117: SLIM chance of moon landing?
Emily and Chris tune in to JAXA’s livestream of SLIM — the Smart Lander for Investigating and Moon — as it attempted to slick the landing on the lunar surface on Friday 19 January 2023. We were prepared for success and champagne, or failure and lessons-learned. What we didn’t expect was … ambiguity, uncertainty and WE ARE STILL CHECKING THE STATUS SO PLEASE WAIT. Did SLIM and its fabulous little transformer rovers make it to the Moon OK or not?! Join us for all the anticipation, the wonder, and the confusion in this special syzygy episode.Help us make Syzygy even better...

Coach Me Up with Jimmy Dykes & Chris Burke
Chris Stewart: Wait Not Yet… | Coach Me Up with Jimmy Dykes & Chris Burke
On this weeks episode of the Coach Me Up Podcast, Jimmy and Chris are joined by Chris Stewart, play by play voice for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Fresh off of calling the Rose Bowl in this years college football playoff semi-final game, Chris gives insight to why Michigan won, Nick Saban’s response to the loss, and what makes Nick Saban elite at his position. Staying calm in a storm is broken down beautifully during the talk on Coach Saban. Chris also reveals his near death experience through health struggles the past few years and wh...

109: Something From Nothing?
Every so often, a Syzygy listener writes in with a cracking question that sends Emily and Chris off spelunking down the deep, deep sinkholes of astronomy and cosmology. This time, listener Eve asked an absolute cracker, to wit: Just how much energy is there in the universe right now? A simple question at first glance. At second glance (and every glance thereafter) it's not simple at all. We need to first consider, what is energy? What is the universe? And even, what is "now"? It's very confusing.Help us make Syzygy even better! Tell your friends and...

104: Biggest Black Hole
The biggest black hole ever has been found — not supermassive, but *ultra*massive. Emily takes Chris on a tour of all the types of black hole, from the speculative minis, through the solar and intermediate mass kinds, to the stonking supermassive and frankly ludicrous ultramassive. And we ask, how exactly do you see a black hole when it's ... you know ... black?Syzygy Merch! Get it at the store.Help us make Syzygy even better!

101: Spin Down Earth
The Earth's core has been acting weird for at least 70 years now. We're not sure why, but sometimes it's spinning faster than the surface, sometimes slower. Emily explains how we know what's happening down in the core, which is impressive enough ... but then she shows how astronomers do the same for very distant stars, and Chris's head explodes. Plus, it's been a big week for aurora fans, and there's even some bonus Einteinian weirdness at the end.Syzygy Merch! Get it at the store.Help us make Syzygy even better!

100: Just Wonderful To Be Back
Emily's back from New Zealand, Chris is ... still just around, really. And Syzygy returns from hiatus with Episode 100, looking back on a huuuuuge year for the Just Wonderful Space Telescope. Emily takes us through the five "first-light" images released from JWST several months ago — plus one little bonus image that they found behind the couch. (Oh, and sorry for the audio quality on this one — for boring technical reasons we had to share one microphone ... Back to our usual high-quality production values for 101!)Syzygy Merch!

89: Diverting Dimorphos with DART
Every year, thousands of decent-sized chunks of rock hurtle past — and often into — the Earth. Of the ones that do hit, most burn up leaving a pretty trail. Occasionally, a bigger one explodes with a boom that shatters windows. More rarely, a big one wipes leaves a large smoking crater and widespread local destruction. Then there was that huge one that devestated the planet, wiping out the dinosaurs. Wouldn't want one of those again/ Fortunately, loads of astronomers are watching the skies to spot any asteroids getting too close for comfort. But what if they find one — what do we do...

If you'd spent your entire scientific career getting nominated for the Nobel Prize ... nominated by all your students and collaborators, many of whom were Laureates themselves ... nominated more times than anyone else, ever ... and yet you never won the damn thing ... how would *you* feel if you met the chaps who received a Nobel for an experiment that utterly failed to find the very thing it was looking for?

Failure (a): When Science Goes Wrong
We're sold a lie in school, that science follows a simple path from idea to understanding, from hypothesis to test, from abstract to conclusion.

Moonshot II: A Scientific Wager
Bit of advice? Don't call your next project your "Operation Moonshot" unless it's a suitably grand mission deserving of the title. If you do, kick the deadline down the road a bit, give Future You time to work out the details. Whatever you do, don't announce a shiny new, £100b COVID mass testing system to save the population and the economy, that you'll definitely roll out in, say, a month, maybe two. James tells Chris the sorry tale of the UK government's grandiose plan that, far from getting to the moon, didn't even make it to the launchpad.
