The 365 Days of Astronomy

From August 20, 2020. Join us today as we look at how citizen science helped discover 100 cool worlds nearby. Then we examine evidence that exploding stars may have contributed to a mass extinction on Earth. Speaking of mass extinctions, an asteroid narrowly missed our planet last weekend. Because… 2020.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgQexNb0_0s From Apr 15, 2017. Hosted by Fraser Cain. Did you hear that NASA just announced an important discovery in the quest to find life on other places in the Solar System? In this quick episode, Fraser details what NASA found on Saturn's Enceladus and Jupiter's Europa, and what it means for the search for life.

Strange new worlds. Dear Cheap Astronomy – How big can rocky planets and how small can gas giants get? Well there is some data, so we don't have to talk in hypotheticals. There's a rocky planet with about 40 times Earth mass and about 3 and a half times Earth's diameter, which is about 85% of Neptune's diameter. So, it's a mighty big rocky planet that's approaching gas giant scale. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Will we grow crops in Martian regolith? So, firstly you can't really grow any plants from Earth on Mars since Earth plants need oxygen. While photosynthesis can make oxygen, plants don't have vascular system that can move the oxygen around. So if there isn't enough oxygen in the atmosphere to start with, then the roots die and the plant dies.

From October 9, 2013. Nothing lasts forever, stars live and die over the course of hundreds of millions to billions, and in the case of red dwarf stars, trillions of years. Planets are born from the remnants of their parent stars and die over a shorter timescale. Life on those planets, if it exists, is presumed to be shorter still, governed entirely by the environments provided by the combination of the star and planetary characteristics. How long life lasts there ultimately depends on how long the star lives and how it dies. Using our solar system as an example, since we know life arose here, how long will it last? Astronomers think they have an answer. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From June 3, 2013. Hosted by Dr. Pamela Gay and Fraser Cain. Our modern society depends on science. It impacts the way we eat, work, communicate and play. And yet, most people take our amazing scientific advancement for granted, and some are even hostile to it. What can we do to spread the love of science through education, outreach and media?

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 From July & August 2024. Today's 2 topics: - During a recent 60 day period of time 23 space rocks came closer to Earth than our Moon. - When the Earth enters a stream of high speed protons and other charged particles in the solar wind or our home planet is impacted by a solar coronal mass ejection the Earth's strong magnetic field acts a a shield. Mars on the other hand lacks an Earth-like magnetic field and thus has little protection from solar storms.

Astronomers have discovered a companion star in an incredibly tight orbit around Betelgeuse using the NASA and U.S. National Science Foundation-funded 'Alopeke instrument on Gemini North, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, partly funded by the NSF and operated by NSF NOIRLab. In this podcast, Dr. Steve Howell describes the possible discovery of this long sought after companion and future observations research into this type of star system. Bios: - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Dr. Howell has spent over 40 years as a professional astronomer. During that time, he developed digital (CCD) imaging instrumentation and data reduction techniques space and ground-based telescopes, performed research in a wide variety of astronomical areas and collaborated with hundreds of astronomers world-wide. His areas of expertise are instrumentation, interacting binaries, stellar evolution, and exoplanets. Howell's professional work has providing community service to the field of astronomy as well as formal and informal STEM education.

From July 30, 2025. In this week's episode we take a look at all the news our outer solar system has to offer. From newly discovered outer solar system objects to interstellar comet 3I/Atlas to the Perseid Meteor shower, we have icy objects and absolutely no aliens (It's never aliens #IYKYK).

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From October 17, 2011. What can we say about Einstein? Albert! Freaking! Einstein! Lots, actually. In this show we're going to talk about the most revolutionary physicist… ever. He completely changed our understanding of time, and space, and energy, and gravity. He made predictions about the nature of the Universe that we're still testing out. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From July, 2024. Today's 2 topics: - During a recent 60 day period asteroid hunters observed 23 asteroids which came closer to us than our Moon. Six of them passed closer to the Earth's surface than 22,236 miles which is the distance to our communication satellites. - It is hard to obtain time on the 8m Gemini South Observatory telescope on Cerro Pachon in Chile and the Large Binocular Telescope with its twin 8m mirrors on Mt. Graham, Arizona since they are among the largest telescopes in the world. My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Kacper Wierzchos wrote a scientifically competitive proposal to obtain the time to track the potentially hazardous asteroid 2016 PR38 on both of these telescopes when it was near its furthest point from our Sun and thus much too faint for the telescopes asteroid hunters routinely use.

From August 19, 2017. Your audio editor, Richard Drumm, interviewed Astronomy Cast's co host Fraser Cain. The idea was to interview him before and after the total solar eclipse that was upcoming, and get his before and after impression of the event. Unfortunately the clouds at Carbondale, Illinois, had other plans. Fraser & Pamela were at SIUC's Stadium and Richard was 2 miles away at the SIUC School of Agricultural Sciences. Richard had a clear sky and Fraser & Pamela did not. This unfortunate turn of events blew the interview's main purpose to bits, so to speak. Even so, the interview is informative and worth a listen!

From September 16, 2022. Using computer simulations, researchers have pieced together a possible scenario where Titan caused another of Saturn's moons to break up and become the beautiful ring system we see today. Plus, organic molecules on Mars, the death of the dinosaurs, and a review of Lightyear on Disney+.

Hosted by Avivah Yamani, your Director. What happens when a star dies? Today we journey through the powerful stellar finales, from the gentle flare of a nova to the cataclysmic force of a kilonova. Join us as we unravel the stories behind novae, supernovae, hypernovae, kilonovae, and the recently discovered micronovae. Have a listen & find out what makes stars go out with a bang!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8omjQrl2f4 Hosted by Tony Darnell. From August 22, 2018. Are we alone? How unique is our Earth? Should the hunt for life beyond Earth uncover a multitude of habitable worlds and few (if any) inhabited ones, humanity would begin to understand just how lonely and fragile our situation is. On the other hand, if our hunt yields a true diversity of inhabited worlds, then we would learn something fundamental about the commonality of life in the cosmos. Like this content?
