This episode has everything! Creepy hands, cats, white dwarfs, and a whole lot of Pluto-sized worlds (from the past).
This week we look at the weird results in space science. From looking at how wildly different images from different IR telescopes can be colorized, to worlds colliding, to white dwarfs of unusual size ,and even to Earth's crust on the move, the news ... more

Great podcast overall. Thanks for sharing
Wanted to like this show, but it has significant political overtones that distract. The recent episode about SpaceX permits is hardly journalism, but becomes weirdly emotional and strident against SpaceX and Elon Musk. Smart on their part to get more funding from the left side culture warriors, but sad for those looking for straight forward space and astronomy news.
I love science podcasts and I have been listening to all of Dr Pamala Gay’s fantastic work for years. From the very beginning of Astronomy Cast I’ve been hooked. Lately I’ve noticed that this show needs to up the audio levels on Pamela’s voice. Every time the commercials come on I wince from how loud it gets because I have to turn it up high to hear Pamela. 6 stars if you fix that problem. Otherwise I love the show.
While I love the content, the audio levels are frustrating. (Hand-on-forehead).
When mixing in the speakers’ audio, please raise speakers’ volume. If you compare it to other podcasts audio levels, speaker audio is very, very low. Audio level of intro music and other fill/transitions is ok. But audio of those speaking is barely audible.
When listening to multiple podcasts and arriving at this one, after the intro in this podcast, I have to increase the volume by 1/3 to hear the speaker’s voice,... more
Absolutely love this podcast but the speaking is so low and then commercials blast out my ear! I don’t want to drop it from my playlist but will be forced to if this isn’t corrected. I understand the need for a sponsor but please even out the volume.
