In this episode of Space Nuts Q&A, Andrew and Fred answer questions about supernovae, 3D printed telescopes, the Voyager space probe missions, and the possibility of using particle collision in space. They discuss how supernovae explosions do not blow away the gravitational field and how neutron stars develop as a result. They also provide insights into 3D printed telescopes and suggest that beginners may find it easier to start with an off-the-shelf telescope. They talk about the trajectory and potential fate of the Voyager spacecraft and discuss the challenges of building particle colliders in space. Overall, they provide informative and engaging answers to the audience's questions. Takeaways   Supernovae explosions do not blow away the gravitational field because gravity is associated with mass. The explosion only affects the outer envelope of the star, while the core collapses to become a neutron star. 3D printed telescopes can be a good option for beginners, but it may be easier to start with an off-the-shelf telescope. 3D printed telescopes require more components and may involve more fiddling around. The Voyager spacecraft will continue on their current trajectories and are not expected to pass near any star systems within human lifetimes. However, if they were near enough to Earth, they could be detectable by extraterrestrial intelligence. Building particle colliders in space is challenging due to the need for precise guidance and the high velocities of the particles. It may be more cost-effective and realistic to continue building particle colliders on Earth. The fate of the Voyager spacecraft is uncertain, but they could potentially be captured into orbit around another star or collide with other objects. They will likely outlast our species and continue on their trajectories away from the solar system.

In this episode of Space Nuts, Andrew and Fred discuss the naming of Australia's moon rover, a gamma ray burst that affected Earth's atmosphere, and the discovery of a reappearing, disappearing galaxy. They also answer a listener's question about the Kardashev scale and the possibility of constructing a Dyson sphere. In this episode, Fred and Andrew discuss various topics related to astrophysics and space exploration. They speculate on the existence of advanced civilizations and megastructures, highlighting the vast technological advancements required for such feats. They also delve into the concept of tidal locking, explaining how planets and moons become tidally locked and the role of friction in this process. Lastly, they explore the challenges of measuring the speed of objects in space and the absence of an absolute frame of reference. Takeaways Australia's moon rover has been named 'Roover' through a public vote, highlighting the lack of imagination in the country. A gamma ray burst from a galaxy 2 billion light years away affected Earth's atmosphere, demonstrating the vulnerability of our planet. The discovery of a reappearing, disappearing galaxy suggests the existence of dusty galaxies that are not visible in optical wavelengths. The Kardashev scale is a measure of a civilization's energy usage, and the construction of a Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that can harness the energy of a star. The existence of advanced civilizations and megastructures is purely speculative and not supported by current astrophysical evidence. Tidal locking occurs when a planet or moon's rotation matches its orbital period, resulting in one side always facing the other. This process is influenced by gravitational forces and friction. Measuring the speed of objects in space is complex due to the absence of an absolute frame of reference. Speed is often calculated relative to other objects or reference points. The speed of light, approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, is a fundamental constant in physics and has been measured and predicted accurately.

The nature and properties of black holes are one of the greatest mysteries of our universe. In technical terms, black holes are described as a "singularity," which implies zero dimensions. But could there be more to it than that? Black holes became an engaging topic when Andrew and Fred touched upon how their "size" led to several theories and ideas. Both agreed that the definition and understanding of black holes are fluid, leaving a lot of room for scientific debate. Fred even hinted at the possibility of revisiting the no hair theorem, which describes the limited number of detectable attributes of a black hole. So, despite the name, black holes are anything but an empty subject! Apogee and Earth's Climate Now, let's talk about something a touch closer to home - the Earth's climate. You might have heard the term "apeelian," which refers to when our blue planet is furthest from the Sun. It's a regular, annual occurrence, but does it have a significant effect on our climate? From a layman's perspective, it...

Have you ever felt the rush of excitement when stumbling upon a hidden gem? Well, let me take you on a journey where the unexpected becomes the norm.

Power Challenges for Moon Missions To have a permanent human presence on the Moon, we can't sidestep the hurdle of generating power in the shadowed areas. Often, potential resources for living lie in such areas, for instance, the water reserves in the deep, often shadowed, craters near the poles. The tricky part is that the science we have today, solar-generated power, needs light. So, getting power to these dark, resourceful spots is a challenge that needs an intelligent solution. That's where something like Lightbender steps in - a technology that has the potential to crack this problem wide open. From Andrew's perspective, he notes that the topic is not just about exploration; it's a matter of survival in an environment that's vastly different from Earth. He compares this situation to the first astronauts who had to deal with the lack of power during moon night, which lasts about 14 Earth days. Understanding these challenges is essential to ensure the successful future of lunar missions. Heliostat and Sun Observations Lightbender isn't born entirely out of nowhere. Fred explained that it draws inspiration from a 19th-century astronomical idea of the heliostat. The heliostat also uses a two-mirror system to keep a steady image of the sun for solar observations. The primary difference lies in the autonomous control and AI of Lightbender to direct the reflected sunlight accurately. Paul was fascinated with the historical link between heliostats and the cutting-edge technology of Lightbender. Delving into the past, it made him appreciate the leaps and bounds humanity has made in technology and the new challenges it can overcome with novel adaptations of age-old inventions. Heliostat and Sun Observations Lightbender isn't born entirely out of nowhere. Fred explained that it...

