From October 26, 2009.
Launching a rocket into space requires a big effort on the ground. Space agencies have built up huge infrastructures to store, prepare and launch rockets. Let's take a look at what's involved on the ground at a place like Cape Canaveral. What happens before, during and after a launch.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org
From October 2025.
Today's 2 topics:
- The Lagrange point L4 is 60° ahead of Mars whereas L5 is 60° behind Mars on the red planet's orbital path about the Sun. An object placed at either of these locations is trapped gravitationally and is likely to remain there indefinitely. The Mars L4 and L5 locations could provide a permanent place for staging and resupply missions to Mars and would give humans a different view of space weather and its effects on our home planet.
 
- Obtaining accurate data on the Earth's climate and how it is changing is vital to inform agriculture , insurance risks, business planning, disaster preparedness, financial investments, wild fire mitigation, and national security. The USA should not be flying blind and relying on Europe and China for the data we need.

Astronomers have discovered one of the most chemically primitive stars ever identified — an ancient stellar relic that preserves the chemical imprint of the very first stars in the Universe. In this podcast, Dr. Ani Chiti discusses the discovery of this ancient star and what it tells us about star formation in the early Universe. 
 
Bios: 
- Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.
- Dr. Anirudh Chiti is a Brinson Prize Fellow at Stanford University, interested in the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the early production of heavy elements, the early Milky Way, and local tracers of dark matter. He observes and characterizes nearby stars and galaxies that formed at early times to understand these topics, in an approach known as "Near-field Cosmology" or "Galactic Archaeology".

From April 1, 2026. No foolin'!
Once again, we're going to attempt to get you up to date with what is going down at NASA. In addition to NASA updates, we have stories of science that comes in twos. From 2 planets forming in a disk to 2 stars coming together to shine brightly, to two asteroids that together orbit the Sun a bit faster, to two planets that collided, … it is a week for pairs.
