S26E60: In this episode of SpaceTime with Stuart Gary, we explore the fascinating world of astrophysics and space exploration.

Astronomers have used powerful supercomputer simulations to accurately recreate the mesmerizing jets emanating from supermassive black holes. Additionally, Rocket Lab successfully launched NASA's new storm-chasing satellites, while Virgin Galactic announces the resumption of flights to the edge of space.

Segment 1: Recreating Black Hole Jets Using Supercomputer Simulations Astrophysicists have harnessed the power of supercomputer simulations to replicate the awe-inspiring jets that emanate from supermassive black holes. By accurately recreating these cosmic phenomena, scientists gain valuable insights into the mechanics and behavior of black hole jets.

Segment 2: Rocket Lab Launches NASA's Storm Chaser Satellites Rocket Lab has achieved another successful launch, this time deploying a pair of NASA's cutting-edge storm-chasing satellites. These advanced satellites will help scientists better understand and predict severe weather phenomena, enhancing our ability to forecast and mitigate the impact of storms.

Segment 3: Virgin Galactic Resumes Flights to the Edge of Space Exciting news from Virgin Galactic as they announce the imminent resumption of space flights to the edge of space. Following a brief hiatus, Virgin Galactic is set to recommence commercial operations, allowing aspiring astronauts the opportunity to experience the wonders of space.

The Science Report:

- Australia's Black Summer Fires and the Recent Triple La Niña Scientists speculate that Australia's devastating Black Summer fires may have played a role in triggering the subsequent triple La Niña weather events. This connection highlights the complex interplay between climate, extreme weather phenomena, and natural disasters.

- Citizen Science Project Monitors Australia's Bogong Moth A new citizen science project aims to monitor Australia's bogong moth population. By enlisting the public's help, researchers can collect valuable data and better understand the behavior and conservation needs of this crucial insect species.

- Smell-o-Vision for TV and Movies Becomes a Reality Advancements in technology bring us closer to experiencing smell-o-vision in our entertainment. The integration of scents into television and movie experiences holds the potential to further immerse audiences and enhance storytelling.

- Debunking Dead Animal Psychics: The Skeptics' Guide A skeptical examination of dead animal psychics, highlighting the lack of scientific evidence and the importance of critical thinking in assessing extraordinary claims.

Space Nuts #352

In this episode of Space Nuts, we explore a groundbreaking discovery about how Earth cleans up its own atmosphere, and how it could change the game in mitigating air pollution. But when our host jumps to the wrong planet, we discover stunning new images of Uranus taken by the James Webb Space Telescope and reveal some incredible insights about this mysterious planet. However, our excitement is cut short with a shocking revelation that leaves us wondering, will we ever go back?

SpaceTime S26E59

Uranus' mysterious moons may contain oceans under their icy crusts, according to new computer modelling based on re-analyzed data from NASA's Voyager spacecraft.

The magic key to satellite navigation systems is precise three-dimensional positioning, which has revolutionized how humans navigate.

The European Space Agency's JUICE spacecraft experienced early problems as a key radar antenna failed to open as planned.

In the Science Report, there is a major step in slowing the progression of Alzheimer's, a potential antidote for the poisonous Death cap mushroom, and medical doctors and public health experts are joining the call to suspend development of AI.

Alex on Tech covers Google's big launch.

Astronomy Daily the Podcast – S02E06 May 17, 2023 In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Tim Gibbs and Hallie, his AI assistant, discuss several developments in space exploration. The first story covers the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft, which has been spotted heading towards Jupiter to study its atmosphere and its three moons, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa, in order to assess their potential to host life. The second story reports on NASA's Juno spacecraft, which flew past Jupiter's volcanic moon IO on May 16 and will continue to explore the gas giant and its inner moons in its extended mission. The third story reveals that NASA's second high altitude balloon, carrying the Extreme Universe Space Observatory Two (EUSO-2) payload to detect cosmic ray particles, sprang a leak and had to be terminated over the Pacific Ocean. The fourth story covers the upcoming launch of SpaceX's Ax-2 private astronaut mission, which will send four people to the International Space Station for an eight-day stay. Finally, the world's largest plane, the Stratolaunch Rock carrier plane, has completed its first ever drop test of a prototype of the Talonic hypersonic vehicle test, paving the way for an even more ambitious test in the coming months. Plus Saturn’s rings are much younger than originally thought. Astronomy Daily – The Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
