SpaceTime with Stuart Gary

AP makes no secret of the fact that he loves his OC818 from Austrian Audio, and I have to agree that it is a beautiful match to his warm tones. But at $1200 USD it's not exactly a bargain.

So what about its little brother the OC18 ($850)? Not quite as many bells and whistles, but is it even in the same league? AP has one in his hot little hands so we aim to find out.

We also thought we'd throw him in a pair of their new HI-X65's open-back headphones and see what he thought...

Yep, they're a sponsor of this podcast! Let me get that out of the way first off. BUT... They are also making some of the most groundbreaking (and in my humble opinion) some of the best Microphones and Headphones on the market today. Austrian Audio recently released a new entry-level Mic, the OC16, so we took the opportunity to put it up against its stable mates the OC18 and OC818 to see how it stacks up... A big shout out to our sponsors, Austrian Audio and Tri Booth. Both these companies are providers of QUALITY Audio Gear (we wouldn't partner with them unless they were), so please, if you're in the market for some new kit, do us a solid and check out their products, and be sure to tell em "Robbo, George, Robert, and AP sent you"... As a part of their generous support of our show, Tri Booth is offering $200 off a brand-new booth when you use the code PAP200. So get onto their website now and secure your new booth...  https://tribooth.com/ And if you're in the market for a new Mic or killer pair of headphones, check out Austrian Audio. They've got a great range of top-shelf gear.. https://austrian.audio/  We have launched a Patreon page in the hopes of being able to pay someone to help us get the show to more people and in turn help them with the same info we're sharing with you.

S02E18: Cosmic Web // Martian Climate Shift // Lunar Volcanoes: Unveiling Cosmic Wonders

Welcome to the Astronomy Daily Podcast, hosted by Tim Gibbs with AI assistant, Hallie, providing the latest in astronomy news. 1. In Japan, the Epsilon S rocket engine experienced an explosion during testing. This follows the failure of two previous attempts to launch next-generation rockets and a 2019 moon landing failure. Despite these setbacks, Japan is planning to launch the Epsilon S rocket next year. 2. India’s lunar exploration efforts resume with the planned launch of Chandrayaan-3. This sophisticated automated mission aims to demonstrate the rover's ability to navigate the lunar surface. The launch is expected to take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Center at Sriharikota in southern Andhra Pradesh state. The rover is equipped to analyse soil composition, measure soil temperature, and detect mini-moon quakes. 3. Australian astronomers have discovered the coldest star on record to produce radio emissions. This ultra-cool brown dwarf generates magnetic fields despite its low temperature, deepening our knowledge of star evolution. 4. The Australian government is axing a $1.2 billion national space mission for Earth observation. The decision has faced criticism, with calls for the government to reconsider and invest in science and astronomy. 5. China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation plans to create an expansive, remote sensing satellite network by 2030. This network aims to facilitate public services such as disaster prevention and relief, while also allowing real-time high-resolution observation of specific areas.

Expected to showcase up to 20 shooting stars per hour, this stunning display doesn't require a telescope to enjoy. Learn more about the best times and ways to observe this medium-sized meteor shower that runs from July to August. **Headline 2:** *SpaceX's Record-Breaking Double Launch Attempt Postponed* SpaceX was poised to break records with their Falcon Heavy Rocket and Echo Star's Jupiter 3 satellite launch within a span of 44 minutes, but the mission got scrubbed. With a new target set for July 28, this record-breaking attempt involves the launch of the Hughes Jupiter 3 mission and Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 star-linked satellites. We dive into the specifics of the launch window and potential reasons for the delay. **Headline 3:** *SpaceX Successfully Launches 22 Star-linked Satellites* Despite the earlier postponement, SpaceX triumphantly launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 star-linked satellites into low-earth orbit. The launch from Cape Canaveral marked the 15th mission for the first stage booster, which then returned to Earth, landing on the autonomous ship in the Atlantic Ocean. **Headline 4:** *Astronomers Discover a Rare Einstein Cross* The cosmos continues to amaze us as astronomers uncover a rare Einstein Cross using the dark energy spectroscopic instrument at Kitt Peak National Observatory. An instance of gravitational lensing, the Einstein Cross, known as DESI 253.2534+26.8843, offers valuable information about the early universe.

