    Mars, Rovers and Theses

    This episode starts with some exciting news for Rose before looking at the Red planet. One of our nearest neighbours, and a target for space exploration, Rose and Elliott look at how unlike the Earth Mars really is. Is Mars really as you expect it to be? As well as some of the features of the Martian environment, the duo look back at the history of Mars exploration and the potential future for human colonisation. Note: this episode was due to be released last week but unfortunately family circumstances made that impossible.

    The End of the Universe and how we get there

    This time Rose and Elliott speed into the future as they look at some of the cosmic events that are headed our way in the ever more distant future. From hypernovae to supervolcanos, the future of the Sun and the Milky Way and ending at the ultimate end, the death of the Universe, they look at what lies ahead, what ending is most likely for our reality, and if we can even really have a chance of knowing.

    Red dwarfs, M dwarfs and the difference between them

    Rose and Elliott discuss small stars this week, looking at M dwarfs and how they relate to red dwarfs and brown dwarfs. What do these stars have in common, why do they behave so differently and why do they push what makes a star to the limit?
