High above our heads, and spiralling across it in an intricate alignment, lies a digital beehive, collecting clusters of information through the cosmic web.
What do these mechanised "bees" look like? An intricate mesh covering this gigantic geoid? Or simplified integrated circuits with info-streams coursing through their structures?
It was mankind's dream to unravel the mysteries of what lies beyond the sky dome until one day that dream became reality with the invention of the Satellite.
Join us as we venture into the world of this engineering marvel with Hosts Athar and Aarushi in conversation with Nidhi and Shishir from MIT's student satellite team Parikshit!

Oumuamua!
As odd as the name may sound, it is that of an interstellar object that flew past our sun back in 2017. What was conspired to be an Alien messenger, a Weird space tech, and even a Spaceship, just turned out to be an Elongated pile of space rubble that did something in an environment we don't understand.
Join Omkar and Nikhil on this podcast, where they talk about what Oumuamua did, what it is made of, what makes it different from a comet, and more interestingly, how it managed not to get sucked by the sun's gravitational force despite approaching the sun so close; among other topics.
Who knows, Oumuamua's story might make you chef's kiss the idea of interstellar visitors- Oh muah muah!

Ancient poets used the name "Aurora" as a metaphor to refer to dawn. Some imagine that Auroras are the dancing spirits of their ancestors and some believe that they are the bridges of fire to the sky forged by the Gods. Spoiler alert, modern science does not think so. The phenomenon that causes Auroras is in fact much more dangerous and can potentially destroy the infrastructure on Earth. But our home planet has some tricks up its sleeve that help it control this and in turn, illuminates the sky with enchanting light shows. Tune in with Apeksha and Hema as they discuss the science behind these dazzling lights along with some interesting facts!