S02E27: Meteor Showers, SpaceX Launch Attempts, and a Rare Einstein Cross

Welcome to another episode of the Astronomy Daily Podcast with your host, Steve Dunkley, and the AI assistant, Hallie. In this episode, we chat about meteor showers, a historical event involving the lunar roving vehicle, and the current state of space exploration. Here's what we covered:
- We start off with a casual conversation about current meteor showers. Steve shares his disappointment in not being able to spot the meteors due to cloud cover in his area.
- Our fun fact of the day looks back to July 31, 1971, when the lunar roving vehicle was first used on the moon during the Apollo 15 mission by astronauts James B. Irwin and David Scott.
- We move on to a concerning update about NASA's Voyager 2, which has temporarily lost contact with Earth due to an accidental deviation of the antenna's alignment. Despite this, Voyager 2 continues along its planned trajectory, with the next automatic antenna reset scheduled for October 15th.
- We discuss the promising future of lunar mining, exploring how private firms and international space agencies plan to extract resources like oxygen, water, and other materials from the moon to support life and build infrastructure.
- The construction of a new spaceport in Scotland has been temporarily halted due to the discovery of archaeological findings at the building site, including shiny quartz, giant granite stones, and evidence of cremations from the Bronze Age.
- For our science fiction fans, we look at upcoming space missions including the x-ray imaging and spectroscopy mission "Chrism" scheduled for launch from Japan's Tanegashima Space Center and the European Space Agency's "Platoh" mission set to launch in 2026, aiming to find Earth-like planets.
- Steve wraps up the episode with a fun surprise story for fans of the 1960s cartoon "The Jetsons," discussing a meme that suggests George Jetson's birthday would be July 31, 2022.
Join us again on Friday with Tim in Bath, England, and catch up with Steve and Hallie again on Monday for more Astronomy Daily.

Now, something that may be out as we speak or maybe about to be released, is the new Nexus from Source Elements. You've definitely had a look at it, George. I think you've had a look at it, Robert. And Robert knows all about it because it's his baby. Speaker A: How much do you know, Robert? : Let's be honest, I'm clueless. Yeah. Speaker C: No, that's me. That's my Robert. : I know it all, but really, don't I'm just like yeah. Speaker A: Can I just say, before you dive into it, it's a very sexy beast. Seriously, it's very clever. Speaker C: You've had a look around the whole thing, haven't you? Speaker A: I have. I've sort of had a play with it. But, I mean, Robert's going to explain it the best, so we should leave it to him to run through the list of features. : I like hearing what kind of mess other people make out of it. Speaker A: Well, you know, what inspires me the most, and I think is going to be the most useful for our listeners, I think, is simple things like the Dim operation, the fact that it actually just drops your mic level. : Drops the levels. Yep. Speaker A: And all that sort of stuff. : A lot simpler than a Dugan mixer. Speaker A: The gateway from a studio point of view, from me looking at that gateway, everything's all in the box. I've got video, I've got everything there. But, I mean, you should explain it all. : Yeah. So basically, Nexus started out, oh, God, how many years ago? 2007? I don't know. But I was like, wouldn't it be nice if you could route audio, virtual audio interfaces in and out of Pro Tools? And it was like, we made that, and it was kind of a hit. And what it was primarily used for was to interface the client side of a remote voiceover session, or just a remote client side. So think of it as Source Connect was the remote connection for voice talent into an engineer setup, who then also has remote clients. And Nexus was used to empower things like zoom and hangouts. But we all know that all of those have their various issues for instance, one of them is if you're broadcasting and you've got talkback going over zoom, there's very different goals of the talkback versus the broadcast that you want to have your clients listen to, so the talkback can have echo cancellation on it. And actually that helps because many times your clients don't have headphones, but your broadcast, you don't want it to be impeded by the echo cancellation and things like this. So what Nexus is, is it still represents to me that sort of client side connection. But now we're completing more of it. Instead of saying, oh, just like throw Nexus at Zoom, or throw Nexus at whatever it is that your clients are using Microsoft teams, here's a gateway for it that does what you need as a professional audio and video person for collaborating with your clients. Instead of trying to pound Zoom into a hole. Speaker B: Here's how it was described ten years ago, you sent an email out sourcenexis is an audio application router. Record remote voiceover from Source Connect directly into Final Cut or Media Composer playback itunes to Pro Tools, even patch Pro Tools to and from Nuendo all at the same time. Route any audio application in and out of Pro Tools, even if that application does not have any plugin support. Speaker A: There you go. Speaker B: That was December 2013. : So that's like a very broad, broad strike explanation. Sort of like it's round and so it rolls, but this is a wheel for a car. So yeah, the rolling part of it is well, it pretty much is a router that was put in the Daw so that you could route external interfaces in and out and do things like that. And the primary thing that it got used a lot for was those client side connections. Speaker C: So how would it work for someone like me? What benefit would I get out of Nexus? Speaker B: So the talent side, what do they say? : I think the same thing. So just like you've got Source Connect and you're running with studios and engineers and it has that rock solid queued up connection that's going to pick up every bit. Even if the internet does its thing, as you know, voice talent are being forced to take up much more and more of the burden and you have the situation

