Having covered the science of the CMB, B-modes and QUIJOTE, this time Chris North, Ian Harrison and @Dr_Whatson discuss the advantages and challenges of observing from space, the threat of satellites, and what the plans are for the upcoming Simons Observatory. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

Interested in working on developing outreach and communications for the Einstein Telescope (the next generation Grav Wave detector)? Part time, via Uni of Warsaw, but remote working possible. Deadline 26th March More information: astrouw.edu.pl/wp-content/upl…

Could black holes explain the expansion of the Universe? We take a deep dive into new research that implies they could, and discuss possible challenges to the result. And since this is all about black holes, who better to speak to than Dr Becky Smethurst podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

This really was a deep dive, ranging from the Kerr solutions for spacetime around black holes to General Relativity. It would be convenient if this theory were true, but I think it's fair to say (as Dr Becky Smethurst and the authors agree - spoiler alert!) that the jury's still out!

We (Atacama Cosmology Telescope) have a groundbreaking new image revealing the most detailed map of dark matter distributed across a quarter of the entire sky - drawn by CMB lensing and with implications for the growth of cosmic structures bbc.com/news/science-e…

The latest episode is available at anchor.fm/pythag-astro/e… in which Chris North and Edward Gomez 🤖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 talk about recent space news, from exploding rockets, Venusian volcanoes, comet-not-comets, burping black holes and impossible galaxies

Did you hear about the most energetic explosion ever seen? This month Phil Wiseman (Physics & Astronomy) and Cosimo Inserra (@cardiffPHYSX) tell Chris North about AT2021lwx. With Edward Gomez 🤖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 there's Fomalhaut, @esa_juice, neutrinos & Peggy Whitson's astronaut career anchor.fm/pythag-astro/e…

Excited about ESA's Euclid mission and in the Cardiff area? On Monday (3rd July) at 6:30pm stephen wilkins will be talking about the mission in a "double A-side", alongside Dr Becky Smethurst, as part of our NAM2023 - Cardiff public programme.

Back in July Cardiff Uni Physics hosted NAM2023 - Cardiff. There are now two episodes available with interviews. The first is July's, feat. Chris North Ian Harrison and Edward Gomez 🤖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 with interviews with Hannah Wakeford (exoplanets) and Dr Emma Alexander (galaxies) podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

the latest episode has more of Ian Harrison interviewing Dr Ashley Nova - THE POTENT SOLUTION out 16/10/24 (machine learning) Niall Jeffrey (modelling in astrophysics) and Susanna Azzoni (CMB polarisation) - you can find that at podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

In the latest episode, Chris North and Edward Gomez 🤖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 discuss British space missions, NASA Psyche, and something called "Synestia" - planet bashing together. We also hear from Duncan Lorimer, 2023 The Shaw Prize winner, about the detection of fast radio bursts podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

It's that time of year, so here's Chris North and Edward Gomez 🤖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺's review of a few missions in 2023, and a look forward to 2024 podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

The @ula launch of the private "Peregrine" mission to the Moon is one of the events Chris North and Edward Gomez 🤖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 discuss in the look-ahead to 2024 - listen in the 2nd half of the latest episode anchor.fm/pythag-astro/e…

Do you think the cover of a magazine dictates who reads it? Are female readers attracted by male celebrities, or aren't there enough female STEM celebrities out there? My @cardiffPHYSX project student Jem and I tried to find out Andy Williams RAS Diversity bit.ly/4aR3Sfv

First time in the new BBC studios in Cardiff - very swish, and just on the doorstep for Cardiff University @cardiffPHYSX! Good fun chatting cosmology (and bonus astrobiology!) with Victoria Gill 💙💛 for BBC Radio 4 Inside Science.

The latest episode is (finally) up! Feat Edward Gomez 🤖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 and Chris North discuss recent news, while Haley Gomez and Cosimo Inserra from @cardiffPHYSX discuss the origin of dust in supernova explosions, and how a recently-detected event is changing our opinions podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…

The spiral pattern is fun, though a pure coincidence of time sequence, mass and how the algorithm arranges the black holes. The neutron stars really are starting to get lost now! catalog.cardiffgravity.org/bhbubble #BlackHoleWeek

In our latest episode, Edward Gomez 🤖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 and Chris North discuss the latest aurora show, Bepi status, results from ESA's Euclid mission and ESA Webb Telescope and the largest camera ever at NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory. Then Ian Harrison of @cardiffPHYSX discusses cosmological tensions podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pytha…
