eternal void...

shadows vanish, the stars fade away.
only the void remains—
endless, magical,
and strangely familiar.

eternal void

🚀 This week on the Low Meins Asylum Show we’re blasting off into the cosmos! 🌌 I break down 10 of the most insane and mind-blowing things that actually happen in space from diamond planets and cosmic alcohol clouds, to black holes that can spaghettify you. 🤯

Space is mysterious, terrifying, and beautiful all at once, and I’m bringing y’all the wildest facts that make you realize just how tiny we are in the grand scheme of the universe. 🌍✨

And don’t forget next week we’re coming back down to Earth to talk about the horrible conditions Amazon drivers go through while driving for Amazon. Stay tuned for that one.

Peace, love, ramen noodles. 🍜✌️

Diamonds, Black Holes & Space Booze

This year, the September equinox arrives on the 22nd which marks the first day of fall for the northern hemisphere. For everyone north of the equator, the days will become shorter as we move into autumn.

9/22/25 - The Autumn Equinox

The universe is beyond immense, and yet it might be nothing more than a tiny dot beside the rest of reality.

Welcome to episode 223 of the Astrophiz podcasts. 
October is a fabulous month with lots of highlights for telescopers, astrophotographers, binocular and naked eye observers.
We have 'The International Observe the Moon' night, the Orionid Meteor Shower and some fine planetary action.
There is also a new comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN)

Comet C/2025 R2 (Swan) is a very recently discovered comet that is around magnitude 7 (which means it is binoculars only), but it is well placed near some very bright guide stars so it will be easy to find. 
Ian’s Comet R2 page shows where you can find its locations up till October 10, and there is some evidence the nucleus has split. What this means for brightness is uncertain, but it might either get brighter of disintegrate. 
You can find Ian’s Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) page at tinyurl-DOT-com/cometr2 
< all lowercase all one word with the number 2>

Comet watchers will also hunt for Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) which will be visible to the Southern Hemisphere low in the evening sky from mid-November 2025, with the best chances for viewing in the northern parts of Australia. While the comet will pass Earth in October, it remains a northern hemisphere object during that time; however, observers in the Southern Hemisphere can still catch it after sunset in mid-to-late November. 

and finally TCoronaBorealis still hasn’t gone nova, so keep watching it,

Friday, Oct. 3 is when the Delta College Planetarium in Bay City will celebrate this year’s International Observe the Moon Night.

10/29/25 - Observe the Moon Night

Twinkle, twinkle, dying star,  
Fading light from worlds afar.  
Shadows gather, night grows deep,  
Dreamless souls are called to sleep.  
Twinkle, twinkle, dying star,  
How I wonder what you are.

Ashes drifting, cold and dim,  
Echoes of a mournful hymn.  
Silent skies conceal the flame,  
Whisper low a sorrowed name.  
Twinkle, twinkle, dying star,  
Lost in night’s eternal scar. 

Burst in flame, a nova bright,  
Shattered star gives birth to light.  
Ash to dust, yet life shall rise,  
Newborn suns adorn the skies.  
Twinkle, twinkle, shining far,  
Kindled hope in who we are.

Betelgeuse

October 2025 Audio Guide

This week on The Low Mein's Asylum Show, we’re taking astrology back to high school literally.

I ranked every zodiac sign from fakest to realest, and gave each one a high school identity. From Gemini being the gossip-loving drama kid to Aquarius being the rebel who doesn’t care what anyone thinks — no sign is safe.

We’re talking loyalty, fake energy, attention-seekers, and the real ones who actually keep it solid.
It’s all jokes, truth, and chaos so if you get mad, just remember… I don’t make the stars, I just read ‘em.

🎧 Tap in, find your sign, and see where you land in the zodiac lunchroom of life.

If Zodiac Signs Went to High School…

Astrophiz "Exceptional Interviews with exceptional scientists."
Brendan sometimes even gets how and why science works, and each month he conducts in-depth interviews with leading astro and space researchers. In each episode we feature Astrophysicists, Space Scientists, Particle Physicists, Data scientists, Antenna engineers, Instrument scientists, optical & radio astronomers, Satcomm engineers, project leaders and aurora hunters. For Astrophotographers, also each month we also hear from Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave who tells us when, where and what to look for in the sky over the coming weeks and explains astronomical phenomena in ‘Ian’s Tangent’.
This ongoing series has taken us through the history, theory and practice of radio astronomy from Faraday to Gravitational waves. Each episode includes the latest news roundup in this golden age of astrophysics. Enjoy! (& donate if you wish to help keep this podcast ad-free)
