S27E76: Earth's Ancient Fresh Water, Inner Core Slowdown, and Interstellar Cloud Climate Impact

24 juni 2024 | 30 min

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 76, where we delve into the latest groundbreaking discoveries in planetary science and astronomy.
First, scientists have uncovered evidence that fresh water existed on Earth about 4 billion years ago, pushing back the timeframe for the potential emergence of life by 500 million years. This discovery, based on zircon crystal analysis from the Jack Hills formation in Western Australia, challenges the long-held belief that Earth was entirely covered by oceans at that time. The study's findings suggest that fresh water and land masses existed much earlier, setting the stage for life to flourish.
Next, new research indicates that the rotation of Earth's inner core has slowed down compared to the planet's surface. This discovery, reported in the journal Nature, shows that the inner core began to decelerate around 2010, moving slower than the Earth's mantle and crust for the first time in decades. The implications of this change are still being explored, but it may ultimately affect the length of the day.
Finally, a new study suggests that Earth's encounter with dense interstellar clouds 2 million years ago may have significantly altered the planet's climate. The research, published in Nature Astronomy, posits that these clouds could have compressed the heliosphere, exposing Earth to increased levels of cosmic rays and altering its climatic conditions.

19 juni 2024 | 28 min

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 74, where we explore the latest cosmic discoveries and advancements in space exploration.
First, astronomers have discovered water frost on the solar system's tallest volcanoes, including Olympus Mons on Mars. This groundbreaking find challenges existing ideas about the red planet's climate dynamics and suggests the presence of water frost near the Martian equator for the first time. The study, led by Domus Valentinus, reveals that this frost is incredibly thin, likely only 100th of a millimeter thick, and consists of at least 150,000 tons of water that cycles between the surface and the atmosphere during the cold seasons.
Next, we delve into the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission, which aims to study the sun's outer atmosphere or corona. This innovative mission involves two spacecraft flying in formation to create an artificial solar eclipse, allowing for sustained study of the sun's faint coronal atmosphere. The mission will launch aboard an Indian PSLV rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre and will demonstrate the precise positioning of two orbiting platforms.
Finally, Virgin Galactic has successfully completed its final space tourism flight before a two-year pause to upgrade its fleet. The Galactic 7 mission carried two pilots and two passengers to the edge of space, marking the end of operations for VSS Unity. The company will now focus on developing its next-generation Delta-class space planes, which are expected to enter commercial operations in 2026.

S27E73: Dark Matter Mysteries and Martian Lake Myths Debunked

17 juni 2024 | 34 min

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 73, where we delve into the latest cosmic discoveries and advancements shaping our understanding of the universe.
First, astronomers have developed a new theory of dark matter to explain the mysterious dwarf galaxy Crater 2. Despite its proximity at 383,000 light-years from Earth and its large size—making it the fourth largest satellite galaxy orbiting the Milky Way—Crater 2 has a surprisingly low surface brightness and velocity dispersion. This has led scientists to propose the self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) theory, which may better account for the galaxy's unusual properties.
Next, new research dismisses the idea of a lake under the Martian south polar ice cap. Instead, it suggests that the bright radar reflections previously interpreted as liquid water are likely due to resolution interference between radio waves. This finding, based on computer simulations, challenges the notion of subsurface liquid water on Mars.
Finally, we highlight the development of a new daytime optical telescope, the Huntsman, which allows astronomers to observe celestial objects even when the sun is high overhead. This groundbreaking instrument, located at Siding Spring Observatory, uses an array of camera lenses designed for ultra-sensitive night sky observations but can also accurately measure stars and satellites during daylight.

The First Mars Sample Return Mission In a notable step towards further exploration of Mars, NASA and the European Space Agency have initiated a mission to bring back samples from the Red Planet. This challenging endeavor will require at least two more Earth to Mars flights, with the Mars Perseverance Rover currently being used to collect half of the samples, while the other half will be gathered using a Mars Descent Vehicle. During the SpaceTime podcast, the host, Stuart Gary discusses the intricacies of this ambitious mission. To achieve their objective, the Mars Ascent Vehicle will launch into space and reunite with the prepositioned Earth Return Orbiter. Before returning to Earth, the sample will be sealed in a special biocontainment system to ensure no contamination from unsterilized Martian material occurs. Once the Earth Entry capsule descends through a parachute, scientists can then begin studying the prized Martian samples. Increased understanding of the potential role of iron particles in the formation of organic compounds, leading to insights into the emergence of life. Research into the emergence of life on Earth never ceases to fascinate and intrigue both scientists and enthusiasts alike. The latest breakthrough in this field revolves around the potential role of iron particles in the formation of organic compounds, which paved the way for the appearance of life on Earth. . Fungal Threats and the Last of Us Zombie apocalypses may seem like a figment of fiction, but the science behind some fungi's ability to manipulate animal behavior is quite real. These fungi can pose significant threats to animals and have a profound impact on their behavior and actions, bringing into focus the idea of infectious, zombie-like control over them. In the SpaceTime podcast, host Stuart Gary and guest Tim Mendham explore the fascinating world of fungal threats to animals. Citing a study about a fungus called alpha cordisps unilateralis, they discussed its impact on ants: forcing them to climb up plants, drop down, and then spread more of the fungi. While it may not transform animals into actual zombies, the duo emphasized the potential risks some fungi pose and their consequences on affected species.

Earth’s Magnetic Poles Aren’t About To Flip

15 juni 2022 | 31 min

SpaceTime Series 25 Episode 65
*New study says Earth’s magnetic poles aren’t about to flip
A new study claims the South Atlantic Anomaly -- a mysterious region where the Earth’s geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly – does not mean the planet’s poles are about to flip polarity. The findings reported in the journal PNAS pieces together evidence stretching back 9,000 years and suggests that the current changes aren’t unique, and that a reversal may not be in the cards after all.
*Discovery that Mercury has magnetic storms
A new study has confirmed that Mercury the nearest planet to the Sun and the solar system’s smallest planet, has geomagnetic storms similar to those on Earth. The findings reported in the journal Nature Communications answers the question of whether other planets, including those outside our solar system, can have geomagnetic storms regardless of the size of their magnetosphere or whether they have an Earth-like ionosphere.
*Striving for the Moon
When the crew of Apollo 17 blasted off from the surface of the Moon in 1972 no one thought it would be over half a century before people returned. As political priorities changed on Earth -- the Moon was forgotten and a generation of scientific endeavour was moth balled.

About I Know What Scares You
Hosted by science writer Brian Dunning, mentalist Jonathan Pritchard, anthropologist and comedian Natalia Reagan, and science expert Dr. Kiki Sanford—“I Know What Scares You” asks guests and listeners to tap into their deepest fears. Special guests relay personal stories of real-life paranormal, inexplicable, or simply terrifying experiences that actually happened to them. The show’s team of expert hosts then attempt to find a rational solution to the mysterious incidents. Each week the program hosts put their various expertise together to collectively come up with an explanation that checks all the boxes and, hopefully, gives a guest a new perspective on their unexplainable experience.

