[Space Bites] Updates on The Great Red Spot // Black Hole Awakening // More Starliner Delays
21/06/2024 Duration: 18minHow old is Jupiter’s Red Spot, watching a supermassive black hole wake up, the earliest merging quasars, and Starliner still hasn’t come home.
-
[Interview] Deep Dive Intro Primordial Black Holes
20/06/2024 Duration: 54minWhat are primordial black holes and how are they different from all the other kinds of black holes out there? How could we possibly detect them and what would it mean for Cosmology? Can primordial black holes be a solution for dark matter? Finding out the answers in this interview.
-
[Interview] Satellites That Scoop Air And Use It As Propellant
19/06/2024 Duration: 42minSatellites run out of fuel and have to de-orbit and end their missions. But what if they had access to a practically infinite amount of fuel? What if they could scoop air from the atmosphere and use it as propellant? That is exactly the research that Dr Mansur Tisaev is doing!
-
[Q&A] Galaxy Level Threats, The Truth About Binary Stars, Rogue Gravitational Waves
18/06/2024 Duration: 42minWhat percentage of stars live in binary systems? Are there Lagrange points all the way down? Can there be a rogue gravitational wave? Why do stars twinkle? Answering all these questions and more in this week's Q&A show.

[Interview] NASA Wants to Make Mars Less Toxic with This Clever Idea
17/06/2024 Duration: 55minMars is full of toxic perchlorates that can be very harmful for future human missions. So, when people go to Mars, they will need to fix it. NASA has awarded a NIAC grant for a project that can help solving this problem. It's called Detoxifying Mars: the biocatalytic elimination of omnipresent perchlorates.
