The Apollo space program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the moon, during Apollo 11, had complicated roots dating back over a decade; it also involved one of NASA's most infamous tragedies. Landing on the moon presented an ideal goal all on its own, but the government's urgency in designing the Apollo program was actually brought about by the Soviet Union, which spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel).

The Black Hole is a new podcast that will venture into the minds and hearts of the masses via two thought experts: Sancho D. Bayleaf and Doggie Boy J. Listen as the Bayleaf and the Boy outthink so called “Scientist” and “Doctors” by digging the sediment out of the woolly grundle of life and death and life again (The afterlife) and put it under a microscope and project the findings on a jumbotron (metaphorically). Hear the bigger picture and absorb every facet of yours and you neighbor’s mind.

Nothing captivates the human imagination like the vast unknowns of space. Ancient petroglyphs present renderings of the heavens, proof that we have been gazing up at the stars with wonder for thousands of years. Since then, mankind has systematically expanded our cosmic possibilities. What were once flights of fancy and dreams of science fiction writers have become nearly routine. Space travel is a sometimes heroic, sometimes humorous, and always dangerous journey fraught with perils. Space Oddities brings unknown, offbeat, and obscure stories of space to life.

From saving the planet to understanding ourselves, this podcast sees experts discuss the major topics of our times. Hosted by IFLScience’s Dr Alfredo Carpineti, Rachael Funnell, and Eleanor Higgs.

An extraterrestrial colony, in some form, may already exist, just awaiting discovery. But the greatest impediment to such an important scientific discovery may not be technological, but political. No scientific endeavor can be launched without a budget, and matters of money are within the arena of politicians. Dr. Ben Bova explores some of the key players and the arguments waged in a debate of both scientific and cultural priorities.

On August 21, 2017, more than 10 million Americans will experience an awe-inspiring phenomenon: the first total eclipse of the sun in America in almost 40 years. In Sun Moon Earth, astronomer Tyler Nordgren illustrates how this most seemingly unnatural of natural phenomena was transformed from a fearsome omen to a tourist attraction. From the astrologers of ancient China and Babylon to the high priests of the Maya, Sun Moon Earth takes us around the world to show how different cultures interpreted these dramatic events.

New Lands was the second nonfiction book of the author Charles Fort, written in 1925. It deals primarily with astronomical anomalies. Fort expands in this book on his theory about the Super-Sargasso Sea—a place where earthly things supposedly materialize in order to rain down on Earth—as well as developing an idea that there are continents above the skies of Earth. As evidence, he cites a number of anomalous phenomena, including strange "mirages" of land masses, groups of people, and animals in the skies.

Der zwölfteilige Tierkreis und seine graue Vorzeit werfen zwei Rätsel auf: Wer entwarf ihn und warum wurde der himmlische Zyklus in zwölf Abschnitte unterteilt? Die Antworten erfordern das Überschreiten einer Schwelle zu der Erkenntnis, dass sich unter dem Mantel der scheinbar astrologischen Bedeutung der Unterteilung des Himmels in zwölf Teile eine hoch entwickelte Astronomie verbirgt, eine tatsächlich so weit entwickelte Astronomie, dass der Mensch selbst sie nicht beherrscht haben konnte, als die Unterteilung des Himmelskreises begann.

Is the story about the Star in the East true? And, if so, what exactly was the “star”? While Sir Patrick cannot give a definitive answer, in The Star of Bethlehem, he looks at various astronomical theories and comes up with a possible answer of his own. Who has not heard of the Star in the East? It is one of the most famous stories in the Bible, and tells us how the Wise Men came to Bethlehem to seek out the infant Jesus.

Nel suo inconfondibile stile divulgativo, Adrian Fartade ci invita a seguirlo oltre le "colonne d'Ercole" della nostra regione del Sistema solare, cioè la Fascia di Asteroidi, lasciandoci così conquistare da Giove, gigante gassoso tormentato da enormi cicloni ipnotici, e da Saturno, con il suo sistema complesso e affascinante di anelli e tempeste esagonali. Questa cavalcata emozionante prosegue poi verso Urano, il pianeta piegato sul fianco con archi colossali di ghiaccio e roccia, e Nettuno, coperto da nuvole di ammoniaca gelata che gettano ombre di centinaia di chilometri.