#417: Solar Flares & Speedy Spacecraft: Revolutionizing Our Cosmic Commute

Journey through the cosmic tapestry with SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 60, where we unearth the echoes of creation by discovering one of the most ancient stars ever seen in another galaxy. This remarkable find could lead us to the elusive first generation of stars that illuminated the universe from darkness to the dawn of clarity. These celestial ancestors, born from the pure elements of the Big Bang, were behemoths that lived fast and died young, leaving behind the building blocks of everything we know.
The episode then shifts focus to the Hubble Space Telescope's latest challenge, as it enters safe mode due to a gyroscope glitch. Despite the setback, the iconic observatory's legacy of over three decades of celestial observations remains unshaken as NASA seeks a solution.
Next, we launch into the story of Snoopy, a CubeSat deployed from the International Space Station. This six-unit CubeSat embarks on a mission to measure soil moisture and improve agricultural yields by harnessing signals from commercial satellites.
For an exploration of these cosmic milestones and more, tune into SpaceTime with Stuart Gary. Join us as we navigate the universe's past, present, and future, revealing the wonders that lie beyond the night sky.

Today’s stories…
PLANET 9 FROM OUTER SPACE
Astronomers have found convincing evidence for the existence of a ninth planet in the dark outer reaches of the solar system far beyond Neptune. The newly inferred planet – which is simply being called Planet Nine for now – has about ten times the mass of Earth and circles the Sun some 600 times further out than Earth’s orbit. 

NEW MOON GIANT IMPACT THEORY
A new study claims the Earth’s Moon was formed out of a violent head on collision rather than a 45 degree angle side swipe between the early proto-Earth and a planetary embryo called Theia 4.6 billion years ago. The new study is based on a re-evaluation of oxygen isotopes in rock samples from both the Earth and the lunar surface. 

PLUTO THE WATER PLANET
New data from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft indicates the surface of Pluto has far more water than previously estimated. The new images have detected abundant signatures for water ice across the dwarf planet’s surface. 

FIRST ARIANE 5 LAUNCH FOR 2016 
Arianespace has carried out its first launch of the year with an Ariane 5 blasting into orbit from the European Space Agency’s Kourou Space Port in French Guiana carrying the Intelsat 29e communications satellite into orbit. The 6552 kilogram satellite will provide C, Ku and Ka-band services for North and South America as well as the North Atlantic.

INDIA LAUNCHES NAVIGATION SATELLITE
India has successfully launched a PSLV rocket carrying the nation’s new IRNSS-1E navigation satellite into orbit. The spa cecraft is the fifth of the seven satellites constituting the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System.

StarStuff with Stuart Gary Series 19 Episode 1 - We're back for 2016!

In this episode:

North Korea fires a shot across the world's bow
North Korea has launched a rocket into space sparking global condemnation and growing fears over Pyongyang's ever expanding nuclear weapons program.  Pyongyang claims the rocket was carrying a scientific satellite, but the rest of the world is concerned the rocket was testing ballistic missile technology for nuclear weapons delivery systems.  
 
Most powerful supernova explosion ever seen
Astronomers have detected what they think is the most powerful stellar explosion ever seen -- a massive supernova -- twice as powerful as anything previously recorded. the huge blast was 200 times more powerful than the average supernova, 570 billion times brighter than our Sun, and 20 times brighter than all the stars in our Milky Way Galaxy combined. 
 
NASA warns of asteroid threat
NASA is keeping a close eye on a 30 metre asteroid which is expected to come awfully close to Earth next month. The space rock named 2013-TX68 could pass just 17,700 kilometres above the planet's surface on March 5th, lower than the orbits of many satellites. 
 
China launches new navigation satellite
China has launched a Long March 3C rocket carrying another member of Beijing's Beidou satellite navigation system. As well as providing navigation services for Beijing, the new satellite also features a particle detector to study the space environment around its orbit. 
 
Europe laser communications satellite launched
A Russian Proton rocket has successfully blasted into orbit carrying a new telecommunications satellite equipped with a laser communications system. The new European Data Relay System will provide emergency services with near real time data relay services improving maritime surveillance and disaster response times.

Today's stories...
 
Gravitational waves detected for the first time
Ripples in the fabric of spacetime known as gravitational waves have been directly seen for the first time. The historic announcement ends months of speculation and rumour.
 
The Great Attractor
Hundreds of galaxies hidden from view behind the Milky Way have been unveiled in unprecedented detail providing astronomers with new information about a mysterious object known as the Great Attractor.  The findings shed new light on this massive gravitational anomaly, which appears to be drawing hundreds of thousands galaxies including the Milky Way towards it with a gravitational force equivalent to millions of billions of Suns.
 