Stream podcast episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly). *A huge dust storm on Mars bringing a halt to scientific research One of the thickest dust storms ever observed on Mars has been spreading over the face of the red planet – forcing NASA to suspend science operations of its Mars Opportunity rover. However, the swirling dust storm has opened a window for four other spacecraft to learn more about the event. *Cosmic dust grains older than the solar system Scientists have found what appear to be interplanetary dust particles which predate the birth of the solar system -- some 4.6 billion years ago. The discovery opens a new window in understanding the processes which led to the solar system’s formation. *Six more Milky Way galactic collisions revealed Astronomers have discovered evidence of a series of at least six galactic collisions involving the Milky Way. The intergalactic crashes were revealed in relics of the merger events in the Milky Way’s galactic halo. *Rocket rules face a major shake-up The Federal Government is introducing new legislation designed to make it easier to launch spacecraft from Australian soil. The new regulations -- are part of a major shake-up for Australia’s stagnant space industry which long ago lost the glory of its heyday during the 1960’s and early 70’s when Australia became only the fourth nation on Earth to build a satellite and have it launched into orbit from its own soil. *Crew change aboard the International Space Station. There’s been a busy change of crews aboard the International Space Station. Just days after the Expedition 54/55 crew members returned safely to Earth following their 168 day stay aboard the International Space station – the Expedition 56/57 crew blasted into space for their own six-month stay aboard the orbiting outpost.

46: Possible Solution to Dark Matter

14 juni 2018 | 32 min

*Discovery of a potential fourth type of neutrino – and possibly the solution to Dark Matter Dark matter -- one of the biggest questions in astronomy and physics may just have been solved -- in what could be the most important discovery since the accelerating expansion of the universe – finding the Higgs Boson -- and the detection of gravitational waves. Scientists may just have discovered a potential fourth type of neutrino – which could be the hypothetical sterile neutrino particle -- considered by many as the particle responsible for Dark Matter. *NASA finds ancient organic material and methane on Mars NASA's Curiosity rover has found organic molecules in 3-billion-year-old sedimentary rocks just below the Martian surface. While not evidence of life itself -- the new findings provide further circumstantial evidence supporting the hypothesis that the red planet could have supported life. *New Climate Change satellite launched SpaceX has successfully launched NASA’s latest twin GRACE satellites to study ongoing environmental changes as the impacts of global warming continue to worsen.

*The most sensitive ever Dark Matter search gets underway Scientists have begun their most sensitive ever search for a possible Dark Matter candidate called the Axion. *How humans touched the edge of space Why high altitude balloons still plan a important role in space sciences *How man has touched the edge of space Man’s first attempts to touch the edge of space was a two pronged effort. Captured NAZI V2 rockets allowed scientists to get brief glimpses of space and the curvature of the Earth as these missiles travelled along ballistic trajectories. But for longer duration scientific studies – researchers relied on high altitude balloons to carry scientific payloads and even people to the edge of space. *Studying the gamma ray skies Gamma rays are the most energetic forms of electromagnetic radiation and are emitted by some of the most powerful events in the universe. Now, a team of astronomers have published 14 papers in a special issue of the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics covering some fifteen years of gamma ray observations of the Milky Way. *Atlas V 551 flexes it muscles on air force launch The most powerful version of the Atlas V rocket equipped with now fewer than five strap-on solid rocket boosters was needed to provide enough thrust to lift the United States Air Force Space Command’s AFSPC-11 mission into orbit. You tube video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOzEhhnnUlk *Russia launches new military satellite Russia’s Proton-M rocket has made its first flight in half a year placing a new military telecommunications satellite into orbit. *The Science Report The Northern Territory Government lifts its ban on fracking.

19 mars 2018 | 24 min

*New studies suggest the Moon has loads of water A new analysis of data from two lunar missions finds evidence that the Moon's water is widely distributed across the surface and not confined to a particular region or type of terrain. The findings indicate that lunar water appears to be present, though it's not necessarily easily accessible. *Gravity’s effect on time Professor Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity has passed yet another test with scientists building the world’s first portable strontium laser lattice optical atomic clock and using it to measure time dilation in a gravitational field. Among its many predictions is that the passage of time changes in relation to a gravitational field – time moves slower the closer you are to a massive object. *Long-Lived Mars Rover Opportunity Keeps Finding Surprises NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity keeps providing surprises about the Red Planet, most recently with observations of possible "rock stripes." *The Science Report Vitamin D may help prevent heart failure after heart attack.

11: New study challenges popular theory about dwarf galaxies

9 februari 2018 | 28 min

*New study challenges popular theory about dwarf galaxies Existing hypothesis about how dwarf galaxies are spread across the universe is being challenged following the discovery of a plane of dwarf galaxies orbiting around Centaurus A. The findings challenge the long-held idea there are thousands of dwarf galaxies in all directions around large galaxies -- like bees swarming around a hive.*A new theory to explain the discovery of matter in hostile black hole winds Scientists have developed a new hypothesis to try to explain the origins of molecules discovered in the destructive cosmic outflows produced by supermassive black holes. If correct it could explain how stars form in extreme environments. *Arianespace places satellites into wrong orbits Arianespace has set up an independent investigation commission chaired by ESA’s General Inspector after its first launch for the year placed two telecommunications satellites into the wrong orbits. Video at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g47aftHgOnk *NASA goes for GOLD NASA has successfully powered up its Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk instrument aboard the SES-14 telecommunications satellite. *New eye in the sky to watch for enemy missiles The United States has launched a new missile early warning satellite from the Cape Canaveral Airforce base in Florida. The Space Based Infrared System GEO-4 is part of a constellation of satellites designed to detect and track enemy missile launches by their infrared heat signatures. Video at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1sVpMN52Ro *America launches another spy satellite America’s secretive National Reconnaissance Office has launched a new spy satellite. The classified NROL- 47 payload was launched from Space Launch Complex 6 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Video at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMbfnI_uODw *China launches three new spy satellites Beijing has launched three more signals intelligence spy satellites for the Chinese military. Beijing describes the satellites as part of a remote sensing mission used to conduct electromagnetic and other experiments. What they’re actually doing is searching for signals intelligence data from foreign powers. *The Science report Alex on tech looks at wearable ID devices.

10: New evidence that our galaxy is a cannibal

7 februari 2018 | 31 min

*New evidence that our galaxy is a cannibal Astronomers have discovered evidence confirming that the outer halo of the Milky Way contains stars stolen from neighbouring dwarf galaxies. The new findings support the idea of galactic cannibalism in which big galaxies grow bigger by merging or consuming smaller galaxies. *All systems go for Falcon heavy Space X is about to launch its largest and most powerful rocket ever -- the Falcon Heavy. The new 70 metre tall launch vehicle combines three Falcon 9 core stages mounted side by side. Instead of the usual dummy payload packed with scientific monitoring equipment – SpaceX boss Elon Musk is sending his own midnight cherry Tesla Roadster with David Bowie’s Space Oddity playing through the speakers. *Scientists discover how black holes regulate star formation in massive galaxies For year astronomers have noticed a direct relationship between the size of a galaxy and the mass of the supermassive black hole at its centre -- But the machinations of how it all worked has been more of a mystery. Now a new study has provided direct observational evidence that the mass of the central black hole affects the formation of new stars throughout the galaxy’s lifetime.*The Science Report The biological markers in blood plasma which could provide an early warning of Alzheimer’s disease.

