NASA announces asteroid Bennu contains carbon and water, a comet explosion may have kick started agriculture in Syria and the light pollution from artificial satellites has now reached the point where the brightest stars in the night sky can't compete for our attention...

A successful crash landing back to Earth. Seven years and a handful of days after it was launched, OSIRIS-REx returns home with the all important samples of asteroid Bennu. Within 90 minutes NASA teams had secured the payload and moved it to a temporary clean room at the Utah Test and Training Range near Salt Lake City. There, it's under a constant bath of nitrogen - to avoid Earthly contamination.

Your deep dive into OSIRIS-REx, and the only podcast to speak with NASA scientists is right here on Trekzone's Talkin' Science.

Hydrogen surrounding NGC 4632 could make it a rare polar ring galaxy. A bubble of galaxies has been found - measuring a billion light-years across, and Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un meet at an east Russian cosmodrome seemingly to discuss space collaboration efforts…

Second time's a charm. Chandrayaan-3 makes India the first country to reach the Moon's southern pole. Artificial Intelligence takes the pressure off … finding a Near Earth Asteroid has now gotten twice as fast… and Australia's three space launch providers have news to share. From a multi-year deal at ELA to permanent facility approval at Southern Launch and streamlining technology integration at Gilmour Space.

It’s the 29th week of 2023. In research led by a West Aussie, a new type of stellar object has been discovered. India launches Chandrayaan Three, their second attempt to land on the lunar surface. And more evidence found supporting the theory that Mars once had the building blocks of life…

Southern Launch's new corporate look, possible fingerprints of gravitational waves, a planet that shouldn't exist, and just what the heck is THAT on the moon?