Earth's Ancient Crust
Scientists have discovered  2.5 billion year old material from the ancient Earth in lava that's erupted from some oceanic volcanoes. The findings are the first evidence that Archean era planetary crust is being recycled through the mantle.
 
Activity discovered on Saturnian moon Dione
An 800 kilometre long mountain range on the Saturnian ice moon Dione is providing scientists with clues about how active the distant frozen world once was. The discovery also hints at possible continued activity even today.
 
North Korea Satellite failure
The satellite launched by North Korea last week appears to have failed to activate and is orbiting the Earth dead in space. The object which had been tumbling but had now stabilized but has failed to communicate with ground stations.


SpaceTime Series 19 Episode 3 - Gravitational waves detected for the first time

In this episode:

The mystery of the IBEX ribbon
Astronomers are a step closer to finally solving the mystery of the IBEX ribbon spotted at the edge of the solar system eight years ago. New computer simulations and data from NASA’s IBEX spacecraft are pointing to ionized solar wind particles streaming back into the solar system after interacting with interstellar space galactic magnetic fields. 

Invisible gas clouds appear shaped like dark noodles
Astronomers have been given their best view yet of the giant interstellar gas clouds which make up a significant amount of the Milky Way galaxy’s matter. The invisible structures known as Extreme Scattering Events are high density lumps in the thin electrically charged gas between the stars in our Galaxy and appear to be shaped like noodles, lasagna sheets or possibly even hazelnuts. 

New Subatomic particle discovered 
Scientists at Fermilab have discovered a new particle—the latest member to be added to the exotic species of particles known as tetraquarks. The new discovery by the DZero experiment is of the first tetraquark candidate composed of four different quark flavours. 

Supernova puzzle close to being solved
New observations using the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed that a supernova which exploded more than three years ago is continuing to shine far brighter than expected. The supernova known as SN 2012cg could have important implications for astronomy’s ability to measure cosmic distances across the universe.


SPACETIME Series 19 Ep.8 - The mystery of the IBEX ribbon & others

In Episode 9:

 Fast Radio Burst mystery deepens
Astronomers for the first time have detected repeating Fast Radio Bursts -- short bursts of radio waves from an enigmatic source located well beyond our Milky Way galaxy. Prior to this discovery, all previously detected Fast Radio Bursts have appeared to be one-off events.  

What if E.T. called us and nobody heard? 
As scientists step up their search for other life in the universe, two astrophysicists are proposing a way to make sure we don't miss the signal if extraterrestrial observers try to contact us first. The scientists say the best chance for us finding a signal from beyond is to presume that extraterrestrial observers are using the same methods to search for us that we are using to search for life beyond Earth.
  
Asteroid close encounter 
Astronomers around the world will be counting down to the extremely close flyby of asteroid 2013 TX68 which could pass just 17,700 kilometres above the ground tomorrow March 5th. However, scientists admit they won’t know exactly how close the 35-metre-wide space rock will get until after the flyby occurs. 

ExoMars prepares for launch
All systems are go for this month’s launch of the ExoMars 2016 spacecraft bound for the red planet. The joint Roscosmos and European Space Agency mission is slated to launch on a Russian Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the central Asian republic of Kazakhstan on March 14. 

Where did the Martian moon Phobos come from?
NASA scientists are closer to solving the mystery of how the Martian moon Phobos formed. NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution spacecraft (MAVEN) has made a series of close approaches to the 28-kilometre-wide moon collecting data from within 500 kilometres of its surface.  

Expedition 46 crew return to Earth after record breaking space flight
The Russian Soyuz TMA-18M capsule has returned safely to Earth carrying the expedition 46 crew from the International Space Station. Among those aboard the spacecraft as it touched down on the cold Kazakhstan steps was US astronaut Scott Kelly who set a new American record for long duration human space flight of 340 days in orbit.

* Black Holes prove Einstein right -- again
A new black hole study as once again shown Professor Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity to be correct. The new research confirms that stars being consumed by a black hole really do fall through an event horizon into a singularity -- rather than crashing into some sort of hard object.
 
*NASA’s new mission to touch the Sun
The United States is to send a spacecraft into the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona. The Parker solar probe spacecraft will – quite literally touch the Sun – travelling to within 5.9 million kilometres of the Sun’s photosphere – its visible surface.
 
*A possible Quark Nova
Astronomers are looking at the possibility of a new and very different trigger for a strange type of supernova event called a quark nova. Core collapse or type II Supernova are usually generated by the explosive cataclysmic death of a star.
