Astronomy Cast Ep. 408: Universe Cannibalism Welcome to Astronomy Cast, our weekly facts based journey through the cosmos. Where we help you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know. My name is Fraser Cain, I'm the publisher of Universe Today. With me is Dr. Pamela Gay, a professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and the director of Cosmoquest. Hi Pamela, how are you doing? We've talked about stellar cannibalism and galactic cannibalism, but now it's time to take this concept to its logical extreme - universe cannibalism. In the multiverse theory of physics we live in just one of a vast range of universes which might interact with each other. Let's look for the evidence.

The close call experienced by the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter is only one of the most recent brushes with catastrophe that spaceflight has experienced en route to Mars.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - Following a perfectly executed three day orbital rendezvous, NASA astronaut and Expedition 47 Commander Tim Kopra successfully reached out with the International Space Station's robotic arm, Canadarm2, grabbed hold and captured Orbital ATK's commercial Cygnus cargo freighter at 6:51 a.m. EDT, this morning, Saturday, March 26, 2016.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - This week's Atlas V rocket launch of a Cygnus cargo ship to the International Space Station (ISS) apparently experienced a first stage engine anomaly during the climb to space that required a longer firing of the boosters upper stage engine so the payload could successfully achieve the required orbit

We all know that planet Earth rotates on its axis as well as around the Sun. But this period yields some different results, depending on how you measure it.
