Why are we here? Human beings have asked themselves this question for centuries. Modern science largely argues that human beings are chance products of a purposeless universe, but other traditions believe humanity has an essential role and responsibility in creation. Lachman brings together many strands of esoteric, spiritual and philosophical thought to form a counter-argument to the nihilism that permeates the twenty-first century.

Weißt du, wie viel Sternlein stehen? Mehr als man sich vorstellen kann - und alle erzählen sie eine Geschichte über das Universum. Dank Gamma Draconis wissen wir, dass die Erde sich um ihre Achse dreht, und 61 Cygni hat uns verraten, wie große der Kosmos ist. Die Sterne nehmen uns mit auf die Suche nach außerirdischem Leben, erklären, wie schwarze Löcher funktionieren und warum die Dinosaurier ausgestorben sind. Und sie zeigen, wie wir durch den Weltraum reisen und andere Planeten besiedeln könnten.

Sleep From Space brings you a gentle daily update on the universe above. Each short episode includes a calm report on sunspots, solar activity, aurora chances, rocket launches, and what to watch for in the night sky. Space weather meets space news — delivered softly, every day, to help you stay connected to the cosmos.We're also keeping an eye on the Artemis II misson to the moon! Portions of the podcast are made with the assistance of AI which helps us gather informaton from the NASA and other soruces.

In Signposts to God, particle physicist Peter Bussey introduces listeners to the mysteries of modern physics and astronomy. Authored in clear, accessible prose, Bussey provides a primer on topics such as the laws of nature, quantum physics, fine-tuning, and current cosmological models. Bussey argues that, far from ruling out a divine creator, modern physics and astronomy present us with compelling signposts to God. The more we know about the cosmos and our presence in it, the more plausible belief in God becomes.

A masterful, genre-defying narrative of the most ambitious science project ever conceived: NASA’s deep-space mission to Europa—the Jovian moon where might swim the first known alien life in our solar system—powered by a motley team of obsessives and eccentrics. When scientists discovered...

At the center of our Milky Way lies one of the most extraordinary and enigmatic objects in the Universe — Sagittarius A *, a supermassive black hole four million times more massive than the Sun. Invisible to the human eye yet governing the motion of stars and gas across tens of thousands of light-years, it is both a gravitational anchor and a cosmic mystery. In A Hungry Giant in the Heart of Our Galaxy, science writer and philosopher Boris Kriger takes readers on a journey through three decades of discovery at the frontiers of astrophysics.

Whether searching for extra-terrestrial life, managing the effects of space weather or learning about dark matter, the study astrophysics has profound implications for us all. NASA scientist and astronomer Sten Odenwald explains the key concepts of this vast topic, bringing clarity to some of the great mysteries of space.

PODCAST ON SKAO - FRAUD REPORTING BY GUARDIAN.

Why are UFO‘s Top Secret? Besides conspiracy theories, there are many real-time events and discoveries that make you wonder if we are really alone in the universe. We discuss things like: How the post-WWII landscape shaped modern scientific thought on UFO‘s, which lead to the formation of the CIA, NSA and US Air Force. This includes current events and late breaking accounts that relate to UFO‘s of the past and present. Simply put, we are after the truth! (But can you handle the truth?!) Come on in!

A talk by Terence McKenna about how our global culture is preparing to depart for the stars, so we must begin to pack for the trip. He begins with a discussion of botanical dimensions of folk medicine which are lost in pharmacology and how this is being uncovered by the New Age archaic revival. McKenna envisions an end to the current age, which has consisted of eons of boredom. He goes on to discuss the growing wonder of the universe as presented by leading astronomers Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan.

In God's Canvas: An Exploration of Faith, Astronomy, and Creation, Fr. James Kurzynski explores how faith and science can and should be dialogue partners in the exploration of truth. Drawing upon his work as an author for The Catholic Astronomer, the official blog of the Vatican Observatory Foundation, Fr. Kurzynski explores the relationship between faith and science through the lens of his life as a Catholic Priest, the Pastor of a Parish and Newman Center, and as a hobby astronomer, artist, and musician. Through this lens, Fr. Kurzynski will explore core questions that he is often asked as a Priest.

There seems to be evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it are only ghostly images: projections from a level of reality so beyond our own that the real reality is literally beyond both space and time. The main architect of this astonishing idea is one of the world’s most eminent thinkers - physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein’s. In this executive summary, Chuck gives a current perspective on some of the areas that define our reality.

NASA audio recordings from Apollo 11 are some of the most important and historic audio recordings ever made. They capture the voices of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins as they made the first-ever landing on the Moon on July 20, 1969.The audio recordings include everything from the astronauts' conversations with Mission Control to their descriptions of the lunar surface and their own feelings about being the first humans to walk on the Moon. They are a fascinating and inspiring record of one of the greatest achievements in human history.NASA has digitized and made available ...
