What would happen if our Sun traveled through a wormhole to another part of the galaxy? In this episode, we explore this big science question using real astronomy and a little imagination.
We talk about how Earth’s days and seasons work, what the galaxy is like beyond our neighborhood, and how the night sky might change if our solar system moved. Along the way, listeners learn about wormholes, stars, and why our place in the Milky Way is just right for life.
If you would like to ask a space question, please have your grown-up send it to FoundinSpacePodcast@gmail.com. If you would like your name included with the question, please include its pronunciation.

Are there green stars? In this episode, we explore a question that sounds simple—but has a surprising answer. Learn how star colors are linked to temperature, why we see some stars as red, blue, or yellow, and why green stars don’t appear green to us—even when they do emit green light! We also talk about visible light, wavelengths, how our eyes interpret color, and what the Sun’s color really is. By the end, you’ll understand what a G-type star is, how stars are classified, and why the night sky doesn't shine in green.

What might happen if you left the universe? In this episode, we explore the mysteries of cosmology, from the limits of the observable universe to the mind-bending idea of multiverses. We break down concepts like space, time, dark energy, and Max Tegmark’s levels of parallel universes—while reminding ourselves that some of these are still just ideas waiting for ways to be tested.

Is there water on the Sun? It might sound impossible, but the answer is yes—in a way! In this episode, we dive into the science of the Sun to find out how water vapor can exist in its cooler regions called sunspots. Along the way, we explore the states of matter, learn what plasma is, and discover how scientists use a tool called spectroscopy—kind of like reading a rainbow barcode—to detect different elements, even on the surface of a star. We also talk about how spacecraft like the Parker Solar Probe help us study the Sun from a safe distance. Get ready to explore one of the hottest, most surprising places in the solar system!

Introduction to Rogue Planets:
Defining Planets and Stellar Formation:
An exploration of what defines a planet, focusing on the importance of mass and gravity in shaping celestial bodies into spherical forms and generating internal movement, such as convection.
Planetary Formation Theories:
Discussion of two main theories on how planets form: the gravitational collapse of material in large clouds and the accretion of smaller objects into larger ones. This provides context for understanding how rogue planets might come into existence.
Detecting Rogue Planets:
Insight into the challenges of detecting rogue planets, as they don't orbit stars and can't be observed through the usual methods used for exoplanets. Techniques such as gravitational lensing and infrared observations are explained.
The Prevalence of Rogue Planets:
Highlighting the ongoing discoveries of rogue planets and the uncertainty surrounding their abundance in the galaxy. Some estimates suggest there might be hundreds of rogue planets for every star in the Milky Way.
