Join renowned Australian astronomer David Reneke as we explore the wonders—and challenges—of our universe. This week, we cover three fascinating topics:


Artemis, We Have a Problem: NASA’s Moon return program faces technical, financial, and leadership hurdles, yet aims for a crewed flyby in 2026 and a landing in 2027.


Asteroids, Comets & Meteors: Learn the differences between these space rocks, the threat they pose, and how NASA’s DART mission is testing planetary defense.


Buying a Star: Star-naming gifts are symbolic, not official, but make for fun and meaningful presents.

David will guide listeners through space science, planetary defense, and celestial curiosities, explaining what’s real, what’s symbolic, and what Australians can see in the night sky themselves.

Whether you’re curious about lunar missions, the next meteor shower, or just want to gaze at the stars, this episode takes you from the Moon to the far reaches of the cosmos.
