In this episode we gaze at the moon, rediscover our romantic cosmic neighbour, — is it as pleasant as it seems or is it a hostile place with a violent past. What’s the story of moon mountains, gravitational lumps and permanent shadow region(PSR)? What’s the story of water in moon, where is it present and how did we come to know. More importantly why is the moon a great candidate to decipher our cosmic origin. Listen to the two part series - to learn a little deeper about the moon and the context of Chandrayaan 3 mission to truly appreciate the endeavour. What does all of these missions mean to us, as a citizen of the planet. Where and how are we going to go in the next few decades from a space travel standpoint.

| 28 Aug 2024 | Drums of the Jungle: Uncovering Chimpanzee Life [Audio Journey] | 00:27:31 | |
Intelligence, knowledge, society, culture—these are often seen as exclusive human traits, setting us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. But what if we’re wrong? What if the sounds in the natural world hold more truth than we can accept? Dr. Kathelijne Koops, a primatologist and biological anthropologist from the University of Zurich, takes us deep into the dense forests of the Nimba Mountains in Western Africa. Amid ancient trees and whispering winds, we encounter sounds that challenge our very understanding of what it means to be human. This episode is sparked by an exhibit at Science Gallery Bengaluru, created by the sound artist Nikki Buzzi. The forest is not for the faint of heart. Proceed with caution. What you hear might just change you… forever. Note: This episode contains original sounds recorded in the field. Please use headphones for optimal experience.
