In this episode, we discuss the potential source of the most energetic neutrino ever detected, and whether or not it came from a Blazar.

In this episode, we explore two discoveries reshaping the search for habitable worlds beyond our Solar System. First, we examine LHS 1140 b, a rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone that has retained an atmosphere despite orbiting an active red dwarf, and how detecting escaping helium could help scientists understand its potential for habitability.  Then, we investigate the hidden challenge of exoz...

In this episode, we explore two discoveries reshaping our understanding of the universe. First, we discuss rocky exoplanets with helium-dominated atmospheres and how these unusual worlds could remain habitable while becoming ideal targets for future telescopes. Then, we examine the first confirmed discovery of newborn stars and complex organic molecules inside a supernova remnant, challenging long...

In this episode, we will discuss how asteroid impacts may have helped early life evolve on Earth, and the discovery of a giant exoplanet with permanently cloudy mornings and clear evenings.
