Get ready to explore a 10 billion year old mystery! A closely bound
duo of energetic quasars, the hallmark of a pair of merging
galaxies, have been discovered when the Universe was only 3 billion
years old. What secrets do these quasars hold and why have they
lasted so long? Join us as we unravel this age-old mystery and
uncover the secrets of the cosmos. But be warned, the answers may
not be what you expect...

In this episode, you will be able to:

*Uncover the fascinating story behind the discovery of dual quasars
from a 10-billion-year-old galaxy merger

*Delve into the enigmatic Lyman alpha radiation bar of light
observed on Saturn

*Explore the environmental impact and challenges faced by the
groundbreaking Square Kilometre Array radio telescope

*Understand the science of infrared radiation, heat transmission,
and black body light emissions *Consider the odds of life existing
on Enceladus and other high-pressure ice moons

'Cosmic Noon is one of the hot topics because it's that
period when the Universe was just a few billion years old, when
star formation was at its peak.' - Fred Watson
