An all-listener questions episode. Hear what's on the minds of our listeners. Explore the mysterious universe and uncover the secrets of dark matter and dark energy with Andrew and Fred. "Matter tells space how to bend. Space tells matter how to move." - John Wheeler Professor Fred Watson is an astronomer and science communicator, best known for his work in the field of astrophysics. He is a regular contributor to numerous science-related media outlets around the globe. Professor Fred Watson was taken aback by Rusty's question about how the rotation curves vary with wavelength. After exploring Einstein's famous theory of gravity, Fred discussed the dangers of the neutron star and the web of dark matter that formed structures in the universe. He explained that dark energy, while being uniform throughout the universe, was the cause of the universe's accelerating expansion. He then discussed the possibility of dark matter black holes, concluding that they should behave the same as normal matter black holes. Finally, he discussed the research done by colleagues in Australia which suggested that the speed of light may have been different in the past. This thought-provoking conversation left Fred and the listeners with questions to ponder. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What phenomena would you encounter if you were magically transported to a neutron star? 2. What is the difference between dark matter and dark energy and how do they interact with each other? 3. Could the speed of light or charge of the electron have been different in the past?

In this episode of the podcast, Fred Watson embarks on a journey to the National Press Club to attend a big event featuring NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, only to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and caught in a thunderstorm. "If you're going to bet on where the most likely place for an eruption to occur on Venus, this would be it. It's the tallest volcano on the planet." Fred Watson was in a hotel room in Canberra when a thunderstorm struck, sending him scrambling to unplug his electronics. While there, he heard about the National Press Club lunch with the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson, and his deputy, Pam Melroy. He managed to get a ticket and attended the event, where he learned about the volcanically active planet Venus. Robert Herrick, a planetary scientist at the University of Alaska, had detected a particular volcanic vent that had changed in shape and size over an eight month period. Professor Herrick suggested that this could be a recent volcanic event; and Trevor Allen's research on the carbonaceous asteroid, 162173 Ryugu, uncovered evidence of uracil, a component of RNA molecules. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What is the Veritas mission and how could it further our understanding of volcanoes on Venus?Herrick 2. How did researchers detect uracil in the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu? 3. How does the sun's core lose mass and energy and how does it become visible radiation?

When an ambitious astrophysicist discovers a lone galaxy 9.2 billion light years away, she unravels the mystery of a fossil cluster, uncovering an unexpected twist in the evolution of carbon in the universe. In this episode, learn about astronomy topics - Quasars, Big Bang, and Carbon formation in the universe - from a conversation between Andrew and Fred about Dr. Rebecca Davis' research. They discuss how carbon started forming in the universe, which is important as we are a carbon based life form. The research found that in the early universe there was more cold carbon than warm carbon and it may be due to the first generation of stars. This research also paves the way for future investigations with the Square Kilometer Array to detect neutral hydrogen during a key phase of the universe's history. Furthermore, there is an example of extreme galactic cannibalism, with a distant galaxy called 3 C 297, which appears to be alone in space due to gobbling up all it's neighbours. "During the period when the first stars and galaxies are forming, a lot of heavy elements are forming because we never had carbon before we had stars. One possible reason for this rapid rise is just that we're seeing the products of the first generation of stars." In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. Australian astrophysicists have uncovered a crucial new development in understanding the evolution of carbon in the universe. 2. An extremely distant and old galaxy, 3C 297, is all alone in space, because it ate its friends. 3. Astronomers have discovered the earliest fossil group ever found, suggesting that galaxies gobbling up their partners and friends happened much earlier in the universe than previously thought.

Hi there, thanks for joining us. This is Space Nuts. I'm your host, Andrew Dunkley. Hope you can stick around. We've got a lot to talk about today. What time is it on the moon? It's moon time.
It could be daytime, could be night-time. It depends where you are, but we're talking about real time.
We'll elaborate in this episode and offer up some solutions. There might be a new way to find Planet Nine. We're going to look at some sunrays on Mars and the dark Big Bang Theory. We'll also be answering some audience questions and much, much more on this episode of Space Nuts. "Throughout human history, exploration has actually been a key driver of improved timekeeping and geodetic reference models." The idea is how do you define time on the Moon. Do you have lots of different time zones, like we have on Earth? Or do you have a single lunar time zone? A joint international effort is now being launched towards achieving this. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How is time being defined on the Moon? 2. What is Planet Nine and can we find it? 3. Have Crepuscular Rays been seen on Mars for the first time?

