The Mercury-bound BepiColombo spacecraft will observe Venus during tonight's pass, on the hunt for phosphine and sulfur-dioxide.

When a black hole consumes a star, it does so by turning it into spaghetti first. Astronomers have seen it happen.

The Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) caught another intriguing object on August 2, 2020 as part of its extended sky survey mission, as Comet C/2020 P1 NEOWISE is set to become a fine binocular object in late October and early November.

When black holes collide, they emit chirps of gravitational waves even after they have merged.

A recent white paper submitted to the PSA Decadal Survey 2023-2032 recommends that a lunar observatory be built that can search the Universe for signs of intelligent life!

A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy shows how a "Sun Diver," a light sail that dives closer to the Sun, could make these promising spacecraft much faster!

With all the satellite constellations heading to space in the near future, there are concerns they will interfere with radio telescopes like the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)

This week we welcome back to the show Dr. David Warmflash. Since he was last with us, David has been named as Co-Principal Investigator and Medical Director for a new NASA Small Business Innovation Research (SBRI) Phase I study titled "Mixed-Reality Holographic Training System to Enable High-Value Surgical and Complex Medical Procedures by Astronauts."

Because gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, they can be lensed just as light waves are. But observing this effect will be difficult.