*New Zealand reaches orbit New Zealand has successfully placed a spacecraft into orbit for the first time. Rocket Lab’s unmanned Electron launch vehicle – named Still Testing – blasted off from the Lift off Mahia Peninsula launch pad on Sunday afternoon. You tube video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPcsZgmTRrg *Black hole burping Astronomers have caught a monster black hole in a distant galaxy snacking on gas and then "burping" — not once, but twice. The findings show two separate episodes of feeding frenzy by the supermassive black hole about 800 million light-years away. *The changing Sun Like the waistband of a couch potato in midlife, the orbits of planets in our solar system are expanding. It happens because the Sun’s gravitational grip gradually weakens as our star ages and loses mass. *Tiangong-1 crashing back to Earth Chinese space officials say their Tiangong 1 space station is still under control and will likely crash back to Earth in mid to late March. However, their inability to provide an exact schedule for the orbiter’s return continues to raise concerns about the likelihood of an imminent uncontrolled re-entry. *China launches new navigation satellites China has launched its latest pair of Beidou-3 navigation satellites into orbit. The spacecraft were launched on a Long March-3B rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in Sichuan province. *Virgin Galactic test flight Virgin Galactic has carried out its first spaceplane drop glide test for 2018\. The VSS Unity achieved Mach zero point nine in the skies above California’s Mojave Desert. *Mystery surrounds SpaceX Zuma mission US Government officials are still refusing to say what happened to the top secret SpaceX Zuma mission which is suspected to have failed to deploy after reaching orbit. You tube video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CArCgeXn3AQ *Dragon returns home The SpaceX CRS 13 capsule has returned to Earth splashing down successfully in the North Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja, California. The Dragon was undocked from the Harmony module’s nadir port by the space stations robotic arm and then released to fire its manoeuvring thrusters for the first of three burns to slowly push away from the space station.

6: Setting a size limit on neutron stars

24 januari 2018 | 31 min

*Setting a size limit on neutron stars A new study claims super dense stellar corpses known as neutron stars couldn’t get much bigger than twice the mass of the Sun. The findings solve a forty year old mystery that’s baffled scientists ever since neutron stars were first discovered. *New clues about the recipe for making stars Astronomers have shed fresh light on the importance of hydrogen atoms in the birth of new stars. Only hydrogen molecules are thought to directly fuel star formation. But new research shows there are more hydrogen atoms than molecules even in young galaxies that are making a lot of new stars. *Midwest Meteor The citizenry of the American mid-west have been treated to an unexpected celestial spectacular with the evening skies lit up by a bright meteor and sonic boom. People in the states of Ohio and Michigan and across the border in Ontario Canada witnessed the event around 8’0 clock local time. *No link between earthquakes and the full Moon A new study has provided more evidence to dispel an enduring myth that large earthquakes tend to happen during certain phases of the Moon or at certain times during the year. The findings confirm that this bit of earthquake lore is incorrect. *Titan has a sea level just like Earth A new study has confirmed that just like Earth – Saturn’s moon Titan has a sea level. The discovery adds to a growing list of similarities between Earth has this hostile alien world. *The Science Report 2017 confirmed as one of the three warmest years on record.

4: New clues about mysterious Fast Radio Bursts

17 januari 2018 | 34 min

*New clues about mysterious Fast Radio Bursts Astronomers have discovered new clues about mysterious cosmic blasts called Fast Radio Bursts – finding they originate from an environment bathed in extreme magnetic fields. While the new findings don’t shed any fresh light on what causes them – the research has provided some new insights to the deep space environment in which they occur. *Underground Martian water ice deposits exposed New images have revealed eight sites on Mars where thick subsurface deposits of water ice have been exposed on the cliff faces of eroding slopes. As well as holding clues about the red planet’s climate history – the findings also show how frozen water may be far more accessible for future missions to Mars than previously thought. *The universe has far more massive stars than expected Astronomers have discovered an excess of massive stars being formed in a giant stellar nursery in our neighbouring galaxy -- the Large Magellanic cloud. The findings are based on observations of 30 Doradus -- the Tarantula nebula –the biggest star-forming region in our part of the universe and host to some of the most massive stars ever found. *Tabby’s star just dusty New research has supported earlier studies indicating strange uneven and sporadic variations in the light coming from a distant star is most likely just dust. For the last few years astronomers and the general public have been captivated by the mysterious changes in brightness coming from the star now commonly referred to as Tabby’s Star. *The Science Report New figures confirm 2017 was Australia’s third hottest year on record. A new study warns ibuprofen pain killers can affect male fertility. The probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri has the potential to provide an effective treatment for colic.

*Black holes control star formation in galaxies Astronomers have discovered a close correlation between the mass of a galaxy’s central black hole and how quickly that galaxy shunts down star formation. Young galaxies blaze with bright new stars forming at a rapid rate, but star formation eventually shuts down or quenches as galaxies evolves. *The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program via Space Nuts podcast The United States military has confirmed the existence of a modern-day version of Project Blue Book. Project blue book was a program run by the US Air Force during the 1960s to deal with reports of flying saucers and other Unidentified Flying Objects. *The Science Report Over a quarter of the world's landmass to become significantly drier because of global warming.

2: Solving the mystery of what came first.

5 januari 2018 | 27 min

*Solving the mystery of what came first? Astronomers may be a step closer to solving one of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics – which came first the galaxy – or the supermassive black hole at its centre. The problem is do galaxies form first from the accumulation of stars, globular clusters, and molecular gas and dust clouds -- with densities at the galactic centre eventually becoming so high it forms a black hole. *Supermassive black hole stellar factory Astronomers have discovered 11 newly formed infant protostars within three light years of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Black holes generate powerful gravitational tidal forces and intense ultraviolet and X-ray radiation – environments far more conducive to destroying stars rather than creating them. *Mars may not be as dry as it seems A new study suggests water on Mars is being absorbed by the red planet’s rocks like a sponge. The findings reported in the journal Nature suggest that Martian basalt rocks can hold up to 25 percent more water than similar basalts on Earth. *SpaceX to launch Falcon Heavy shortly After more than 12 years of planning and development Space X is finally getting ready to fly its new Falcon Heavy launch vehicle. The 70-metre-tall reusable rocket is based around three Falcon 9 common booster core stages -- mounted side by side in a similar fashion to the Delta 4 heavy -- from which it will take the title as the world’s most powerful operational launch vehicle.

1: Fireworks predicted from Rare Stellar Encounter in 2018

3 januari 2018 | 31 min

Happy New Year!*Fireworks predicted from Rare Stellar Encounter in 2018 Astronomers are gearing up for high-energy fireworks in the next few months when a pulsar plows through the outer atmosphere of one of the galaxy’s brightest stars. The cosmic light show spectacular will occur just 5000 light years from Earth – astronomers aren’t sure exactly when – but it will be soon. *Bright Areas on Ceres Suggest Geologic Activity If you could fly aboard NASA's Dawn spacecraft, the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres would generally look quite dark, but with notable exceptions. These exceptions are the hundreds of bright areas that stand out in images Dawn has returned. *2018 promises to be another stellar year for astronomy There’ll be three partial Solar Eclipse in 2018. And as solar eclipses always occur about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse there’ll be a couple of total lunar eclipses as well. *Cometary close encounter The next big cometary visitor scheduled to make a close encounter with Earth is the comet 46P/Wirtanen which will appear in time for Christmas 2018. *The Science Report A new study confirms that gay kids are far more likely to commit suicide. Same sex couples are generally happier than straight or bi couples. Climate change made Hurricane Harvey three times more likely and 15 percent more intense. New computer simulations provide some surprises about the Yellowstone super volcano. Humans may have reached their maximum limits for height, lifespan and physical performance. Experts warn of a significant peak in chocolate poisoning for dogs and cats over the holidays.

