Gas Giants Around White Dwarfs: How Planets Survive Stellar Death
11/2/2026 | 34 mins.
This episode explores new research showing that while most planets are destroyed when stars become red giants, a small number of gas giants can survive.

By staying in wide orbits or migrating toward a white dwarf, these rare worlds endure stellar death—explaining why Jupiter-like planets are so uncommon around dead stars.

Primordial Explosions: Solving the Dark Matter Neutrino Mystery
10/2/2026 | 34 mins.
This episode explores a bold proposal suggesting a record-breaking neutrino detected in 2023 may have come from the explosion of a primordial black hole.

Formed in the early universe and emitting energy via Hawking radiation, these exotic objects could carry a hidden dark charge—offering clues to the nature of dark matter and new particles beyond known physics.
AI Takes the Wheel: Autonomous Driving on Mars
09/2/2026 | 27 mins.
This episode explores how NASA’s Perseverance rover completed its first Mars drives guided by generative AI.

Using vision-language models to analyze orbital images and terrain, the system planned safe routes without real-time human control—overcoming Earth–Mars communication delays.

These tests mark a major step toward fully autonomous planetary exploration and future human missions.

JWST’s Quintet: Five-Galaxy Merger in the Early Universe
07/2/2026 | 29 mins.
Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, this episode explores a rare five-galaxy merger seen just 800 million years after the Big Bang. Known as JWST’s Quintet, the discovery shows galaxies forming stars and interacting far earlier and faster than expected.

A surrounding oxygen halo reveals that these collisions were already spreading heavy elements into space, forcing astronomers to rethink how galaxies formed in the early universe.

Stellar Flares Near the Milky Way’s Black Hole
05/2/2026 | 29 mins.
This episode explores how the South Pole Telescope detected powerful millimeter-wave stellar flares near the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole.

Triggered by magnetic reconnection, these bursts reveal how stars and their magnetic fields survive in one of the galaxy’s most extreme, dust-shrouded regions.
