    The Space, Astronomy & Science Podcast.
    SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 34
    *SpaceX's Starship Tests the Limits of Spaceflight
    In a breathtaking display of rocketry, SpaceX's Starship edges closer to the stars, nearly perfecting its third flight test. The behemoth of engineering, the Starship Super Heavy, roared through the Texan skies, reaching for orbital velocity. Despite a few hiccups, including the loss of both the Starship and its Super Heavy booster, the test marked significant progress towards SpaceX's ambitious goals for space colonization.
    *Voyager 1: The Silent Pioneer's Uncertain Future
    Voyager 1, humanity's farthest-flung emissary, is now sending back puzzling signals from interstellar space. After over four decades of travel, the spacecraft's communication has become erratic, leaving scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory scrambling to decode the mystery. Could this be the twilight of the mission that has reshaped our understanding of the solar system?
    *A New Window into the High-Energy Cosmos
    The EROSITA telescope, despite geopolitical tensions, has beamed back a treasure trove of X-ray data, revealing the energetic intricacies of the universe like never before. Australian scientists leverage this data to unveil the violent dance of a star shredded by a black hole and the haunting remnants of a supernova. These cosmic cataclysms, observed in unprecedented detail, offer clues to the violent processes shaping galaxies and the fate of stars.
    *Rocket Lab's Back-to-Back Launch Success
    Hot on the heels of a groundbreaking space debris removal satellite launch, Rocket Lab continues its winning streak with the 45th Electron rocket launch. The mission expands an Earth observation constellation, proving the company's rapid launch capabilities. With eyes now set on their first launch from American soil, Rocket Lab is poised to make space access even more routine.

    *The Black Hole that Ripped Apart a Star
    In a cosmic display of destruction, astronomers have witnessed the closest recorded incident of a star being devoured by a supermassive black hole. The event, spotted in galaxy NGC 3799, was observed in visible light, offering unprecedented insights into these violent phenomena. The tidal disruption event, now cataloged as Assassin 23 BD, emitted less energy and faded more rapidly than typical cases, placing it in a unique classification and suggesting such occurrences may be more common than once thought.
    *Hunting New Physics in Neutron Star Wrecks
    The cataclysmic mergers of neutron stars could be hiding secrets of new physics, with potential clues about the enigmatic dark matter. The historic GW170817 collision, which sent ripples through space-time, has now been used to constrain theories on axion-like particles. These elusive entities could be part of the dark matter puzzle, and their traces might be detectable in future neutron star mergers, offering a new window into the fundamental workings of the universe.
    *Guardian Gas Giants and Their Terrestrial Charges
    A new study suggests that Earth-like planets often come with Jupiter-like protectors. Simulations of planetary systems show that "dry" super-Earths and distant "cold" Jupiters frequently coexist, with the gas giants acting as cosmic shields. This relationship hints at a formation pattern where massive protoplanetary disks give rise to both rocky worlds and their gaseous sentinels, providing a glimpse into the architecture of alien solar systems.
    *China's Moonwalk Ambitions by 2030
    China has set its sights on the Moon, with plans to land taikonauts on the lunar surface before the end of the decade. The ambitious project involves the development of the Long March 10 rocket, a new spacecraft, and a lunar lander. In a two-launch scenario, the vehicles will rendezvous in lunar orbit, setting the stage for China's historic manned moon landing and furthering their collaboration with Russia on a lunar base.
    Plus, we examine the latest space news, delve into the science of extreme heat and preterm births, and explore the mystery of microplastics in human arteries.

    *Juno's Icy Encounter: Oxygen Production on Europa
    NASA's Juno spacecraft has made a groundbreaking discovery, directly measuring charged oxygen and hydrogen molecules on Jupiter's icy moon Europa. With findings reported in Nature Astronomy, this revelation provides critical insights into the moon's global subsurface ocean's potential habitability. Juno's flyby uncovers the atmospheric composition of Europa, offering a new understanding of its surface ice and the intriguing possibility that oxygen may fuel life deep within the moon's ocean.
    *White Dwarf Stars Defying the Cooling Process
    Astronomers are left baffled by a population of white dwarf stars that have mysteriously ceased cooling, a finding that upends long-standing theories about stellar evolution. The discovery, reported in the journal Nature, suggests that some white dwarfs might be generating extra energy, challenging the way scientists determine the age of these ancient celestial remnants and the history of our galaxy.
    *Unlocking Neptune's Past with Icy Asteroids
    The Kuiper Belt's icy rocks may hold the key to Neptune's formation. A study of the binary asteroid system Moore's Somnus, detailed in Astronomy and Astrophysics, suggests that the ice giants' tumultuous past and the solar system's evolution are etched in these frozen bodies. The research, aided by the James Webb Space Telescope, provides a glimpse into the chemistry and physics that shaped the outer reaches of our planetary neighborhood.
    *Japan's Lunar Lander: A Survivor of the Lunar Night
    JAXA's lunar lander, Slim, has unexpectedly survived the frigid lunar night and phoned home. Initially landing on its side, the probe managed to conduct scientific observations during a brief solar recharge. As Slim enters sleep mode once more, mission managers anticipate another attempt at revival with the next lunar dawn, marking Japan's advancement in lunar exploration.

Informative with extra loud commercials

Like: Great information presented well.

Do not like: Frequent and jarring, painfully loud commercials. Would prefer longer, more infrequent commercial breaks with content offered at normal volumes.

Jplatt- ,

Solid useful information

I enjoyed Space Time with Stuart Gary. I have gotten useful perspectives on things from outside the US. Good detailed reporting. Some reports from other sources he uses are hard to follow. Sound quality sometimes slips. I only quit listening because of pay wall. Retired and not wanting to add new expenses.

Deirdre Tshien ,

Great show!

Navigating the vastness of space through this podcast is both enlightening and captivating. It's a journey that feeds the curiosity without overwhelming, making the cosmos feel just a tad closer. Deirdre