100: NASA looking at missions to a comet and Saturn’s moon Titan

29 december 2017 | 39 min

*NASA looking at missions to a comet and to Saturn’s moon Titan NASA has selected two finalist concepts for a robotic mission planned to launch in the mid-2020s. The agency is considering a comet sample return mission and a drone-like rotorcraft that would explore potential landing sites on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. *Was the star of Bethlehem a real thing? For astronomy the idea of three wise men being guided by a star to a stable in a little town called Bethlehem two thousand years ago raises a number of problems. But let’s for a moment just suppose it really happened -- So, what star were they following? *ET’s not calling Scientists say they’ve detected no alien signals or any evidence of extraterrestrial technology coming from the strange cigar shaped interstellar visitor which speed through our solar system in September and October. The 400 metre long 40 metre wide asteroid designated A/2017 U1 and named Oumuamua the Hawaiian name meaning "messenger" or "scout"— has been the centre of astronomical attention ever since its unexpected detection. *Skywatch January We turn our eyes to the skies and check out the celestial sphere for January on Skywatch with the Quadrantids meteor shower to light up the skies as well as another super moon and total lunar eclipse.

27 december 2017 | 33 min

*Artificial Intelligence used to discover an eighth exoplanet orbiting a distant star. Our solar system now is tied for most number of planets around a single star, following the discovery of an eighth planet orbiting the Sun like star Kepler-90 some 2,545 light years away in the constellation Draco. The planet was discovered in data from NASA's planet hunting Kepler Space Telescope. *NASA’s mission to asteroid 16 Psyche NASA has accelerated its plans to send a spacecraft to the asteroid 16 Psyche. The mission which was slated to launch in 2023 will now fly a year earlier. *Expedition 54 crew blasts into orbit Three expedition 54 crew members have blasted into orbit on a two day flight to the International Space Station. The new crew members will join three existing expedition 53/54 crew conducting some 250 science experiments in microgravity. *Soyuz touches down safely Three Expedition 52 crew members have returned safely to Earth after five months in orbit aboard the International Space Station. Their Soyuz MS-05 capsule touched down on the frozen early morning Kazakhstan Stepp four hours after undocking from the orbiting outpost. *The Science Report What may be the earliest direct evidence of life on Earth may have been discovered in Western Australia.

98: Juno probes the depths of Jupiter's Great Red Spot

22 december 2017 | 24 min

*Juno probes the depths of Jupiter's Great Red Spot Data collected by NASA's Juno spacecraft during its first pass over Jupiter's Great Red Spot in July indicate that this iconic feature penetrates well below the clouds. Other revelations from the mission include that Jupiter has two previously uncharted radiation zones. *Life discovered living on just thin air Scientists have discovered microbes that literally live on thin air. 01The findings have implications for the search for life on other planets, suggesting extra-terrestrial microbes could also rely on trace atmospheric gases for survival. *Claims that Mars does have a protective magnetosphere after all A new study claims the Martian atmosphere is well protected from the effects of the solar wind despite the absence of a global Earth-like magnetic field. While Mars now lacks Earth’s geodynamo driven magnetic field, the Sun’s solar wind instead induces currents in the ionized upper Martian atmosphere -- creating an induced magnetosphere. *Sceptics guide to Christmas Eran Segev joins us to look at the real origins of Christmas For enhanced Show Notes including photos to accompany this episode, visit: http://www.bitesz.com/spacetimeshownotes Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Google Podcasts, Stitcher, PocketCasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, Spreaker etc Would you prefer to have access to the special commercial free version of SpaceTime?

20 december 2017 | 31 min

*Voyager 1 Fires Up Thrusters After 37 Years If you tried to start a car that's been sitting in a garage for decades, you might not expect the engine to respond. But a set of thrusters aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft successfully fired up Wednesday after 37 years without use. Voyager 1, NASA's farthest and fastest spacecraft, is the only human-made object in interstellar space, the environment between the stars. *Back to the Moon as well as to Mars and beyond The United States is returning humans to the Moon. President Donald Trump signed Space Policy Directive 1 at the White House, which is designed to refocus national space policy, with a U.S. led, integrated program involving the private sector and international partners for a human return to the Moon, followed by missions to Mars and beyond. *The night skies are getting brighter The night skies are getting brighter – and it’s our increased efforts to get rid of inefficient incandescent lighting replacing them with eco-friendly LED lights that’s become part of the problem. Between 2012 to 2016, the artificially lit area of the Earth's surface grew by 2.2 percent per year *Europe pushes ahead with new launch systems and reusable spacecraft The European Space Agency is moving forward with plans to develop new versions of its Vega rocket launch system and a new reusable capsule to take payloads into orbit and return them to the surface. *China’s busy 2017 launch manifest continues China’s 15th launch for 2017 has successfully carried Algeria’s first telecommunications satellite into orbit. *Russian spy satellite launched A Soyuz rocket carrying a secret military spy satellite has successfully blasted into orbit from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia’s far north. The launch came just a week after the failure of another Soyuz to place 19 satellites into orbit from Russia’s new Vostochny Cosmodrome. *The Science Report Scientists are keeping a close eye on a new bird flu strain developing in China. A new study says planet Earth has entered a new geological age --The Anthropocene Epoch. A snapshot of the nation’s use of illegal drugs. Scientists sequence the genetic make-up of the Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger. Forget wind farms -- new climate projections warn winds will decrease across the Northern Hemisphere.

96: Earliest supermassive black hole ever seen

15 december 2017 | 26 min

Stream episodes on demand via www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly) *Earliest supermassive black hole ever seen Astronomers have discovered a monstrous supermassive black hole some 800 million times the mass of the Sun in the very early universe -- just 690 million years after the big bang. The observations represents the most distant supermassive black hole ever detected. *Rare glimpse of the magnetic field around a black hole A sudden flare and cooling of gas has given astronomers a rare glimpse of the magnetic field around a black hole. The findings indicate the gravity well’s magnetic field is far weaker than expected. *Massive primordial galaxies discovered swimming in a vast ocean of dark matter Astronomers have been astounded by the discovery of two massive primordial galaxies swimming in a vast ocean of dark matter near the dawn of time – just 780 million years after the big bang. The findings are forcing scientists to go back to the drawing board to explain how such massive objects could have formed so soon after the universe was born 13.8 billion years ago. *Strange clouds discovered in the Milky Way A new cosmic map of high velocity gas clouds has uncovered several within the Milky Way which are moving in a different direction to the rest of the galaxy. The findings raise questions about the mysterious clouds origins.

