The laws of physics that govern our universe rely on only a handful of constants. But are these values really constant after all? In this episode, we explore new research into the gravitational constant, the diffuse gas fraction in the universe, and a very peculiar planet's orbital period.

Join us in celebrating the life of the Spitzer Space Telescope! Malena talks about Spitzer’s discovery of exoplanets, Alex explains Spitzer’s fascination with dust, and Will presents a brown dwarf that Spitzer found to be much more luminous than expected.

Goblins, giants, and dwarfs, oh my! Today we discuss the variety of mythical creatures in astronomy, including ghost and goblin galaxies, sneezy M dwarfs with cyclops planets, and oscillating giant stars.

"Reduce, reuse, recycle." You may practice this advice in your own life, but did you know the universe does the same thing on a much larger scale? Will tells us about quasars that reduce, Malena talks about galactic recycling, and Alex describes galaxies that reuse hydrogen.

They're sources of unending creation, they're tearing apart spacetime, they're...bald? Tune in as we explore the newest research on black holes!

Let’s get to know the neighbors: our dear friends in the solar system! In today’s episode, we explore mysteries of the Sun, the Moon, and the giant planets.

Disks, discs, and disques...no matter the spelling, disks are relevant to many areas of astronomy! In this episode, we discuss three recent papers about disks of different size scales: circumplanetary, circumstellar, and galactic.

Astrobites for your ears. Three grad students bring you cutting-edge research findings in astronomy and connect the dots between diverse subfields.
