The 365 Days of Astronomy

Practically speaking. Hosted by the ever practical Steve Nerlich. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is in situ resource utilization really worth the trouble? Here at Cheap Astronomy we tend to say disparaging things about in-situ resource utilization, but usually in response to suggestions that if we want to land on Mars all we have to do is make rocket fuel out of in situ resources to take off again. While ostensibly true, a substantial amount of infrastructure would be needed to both source and refine the ingredients to make that fuel and you’d probably want to experiment with a few different methods, expect a few false starts and have a few trial runs before you’d actually put people on your launch vehicle.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – What exactly is the space economy? The Space Economy is defined by the OECD as the full range of activities that create value and benefits to human beings in the course of exploring, researching, understanding, managing, and utilising space. As we’ve previously discussed both on this and the fabulous Science on the ISS podcast, exploring, researching and understanding space are important activities– but if we are really going to move forward, more of the managing and utilizing space need to come into play.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Hosted by Mike Simmons. - Phil Plait, known as “The Bad Astronomer,” ( https://badastronomy.beehiiv.com ) discusses his journey in science outreach, from debunking astronomy myths to writing popular books and consulting for science fiction. - He emphasizes the importance of reconnecting people with the wonder of the night sky, combating the disconnection caused by light pollution and digital media. - **Highlight:** *Science fiction's balance between storytelling and science accuracy:* "The story is more important than getting the science 100% right, but doing both creates a deeper experience."   Mike Simmons is the founder of Astronomy for Equity ( https://bmsis.org/astro4equity/ ).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8gSywBF4bI From  Aug 29, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. This planet was discovered in August 2006 by the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey.  It became the very first planet observed by the Kepler Space Telescope with the designation Kepler-1b.   Kepler-1b is a gas giant that is slightly larger than Jupiter and has one and a half times its mass, but orbits much closer to its star than Mercury does to our Sun. It takes only 2.5 days to complete one orbit, meaning that its year is very short. It also rotates synchronously with its star, meaning that one side always faces the star and the other side always faces away. This creates a huge temperature difference between the day and night sides, which can reach up to 1,500 degrees Celsius.   Get all episodes: https://exoplanetradio.com Music by Geodesium: https://lochnessproductions.com   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org Today's 2 topics: - In less than two hours my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Allesandra Serrano discovered two small fast moving space rocks. Both of them passed through the Earth-Moon system unimpeded. Other space rocks are not so lucky. - An object like 2023 MN5 impacts Earth once every 90,000 years or so creating a crater 5 miles in diameter an 1800 feet deep in sedimentary rock. 50 miles from the impact of such an object observers would feel the effects of a 7.1 Richter scale Earth. Rest assured that asteroid hunters will continue to track 2023 MN5 as it passes near Earth and Jupiter to make sure that its orbit does not change to make it a threat to humanity.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Observations using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) confirm astronomers’ expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam’s exceptionally wide field of view and special filters played a crucial role in reaching this conclusion, and the observations reveal why previous studies seeking to characterize the density of early-Universe quasar neighborhoods have yielded conflicting results. In this podcast, Dr. Trysten Lambert discusses how DECam enabled astronomers to reach this conclusion.   Bios: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.   Dr. Trystan Lambert’s research career has focused exclusively on extragalactic observational astronomy, exploring both low and high redshift regimes. During his M.Sc. at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, he contributed to the completion of the 2MASS Redshift Survey and developed the galaxy group catalog. He then moved to Chile, where he pursued my Ph.D. at Universidad Diego Portales, studying galaxies and quasars in the epoch of reionization using ALMA and DECam.   Dr. Lambert  is currently a Research Associate at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. He spends his days developing tools to identify large-scale structures in redshift surveys, particularly in the Wide Area VISTA Extragalactic Survey (WAVES). Identifying these large-scale structures allows us to map the distribution of dark matter in the local universe and provides a crucial test bed for current cosmological theories.   NOIRLab press release: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2422/ Science News Press Release: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/quasar-zapping-star-formation ICRAR press-release: https://www.icrar.org/quasar-neighbourhoods/ Original Paper: A lack of LAEs within 5Mpc of a luminous quasar in an overdensity at z=6.9: potential evidence of quasar negative feedback at protocluster scales: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.06870   NOIRLab social media channels can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/NOIRLabAstro https://twitter.com/NOIRLabAstro https://www.instagram.com/noirlabastro/ https://www.youtube.com/noirlabastro   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H0qsqZjLW0 The Most Efficient Propulsion System Out There From  May 15, 2018. People always ask me why we’re stuck with chemical rockets. Seriously, exploding a bunch of hydrogen or kerosene is the best we can do?    Good news, there are other, exotic science fiction-sounding propulsion systems out there which use electromagnetic fields to accelerate atoms, allowing their spacecraft to accelerate for months at a time.    I’m talking about ion engines, of course, and several spacecraft have already used these exotic thrusters to perform some of the most amazing missions in the exploration of the Solar System.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org Today's 2 topics: - Hungarian astronomer and geography teacher Krisztián Sárneczky was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Lynx with 0.6m (24 inch) telescope at the Piszkéstető station in the Mátra Mountains when an unknown object streaked through a set of his images. It is the 7th such object to be tracked in outer space and then observed to enter our atmosphere. A tiny asteroid the size of 2023 CX1 enters the Earth’s atmosphere about once a month and gives asteroid hunters a chance to practice for a big one. - Carson Fuls, one of my Catalina Sky Survey teammates, is leading the effort that will allow you to join our NASA funded adventure in asteroid hunting and discovery. You will learn how to scan our nightly archival images to discover new small solar system worlds.Happy asteroid hunting.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

