Planetary ring systems can be found around all four of the large planets in the Solar System, though each differs wildly in its composition and density. In this episode, we will explain why ring systems form, supported by examples from both our Solar System and beyond.

Planetary Ring Systems

Lately there has been talk of a new largest galaxy, named Alcyoneus, which is said to boast a diameter of 16.3 million light years. But is that what's really being proposed in the original paper detailing the discovery? And if Alcyoneus is not the new largest galaxy, then how does it compare with the previous record holder IC 1101?

Alcyoneus - New Largest Radio Galaxy

On December 25th 2021, NASA launched their most advanced and expensive telescope ever- the James Webb Telescope, which has been in development for over 30 years. From distant stars and planets, to the dawn of time itself, this telescope will transform our view of the universe, as we usher in a new age of astronomy- the age of Webb.

Black holes are the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe, described by Stephen Hawking as a place where time stops. What really happens on the inside of one of these spacetime boundaries remains a mystery, but in this episode, we will aim to establish what truly lies on the other side of a black hole.

The Andromeda Galaxy is our nearest neighbouring spiral galaxy, around 2.5 million light years from Earth. At twice the size and more than double the number of stars, Andromeda represents a larger and even more mysterious galactic kingdom than our own. Today, we will be taking a journey to this galaxy.

When did the first planets start forming in the universe? What were they like? And what about the first habitable planets? These are complex questions, with a broad range of considerations, but by studying the oldest planets of the Milky Way, today we will aim to answer those questions.

Ever wonder what it would be like to fly all the way to the edge of space? Well in this episode, we'll be doing just that. We will embark on a tour of our universe- venturing deep into the darkness, uncovering the most jaw-dropping landmarks along the way. This is our journey to the edge of the universe.

Journey to the Edge of the Universe - No Music

Our view of the cosmos is limited to the observable universe- the slice of space containing all the galaxies that can be seen from Earth. But what we perceive to be the edge of our universe is not the actual edge of the universe- with most scientists in agreement that more space lies hidden beyond what we're able to see. Last time out, we travelled to the very edge of our observable universe. But today, we will be going even farther, as we wade out into the darkness of the unobservable universe.

How did Earth get its moon? Why is Mercury so close to the sun? Why does Uranus orbit on its side? The answers to all of these questions are the many collisions that ravaged the early Solar System. 

Each of our neighbouring worlds bears scars which echo their violent past. And in this video, we will examine a number of the most significant collisions, which played a pivotal role in building up the Solar System as we know it today.

Collisions Of The Early Solar System

From studying the dusty surface of Mars, to plunging into the atmosphere of Venus, over the last 60 years, we've launched scores of probes into space on trajectories to visit each of the terrestrial planets. But for all the fascinating discoveries made on the way, humanity's journey towards the stars started out in a much darker place- a battlefront between the world's then two great competing superpowers. And in this first episode on my new series on probes, we will revisit this space race, and the major milestones on route to visiting each of the terrestrial planets.
