https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9P_8oZ4rCA Hosted and recorded by: Fraser Cain (@frasercain) From Oct 23, 2026. The Japanese mission is off to Phobos. Heck, to Deimos too! And, actually, there are green stars. Lots of colors to choose from! You want purple? We got purple! Also: Dark matter interacts with dark matter, a mysterious Martian cloud, Euclid discovers a comet, the Milky Way's disc, a mini-mini quasar, NGC 7129 & Seagull nebula (SH 2-292) photos, Patreon question answered!

Hosted by: Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) From July 2, 2020. Join us today as we talk about the first exposed planetary core ever discovered. We examine research that neutrinos may come from supermassive black holes. We look at the filaments found in the halo of galaxy cluster Abell 2255. And we find out that LIGO's mirrors can vibrate due to quantum noise.
https://www.youtube.com/live/H0qVigc9gnQ Hosted by: Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) Book Talk with Dr. Kimberly K. Arcand & Megan Watzke. Streamed live on Feb 6, 2026. When some of our favorite people have a new book on one of our favorite topics, you know we have to have them on! We are super pleased to be joined by Dr. Kimberly K. Arcand and Megan Watzke who discuss their new book "Why Space Will Freak You Out" (Amazon Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/4rzGtXw ). This colorful book, which mixes illustrations and observations of our Universe, launches February 10. Join us to learn how they picked their targets, and why you should and should not fear our universe.
Written & hosted by our Director, Avivah Yamani. Why do astronomers call oxygen and carbon metals? Explore how stars created the elements that formed planets, and eventually, us!
Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Who knew? Dear Cheap Astronomy – Do gravitons exist? Once again we're dealing with something hypothetical here – so much like virtual particle pairs that pop out of nowhere and can evaporate black holes, it's entirely possible that gravitons exist, but at this time it's probably appropriate to entertain the notion that they might not exist either. Ten years ago we would have said the same thing about the Higgs boson, but that was positively identified by the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 and hence moved from being a hypothetical to a real particle at that time.

Gay (@CosmoQuest) Today we continue looking at space exploration technologies. This time we will examine thrusters, which can reorient a spacecraft and help it maneuver in space. Maximum flexibility but you need to bring along some propellant.
