  1. The Most Extraordinary Images We’ve Ever Taken of a Comet

    Show notes

    Theories on how our solar system formed have been turned on their head.In this Astrum compilation, we’re delving into the world of comets. What they’re made of, where they come from and just how difficult they are to land on. From the probe that crashed into one on purpose, to another that landed on a comet that looks more like a rubber duck than a rock… and that’s before we even get started on 3I/ATLAS.▀▀▀▀▀▀

  3. Nature's Real Life Zombies Will Give You Nightmares | Astrum Earth

    Show notes

    We've all seen the horror movies where the dead come back to life - their minds controlled by other beings; their nervous systems hijacked by some supernatural presence.But it turns out that this isn't supernatural. In fact, it's entirely natural...Nature is filled with zombies, that take control of other unsuspecting organisms and force them to do their bidding. From mind-controlled ants to zombie snails, and even... us?▀▀▀▀▀▀

  5. We Stared Into The Heart Of Our Galaxy. This Is What We Found.

    Show notes

    On 23rd March 2025 the Euclid telescope captured the most detailed visible-light image ever taken of the cosmic bulge of our Milky Way galaxy. It’s packed with 60 million stars, but that’s not all. And where there are stars, there are planets - millions of them. Could this image be the key to finding them?▀▀▀▀▀▀

  8. Have We Finally Found a New Theory of Everything?

    Show notes

    The laws of physics that govern our universe have left scientists with a lot of questions. But what if there was a simpler way to look at the universe? A method that takes into account the speed of light, time dilation, redshift, dark energy and an expanding universe? My brother, Jon, has come up with just such a hypothesis for a unified theory of everything that could explain all these and more. The biggest question is - could he be right? ▀▀▀▀▀▀
