Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff. Space Nuts Episode 317 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley Andrew: Hi, there. Thanks for joining us. Well, I hope you do - for episode 317 of Space Nuts the podcast. I'm Andrew Dunkley, your host, and joining me every week is Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What are we talking about this week, Fred? Fred: Action Pack show as always, Andrew. We're going to talk about more observations that suggest that dark matter is not what we think it is. And we're also going to talk about a new supercomputer that we've got here in Australia. And I'm going to explain why I'm wearing this hi-vis vest. Andrew: Yes, I'm wondering. It's not a good look. Fred: Wait till you see what it is. Andrew: Okay. All right will do. We'll also be answering some audience questions, but Fred doesn't know what they are. We're going to do a bit of a potluck on him this week. He doesn't like it. But occasionally, it's fun to see how things pan out. So, I hope you can join us for episode 317 of Space Nuts on your favorite podcast distributor, and we'll chat to you then.

Space Nuts Episode 310 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley Andrew: Hello there. My name is Andrew Dunkley from the Space Nuts podcast, where we talk astronomy and space science. And every week, I'm joined by Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What's coming up on episode three 10, Fred? Fred: Thank you, Andrew. Episode three 10, because it's divisible by five, is actually an all questions episode. And today we've got a huge pile of questions on topics as diverse as and I've got to read this. The Big Rip, surviving the Vacuum of Space. Our closest neighbor in space, putting a hole through the Earth. What would it be like falling through it? Are there such things as gas moons, the triangular galaxy - Will it get gobbled up by our own galaxy? And what if you had a billiard cue long enough to poke somebody on Mars? Would they feel it faster than the speed of light? Andrew: Fantastic. Actually, that question about surviving in space turned out to be a very fascinating answer. So I'm looking forward to talking about that one. They refer to messiness in the question. And you know what? They're right. So we'll talk about that and much, much more on this edition of Space Nuts. Download from your favorite podcast distributor. Talk soon.