Stream episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly) *Infant stars discovered near supermassive black hole Astronomers have discovered 11 newly formed infant protostars where they shouldn’t exist – right next to the monstrous supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. The findings have shocked scientists as regions around black holes are wracked by powerful gravitational tidal forces and bathed in intense ultraviolet and X-ray radiation -- generating extremely harsh conditions which shouldn’t favour star formation. *Rosetta gives a recipe for making a comet. Scientists have developed the recipe for making a comet. The findings based on data from the Rosetta spacecraft provides the first quantitative analysis of the chemical elements that make up the cometary dust of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. *Buccaneer in stable orbit Mission managers at the University of New South Wales say the Buccaneer satellite has attained stable orbit and is operating nominally. Buccaneer was deployed aboard the joint NASA-NOAA JPSS-1 weather satellite mission which flew from Space Launch Complex 2W at the Vandenberg Airforce base in California last month. *Russian Rocket launch failure after wrong co-ordinates programmed Russia’s second launch from its shiny new Vostochny cosmodrome in country’s far east has ended in a multi-million-dollar disaster losing the mission’s 19 satellites. Early indications point to the wrong settings being programmed into the Soyuz Fregat upper stage booster causing the mission to crash and burn. *The latest on North Korea’s new Hwasong-15 Intercontinental ballistic missile Pyongyang’s new images showing its new Hwason-15 missile far more than just an improvement in design over the Hwasong-14 flown in July.

93: The universe before the big bang

1 december 2017 | 39 min

*The universe before the big bang A new hypothesis is proposing to eliminate the need for cosmological spacetime singularity and with it the big bang which kicked of the cosmos 13.8 billion years ago. Instead, physicists suggest the universe’s current expansion phase was preceded by a big crunch contraction and possibly a bouncing universe with infinite prior cycles of expansion and contraction. *The next nearest planet to our solar system A temperate Earth-sized planet has been discovered just 11 light-years away. The new world named Ross 128 b is currently the second-closest temperate planet ever detected – the nearest being Proxima b which orbits the star Proxima Centauri some 4.25 light years from Earth. *Dawn explores Ceres’ interior evolution Scientists have begun studying the internal structure and composition of the dwarf planet Ceres finding a close relationship between its internal evolution and its surface features. The findings used data collected by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft to analyse Ceres’ surface features revealing clues about the dwarf planet’s interior evolution. *Blue Origin to Launch its New Glenn Rocket in 2020 Blue Origin claims its massive heavy lift New Glenn rocket should be ready for its maiden flight in 2020.

92: New questions about dark matter and dark energy

29 november 2017 | 41 min

Stream episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly) *New questions about dark matter and dark energy A new study is raising fresh questions about dark matter and dark energy -- two of the most mysterious and least understood features in the universe. A new hypothesis attempts to explain both the accelerating expansion of the universe and the movement of stars in galaxies without needing to draw on the concepts of dark matter and dark energy. *Murchison Widefield Array construction completes phase two The Murchison Widefield Array has reached a key milestone in its ongoing development, with the completion of its phase two expansion. The work which has taken nearly 16 months, includes 128 new antenna stations at the observatory site in outback Western Australia. *Is antimatter the hidden face of lightning Terrestrial Gamma Rays Flashes produced in lightning from thunderstorms can also generate antimatter. New research claims Terrestrial Gamma Rays Flashes react with the air to produce radioisotopes and positrons -- the antimatter counterpart of electrons. *Trojan Martian asteroids created by sunlight A new study claims some of the trojan asteroids orbiting with Mars could have been created by sunlight. While many of the Sun’s family of planets have trojans – Mars is the only terrestrial planet known to have trojans in stable orbits. *China 14th rocket launch for 2017 China’s busy rocket launch program is still in top gear with it 14th launch for 2017 blasting in to orbit. The latest mission – the third for the month -- involved a Long March 2C rocket flying from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwestern China’s Sichuan province. *The Science Report Earth about to enter a mild La Nina weather pattern either in late December or early 2018. 40 per cent of adolescents with food allergies are experiencing frequent allergic reactions.

91: Recurring Martian Streaks could be just sand rather than water

24 november 2017 | 47 min

*Recurring Martian Streaks could be just sand rather than water A new study claims dark streaks often seen on the Sun facing slopes of Martian gullies and ravines could be caused by moving sand rather than melting sub-surface permafrost. The conclusions provide an alternative to previous speculation that the features – known as recurring slope lineae or RSLs – were caused by flowing meltwater from permafrost layers seeping out from the sides of gullies and ravines. *Could cosmic dust be transporting life between worlds? A new study suggests that life on Earth might have originated from biological particles brought to the planet in streams of cosmic dust particles. The findings would mean fast-moving flows of interplanetary dust that continually bombard Earth’s atmosphere could deliver tiny organisms from far-off worlds, or send Earth-based organisms to other planets, according to the research. *Listening for alien signals. Way back on August the 15th 1977 astronomers at Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope supporting the SETI Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence picked up a strange and very strong narrow band radio signal coming from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. Now a new campaign is underway to listen for alien signals – not from Sagittarius but from M-31 Andromeda. *NASA Launches NOAA Weather Satellite to Improve Forecasts The penultimate launch of a Delta II rocket has successfully placed the first of a new generation of advanced weather satellites into a Sun synchronous orbit. The Joint Polar Satellite System-1 or JPSS-1 blasted into deep black early morning skies from the Vandenberg Air Force base in California. *Maxus-9 provides a little microgravity The European Space Agency has launched a Maxus sounding rocket to see how microgravity effects microorganisms. The mission which blasted off from Sweden’s Esrange Space Center-- flew on a sub-orbital ballistic trajectory delivering its five onboard experiments to the edge of space. *The Science Report A new weapon in the fight against peanut allergies. The link between mother’s weight during pregnancy and life-threatening childbirth complications. Just like people new studies show Budgies sweat. NASA finds a mantle plume deep below Antarctica's Marie Byrd Land. Health experts urging governments to consider suing big tobacco over public health costs.

90: More clues about our interstellar visitor

22 november 2017 | 35 min

*More clues about our interstellar visitor Astronomers have released new details about a mysterious interstellar visitor which sped through our solar system during September and October. The new observations show the object -- known as 1i/2017 U1 -- measures some 180 by 30 meters and is shaped like a fat cigar, half a city block long. *Why the star Regulus is almost ripping apart A new study of the star Regulus indicates it’s almost spinning fast enough to literally rip itself apart. The findings reported in the journal Nature Astronomy show the star has a spin rate of 96.5 per cent of its angular velocity needed for break-up. *Another gravity wave discovery from merging black holes Scientists have confirmed another detection of gravitational waves generated by the collision of two stellar mass back holes. This latest detection involved the merger of two relatively light black holes, with 7 and 12 times the mass of the Sun -- a billion light years away. *Pluto’s freezer explained A new study of Pluto’s atmosphere may explain why the dwarf planet at the outer rim of the solar system is so much colder than predicted. The findings indicate a novel cooling mechanism controlled by haze particles could account for Pluto’s frigid atmosphere. *Pulsars ruled out of antimatter excess Scientists have ruled out two nearby pulsars as possible sources for a mysterious excess of anti-matter particles discovered near Earth.

