StarDate - (0:02) 2 September 2023: “Heartbeat Stars - If that sounds like beating hearts, that's because it is - in a way. It's the sound of “heartbeat" stars. If you plot how the light from such a star changes, it looks like an EKG - like a beating heart. Scientists have converted some of those beats to sound, and sped them up to show the rhythm of the heartbeats. The stars are actually binaries - pairs of stars locked in orbit around each other. Their orbits are stretched out - they're long and thin. Depending on the system, each orbit takes a few days to a few weeks, so the system “beats" at up to a few times per month. When the two stars are at their closest, the gravity of each star distorts the shape of the other, making the stars bulge toward each other…” 

Aaron Mahnke’s Cabinet of Curiosities - (0:10) 16 April 2019: “Bomb's Away - Most stories have something big and powerful at their core that gives them meaning, but it's often the little details that make them memorable. Both of today's tales fit that bill nicely.”

StarDate - (0:02) 3 September 2023: “Moon and Jupiter - By Jove, the Moon and the planet Jupiter put on a good show the next couple of nights. They climb into good view by about 11 or 11:30. Jupiter looks like a brilliant star near the Moon - only the Moon and the planet Venus outshine it. Jupiter is named for a Roman god - the equivalent of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. Appropriately enough, Jupiter was a sky god. And like Zeus, he was in charge of everything - the leader of all the gods. He was considered a protector of Rome, so military commanders visited one of his temples after a successful battle to give thanks. Jupiter was also known as Jove. The name is used in the phrase "by Jove!" which indicates surprise or adds emphasis. According to Miriam-Webster, the phrase was mainly British, and it's been largely abandoned.”

Radio Headspace - (0:05) 5 June 2020: “What’s Real And What’s Not - A lot of us walk around waiting for something to happen. We can carry that tension in our bodies and minds, constantly on alert, imagining an unpleasant experience. It’s an uncomfortable way to live. And if we walk through life waiting, or intentionally looking for those things, we will keep that story alive. This weekend, try to let go of what’s not real and focus on what is.”

StarDate - (0:02) 4 September 2023: “Doomed Companions - The stars of the binary system SSN 7 are doomed, doomed, and doomed. Each of the two monster stars will collapse to form a black hole. And in the far-distant future, the black holes will merge to form a bigger one. The system is about 200,000 light-years from Earth. It’s in a massive stellar nursery in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a companion galaxy to the Milky Way. A recent study found that one star in the system is about 32 time the mass of the Sun, while the other is 55 times the Sun’s mass…”

Everything Everywhere Daily - (0:11) 7 August 2020: “Lunar Orbit Rendezvous - Have you ever been told to follow the chain of command or else? In most organizations with a hierarchy or with a bureaucracy, there is a set way in which things have to be done. If you have a suggestion or a complaint, you have to go to your immediate superior, and not jump over anyone’s head. If it wasn’t for one man jumping over the heads of his superiors and jeopardizing his job, we might never have landed on the moon.”

StarDate - (0:02) 5 September 2023: “Moon and Aldebaran - Quite a few stars that are visible to the unaided eye are like previews of coming attractions: They show us what will happen to the Sun in several billion years. Perhaps the prime example is Aldebaran, the bright orange eye of the bull. It rises below the Moon late tonight, and follows the Moon across the sky. Aldebaran has moved past the prime of life, so the nuclear reactions in its core have settled into a new mode. That’s made the star puff up to become a giant. So even though it’s only a little more massive than the Sun, it’s…”

The Brendan Fraser Podcast - (0:23) episode 1: 14 March 2018: an introductory episode from Carla and Daniel to basically answer the question of why are they doing a podcast about Brendan Fraser to which their answer is why not. I know that I’ve seen a good few films with this actor in! What were their first Fraser experiences? They both mention the film Encino man, which in the UK is called California man. That might be the first time that I saw a film with him in? I might have to look at his filmography to find out. There is actually a possible, funny story, where me and the band mate watched the film George of the jungle, and we tried to get the other van mate to let us do it as a cover. I absolutely love the first two Mummy films that he was in. Blast From The Past. Bedazzled. Journey to the Centre of the Earth sequel and replaced Brendan with the rock.

StarDate - (0:02) 6 September 2023: “Moon and El Nath - The two brightest stars of Taurus, the bull, flank the Moon late tonight. The brighter of the two, Aldebaran, is off to the right of the Moon as they climb into good view, about 1 a.m. The second-brightest star, El Nath, is closer to the left or lower left of the Moon. And it'll stand even closer to the Moon at first light. Aldebaran and El Nath are in the same stage of life - they're giants. Through nuclear fusion, each has burned through the original hydrogen fuel in its core, converting it to helium. Now, it's burning the hydrogen in a thin shell around the core. At the same time, the core is getting smaller and hotter…”