Experience the awe-inspiring power of the universe with a journey to see the aurora australis and witness spaghettification first-hand! Learn about Aurora displays from this Space Nuts podcast episode featuring Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley. Apparently, people have been seeing these aurora displays in unusual places due to various plasma bubbles being spat out from the sun. This is not surprising as we are approaching the solar maximum, which is the regular up and down trend in the number of sunspots that appear on the sun. These sunspots are highly intense regions of magnetism that release energy in the form of plasma bubbles which cause the green, red and sometimes purple lights of the aurora. It is unusual for people to be seeing the aurora in places such as the UK, and the best time to look is near the equinox. Plus we’re witnessing a spaghettification first hand, but what exactly is that, and lastly, the Space Station was damaged by a micrometeoroid and a rescue mission is underway. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. People are seeing the aurora in unexpected places - what is causing this phenomenon? 2. What will happen to the mysterious gas cloud X-7 as it passes closest to a black hole in 2036? 3. An uncrewed rescue mission was sent to the International Space Station - what was the mission and why was it necessary?

When listener Daniel poses a theory linking black holes to dark matter and dark energy, Andrew and Fred embark on an adventure to uncover the truth and explore the potential for a Nobel Prize, but must prove the revolutionary theory before time runs out. You will learn how to unlock the secrets of the mysterious dark energy that powers the universe.
Show Notes Learn about Dark energy with Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson. They discussed the potential for the discovery of a source for dark energy, which Daniel from Adelaide theorized could be black holes that suck up normal matter and energy and convert them to dark matter and dark energy. C0-incidentally, a paper published this week links black holes to dark energy, but not dark matter. It states that black holes generate an energy that is somehow coupled to the universe's expansion, providing the energy required for the universe's acceleration. Duncan Farrer of the University of Hawaii said that this is the first proposed astrophyiscal source for dark energy and could result in a Nobel Prize. Lastly, they discussed the danger of rubble pile asteroids, and other listener questions. "Keep an eye on your letterboxes, because that's sure to arrive. Great stuff, Daniel. And you are, in a sense, ahead of the curve there because for the first time we've seen this week a paper, scientific paper, that exactly does that links black holes with dark energy. Not with dark matter, but with dark energy. Now, what is different from the Daniel theory is the mechanism for this. It doesn't involve things being spat out of black holes at speed of light'. In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. Could black holes be the source of dark matter and dark energy?
2. Are black holes the source of the energy that is causing the universe to expand ever more rapidly?
3. What would happen if the Earth's magnetic field flipped?

Show Notes:
After a decade of searching, a determined Mars rover discovers an eerily familiar formation of an ancient crater, inciting an interplanetary investigation of the phenomenon of pareidolia. You will learn the mysteries of the Red Planet and the latest updates on Mars exploration. Learn about Mars exploration through a lively conversation between Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson on Space Nuts. They discussed the phenomenon of pareidolia, where people find familiar shapes in random objects, and how it has been seen on Mars in the form of faces, hats, and other shapes. They also talked about the rover Perseverance and its mission to collect samples which have been left on the surface in 10 sealed tubes. They have now been dropped at a geographical location called Three Forks. Lastly, they discussed the camera on the rover's arm called Watson, which uses spectroscopy to analyze the rock samples. "We try to humanize everything we do humanize it. It's great because it draws attention to what's going on around it and maybe they get interested and have a look at some more. We just seem to gravitate to faces, don't we? Especially smiley ones. Well, that's good. I mean, you don't really want evil faces in space." In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What is the phenomenon of pareidolia, and how does it explain why we see faces in inanimate objects? 2. What happened when the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured an image of a "Paddington Bear" on the surface of Mars? 3. What advanced technologies are being used to collect and analyze samples from the surface of Mars?

Thank you for joining us on Space Nuts where we talk astronomy and space science every week. I hope you well. Coming up in this edition indestructible asteroids - yep they've got some samples they've hit him with a hammer and nothing happened and we're talking asteroids that are made of rubble. But it turns out to be more like reinforced concrete. We're also going to look at machine learning or artificial intelligence for the discovery, maybe, of extraterrestrial life. And we're going to answer some questions about gravity and astronauts. What happens when they're going maybe from here to Mars? What's the gravity like compared to orbiting the planet or lack of there? So how is a light year measured? Very carefully. And what pushes rockets in space? We will tell you all of that if we can.

It looks as though there's a mystery being solved that has hung around for decades regarding the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, which we see from down here in the Southern Hemisphere, the large and small Magellanic Cloud, among many others of them. That looks as though it's been solved by scientists, including somebody I know quite well actually from the University of Durham. Also, we're going to talk about something I know nothing about, the possibility that dark matter might turn out to be dark photons. All in Space Nuts 336. Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff.

