Briefing for the President of the United StatesSubject: Atacama Skeleton: The Mystery UnfoldedPrepared by: Journey to the FringeSummary:Mr. President,Today's briefing dives into the mind-boggling tale of the Atacama skeleton, a six-inch enigma discovered in the Chilean desert. This episode gives you the skinny on what this tiny skeletal celebrity really is, as we sift through the sands of time and science.Dr. Nolan's report is up first, detailing the potential origins of this little being. Is it an alien? A human anomaly? Your guess is as good as ours. But hold onto your Oval Office chair, because things get really interesting when we dissect Steven Greer's report. Picture this: one golden opportunity to unlock the secrets of the universe, and Greer fumbles it like a bad first pitch at Nationals Park. He got answers, sure, but not the kind that win Nobel Prizes. More like the kind that get you a skeptical look from your cat, and boy was Greer pissed.Tune in to hear how Greer lost his one and only chance, and why the mystery of the Atacama skeleton is still up for debate. Prepare for a mix of humor, hard facts, assholes and a whole lot of tiny bones as we unravel this bizarre tale.

It’s going to be a fun month for planet-watching, and you can count on the month’s Sky Tour episode to tell you where and when to catch the five “wandering stars” that you can see by eye. Even better, this month fetures what is arguably the best meteor show of the year. Listen now! The post December Podcast: Jupiter Leads the Way appeared first on Sky & Telescope.

Project Mercury was NASA’s first attempt at human crewed space flight. It sent Alan Shepard into space, and John Glenn into orbit, among four other landmark flights over 5 years. By 1963 it was done, and NASA was ready to launch Gemini, its next project. But being such a groundbreaking project, in 1964 NASA paid tribute to Mercury with a four metre high stainless steel monument with a time capsule that would remain sealed beneath it until the year 2464, five centuries later. What was so significant about Mercury? And what’s inside this time capsule? We could wait another 440 years, or just listen!Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on X for some special content      X.com/CosmicCoffTimeYou can request a topic for the show!

Sonification is when scientific data is "visualized" or communicated through non-verbal sound. In this episode we discuss the affordances (and some cautions) of sonification in science and science communication as well as in musical compositions. The practice of sonification, especially of astronomical data, brings together aesthetic and objective representations of the universe in a way that can be seen as hearkening back to the tradition of the Quadrivium.    References Alvin Lucier, "Sferics" Chandra sonifications LIGO chirps * Gerard Grisey, "Le Noir de L'Etoile"     * "This research has made use of data or software obtained from the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center (gwosc.org), a service of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and KAGRA.

We've hit a crossroad. We came back to celebrate KSP2, but it's not quite there yet. Maybe we jumped on the bandwagon too quickly. Maybe we're too long in the tooth to report on another development of a game. Or maybe we need to focus a little less on just KSP. We discuss our feelings about the show as it stands currently and ask for some feedback on where we go from here.   0:07:58 - Critics critiquing... again 0:27:40 - Unannounced hiatus 0:35:53 - The Proposal 0:47:27 - Mator and the outros   Music was created by Popskyy - www.popskyy.bandcamp.com Host Links: www.twitch.tv/matoro www.twitch.tv/thereadpanda www.davidd.photography/ BST Social Links: Twitter (https://twitter.com/bspacetape) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/bspacetape) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/boostersandspacetape) Contact: boostersandspacetape@gmail.com

REVISED 9/29/2023 (Audio issue fixed!) Basically, we wanted to discuss meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites. We are not going to deep in this segment, hence the "Part I", because we wanted to save time to discuss meteor shower viewing tips as well. Plus we wanted to discuss some of the planetary shifting going on this summer and how it shapes up for fall!