When an ambitious astrophysicist discovers a lone galaxy 9.2 billion light years away, she unravels the mystery of a fossil cluster, uncovering an unexpected twist in the evolution of carbon in the universe. In this episode, learn about astronomy topics - Quasars, Big Bang, and Carbon formation in the universe - from a conversation between Andrew and Fred about Dr. Rebecca Davis' research. They discuss how carbon started forming in the universe, which is important as we are a carbon based life form. The research found that in the early universe there was more cold carbon than warm carbon and it may be due to the first generation of stars. This research also paves the way for future investigations with the Square Kilometer Array to detect neutral hydrogen during a key phase of the universe's history. Furthermore, there is an example of extreme galactic cannibalism, with a distant galaxy called 3 C 297, which appears to be alone in space due to gobbling up all it's neighbours. "During the period when the first stars and galaxies are forming, a lot of heavy elements are forming because we never had carbon before we had stars. One possible reason for this rapid rise is just that we're seeing the products of the first generation of stars." In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. Australian astrophysicists have uncovered a crucial new development in understanding the evolution of carbon in the universe. 2. An extremely distant and old galaxy, 3C 297, is all alone in space, because it ate its friends. 3. Astronomers have discovered the earliest fossil group ever found, suggesting that galaxies gobbling up their partners and friends happened much earlier in the universe than previously thought.

Hi there, thanks for joining us. This is Space Nuts. I'm your host, Andrew Dunkley. Hope you can stick around. We've got a lot to talk about today. What time is it on the moon? It's moon time.
It could be daytime, could be night-time. It depends where you are, but we're talking about real time.
We'll elaborate in this episode and offer up some solutions. There might be a new way to find Planet Nine. We're going to look at some sunrays on Mars and the dark Big Bang Theory. We'll also be answering some audience questions and much, much more on this episode of Space Nuts. "Throughout human history, exploration has actually been a key driver of improved timekeeping and geodetic reference models." The idea is how do you define time on the Moon. Do you have lots of different time zones, like we have on Earth? Or do you have a single lunar time zone? A joint international effort is now being launched towards achieving this. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How is time being defined on the Moon? 2. What is Planet Nine and can we find it? 3. Have Crepuscular Rays been seen on Mars for the first time?

Experience the awe-inspiring power of the universe with a journey to see the aurora australis and witness spaghettification first-hand! Learn about Aurora displays from this Space Nuts podcast episode featuring Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley. Apparently, people have been seeing these aurora displays in unusual places due to various plasma bubbles being spat out from the sun. This is not surprising as we are approaching the solar maximum, which is the regular up and down trend in the number of sunspots that appear on the sun. These sunspots are highly intense regions of magnetism that release energy in the form of plasma bubbles which cause the green, red and sometimes purple lights of the aurora. It is unusual for people to be seeing the aurora in places such as the UK, and the best time to look is near the equinox. Plus we’re witnessing a spaghettification first hand, but what exactly is that, and lastly, the Space Station was damaged by a micrometeoroid and a rescue mission is underway. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. People are seeing the aurora in unexpected places - what is causing this phenomenon? 2. What will happen to the mysterious gas cloud X-7 as it passes closest to a black hole in 2036? 3. An uncrewed rescue mission was sent to the International Space Station - what was the mission and why was it necessary?

After a decade of searching, a determined Mars rover discovers an eerily familiar formation of an ancient crater, inciting an interplanetary investigation of the phenomenon of pareidolia. You will learn the mysteries of the Red Planet and the latest updates on Mars exploration.
Show Notes:
After a decade of searching, a determined Mars rover discovers an eerily familiar formation of an ancient crater, inciting an interplanetary investigation of the phenomenon of pareidolia. You will learn the mysteries of the Red Planet and the latest updates on Mars exploration. Learn about Mars exploration through a lively conversation between Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson on Space Nuts. They discussed the phenomenon of pareidolia, where people find familiar shapes in random objects, and how it has been seen on Mars in the form of faces, hats, and other shapes. They also talked about the rover Perseverance and its mission to collect samples which have been left on the surface in 10 sealed tubes. They have now been dropped at a geographical location called Three Forks. Lastly, they discussed the camera on the rover's arm called Watson, which uses spectroscopy to analyze the rock samples. "We try to humanize everything we do humanize it. It's great because it draws attention to what's going on around it and maybe they get interested and have a look at some more. We just seem to gravitate to faces, don't we? Especially smiley ones. Well, that's good. I mean, you don't really want evil faces in space." In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What is the phenomenon of pareidolia, and how does it explain why we see faces in inanimate objects? 2. What happened when the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured an image of a "Paddington Bear" on the surface of Mars? 3. What advanced technologies are being used to collect and analyze samples from the surface of Mars?

