Spacetime With Stuart Gary

*The most sensitive ever Dark Matter search gets underway Scientists have begun their most sensitive ever search for a possible Dark Matter candidate called the Axion. *How humans touched the edge of space Why high altitude balloons still plan a important role in space sciences *How man has touched the edge of space Man’s first attempts to touch the edge of space was a two pronged effort. Captured NAZI V2 rockets allowed scientists to get brief glimpses of space and the curvature of the Earth as these missiles travelled along ballistic trajectories. But for longer duration scientific studies – researchers relied on high altitude balloons to carry scientific payloads and even people to the edge of space. *Studying the gamma ray skies Gamma rays are the most energetic forms of electromagnetic radiation and are emitted by some of the most powerful events in the universe. Now, a team of astronomers have published 14 papers in a special issue of the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics covering some fifteen years
