Direct link 82: First evidence of Quantum fluctuations in deep space - SpaceTime with Stuart Gary

20 Oct 2017, 07:48 UTC Stream episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly) *First evidence of Quantum fluctuations in deep space Evidence of a strange quantum effect first predicted in the 1930 may have been detected by astronomers studying the light emitted from an extraordinarily dense and strongly magnetised neutron star The polarisation of the observed light suggests that the empty space around the neutron star is subject to a quantum effect known as vacuum birefringence. *Out of control Chinese space station about to crash back to Earth China has confirmed that its Tiangong-1 orbiting space lab is out of control and likely to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere at any moment. Beijing says the eight and a half tone orbiting outpost is expected to re-enter the atmosphere between now and April next year -- depending on orbital decay rates. *Back to the Moon US Vice President Mike Pence has called on NASA to return humans to the Moon. The call comes in the wake of Russia’s announcement that it will join the United States in building the new Deep Space Gateway space station which will be positioned in near lunar space. *How a cold frozen Mars could have carved the planet’s warm wet features Scientists ...

18 Oct 2017, 12:00 UTC The half-truth and misconception addressed in this episode is whether the age of a star with error bars that overlap with the age of the universe means all of science is wrong and the universe was created 6000 years ago.

Direct link 81: First neutron star merger confirmed through gravitational waves - SpaceTime with Stuart Gary

18 Oct 2017, 06:51 UTC Stream episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly) *First neutron star merger confirmed through gravitational waves Astronomers have for the first time detected gravitational waves generated by merging neutron stars. The findings involved the detection on August 17 of the collision of two neutron stars each slightly more massive than the Sun -- in a relatively nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 4993, about 130 million light-years away. *Mapping the far side of the Milky Way Astronomers have for the first time directly measured the distance to a star-forming region on the far side of the Milky Way Galaxy. The study reaches deep into the Milky Way’s terra incognita and nearly doubles the previous record for distance measurement within the galaxy. *CERN smashes Xenon ions The Large Hardon Collider at CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research has undertaken its first Xenon ion collisions. The eight-hour event allowed the, ATLAS, ALICE, CMS and LHCb experiments situated around the 27-kilometre-long underground ring to record xenon nuclei collisions for the first time. *Stormy Titan sculptures the landscape Titan, the largest of Saturn’s more than 60 moons, has surprisingly intense rainstorms. The findings are based on the detection of alluvial fans on Titan by NASA’s ...