I’m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare.  Let’s start by talking about the naked eye planets visible this month, the lunar phases, and then the meteor shower and other events, so you can plan further ahead than me.  Similar to October, in November Saturn and Jupiter are the steady highlights above, Venus shines brilliantly after sunset, and rocks fall from the sky.   A highlight: 17th - 18th – Leonid Meteor Shower – This annual, weak (10-15 per hour) meteor shower can have some wonderful years.  This year is good because the waxing crescent Moon will already be set early in the evening, making it clear of lunar light pollution into the morning, the best time to view it. Some advice for watching:  Find a dark location and lie down in a reclining chair or hammock Look around Leo’s head.  That is where the radiant is - where the meteors will appear to be coming from.  The strategy to observe this year is to get out there whenever you can, but the later you stay up, the more you’ll see, since the radiant will be higher and you’ll be closer to the peak.   Check the weather to see if the skies will be clear  Adapt your eyes to the dark by staying away from light sources or using a red light if you need to look at a star chart or not trip over something.   You never know when a nice meteor will burn up, to take a nice look at the sky in general, noting that the meteors will appear to go from the radiant in the head of Leo and outward.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

George’s Random Astronomical Object presents HD 11397. This Sun-like star might seem ordinary, but it actually contains abnormally large amounts of heavy elements, most notably barium, that it could not have formed itself.   Brief biography: Dr. George Bendo is an astronomer who specializes in studying interstellar dust and star formation in nearby galaxies.  He currently works at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester, and his primary role is to support other astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).  He has been creating biweekly episodes of George’s Random Astronomical Object since 2019.   Podcast link: https://www.randomastronomicalobject.com/   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYLtwPRhnU8 Ralph Wilkins hosts.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Oct 21, 2022. This show is all about Betelgeuse and supernovas (supernovae? Let's call the whole thing off). What will happen to Betelgeuse? How bright will it get? When will it go supernova? Will we get to see it? How do we predict supernovas?   A new study points to a rapid dimming (like the one we saw in 2019!) just before it obliterates itself in a violent release of energy that will make it brighter than anything else in the night sky.   But please do help us out by subscribing to the channel, if you don't already: https://www.youtube.com/awesomeastron...   And if you want to hear more from us we have 2 podcast episodes each month: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast...  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Yr24VA...

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org Today's 2 topics: - Project Breakthrough Listen is spending $100 million over 10 years so that radio telescopes can search for signals which may indicate extraterrestrial intelligence.In a recent article in the Astronomical Journal a team of astronomers published a paper entitled “A 4–8 GHz Galactic Center Search for Periodic Technosignatures”. The teams first effort yielded a null result, however, they plan to continue to search for rotating beacons which could be used by extraterrestrials to communicate with far flung regions of the Milky Way. - An extremely wide field of view camera, the Zwicky Transient Facility, operated by Caltech on Palomar Mountain in California is able to take images of the entire northern sky every couple of days. This capability has enabled to astronomers to find nearly 8,000, Type IA supernova. A recent discovery SN Zwicky is unique.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize, Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. Part 3 – SKAO Construction Commencement Ceremony In the third and final part of the SKAO Construction Commencement Ceremony series, Jacinta sits down with Professor Phil Diamond, the Director-General of the SKAO to discuss his thoughts and feelings around the construction commencement ceremony in Australia and on the future of the project as a whole.   Professor Phil Diamond has been a strong supporter of the SKA (Square Kilometre Array) since it was first proposed in the early 1990s and officially joined the project in October 2012. He has led the project through its various design stages up until this point where construction is finally commencing.   In this episode, Prof. Diamond shares his experiences with the site selection, his thoughts on the commencement ceremony as well as insights into the intricate design of the “Christmas tree” antennas of the SKA-Low Telescope. Join us for this behind-the-scenes look at the SKA project!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
