SpaceTime Series 26 Episode 145
*Solar activity likely to peak next year.
A new study claims the Sun will reach the peak of its eleven year solar Cycle next year. The current Solar cycle -- 25 began in December 2019 with a minimum smoothed sunspot number of 1.8.
NASA’s Fermi Mission nets 300 gamma-ray pulsars … and counting
A new catalogue shows that NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered 294 gamma-ray-emitting pulsars, while another 34 suspects await confirmation.
*A day that changed astronomy for ever
Back on the 17th of August 2017 astronomers were for the first time ever able to measure the violent death spiral of a pair of neutron stars using both conventional electromagnetic telescopes and the relatively new field of gravitational wave laser interferometry.
*The Science Report
Ozone levels above Antarctica may not be recovering after all. Inhaling air pollution while sitting in traffic associated with an increase in blood pressure.
Study claims city dwelling bees tend to have bigger brains than their country cousins.