89: Monster planet discovery rewrites the text books

17 november 2017 | 48 min

*Monster planet discovery rewrites the text books Astronomers have discovered a large Jupiter sized planet orbiting around a small red dwarf star. It’s the first time such a large planet has been seen orbiting such a low mass host star. *Possible ancient ocean remnants found on Ceres Scientists have detected widespread reserves of minerals containing water on the dwarf planet Ceres. The discovery by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft suggests that the 945 kilometre wide world may have once had a global ocean and may still have liquid today. *The Rochechouart Astrobleme Geologists have begun an intense core drilling campaign at Rochechouart in central France to study an astrobleme. The Rochechouart Astrobleme is thought to be the remains of a 20 to 30 kilometre wide 207 million year old impact crater. *New clues to the origin of life on Earth Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute have found a compound that may have been a crucial factor in the origins of life on Earth. Origins-of-life researchers have hypothesized that a chemical reaction called phosphorylation may have been crucial for the assembly of three key ingredients in early life forms: *Antares launches Cygnus bound for the International Space Station A Cygnus cargo ship has successfully launched aboard an Antares rocket bound for the International Space Station. The Cygnus OA-8 blasted off from Orbital’s Wallops Island launch pad on the Virginian mid-Atlantic coast on a two-day journey to the orbiting outpost. *Orbital launches Minotaur-C rocket Orbital has launched a Minotaur-C rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California carrying ten new satellites into orbit. The launch system was renamed Minotaur from its original name of Taurus following a series of spectacular launch failures which darkened the Taurus name. The Taurus XL became the Minotaur C, while the Taurus II was renamed the Antares. *The Science Report Eating at night associated with higher risk of heart disease and diabetes. The oldest ocean water dated to over a thousand years of age. Rare stromatolites discovered living in a remote valley deep in the Tasmanian wilderness.

88: The star that wouldn’t die

15 november 2017 | 43 min

*The star that wouldn’t die Astronomers have discovered a zombie star that that appears to have risen from the grave. The strange star appears to have somehow survived its initial brush with death to undertake a second supernova explosion fifty years later. *Hunting dark photons Scientists are searching for signs of new particles that might help fill in some big blanks in sciences understanding of the universe. The new research is hunting for the hiding places for one type of theorized particle known as the dark photon - that was proposed to help explain the mystery of dark matter. *The link between a galaxy’s shape and its spin. Astronomers have discovered a link between a galaxies shape and how fast it rotates. The findings follow the recent discovery by a separate team linking a galaxy’s rotation in a galactic cluster to its mass rather than the density of the surrounding cluster. . *Juno completes its eighth orbit of Jupiter NASA’s Juno spacecraft has successfully completed its eighth swoop down towards the swirling cloud tops of Jupiter -- the solar system’s largest planet. Confirmation of the successful orbit was delayed by several days due to solar conjunction at Jupiter, which affected communications during the days prior to and after the flyby. *Rare white dwarf-brown dwarf binary studied Astronomers have studied a rare White Dwarf – Brown Dwarf binary star system which has shown them how some stars can be demoted into white dwarfs by their companion star’s feeding frenzy. The system is among the lowest mass stellar objects ever observed. *Vega launches new Moroccan spy satellite A Vega rocket has successfully launched a new Moroccan spy satellite. The Mohammed VI-A is the first of two new top secret optical imaging high resolution surveillance satellites being built for the Kingdom of Morocco. *The Science Report Western Australian coral bleaching event now the world’s worst ever. Interleukin-11 could be key to new therapies for heart, lung and kidney diseases. Nuts linked to lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease.

87: Dust cloud discovered around nearest star

10 november 2017 | 43 min

*Dust cloud discovered around nearest star Astronomers have discovered a dust ring around Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun. A report claims the dust ring’s detection could point to a significant planetary system around the star. *Why massive galaxies don't dance in crowds A new study has discovered that the rotational movement of a galaxy in a galactic cluster is determined by its mass rather than galactic density. The findings are based on a detailed study of over than 300 galaxies. *Introducing the quarksplosion Scientists have discovered the quarksplosion -- a blast that could be eight times more powerful than any thermonuclear bomb. Physicists have discovered that fusing two sub atomic elementary particles -- known as beauty or bottom quarks -- could result in the creation of a new primary particle, a secondary particle known as a nucleon and the release of huge amounts of energy -- some eight times more -- than a nuclear fusion reaction. *Powering Enceladus active ocean Heat from friction could power hydrothermal activity on Saturn's moon Enceladus for billions of years if the moon has a highly porous core. The new findings helps resolve a question scientists have grappled with for a decade: Where does the energy to power the extraordinary geologic activity on Enceladus come from? *One of the oldest objects in the universe Astronomers have discovered one of most distant galaxies ever seen dating back some 12.8 billion years. The findings provide new insights into the early history of the universe. *SpaceX make it 16 in a row SpaceX has just launched its 16th rocket this year – new record for the California company which has now flown the Falcon 9 more times than any other launch service provider has flown any other rocket. The SpaceX Falcon 9 blasted off from Kennedy Space Centre pad 39A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida carrying the KoreaSat-5A telecommunications satellite into geostationary transfer orbit. *The Science Report 2017 is on track to be among the hottest years on record. Why push ups and sit ups could add years to your life. Warnings that attempted suicide is significantly more common among those who did badly at school. Why wind farms on mountain ridges could wipe out bat populations. Paleontologists determine the colour patterns of a dinosaur with a striped tail and raccoon like mask.

86: Solving a black hole mystery

3 november 2017 | 55 min

*Solving a black hole mystery Astronomers have for the first time measured the acceleration zone of a powerful jet of plasma being shot deep into space by a feeding black hole. The findings indicate these intense plasma streams are charged within 30 thousand kilometres of the black hole itself. *Mars 2020 Rover will have 23 eyes NASA says improvements in camera technology mean its next rover to Mars will have no fewer than 23 cameras, to create sweeping panoramas, reveal obstacles, study the atmosphere, and assist science instruments. *Rare Mariner’s astrolabe discovered Marine archaeologists have recovered a rare Mariner’s Astrolabe in a shipwreck off the coast of Oman. The astrolabe -- stamped with the Portuguese royal coat of arms -- was found in the wreckage of the 500-year-old Portuguese ship Esmeralda -- part of a fleet of 20 vessels under the command of the explorer Vasco da Gama who in 1498 discovered a direct route from Europe to India. *Strange auroral activity discovered on Jupiter It’s been discovered that Jupiter's intense northern and southern auroral lights pulse independently of each other. The findings indicate that very high-energy X-ray emissions at Jupiter's south pole consistently pulse every 11 minutes. However, those at the Jovian north pole are erratic. *November Skywatch We check out the celestial sphere for November on Skywatch. And just like October -- November see’s three meteor showers -- November Orionids, the Taurids, and the Leonids. *The Science Report Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have now risen to 403.3 parts per million – its highest level in over 800,000 years.