Thanks for joining us.
This is Space Nuts where we talk astronomy and space science. My name is Andrew Dunkley, your host, and this is an all-question episode. Your questions and our answers.

Well, almost. We'll be hearing about spin launch. Somebody's not so much sent a question in, but they've been there and wanted to tell us about it.

But questions about the radial velocity of stars, negative gravity, dark matter, and the Casimir effect, and much, much more.

Thanks for joining us on Space Nuts, the podcast about astronomy and space science
also heard on community radio across Australia.
My name is Andrew Dunkley, your host. And coming up on this edition, we're going to be looking at the Square Kilometre Array.
And the reason is because you can actually look at it because they've started building the thing. Also, some interesting findings by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Mars appears to be active, much more active than we would have considered.
Some new evidence has come to light and a bit of an update on Artemis 1 and questions about the end of the life of the sun and Terra forming an ice moon. That's all to come on this edition of Space Nuts.

We've got a bunch of really interesting and quite provocative stories this week.

A story about how volcanism might have shaped the atmosphere of the planet Venus.

And another story about something we’ve never talked about and that is filaments in the centers of galaxies. I used to think of a filament as being something that lit up a light bulb although they don't have that anymore, but these are filaments of hot gas which have been detected and are really quite mysterious.

And we'll answer questions about anti-matter and anti-protons, space junk, relativity, and one question we don't really understand, but it came from Rusty in Western Australia. So that's understandable in itself.

That's all coming up on this edition of Space Nuts, episode 333.

The James Webb Space Telescope has analyzed the atmosphere of an exoplanet and found astonishing new evidence of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. In this episode, you will learn:
1. The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered new atmospheric compositions on the exoplanet Wasp-39b, including sulfur dioxide, potassium, and carbon monoxide.
2. The shape of our galaxy may be more complicated than previously thought, with a halo of stars and other objects surrounding the disk of stars.
3. The Gaia spacecraft has measured the positions and motions of stars with unprecedented accuracy, providing new insights into the structure of our galaxy.

"The latest results, though, they were pretty impressive, what we've heard so far. But the ones that we're seeing now are really quite staggering because the Webb using its infrared equipment in a way that lets you investigate the atmosphere of this planet as it passes in front of its parent

I'm joined by Professor Fred Watson on Space Nuts, where we talk astronomy, space science, and how to solve some of your pet problems. We're discussing a new discovery by the James Webb Space Telescope which analyzed the atmosphere of an exoplanet and found some astonishing results. We're also looking at the true shape of our galaxy, which turns out to be more like a football than a sphere. And with the World Cup on, I thought we would have been no, not at all. We're going to answer questions about Jodrell bank and surprise, surprise, dark matter and black holes all coming up on the very next edition, this one of Space Nuts

Coming up on this edition, We will be talking at last about the launch of Artemis 1, which is just fabulous news. And we'll talk about that mission.
On the other side of the coin, some documentary makers have discovered a chunk
of the Challenger shuttle in the Atlantic Ocean, which is a somber reminder of tragedies past.
And astronomers have found a black hole. And if you open your door, there it is. It's fairly close to earth.
Plus audience questions coming up today, about spin launch the Barnard 68 Void and Sagittarius A star, all on this edition of Space Nuts.

We've got an episode that divides by five. So, it means it's all questions.
And we've got a range of questions today, which cover the whole universe, basically. Several about the moon, which is a great one because by chance today there is an eclipse of the moon.
But they range from that out to vertical particles in the universe and the origin of dark matter.

Plus, we look at some really exciting observations of what you might call prebiotic molecules, the kind of molecules that make up the building blocks of life, how they are affected by nearby black holes. Worked that one out. Plus listener questions. It’s all in Space Nuts 329.Enjoy!

In this episode, we're going to visit Jupiter's moon Europa because there's new stuff from Europa, we've got new images which have come back from a flyby by the Juno spacecraft, plus some work about the plumes of ice that might come out of the surface of Europa.
Then we're going to go to the distant universe to talk about gravitational lenses with some new work that has been done here in Australia.
We'll also be answering some audience questions. Ian wants to know about Venus and Mars. It's a great Paul McCartney album. I think that's the answer to the question. Also the size of Earth, earth by perception. And Gus wants to talk about dark matter. Or do we have to - yes, we do.

We'll also be taking some audience questions. One about antimatter, and I love this one a hypothetical - fishing in a black hole. Now, there's more to it than that, and you won't catch fish in a black hole. They will already be spaghettified. But what happens if you're a fish in a black hole?

