Episode Notes
The Aztec Empire was the dominant power in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The astronomical and cosmological traditions they created were extremely fascinating but are still subject to prejudice. Like their peers in Eurasia and East Asia, the Aztecs watched the heavens avidly and discerned patterns that influenced their worldview, calendar systems, and even urban planning.

Episode Notes
The term "habitable zone" comes up a lot when discussing exoplanets and extraterrestrial life these days. But what exactly does it mean? Interestingly, the way we define "habitable" has changed in recent decades, thanks to the number of confirmed exoplanets and our growing knowledge of how life evolved here on Earth.

Episode Notes
Could it be that the reason we haven't seen or heard from any advanced civilizations is that interstellar settlement only happens in small clusters? This is the essence of the Percolation Hypothesis. Essentially, the challenges imposed by a Relativistic Universe and alien biology could prevent a "Galactic Empire" from ever emerging.

Episode Notes
Someday, humans may live around Neptune and the Trans-Neptunian region, where they'll export terraforming gases, fuel for fusion reactors, conduct vital research, and gaze out into the Universe! With the right strategies and technologies, there could be a branch of humanity someday known as Neptunians, Plutonians (or Hadeans), and Ice Belters!

Episode Notes
Could the reason we haven't found evidence of extraterrestrial life be that water is too abundant on some worlds? This is the essence of the Waterworlds Hypothesis, which tells us that rocky planets with the right balance of continents and oceans could be rare.

Noted astrophysicist and science fiction author Alastair Reynolds is renowned for how he combines real science and classic space opera motifs to create "hard science fiction." In addition to introducing cutting-edge and timeless concepts to millions of readers, he has also had a profound influence on this humble science communicator (aka. me!)

Episode Notes
Someday, our progeny may live may travel to the Uranus system, settle its largest moons, and create a thriving economy based on resource extraction, exploration, tourism, and lots of diamonds! With the right strategies and technologies, there could be a branch of humanity someday known as Uranians (don't laugh!).

Episode Notes
Dr. Slava Turyshev is a NASA researcher and one of the leading advocates for creating a telescope that will use our Sun as a Solar Gravitational Lens (SGL). An SGL telescope could revolutionize astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial life, allowing scientists to study exoplanets with extremely high resolution.