85: First confirmed interstellar visitor to our solar system

31 oktober 2017 | 32 min

*First confirmed interstellar visitor to our solar system Astronomers have confirmed their first interstellar visitor to the solar system. The 400 metre wide newly discovered asteroid or comet has been designated A/2017 U1. *Asteroid Itokawa’s violent past Samples of the Asteroid Itokawa indicate the 500 metre wide space rock has had a violent history. The samples were collected by Japan’s Hayabusa spacecraft in 2005. *Rosetta’s comet provides missing link in planet formation Scientists have confirmed that planets are created by small particles of matter coming together over time to form progressively larger and larger bodies. The findings provide an important missing link in sciences understanding of how planets are formed. *Galaxies wobble at the centres of galaxy clusters Existing models on dark matter claim the super dense cores of the largest galaxy clusters contain massive galaxies with so much dark matter that that they never move. However new observations have shown that this density is much smaller than predicted, and that the galaxies at the centres of these clusters do move -- or at least wobble. *Yellowstone spawned twin super-eruptions that altered global climate Scientists have discovered that the last eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano was a double header event with two massive explosions spaced just 170 years apart. The findings are based on an analysis of volcanic ash which spewed from Yellowstone during the super eruptions 630 thousand years ago. *The Science Report New findings indicate European drought trends are lining up with climate change projections. Evidence that a huge carnivorous dinosaur roamed southern Africa 200 million year ago. Over 100 genetic risk factors linked to asthma, hay fever and eczema.

20 oktober 2017 | 45 min

*First evidence of Quantum fluctuations in deep space Evidence of a strange quantum effect first predicted in the 1930 may have been detected by astronomers studying the light emitted from an extraordinarily dense and strongly magnetised neutron star The polarisation of the observed light suggests that the empty space around the neutron star is subject to a quantum effect known as vacuum birefringence. *Out of control Chinese space station about to crash back to Earth China has confirmed that its Tiangong-1 orbiting space lab is out of control and likely to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere at any moment. Beijing says the eight and a half tone orbiting outpost is expected to re-enter the atmosphere between now and April next year -- depending on orbital decay rates. *Back to the Moon US Vice President Mike Pence has called on NASA to return humans to the Moon. The call comes in the wake of Russia’s announcement that it will join the United States in building the new Deep Space Gateway space station which will be positioned in near lunar space. *How a cold frozen Mars could have carved the planet’s warm wet features Scientists say periodic melting of ice sheets on a cold early Mars would have created enough water to carve the ancient valleys and lakebeds seen on the surface of the red planet today. Water-carved valleys and lakebeds leave little doubt that water once flowed on the surface. *The first detailed spectra of antimatter hydrogen Scientists with the ALPHA Collaboration have successfully obtained the first detailed spectrum of the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen.

79: A possible cradle of life discovered on Mars

11 oktober 2017 | 36 min

*A possible cradle of life discovered on Mars Evidence of massive ancient sea floor hydrothermal vent deposits have been discovered on Mars. Hydrothermal vents found on the mid ocean ridges of Earth, pump a rich chemical soup into the surrounding oceans, which many scientists believe could be where life on Earth began. *Chemical signatures for life discovered near and far Freon-40, a chemical signature of life has been detected -- both around a distant star -- and much closer to home – in a comet orbiting the Sun. The discovery includes the first ever detection of a saturated organohalogen chemical compound in interstellar space. *Cosmic rays from distant galaxies A fifty year long debate has finally been resolved with confirmation that the highest energy cosmic rays originate from sources far beyond our galaxy. The findings are based on the uneven distribution of high energy cosmic rays bombarding the Earth from different positions across the sky. *Mysterious Dimming of Tabby's Star May Be Caused by Dust Astronomers say a large cloud of dust remains the most likely cause for the mysterious changes in brightness effecting Tabby’s Star. The star became famous 2015, when astronomers looking through data from NASA’s planet hunting Kepler Space Telescope reported strange irregular changes in the amount of light coming from the star. *The Science Report Nations with a higher standard of living also have higher rates of cancer. Summer Arctic sea ice could disappear completely because of human induced climate change. Autism less common among the kids of mums who took multivitamins during pregnancy.

78: Narrowing down on Dark Energy

6 oktober 2017 | 32 min

*Narrowing down on Dark Energy A new study looking at pressure waves generated in the primordial universe has revealed possible evidence of dynamical dark energy. The potential discovery means dark energy could behave differently from the cosmological constant model first proposed by Professor Albert Einstein a hundred years ago to allow his general theory of relativity to work in cosmology. *Strange comet like binary asteroid discovered A strange comet like asteroid first discovered more than a decade ago has turned out to actually consist of two asteroids orbiting each. The findings represent the first known binary asteroid also classified as a comet. *More evidence that mega eruptions caused the great dying A team of scientists has found new evidence that the Great Permian Mass Extinction event 250 million years ago, was caused by the massive volcanic eruptions of the Siberian Trap. Known as the great dying – the Permian Mass Extinction killed over 90 percent of all species on Earth. *Deep Space Gateway gains more support Russia has agreed to work with the United States, Europe and Japan in developing the DSG or Deep Space Gateway – a new space station to be built near the Moon. The Deep Space Gateway will be constructed in a Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit which is a Lagrange point between the Earth and Moon where the gravity of both celestial bodies balances out allowing an object to remain in position orbiting the Earth with the Moon. *Gravitational Wave discovery wins Nobel Prize The 2017 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Professors Barry Barish, Kip Thorne and Rainer Weis for their ground breaking work to detect gravitational waves. The team observed gravitational waves generated by the cataclysmic collision of two black holes 1.3 billion light years away. *UNSW to build three new Australian Defense Department satellites The University of New South Wales has won a contract to build three new cubesats for the Australian Air Force for two low Earth orbit space missions for maritime surveillance, and to help protect Australian space systems from orbital debris. The first will launch early next year followed by the second in 2019. *The Science Report Major Australian cities will hit summer temperatures of over 50 degrees Celsius within a few years. Gay and bisexual men making under $30,000 a year are five times as likely to attempt suicide. Kids bullied at school have a far higher risk of developing mental health problems.

77: Rare meteorite rocks scientific community

4 oktober 2017 | 39 min

*Rare meteorite rocks scientific community A rare meteorite discovered by prospectors in far north Queensland (Australia) is providing new clues about the internal structures of large asteroids and possibly even some terrestrial planets. The 15 kilogram space rock was uncovered three years ago, about two metres below the surface, by a couple fossicking for gold with a metal detector. *New theory on the creation of supermassive black holes Scientists using computer simulations have shown how a supermassive black hole could be created from supersonic gas streams left over from the Big Bang. The findings reported in the journal Science, shows this simulated black hole could be the source of the birth and development of the largest and oldest supermassive black holes ever recorded. *Record setting comet NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has photographed the farthest active inbound comet ever seen. The comet, called C/2017 K2 PANSTARRS is still a whopping 2.4 billion kilometres from the Sun – placing it beyond the orbit of Saturn. *Ariane 5’s fifth launch this year Ariane 5 has successfully placed two telecommunications satellites into geostationary orbit. The 54 meter tall rocket blasted off from the European Space Agency Kourou space port in French Guiana carrying the Intelsat-37e and BSAT-4a. *AsiaSat9 launches aboard Proton rocket A Russian Proton rocket has blasted into orbit carrying the AsiaSat 9 telecommunications satellite. The Proton equipped with a Breeze M upper stage was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the central Asian republic of Kazakhstan. *The Science Report The latest snapshot of illegal drug use in Australia New evidence indicates life may have existed on Earth some 3.95 billion years ago.