Thank you for joining us on Space Nuts where we talk astronomy and space science every week. I hope you well. Coming up in this edition indestructible asteroids - yep they've got some samples they've hit him with a hammer and nothing happened and we're talking asteroids that are made of rubble. But it turns out to be more like reinforced concrete. We're also going to look at machine learning or artificial intelligence for the discovery, maybe, of extraterrestrial life. And we're going to answer some questions about gravity and astronauts. What happens when they're going maybe from here to Mars? What's the gravity like compared to orbiting the planet or lack of there? So how is a light year measured? Very carefully. And what pushes rockets in space? We will tell you all of that if we can. Maybe we won't. Coming up on this edition of Space Nuts. Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff.

We're back. Space Nuts. 2023. I'm Andrew Dunkley, your host, and joining me, as always, will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Hi, Fred. Happy new year. Probably too late to say that, but anyway, it's the first time we've chatted a break. Now, what's coming up on the 337th edition of Space nuts? Well, a near miss asteroid we've got to talk about. Asteroid 2023 BU, which flew past the earth very closely recently. It was almost a record breaker in that regard. We'll cover that. And we'll also talk about some new results from the James Webb telescope about the molecules and chemicals that are being found deep in icy clouds in space. Wow. All right. It's just always something new coming from the James Webb space telescope. And some audience questions. Harold wants to know about self-cleaning rovers. Good idea. Sandy in Melbourne wants to talk about how spacecraft targets small objects in space and more. Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff.

Hope you can join us on Best of 2022 episode where I'll be joined by none other than the good Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Fred. What's on this edition. Fred: One of the biggest stories of 2022, which is the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope. We're going to cover that in a little bit of detail. We're going to talk about a new telescope that's just starting to be built at Siding Spring Observatory here in New South Wales, that’ll be looking for the aftermath of gravitational wave events. And we’ll squeeze in a story about the idea that aliens might use quantum communication. Andrew: And we just finished answering all the questions about gravitational waves and we had to do a gravitational wave story. So, we'll start rolling again, of course. And speaking of audience questions, we'll be hearing from Ben in Dover, who has a gravitational wave question, and Alex from New South Wales about the apparent size of galaxies. That's a really interesting question. That's all coming up on episode 313 of Space Nuts, the podcast you can download from your favorite podcast distributor. Talk to you then. Bye.

And my name is Andrew Dunkley, of course, the host, and joining me will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Fred, what are we going to do to finish off this 2022? Well, we've got some great stories, actually. It looks as though there's a mystery being solved that has hung around for decades regarding the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, which we see from down here in the Southern Hemisphere, the large and small Magellanic Cloud, among many others of them. That looks as though it's been solved by scientists, including somebody I know quite well actually from the University of Durham. Also, we're going to talk about something I know nothing about, the possibility that dark matter might turn out to be dark photons. All in Space Nuts 336. Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff.

This is Space Nuts where we talk astronomy and space science. My name is Andrew Dunkley, your host, and this is an all-question episode. Your questions and our answers.

Well, almost. We'll be hearing about spin launch. Somebody's not so much sent a question in, but they've been there and wanted to tell us about it.

But questions about the radial velocity of stars, negative gravity, dark matter, and the Casimir effect, and much, much more.

Thanks for joining us on Space Nuts, the podcast about astronomy and space science
also heard on community radio across Australia.
My name is Andrew Dunkley, your host. And coming up on this edition, we're going to be looking at the Square Kilometre Array.
And the reason is because you can actually look at it because they've started building the thing. Also, some interesting findings by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Mars appears to be active, much more active than we would have considered.
Some new evidence has come to light and a bit of an update on Artemis 1 and questions about the end of the life of the sun and Terra forming an ice moon. That's all to come on this edition of Space Nuts.

We've got a bunch of really interesting and quite provocative stories this week.

A story about how volcanism might have shaped the atmosphere of the planet Venus.

And another story about something we’ve never talked about and that is filaments in the centers of galaxies. I used to think of a filament as being something that lit up a light bulb although they don't have that anymore, but these are filaments of hot gas which have been detected and are really quite mysterious.

