Apologies for the break in Astroengine Live service. Due to some uber-technical problems, I’m going to have to re-launch the show this time next week. Stay tuned for updates. For now, check out my Astroengine Live archives and enjoy! *** Earlier post: It’s been a while, but Astroengine Live...

You may have noticed I’ve been a little quiet on the airwaves these last couple of weeks. This doesn’t mean all the space news of the world has slowed, or I’ve been any less active article writing, it’s just that life seems to happen during my regular Wednesday slot and I have...

This picture was posted by Phil Plait and I was mesmerized. Stan Gaz, the photographer of Meteor Crater in Arizona, will be laying on an exhibition in New York from April 30th to June 6th. If this is anything to go by, it’s an event you can’t afford to miss out on… if you’re...

In today’s show, I’ll be giving brown dwarfs some airtime. They may be considered to be “failed stars”, but are they? Also, I’ll be giving a rundown of the week’s space news with some surprises thrown in. Be sure to tune in at 4pm PST/7pm EST! Get Involved! Have any...

Today’s Astroengine Live will be LIVE from Woodland Hills, California, to bring you the goings on behind the scenes of some of the most important developments in space. Of course I am referring to the tragic demise of one free-tailed bat and the announcement by Astroengine and the World of Weird...

Apologies for slipping beyond the event horizon of my sizeable work-pile last week. I think the mass of paperwork stacked on my desk easily breeched the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit, plunging any Astroengine Live effort into the black hole that is my office. In short, last week was a bad week. This...

A future mission to the Jovian moon Europa could incorporate a life-searching robotic submersible under the icy crust (NASA) If you missed the February 25th Astroengine Live, featuring my interview with Dr Richard Greenberg, discussing the release of his book “Unmasking Europa”, this is your...