76: Fourth gravitational wave detection

29 september 2017 | 36 min

*Fourth gravitational wave detection Astronomers have achieved a fourth gravitational wave detection of merging stellar mass black holes. The new discovery was a combined effort between the existing LIGO Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detectors in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington together with the New European VIRGO detector near Pisa in Italy. *Discovery of a pitch black planet that eats light. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has observed a planet outside our solar system that looks as black as fresh asphalt because it eats light rather than reflecting it back into space. This light-eating prowess is due to the planet's unique capability to trap at least 94 percent of the visible starlight falling into its atmosphere. *New Pluto mission proposal NASA has received a new proposal for a surface mission to Pluto. The new plan would follow on from the highly successful New Horizons spacecraft which undertook an historic close flyby of Pluto its binary partner Charon, and their five moons back in July 2015. *New Earth Observation satellite The CSIRO has joined a project developing and operating one of the world’s most sophisticated Earth observation satellites. The 430 kilogram Synthetic Aperture Radar remote sensing satellite – known as the NovaSAR -- will launch later this year on an Indian PSLV rocket. *NROL-42 spy satellite launched An Atlas V rocket has blasted into orbit from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California carry a secret National Reconnaissance Office satellite. The NROL-42 mission blasted off into black late-night skies which seemed more than appropriate for such a clandestine flight. *Russian Navigation satellite launched Russia has launched the latest member of its Glonass satellite navigation system. The Russian Military Air and Space Forces Soyuz 2.1b rocket carrying the Glonass-M satellite was launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome north of Moscow. *The Science Report A new clue in combating aggressive brain tumours. A nine week expedition to the lost continent of Zealandia returns to port in Hobart. A new study finds that teens get their bad moods from their friends. New evidence claims modern humans were settling in the America’s some 13 thousand years ago. People who tend to trust their intuition are more likely to hold inaccurate beliefs.

75: Australia to finally establish a space agency

27 september 2017 | 42 min

*Australia to finally establish a space agency The Australian Federal Government has announced plans to finally establish its own space agency in an attempt to cash in on the growing 420 billion dollar global space industry. The new agency will co-ordinate strategic long term plans supporting domestic aerospace industries currently worth over four billion dollars -- but which are often uncoordinated and fragmented, often developing similar competing systems. *Discovery of the nearest supermassive black hole binary Astronomers have detected the nearest ever binary supermassive black hole system. The twin monsters which are separated by only one light year -- were located just 400 light years away in a spiral galaxy named NGC 7674. *Fast Radio Bursts could be very common A new study claims mysterious nanosecond flashes of intense energy known as Fast Radio Bursts of FRBs may be firing off every second. When FRBs, were first discovered by the Parkes Radio Telescope in 2001, astronomers had never seen anything like them before. *End of the world prediction wrong again In case you missed it, the world was supposed to end last Saturday according to Christian end of the world theorist David Meade – but it looks like he was wrong and consequently so were all the sheeple who believed him. Meade was claiming that an apocalyptic planet called Nibiru would collide with the Earth destroying all life. *The Science Report The largest study ever undertaken of the human microbiome. Iran has tested its new Khorramshahr ballistic missile in violation of UN resolution 2231. Studies claim colorful vegetables and fruits may contain compounds that can stop colon cancer. Stomachs developed 20 million years earlier than previously thought A new study looks at sexual relationships in the 21st century.

74: Could interstellar ice provide the answer to the birth of DNA?

22 september 2017 | 39 min

*Could interstellar ice provide the answer to the birth of DNA? Molecules brought to Earth in meteorite strikes could potentially be converted into the building blocks of DNA. A report in the Chemical Communications claims researchers found that organic compounds, called amino nitriles, the molecular precursors to amino acids, were able to use molecules present in interstellar ice to trigger the formation of 2-deoxy-D-ribose -- the backbone molecule, , of DNA. *The mysterious night side of Venus The winds and upper cloud patterns on the night side of Venus have been characterised for the first time- giving scientists some surprising results. A report in the journal Nature Astronomy claims the atmosphere on Venus’ night side behaves very differently to that on the side of the planet facing the Sun -- exhibiting unexpected and previously-unseen cloud types, morphologies, and dynamics -- some of which appear to be connected to features on the planet’s surface. *WASP 19B an inferno world with titanium skies Astronomers have detected titanium oxide in an exoplanet atmosphere for the first time. The findings reported in the journal Nature show the planet’s atmosphere contains small amounts of titanium oxide, as well as water and traces of sodium, alongside a strongly scattering global haze. *Charmonium surprise at the Large Hadron Collider The LHCb experiment at the world largest atom smasher – the Large Hadron Collider has surprised physicists by providing unprecedented precision measurements of the masses of two charmonium particles – something never previously achieved at a hadron collider – and until recently thought impossible. Until now, precise research into charmonium particles required the construction of dedicated experiments to examine this invaluable source of insights into the subatomic world. *Dragon splash down A SpaceX Dragon cargo ship has splashed down in the Eastern Pacific Ocean southwest of Long Beach California carrying just under two tonnes of equipment and completed science experiments from the International Space Station. The capsule contained a numerous technological and biological experiments including a team of astronaut mice taking part in micro gravity experiments. *The Science Report A new study estimates there are over two billion species of life on planet Earth at the moment. Warming oceans causing faster Antarctic glacial melt. Women with coronary heart disease are less likely to achieve treatment targets than men. Livestock reserve land providing a haven for native plant species. The rare state of matter in which electrons in a superconducting crystal organize collectively. Absolutely Fabulous closer to the truth than most want to admit with new studies showing today’s teens aren’t nearly as wild as their parents were.

73: The best estimates yet of Earth’s composition

20 september 2017 | 51 min

*The best estimates yet of Earth’s composition Astronomers have determined the most accurate estimate yet of the Earth’s core, finding it makes up 32.5 per cent of the planet’s total mass. The findings are part of a new understanding of the Earth’s composition, which will help scientists develop new methods to determine if exoplanets orbiting distant stars are likely to be capable of supporting life. *New supernovae study reframes the Dark Energy debate A new study claims the accelerating expansion of the universe may not be real, but could just be an apparent effect. The study claims the fit of Type Ia supernovae to a model universe with no dark energy appears to be very slightly better than the fit for the standard dark energy model. *Curiosity climbing a Martian ridge NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has begun the steep ascent up an iron-oxide-bearing ridge that's grabbed scientists' attention since before its arrival on the red planet in 2012. The Vera Rubin Ridge stands prominently on the north western flank of Mount Sharp, resisting erosion better than the less-steep portions of the mountain below and above it. *Expedition 53 Launches to the International Space Station The Russian Soyuz MS-06 capsule carrying the Expedition 53 crew has successfully docked with the International Space Station as both spacecraft flew 400 kilometres above the southern Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile. The docking with the station’s Space facing Russian Poisk module took place six hours after the Soyuz FG rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in in the central Asian republic of Kazakhstan on a fast rendezvous flight path. *Russian Proton launch It’s been a busy time for Russia with a Proton-M rocket successfully launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome carrying the Amazonas-5 telecommunications satellite into geostationary transfer orbit. The mission was only the third for the Proton since its return to flight status following its latest grounding following a string of recent failures. *The Science Report New research has discovered that patients with age-related macular degeneration carry signs of the disease in their blood. A new study has found the small fraction of papers denying climate change are all either biased or contain basic flaws in science. Warnings that up to 85 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS suffer from chronic pain. Generating power out or urine. New research claims a mysterious ancient creature called Dickinsonia was definitely an animal.
