9161b600-e751-4bed-a531-9e153fc49cb2.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Professor Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode, you will be able to:

Hear what's on the minds of our listeners. Explore the mysterious universe and uncover the secrets of dark matter and dark energy with Andrew and Fred. <b>"Matter tells space how to bend. Space tells matter how to move." - John Wheeler</b> 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. Could the speed of light or charge of the electron have been different in the past?

It's the tallest volcano on the planet."</b> 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?

In this episode, learn about astronomy topics - Quasars, Big Bang, and Carbon formation in the universe - from a conversation between Andrew and Fred about Dr. Rebecca Davis' research. They discuss how carbon started forming in the universe, which is important as we are a carbon based life form. The research found that in the early universe there was more cold carbon than warm carbon and it may be due to the first generation of stars. This research also paves the way for future investigations with the Square Kilometer Array to detect neutral hydrogen during a key phase of the universe's history. Furthermore, there is an example of extreme galactic cannibalism, with a distant galaxy called 3 C 297, which appears to be alone in space due to gobbling up all it's neighbours. <b>"During the period when the first stars and galaxies are forming, a lot of heavy elements are forming because we never had carbon before we had stars. One possible reason for this rapid rise is just that we're seeing the products of the first generation of stars."</b> In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. Australian astrophysicists have uncovered a crucial new development in understanding the evolution of carbon in the universe. 2. An extremely distant and old galaxy, 3C 297, is all alone in space, because it ate its friends. 3. Astronomers have discovered the earliest fossil group ever found, suggesting that galaxies gobbling up their partners and friends happened much earlier in the universe than previously thought.

This is Space Nuts. I'm your host, Andrew Dunkley. Hope you can stick around. We've got a lot to talk about today. What time is it on the moon? It's moon time.<br />It could be daytime, could be night-time. It depends where you are, but we're talking about real time.<br />We'll elaborate in this episode and offer up some solutions. There might be a new way to find Planet Nine. We're going to look at some sunrays on Mars and the dark Big Bang Theory. We'll also be answering some audience questions and much, much more on this episode of Space Nuts. "Throughout human history, exploration has actually been a key driver of improved timekeeping and geodetic reference models." The idea is how do you define time on the Moon. Do you have lots of different time zones, like we have on Earth? Or do you have a single lunar time zone? A joint international effort is now being launched towards achieving this. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How is time being defined on the Moon? 2. What is Planet Nine and can we find it? 3. Have Crepuscular Rays been seen on Mars for the first time?

Learn about Aurora displays from this Space Nuts podcast episode featuring Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley. Apparently, people have been seeing these aurora displays in unusual places due to various plasma bubbles being spat out from the sun. This is not surprising as we are approaching the solar maximum, which is the regular up and down trend in the number of sunspots that appear on the sun. These sunspots are highly intense regions of magnetism that release energy in the form of plasma bubbles which cause the green, red and sometimes purple lights of the aurora. It is unusual for people to be seeing the aurora in places such as the UK, and the best time to look is near the equinox. Plus we’re witnessing a spaghettification first hand, but what exactly is that, and lastly, the Space Station was damaged by a micrometeoroid and a rescue mission is underway. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. People are seeing the aurora in unexpected places - what is causing this phenomenon? 2. What will happen to the mysterious gas cloud X-7 as it passes closest to a black hole in 2036? 3. An uncrewed rescue mission was sent to the International Space Station - what was the mission and why was it necessary?

Learn about Aurora displays from this Space Nuts podcast episode featuring Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley. Apparently, people have been seeing these aurora displays in unusual places due to various plasma bubbles being spat out from the sun. This is not surprising as we are approaching the solar maximum, which is the regular up and down trend in the number of sunspots that appear on the sun. These sunspots are highly intense regions of magnetism that release energy in the form of plasma bubbles which cause the green, red and sometimes purple lights of the aurora. It is unusual for people to be seeing the aurora in places such as the UK, and the best time to look is near the equinox. Plus we’re witnessing a spaghettification first hand, but what exactly is that, and lastly, the Space Station was damaged by a micrometeoroid and a rescue mission is underway. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. People are seeing the aurora in unexpected places - what is causing this phenomenon? 2. What will happen to the mysterious gas cloud X-7 as it passes closest to a black hole in 2036? 3. An uncrewed rescue mission was sent to the International Space Station - what was the mission and why was it necessary?

You will learn how to unlock the secrets of the mysterious dark energy that powers the universe.<br /><b>Show Notes</b> Learn about Dark energy with Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson. 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. <b>"Keep an eye on your letterboxes, because that's sure to arrive. Great stuff, Daniel.

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?<br /><br /><b>Space Nuts Episode 339 with Professor Fred Watson &amp; Andrew Dunkley </b> Download from your favorite podcast distributor or visit our website at <a href="http://www.spacenuts.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.spacenuts.io</a> Sponsor Links: This episode of Space Nuts is brought to you by NordVPN…the highly rated VPN service and the one we personally use.

Asteroid 2023 BU, which flew past the earth very closely recently. It was almost a record breaker in that regard. We'll cover that. And we'll also talk about some new results from the James Webb telescope about the molecules and chemicals that are being found deep in icy clouds in space. Wow. All right. It's just always something new coming from the James Webb space telescope. And some audience questions. Harold wants to know about self-cleaning rovers. Good idea. Sandy in Melbourne wants to talk about how spacecraft targets small objects in space and more.