So we've got questions about Artemis 1, dark matter, flickering stars, Spacetime holes, gravity and terraforming Venus.

Space Nuts Q&A: Gravity Without Mass, Energy and Gravity, and Early GalaxiesJoin Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson in this engaging Q&A episode of Space Nuts, where they tackle intriguing questions from our listeners about gravity, energy, and the movement of galaxies.
Episode Highlights:

• Gravity Without Mass? Steve from New Zealand asks if gravity can exist without mass. Fred dives into the complexities of this question, exploring the relationship between energy and mass, and whether this could offer an alternative explanation for dark matter.
• - Energy and Gravity: Gus from Issaquah, Washington, ponders whether energy creates gravity and if a gravitational field itself generates energy and mass. Fred discusses the potential implications and the concept of gravitational energy.
• - Early Galaxies Moving Towards Us: Nick from Auckland, New Zealand, wonders if early galaxies could be moving towards us, currently out of reach. Fred explains the mechanics of galaxy movements and the Doppler effect, shedding light on whether such galaxies could be hidden from view.

Andrew: Hello again. Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. We've got the next episode. coming up and to tell us what's going to be on episode 322, Astronomer at Large. Fred Watson.
Fred: Hot off the press stories, as always. We've got a new mineral that has been discovered on the Moon by Chinese scientists which sounds really interesting. And we've got some less than good news, I guess, to report on two of the space missions that are uppermost in our mind. Artemis One and Blue Origin.
Andrew: Okay we'll look into those issues, and we will get questions from Rebecca in Geelong, who is asking about with the Moon being hit by pieces of rock on a regular basis and what that might do to future Moon bases and Moon missions.

Andrew: Hello again. My name is Andrew Dunkley, the host of the Space Nuts podcast and joining me is Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What’s on this episode Fred?
Fred: Magical episode as always, Andrew. We've got, the first exoplanet imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope. Really exciting to actually see directly the image of a planet for the first time. And we're going to talk about that well known asteroid impact experiment called DART, because we have news on that and some sad news as well about the passing of Professor Frank Drake of Drake Equation fame.
Andrew: Yes, indeed, very sad news there, but lots to talk about on the very next episode and some audience questions as well. So, I hope you can stay with us for episode 321 of Space Nuts.

Andrew: Hello again. I'm Andrew Dunkley from the Space Nuts podcast, hoping you can join us on this episode. And my partner in crime is Professor Fred Watson, Astronomer at Large. Hi, Fred. What's coming up on episode three one nine?
Fred: We've got some great stuff as always, Andrew. We're going to ask the question, did the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs have a companion object that was traveling with it? That's an intriguing thing to look at. We're also going to look at some new observations of the largest known star in the universe. Wow.
Andrew: Okay. It's not you, is it?
Fred: Well, apart from me.
Andrew: A lot of people would say it's you.
Fred: No, I don't think so. But thank you very much for the compliment. And thank you to those people as well.
Andrew: Now, we'll also be hearing from a few of those people, some questions from the audience about Dyson Spheres, the Barycenter of the Earth and the Moon, and cosmic microwave background radiation. That’s one of the really interesting questions we're going to tackle. All coming up on this episode of Space Nuts. Download from your favorite podcast distributor.

Space Nuts Episode 318 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hi there. Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. Hope you can join us for episode 318. What are we going to be talking about, Fred?
Fred: We're going to talk about the discovery of a moon of an asteroid. And it's an important asteroid because this one is going to be visited by the Lucy spacecraft in the late 2020s.
We're also going to talk about upside down snow falling, or should it be rising, in the ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa. And there are listener questions to come which haven't yet revealed to me, but I understand they might be on the James Webb Space.
Andrew: They might be, because a lot of people are really fascinated by the James Webb Space Telescope, and that spawns a lot of questions.
So that's indeed what we will be talking about in episode 318 of Space Nuts with me, Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large.

Fred: Action Pack show as always, Andrew. We're going to talk about more observations that suggest that dark matter is not what we think it is. And we're also going to talk about a new supercomputer that we've got here in Australia. And I'm going to explain why I'm wearing this hi-vis vest.
Andrew: Yes, I'm wondering. It's not a good look.
Fred: Wait till you see what it is.
Andrew: Okay. All right will do. We'll also be answering some audience questions, but Fred doesn't know what they are. We're going to do a bit of a potluck on him this week. He doesn't like it. But occasionally, it's fun to see how things pan out.

Andrew: We will also be answering some audience questions.
