Cosmic Vertigo presents.. Little Tiny

We join two observers for a total eclipse of the sun.

Cosmic Query | Total eclipse of the Sun

The International Space Station is travelling in low Earth orbit at a leisurely 7.66km per second (approx). Moving at that speed, the crew of the ISS witnesses a sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes.

019 | Faster than slow

The search for alien life continues but at what point do we declare that we are alone in the Universe?

Cosmic Query | First contact

You'd think we'd notice thousands of explosions in the night sky. Shorter than a millisecond, these bursts were first recorded in 2007 and while scientists know they're there, we are still unsure of their origin.

018 | Quicker than quick

Do you ever feel dizzy when you think about the incomprehensible scale of space? We call that feeling Cosmic Vertigo. Welcome to a head-spinning conversation between two friends who study the sky for a living.
