- Solar Storms and Satellite Impact: In this episode, we delve into the effects of solar storms on our satellites, revealing how geomagnetic storms can accelerate orbital decay. Discover insights from researcher Yoshita Barua on how different types of solar events impact satellite performance and how we can design more resilient spacecraft to withstand these cosmic tempests.
- First Look at the Sun's Poles: Join us as we celebrate a monumental achievement from the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter, which has provided humanity's first images of the Sun's poles. These groundbreaking visuals offer new perspectives on solar magnetic fields and the dynamics of solar plasma, shedding light on the Sun's complex behaviour.
- Unpacking Black Holes: Prepare for a mind-bending discussion on the mysteries of black holes. We explore recent theories attempting to resolve the singularity conundrum, including the controversial idea that black holes may spawn new universes. Could this be the key to understanding the enigmatic interiors of these cosmic giants?
- SpaceX's Starship Ambitions: Get the latest updates on SpaceX's Starship programme, with exciting developments in Florida as the company prepares for ambitious launch plans. We discuss the implications of the newly released draft Environmental Impact Statement and what it means for future space exploration.
- Uranus's Rusty Moons: Finally, we investigate intriguing new findings about Uranus's moons, which are accumulating dust from tiny meteorite impacts. Discover how this phenomenon challenges previous assumptions about the moons' surface characteristics and the potential role of Uranus's magnetic field.
