Episode Notes

Interstellar Objects (ISO) are back in the news, thanks to the arrival of 3I/ATLAS in our Solar System. But what do we actually know about this object? All indications are that it is a comet that poses no threat to Earth. Like it's predecessors, including the mysterious 'Oumuamua, it represents the dawn of a new era in astronomy.

Episode Notes

For decades, scientists believed they had a pretty good idea of how the Universe worked. But with the deployment of Webb, a number of discoveries have emerged that are challenging this assumption. As new discoveries challenge old assumptions, scientists are beginning to wonder. Is the Standard Model of Cosmology wrong, or does it just need some adjustments?

Episode Notes

The decision to name the Next Generation Space Telescope after former administrator James E. Webb has led to significant controversy and demands that it be renamed. This issue has shone a light on a dark period in the history of the U.S. and NASA and has raised questions about the agency's naming conventions.
