To celebrate the premiere of @Coldplay's latest single 'Higher Power’, the band linked up for an extraterrestrial video chat with French ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who is currently on a six-month mission on board the International Space Station. A specially recorded performance of Higher Power - featuring dancing alien holograms - was beamed up to Thomas, who gave the track its very first play on board the Station. The song’s premiere followed a conversation which took in similarities between life on tour and life on the Space Station, how planet Earth looks from space and its fragility; and how Thomas listens to music in microgravity.

This week on Space Radio Live I rant… errrr, talk… about the Pro (yes, singular,) and Cons of having thousands of small communication satellites orbiting the Earth. I also answer some viewer questions, including: ► Why are scientists so surprised to find galaxies at the edge of the observable Universe? ► How the inherent nature of Space-Time impacts Earth-based observations using light that has just arrived here; ► … and much more.

From its vantage point in New Mexico, the Very Large Array will map 80 percent of the sky in three phases over seven years and is expected to catalog approximately 10 million radio sources. The survey will collect data from powerful, cosmic sources allowing the scientific community to image supernova explosions, gamma-ray bursts, and the collisions of neutron stars that are obscured from visible-light telescopes by thick clouds of dust. The VLA’s ability to see through dust and clouds will make the survey an important tool in the discovery of new radio objects. Join our host Summer Ash of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory as she talks about how the VLA is taking the time to see the big picture of the radio sky.

In April 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope project released the first direct image of a black hole in the galaxy M87. The series of images in this video represent an extensive observing campaign by telescopes around the globe and in space of M87's black hole and the region around it. These telescopes, which included NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, cover the entire spectrum of light from radio waves to gamma rays. The images also range in scale from a fraction of a light year to hundreds of thousands of light years. These combined data will help scientists gain crucial insight into the black hole's properties. More at: https://chandra.si.edu/photo/2021/m87/ Video compilation: NASA/GSFC/SVS/M.Subbarao & NASA/CXC/SAO/A.Jubett Image credit: The EHT Multi-wavelength Science Working Group, the collaborations of the EHT, EAVN, H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS; EVN; VLBA; GMVA; HST; Swift; Chandra; NuSTAR; Fermi; NASA, ESA and ESO. Visual Description: M87 Black Hole This release features a video that takes us through visual representations of data collected by 19 of the world's most powerful telescopes. The telescopes, which together collect light from across the spectrum, were part of a coordinated observation. At various times between late March and early May of 2017, the telescopes were all used to observe the famous supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy, about 55 million light-years from Earth. The video slowly zooms out through images representing data from the different types of telescopes. As we zoom out, more of the black hole enters the frame. We start with an image that resembles a glowing orange donut, brighter on the bottom than on top, floating in the black of space. Titles indicate that this represents Radio data from the Event Horizon Telescope. The faint outline of a square appears over top of the donut shape. Onscreen text indicates that each side of this square represents a distance of 0.01 light-years. As the video zooms out, the donut becomes a dot inside a bright vertical oval with a white core and yellow and orange outer rings. We zoom out further, and the oval and its pale orange companion shapes recede into the distance, replaced by a brilliant white dome shape nearing 1 light-year across. A mottled white and orange pattern streaks from the dome toward our upper right, like a tail. This is a jet of particles traveling at the speed of light, powered by the black hole. A zigzagging pattern inside the jet becomes apparent when it nears 10 light-years in length. When we zoom out further such that the white dome shape and the bright orange jet is approximately 100 light-years long, it presents as a solid streak. When we zoom out further, the black hole becomes a brilliant white egg-shape nearing 1,000 light-years in length. At this point, the video splits into three vertical panels. On our left are representations from radio telescopes, presented in oranges and whites against a black background. On our right are representations of X-ray data, presented as purple and white shapes on a black background. And in the middle are visible light images which feature white shapes on a sky blue background. In all three representations, the jet continues to extend toward our upper right. A representation of the black hole's gamma ray emissions then eclipses the three vertical panels. It now resembles a glowing white ball surrounded by an irregular neon purple ring, which measures almost 1,000,000 light-years across. At this point, the video stops zooming out, and pauses on this image from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. In the final seconds of the video, we quickly zoom back in, repeating much of the video in reverse.
