EVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
This week we’re doing something we’ve never done before; we’re dedicating the majority of the show to a single story: SpaceX’s recurring failure to follow the rules, regulations, and norms of international spaceflight. We have the receipts, and we hope that you will hear us out before you hit that comment button.
info_outline Planning for Asteroid Attacks, Dino Prints Cross Ocean, Viper Updates, & moreEVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including volcanic glass beads, dino prints that span the ocean, a deep dive into asteroid exploration, and tales from the launch pad.
info_outline Mars is the future, the day the Dinos Died, a Star's Death in 3 Acts, and moreEVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including new info on the origins of the Dino Killing asteroid, a star being nommed by a star, a deep dive into Mars exploration, and tales from the launch pad.
info_outline NASA Budget Woes May Murder MissionsEVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including Hubble, Chandra, and VIPER face cuts/cancellations, weird exoplanet orbits, Roman gains an instrument, and tales from the launch pad.
info_outline Found: 1 Intermediate Mass Black HoleEVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including how Jupiter's Great Red Spot went missing, Io's Lava Lake, Titan's coastal erosion, and this week's tales from the launch pad. We also take a close look at the discovery of the first intermediate-mass black hole in the Omega Centauri globular cluster
info_outline JWST Reveals Star Formation DetailsEVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including Mars Perseverance Rover fords an ancient river, black holes sometimes form like baby stars, and this week's tales from the launch pad. We also look in detail at how JWST images reveal star formation in never-before-seen details.
info_outline Planning to go back to the moonEVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
Let's take a quick tour of the latest news, including updates on the Hubble Space Telescopes and single gyro operations, EUCLID's image release, an amazing new image of Io by LBT, and new calculations of Pluto's oceans. We also look in detail at plans to return humans to the moon using Starship by SpaceX and Blue Moon by Blue Origin.
info_outline Climate in Crisis (and stars in formation)EVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
In this episode, we bring you stories on how JWST - Not LIGO and Virgo - spotted the most distant Black Hole merge to date, why the search for life on other worlds gets more challenging the more we look, and we take a deep dive into the things we’re doing that cause and relieve climate change.
info_outline Carrington 2024EVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at Sunspot complex 3664 and the beautiful chaos that it’s been creating. And because we’re in a planetary science kind of mood, we’re also looking at stories related to observing weather on alien worlds, the history of Mars Climate, and even how solar storms might affect that particular Red Planet.
info_outline Io and Juno Begin to Part WaysEVSN: Escape Velocity Space News
In February, on the closest approach, NASA's Juno spacecraft was within 930 miles of the closest moon Io’s surface. Since then, Juno’s orbit has been shrinking, bringing the mission closer to Jupiter and away from the circling Galilean moons. Io and Juno have parted ways, and Juno is now snuggling down into tighter orbits around her Jupiter.
info_outlineIn this episode, we look at what tree rings can teach us about past earthquakes, and how well machine learning can identify life, like trees, from carbon-rich materials that were never alive to distant galaxies and spinning black holes. We even take a deep dive into anti-matter, but not a literal deep dive… just a conceptual deep dive.
