The Nobel Prize for Physics 2017 was announced this week and astronomers won the day! So who won the prize and why? This week Dr Nick Stone swung by the Cool Worlds Lab to tell us about the historic discovery of graviational waves from merging black holes and how this year's winner pioneered methods to discover them.

This week a plot showing the global sea ice over time went viral due to shockingly low levels, smashing previous records. The plot was so weird that we decided to check out the data for ourselves and see if it was legit. Indeed, we can reproduce this alarming plot and provide some links and scripts for any of you who want to go ahead and try yourselves. Here we get into why we think these kinds of weird observations may become more common in the future.

Solar Eclipse is this Monday! To celebrate we shot a little video explaining what astronomers really think about eclipses, why eclipses don't attract conspiracy theories and how eclipses for planet-moon systems could re-create the movie Pitch Black.

Can we explain how Superman can fly, or at least jump really high, using science? Professor Kipping explains the limits of how high an alien like Superman could jump on the Earth, using what we know about exoplanets to date. If you like these slightly different types of videos from our channel, let us know!

A remarkable method in astronomy uses transiting exoplanets to measure the average density of the parent star. By comparing this value to other ways of measuring a star's density, astronomers can learn more about the planet, such as its orbital shape. Prof Kipping breaks down how this is possible in a simplified way and explains how "Asterodensity Profiling" is becoming an important tool in astronomy.

Astronomers are in a frenzy pointing their telescopes an alien visitor - the first asteroid which appears to have originated from outside the Solar System. So what do we know about this object, called 'Oumuamua, so far and how special is it really?

Jupiter is the King of the Solar System but exoplanet surveys have revealed that it's an unusual type of world. Just ~10% of Sun-like stars have planets of the same mass and orbit as Jupiter. So could the existence of Jupiter be somehow beneficial to emergence of complex life, like us, on other planets in the system? On the hand, maybe Jupiter's strong gravity should scatter asteroids towards us, perhaps making things worse? Dr Elisa Quintana from NASA Goddard dropped in to the Cool Worlds Lab and explained her research trying to resolve the mystery of Jupiter's role: friend or foe?