I'm Andrew Dunkley, your host, and joining me, as always, will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Hi, Fred. Happy new year. Probably too late to say that, but anyway, it's the first time we've chatted a break. Now, what's coming up on the 337th edition of Space nuts? Well, a near miss asteroid we've got to talk about. Asteroid 2023 BU, which flew past the earth very closely recently. It was almost a record breaker in that regard. We'll cover that. And we'll also talk about some new results from the James Webb telescope about the molecules and chemicals that are being found deep in icy clouds in space. Wow. All right. It's just always something new coming from the James Webb space telescope. And some audience questions. Harold wants to know about self-cleaning rovers. Good idea. Sandy in Melbourne wants to talk about how spacecraft targets small objects in space and more.

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. <b>Fred:</b> 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. <b>Andrew:</b> 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: 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.

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.

And my name is Andrew Dunkley, of course, the host, and joining me will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Fred, what are we going to do to finish off this 2022? Well, we've got some great stories, actually. It looks as though there's a mystery being solved that has hung around for decades regarding the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, which we see from down here in the Southern Hemisphere, the large and small Magellanic Cloud, among many others of them. That looks as though it's been solved by scientists, including somebody I know quite well actually from the University of Durham. Also, we're going to talk about something I know nothing about, the possibility that dark matter might turn out to be dark photons. All in Space Nuts 336.

We've got, the first exoplanet imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope. Really exciting to actually see directly the image of a planet for the first time. And we're going to talk about that well known asteroid impact experiment called DART, because we have news on that and some sad news as well about the passing of Professor Frank Drake of Drake Equation fame. <br />Andrew: Yes, indeed, very sad news there, but lots to talk about on the very next episode and some audience questions as well.

My name is Andrew Dunkley, the host of the Space Nuts podcast and  joining me is Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What’s on this episode Fred?<br />Fred: Magical episode as always, Andrew. We've got, the first exoplanet imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope. Really exciting to actually see directly the image of a planet for the first time. And we're going to talk about that well known asteroid impact experiment called DART, because we have news on that and some sad news as well about the passing of Professor Frank Drake of Drake Equation fame. <br />Andrew: Yes, indeed, very sad news there, but lots to talk about on the very next episode and some audience questions as well.

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?<br />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.<br />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.<br />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. <br />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.<br /><br />Listen via your favourite podcast app or visit our website at <a href="http://www.spacenuts.io" rel="noopener">www.spacenuts.io</a> <br />The Space Nuts Premium edition is now available on Spotify for our Supercast subscribers (sorry, Patreon isn’t there yet…fingers crossed).

And joining me will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What's coming up?<br />Fred: It we've got a bumper packed show for listeners this week. As always. Going to start off by talking about a brand new telescope that is getting launched   not launched into space, but launched into its mission, at Siding   Spring Observatory in north-western New South Wales. And we're going to talk about whether we should be looking closer to the sun to find near Earth objects.<br />Andrew:  We will also be answering some audience questions. Andrew from Vancouver is following up what happens next with the New Horizons probe because it's sort of finished its mission couple of years ago. And Neil in Sydney says the sun sucks. Why?

Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. Hope you’re well, and I hope you can join us on the next episode, episode 315, because we’ve got a lot to talk about. And joining me will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What's coming up?<br />Fred: It we've got a bumper packed show for listeners this week. As always. Going to start off by talking about a brand new telescope that is getting launched   not launched into space, but launched into its mission, at Siding   Spring Observatory in north-western New South Wales. And we're going to talk about whether we should be looking closer to the sun to find near Earth objects.<br />Andrew:  We will also be answering some audience questions. Andrew from Vancouver is following up what happens next with the New Horizons probe because it's sort of finished its mission couple of years ago. And Neil in Sydney says the sun sucks. Why? We will tell you on the next edition of Space Nuts. Download from your favorite podcast distributor.<br />For more Space Nuts, visit our websites.

Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. Hope you can join us on episode 314, where I'll be joined by Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large, to talk astronomy and space science. What's coming up on 314 Fred.<br />Fred: Great news. We're going to look at the rest of the images that the James Webb telescope has sent back, those fantastic images of nebulae and galaxies, as well as a new one of the planet Jupiter. And then we're going to do a story that I think is fascinating. It's about Pinpointing, the exact crater on Mars from which a meteorite that landed on the Earth started its journey. An incredible piece of detective work. All coming up on Space Nuts.<br />Andrew: In the words of Monty Python, it's spate us in the face, it did. Yes. We'll also be answering questions from Mark in Quebec about what happens to Earth if it gets touched by a black hole. I don't think anyone wants to know. And Rusty wants to talk about quasars. So I hope you can join us on the next episode of Space Nuts, Episode 314.

Andrew Dunkley here from Space Nuts. Hope you can join us on episode 313 where I'll be joined by none other than the good Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Fred. What's on this edition.<br />Fred: The big story of the moment, 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.<br />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.

What's coming up on episode 310, Fred?<br />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? <br />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.

We're going to talk about micrometeoroid that dinged the James Webb Space Telescope. <br />We're going to talk about NASA introducing a study to look at unidentified aerial phenomena. <br />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.  <br />Andrew: Wow. Gee, that doesn't sound too nice, actually. <br />Fred: If it's a fast growing black hole, we know what they're all about. <br />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.
