Starts With A Bang #131 - The Baryon Life Cycle

July 11, 2026 11:07am 1:41

In order for stars to form, you need the right ingredients to make it happen: gravity, mass, time, and of course the right type of matter in the form of baryons. Shortly after the Big Bang, the Universe had plenty of the...

Starts With A Bang #130 - the initial mass function of stars

June 06, 2026 2:07am 1:44

One of the most foundational questions we know how to ask in astronomy is simply this: given a cloud of gas of a given mass, what types of stars will form? How many stars of a given mass will you wind up with, and what f...

Starts With A Bang #129 - Triton and the outer solar system

May 09, 2026 11:50am 1:35

We often think about the Solar System as being our own cosmic backyard, and in many ways, it is: these are the closest objects to us in all the Universe, and our only opportunity to study lunar and planetary systems in s...

Starts With A Bang #128 - Planet formation and proto-protoplanets

April 11, 2026 11:54am 1:40

Whenever a new star forms, several processes appear to be nearly universal. A cloud of cold molecular gas contracts, fragments, and rapidly collapses in certain places. The densest, coldest clumps of gas contract first, ...

Starts With A Bang #127 - Satellites and space pollution

March 07, 2026 11:18am 1:43

When most of us were children, and we went to a rural area with clear skies overhead at night, we were all greeted by the same familiar sight: a dark night sky, glittering with many hundreds or even thousands of stars. D...

Starts With A Bang #126 - The origin of dust

February 07, 2026 12:05pm 1:39

Out there in the Universe, we're most aware of what we see: of all the forms of light that arrive in our eyes, instruments, telescopes, and detectors. Much more difficult to see, as well as understand and make sense of, ...

Starts With A Bang #125 - Large-scale structure

January 11, 2026 12:13pm 1:33

One of the most exciting developments in modern astrophysics isn't merely our standard "concordance cosmology" model, but rather the cracks that seem to be emerging in it. Sure, we've said for some 25 years now that our ...

Starts With A Bang #124 - Astrochemistry

December 13, 2025 11:50am 1:33

All across the Universe, stars are dying through a variety of means. They can directly collapse to a black hole, they can become core-collapse supernovae, they can be torn apart by tidal cataclysms, they can be subsumed ...

Starts With A Bang #123 - Alien physics

November 08, 2025 10:25am 1:42

One of the great discoveries to be made out there in the grand scheme of things is alien life: the first detection of life that originated, survives, and continues to live beyond our own home planet of Earth. An even gra...

Starts With A Bang #122 - Galaxy evolution and JWST

October 11, 2025 11:29am 1:42

It's no secret that the Universe and the objects present within it, as we see them all today, have changed over time as the Universe has grown up over the past 13.8 billion years. Galaxies are larger, more massive, more ...

Starts With A Bang #121 - Direct exoplanet imaging

September 06, 2025 11:28am 1:35

It's hard to believe, but it was only back in the early 1990s that we discovered the very first planet orbiting a star other than our own Sun. Fast forward to the present day, here in 2025, and we're closing in on 6000 c...

Starts With A Bang #120 - Exoplanet biosignatures

August 09, 2025 11:13am 1:45

Out there in the Universe, somewhere, a second example of an inhabit world or planet likely awaits us. It could be some other planet or moon within our own Solar System; it could be a spacefaring, interstellar civilizati...

Starts With a Bang #119 - The CMB

July 05, 2025 11:23am 1:39

Perhaps the strongest evidence we've ever acquired in support of the Big Bang has been the discovery of the leftover radiation from its early, hot, dense state: today's cosmic microwave background, or CMB. While there we...

Starts With A Bang #118 - Snowball Earth

June 07, 2025 10:18am 1:45

When we search for life in the Universe, it makes sense to look for planets that are similar to Earth. To most of us, those signatures would look the same as the ones we'd see if we viewed our planet today: blue oceans, ...

Starts With A Bang #117 - Gravitational waves and the Universe

May 10, 2025 11:03am 1:33

It might seem hard to fathom, but it hasn't even been ten full years since advanced LIGO, the gravitational wave observatories that brought us our very first successful direct detection, turned on for the very first time...

Starts With A Bang #116 - Disintegrating exoplanets

April 05, 2025 10:40am 1:44

Out there in the Universe, each star represents an opportunity: a chance for a stellar system to develop that just might possess something remarkable. While we normally think about life, and intelligent life at that, as ...

Starts With A Bang #115 - Dwarf galaxies in isolation

March 15, 2025 11:21am 1:37

Sure, it's easy to look out at the Universe and take stock of what we find. Although spiral and elliptical galaxies house the majority of the Universe's stars, represented locally by galaxies like Andromeda and our own M...

Starts With A Bang #114 - Pluto and Charon

February 15, 2025 11:03am 1:38

Out there in the Universe, there are tremendous, uncountable numbers of planetary systems just waiting to be discovered. But stellar systems won't just consist of planets orbiting a parent star; there will be moons, aste...

Starts With A Bang podcast #113 - Weird stars

January 11, 2025 8:00am 1:37

When it comes to stars, most of them, for most of their lives, behave in a very similar fashion to the Sun. In their cores, they undergo nuclear fusion, which provides energy and creates radiation, and that outward radia...

Starts With A Bang #112 - Galactic Archaeology

December 07, 2024 11:39am 1:28

When we look out at our home galaxy, the Milky Way, we have to recognize that even though it's been growing and evolving for 13.8 billion years, we're only observing it as it is right now: a snapshot in time determined b...
