Universe Today Podcasts With Fraser Cain

India lands on the Moon. Another Ring Nebula image from JWST. One of the coolest exoplanet videos you’ve ever seen. New images of Neptune.

The farthest star and the farthest galaxy seen by JWST. Measuring the darkness of the Universe from deep space. New evidence for MOND vs dark matter.

Superconductor update. Contact re-established with Voyager 2. Two stars orbiting so closely they could hide inside the Sun. A field of gravitational lenses in a new JWST image.

Classical space telescopes have their limit. You can't simply build bigger mirrors all the time. Instead, you can build more mirrors and combine them into a telescope array. That's the concept behind the Nautilus Array which we discuss with Prof. Daniel Apai from The University of Arizona.

NASA Loses Contact with Voyager 2 because of a mistake. Euclid sends its first images. Finally, The Ring Nebula from JWST.

Dealing with space debris is an increasingly important aspect of spaceflight. Can we take it under control? What technical challenges will we need to overcome? What will it mean for the future of space infrastructure? Answering all these questions with Alex Godfrey from Astroscale.

What will it take to ditch chemical rockets and make space launches fully electric? What tech will it require and when will it be reasonable to use such a system? What technical challenges are associated with it? Answering all these questions with David Dillon, the founder of Electromagnetic Launch.

NASA reveals nuclear rocket partnership with Lockheed Martin. Witnesses claim there’s a UAP coverup. There could be trillions of rogue planets wandering the Milky Way.

It's already been one year of JWST operations. In this episode we accumulated all the major science results, all the amazing images and graphs, all the important discoveries and controversies. Enjoy the ULTIMATE GUIDE to the first year of James Webb.

A white dwarf was found that literally has to sides. One is Hydrogen. The other one is Helium. And it constantly rotates and changes those two sides. What's going on and how could this possibly happen? We're figuring it out with Dr Jeremy Heyl from the University of British Columbia.

Is the Universe twice as old as we thought? China updates its lunar exploration plans. Astronomers might have found an exoplanet in a Lagrange Point.

Enceladus is the most interesting world in our Solar System in terms of exploration potential. It just is. But at the moment there are no approved missions to come back there. In this interview I'm discussing a New Frontiers class mission concept, the Astrobiology eXploration at Enceladus (AXE) with Dr Marshall Seaton from NASA JPL.

James Webb recently celebrated its first anniversary at work. What science results did it bring? Why graphs of spectra are as great as the nice pictures? How did JWST change Cosmology? What to expect from the next year of observations? All the answers in this Special Episode.

JWST celebrates its first year of operation. The Extremely Large Telescope is half-built. A black hole suddenly roars into life.

So much James Webb discoveries. A planet survives after being consumed by a red giant star. Euclid successfully launches. And gravitational lensing gravitational waves.

When does a Lagrange point stop being one? Can we make LIGO even bigger? Do planets change their size over time? Can we build a submarine to go to Titan? What's next for the TRAPPIST-1 system? All this and more in this week's Q&A!

This is an episode of John Michael Godier's show Event Horizon. We explore the extraordinary idea of robo-eels, groundbreaking aquatic automatons designed to unlock the mysteries of water worlds like Enceladus and Europa. Then, we shift gears to discuss NASA's riveting UAP study, exploring unidentified aerial phenomena and their implications for our understanding of the universe. Finally, John and Fraser get into the ever changing realm of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and contemplate its potential impact on our future. ⚫️ Event Horizon: https://www.youtube.com/@EventHorizonShow

Gravitational wave background of the Universe. A map of the Milky Way in neutrinos. More new discoveries from JWST. A major update for Starship.

The Vera Rubin Observatory will soon come online. It will be a game-changer for Astronomy. How exactly will it happen and how it will help SETI? We're trying to find the answers with my guest, Dr James Davenport from The University of Washington.

Will LIGO detect gravitational waves when Betelgeuse explodes? Why are scientists so sure about dark matter? Could Betelgeuse become a black hole after it goes supernova? Why is the Oort cloud a sphere, not a disk? What determines the size of Lagrange points? All this and more in this week's Q&A!