And we'll answer questions about anti-matter and anti-protons, space junk, relativity, and one question we don't really understand, but it came from Rusty in Western Australia. So that's understandable in itself.

That's all coming up on this edition of Space Nuts, episode 333.

The James Webb Space Telescope has analyzed the atmosphere of an exoplanet and found astonishing new evidence of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. In this episode, you will learn:
1. The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered new atmospheric compositions on the exoplanet Wasp-39b, including sulfur dioxide, potassium, and carbon monoxide.
2. The shape of our galaxy may be more complicated than previously thought, with a halo of stars and other objects surrounding the disk of stars.
3. The Gaia spacecraft has measured the positions and motions of stars with unprecedented accuracy, providing new insights into the structure of our galaxy.

"The latest results, though, they were pretty impressive, what we've heard so far. But the ones that we're seeing now are really quite staggering because the Webb using its infrared equipment in a way that lets you investigate the atmosphere of this planet as it passes in front of its parent

I'm joined by Professor Fred Watson on Space Nuts, where we talk astronomy, space science, and how to solve some of your pet problems. We're discussing a new discovery by the James Webb Space Telescope which analyzed the atmosphere of an exoplanet and found some astonishing results. We're also looking at the true shape of our galaxy, which turns out to be more like a football than a sphere. And with the World Cup on, I thought we would have been no, not at all. We're going to answer questions about Jodrell bank and surprise, surprise, dark matter and black holes all coming up on the very next edition, this one of Space Nuts

On the other side of the coin, some documentary makers have discovered a chunk
of the Challenger shuttle in the Atlantic Ocean, which is a somber reminder of tragedies past.
And astronomers have found a black hole. And if you open your door, there it is. It's fairly close to earth.
Plus audience questions coming up today, about spin launch the Barnard 68 Void and Sagittarius A star, all on this edition of Space Nuts.

We've got an episode that divides by five. So, it means it's all questions.
And we've got a range of questions today, which cover the whole universe, basically. Several about the moon, which is a great one because by chance today there is an eclipse of the moon.
But they range from that out to vertical particles in the universe and the origin of dark matter.

Space Nuts Episode 328 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
In this episode, we're going to visit Jupiter's moon Europa because there's new stuff from Europa, we've got new images which have come back from a flyby by the Juno spacecraft, plus some work about the plumes of ice that might come out of the surface of Europa.
Then we're going to go to the distant universe to talk about gravitational lenses with some new work that has been done here in Australia.
We'll also be answering some audience questions. Ian wants to know about Venus and Mars. It's a great Paul McCartney album. I think that's the answer to the question. Also the size of Earth, earth by perception. And Gus wants to talk about dark matter. Or do we have to - yes, we do.

Space Nuts Episode 327 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
We have a story about what you can learn from beads, tiny beads of glass in the soil of the moon which have been brought back by the Changing Five spacecraft. We also have a story about the possible detection of the aftermath of the first stars in the universe.

We'll also be taking some audience questions. One about antimatter, and I love this one a hypothetical - fishing in a black hole. Now, there's more to it than that, and you won't catch fish in a black hole. They will already be spaghettified. But what happens if you're a fish in a black hole?

Space Nuts Episode 326 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
This is episode 326 of Space Nuts podcast, a bumper action packed episode yet again. We're going to talk about a new map of 56,000 galaxies, which is really interesting, and hopefully we'll learn something quite new about the universe from that. And we're also going to talk about Saturn's moon Enceladus, which you and I have spoken about many times before. Maybe there are the right minerals for living organisms in the ocean, underneath the ice of Enceladus.

Space Nuts Episode 325 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
This is episode 325 of Space Nuts podcast, and we've got a lot to talk about. In fact, the audience is going to do the talking because we're dedicating the whole show to questions. So we've got questions about Artemis 1, dark matter, flickering stars, Spacetime holes, gravity and terraforming Venus. Which will be interesting because it's a hot bed that place a very, very, nasty place if you set foot on it, which I don't advise. That's all to come on this edition of Space Nuts. Enjoy!

Andrew: Hello again. Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. We've got the next episode. coming up and to tell us what's going to be on episode 322, Astronomer at Large. Fred Watson.
Fred: Hot off the press stories, as always. We've got a new mineral that has been discovered on the Moon by Chinese scientists which sounds really interesting. And we've got some less than good news, I guess, to report on two of the space missions that are uppermost in our mind. Artemis One and Blue Origin.
Andrew: Okay we'll look into those issues, and we will get questions from Rebecca in Geelong, who is asking about with the Moon being hit by pieces of rock on a regular basis and what that might do to future Moon bases and Moon missions. And Mikey from Illinois wants to know how we know galaxies are interacting when there are so many in the pictures coming back from James Web. That's a good question.
