Guide To Space - Which Are The Real Photos of Spacecraft? They’re Out There & They’re Amazing
18/09/2024 Duration: 13minhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xapsn6-9sDU From Jan 23, 2018. The internet. It gives us an instant connection to the sum of human knowledge, but it also lets misinformation travel at the speed of light. Everyday I get comments about how people will believe we’ve been to space after I show them evidence of actual spacecraft taken in space and not CGI mock-ups. Challenge accepted. Here come a whole bunch of photos of spacecraft taken in space. Actually, I don’t really care if you believe it or not. I was just so excited about some of the fantastic pictures of spacecraft - taken by spacecraft - that I decided to dedicate a whole episode to it.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 287E & 288E: Sensing A Comet & Close One
15/09/2024 Duration: 05minDr. 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: - More than 400 years ago Galileo Galilei expanded human vision using a telescope to view the cosmos. Since then humans have extended their senses to view the Universe in x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, radio, and other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum not accessible to our senses. In a pioneering effort, Ekaterina Smirnova has employed the spectroscopy, magnetometry, and molecular data collected by the Rosetta spacecraft to create watercolor paintings, sculptures, a musical collaboration, and an augmented reality project to create new art forms. - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny had no way of knowing that the fast moving point of light that she had just discovered would create such a stir. Rose sent in her discovery and followup observations to the Minor Planet Center w

14/09/2024 Duration: 19minKilonova form when two neutron stars collide. They were first discovered by their gravitational wave emissions. In this podcast, NOIRLab’s Dr. André-Nicolas Chene described the discovery of a system that will become a kilonova in the future. Bios: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.. André-Nicolas Chene is an associate astronomer at NOIRLab. He completed his PhD at the Université de Montréal in 2007 and learned everything about the fundamentals of astronomical observations at the Observatoire du Mont Mégantic. He was research fellow at the NRC Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre and postdoc jointly at the Universidad de Concepción and the Universidad de Valparaíso before joining the Gemini Observatory (now a program of NOIRLab) in 2013. For almost 10 years, André-Nicolas took part in every phase of a Gemini observing program life cycle and has played a central role in Gemini's user support effort. André-Nicolas’s research

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #109: Planets
12/09/2024 Duration: 15minThings that orbit the Sun and clear their orbits. Dear Cheap Astronomy – What happens when worlds collide? The outcome of a collision between two planets depends on the speed of the collision, the angle of the collision and the relative masses of the two bodies and their composition – think rocky planets versus gas giants for example. A small planet approaching a large planet slowly might get tidally stretched and break up into pieces, but a fast moving one might impact before there’s been time for gravitational stretching to break it up. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Why is Mars’ sky red? A good place to start is to think about the colours we are familiar with in Earth’s sky. In the middle of the day, the overhead Sun is a bright white disk you can’t look at directly and the rest of the sky is blue. This is because most of the visible light from the Sun passes straight through the atmosphere, which is transparent to those wavelengths, except at the very short end – so rather than passing straight through, photons

Exoplanet Radio Ep. 25: Trillions of Worlds Without Stars
10/09/2024 Duration: 05minFrom August 23, 2023. Astronomers estimate that there are more free roaming planets in our galaxy than there are planets in orbit around stars. In fact, rogue exoplanets - planets with no star whatsoever - far outnumber all other planets in our galaxy, by 20 times. Trillions of worlds wandering alone.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 32: The Search For Neutrinos
09/09/2024 Duration: 28minhttp://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ Trillions of neutrinos are produced in our Sun through its nuclear reactions. These particles stream out at nearly the speed of light, and pass right through any matter they encounter. In fact, there are billions of them passing through your body right now. Learn how this elusive particle was first theorized and finally discovered. I don’t want to alarm the listeners but there is a flurry of particles from the Sun passing through each and every one of you right now. A lot of particles. In fact, there are 50 billion solar neutrinos passing through every one of us every second. Don’t worry, you can’t feel them; they barely interact with matter, but that’s what makes them interesting.

Scientists are just beginning to explore how Earth's glow relates to our weather and climate. - Humans are slamming projectiles into space rocks.

Last Minute Astronomer - September Episode
07/09/2024 Duration: 14minWhat is gracing the September 2024 skies? A juuuuust barely partial lunar eclipse, the best viewing for Saturn, 5 lunar close encounters, and the transition to fall. Hi everybody, I’m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare. We’ll start by talking about September’s big events, then highlight the naked eye planets, and finish up with the lunar phases, so you can plan ahead better than me. 7th – 8th – Opposition of Saturn – Saturn, Earth, and the Sun are essentially lined up, causing Saturn to rise at sunset, and set at sunrise, with best viewing around midnight. 17th - Just Barely Partial Lunar Eclipse - The Moon passes into the shadow that Earth is casting into the solar system, but only a little. Times here are Eastern Daylight, so adjust for your location, assuming you are in the Americas, Africa, or Europe. The penumbral stage will be almost not noticeable, however the hour of partiality will be. At 10:12pm the Moon will start to g

At AstroCamp. Astronomy 101 - Everything you need to know about asteroids! - What are they? - What are they made of? - Where are they?? Dr. Jen tells us how we understand so much about these small(ish) objects far away in the Asteroid Belt. Is the asteroid Belt really like the sci-fi depictions and are there other places in the solar system where these fragments of the early solar system roam? And no talk on asteroids would be complete without considering the threat to Earth (and all life on Earth) from them...

Astronomy Cast Ep. 96: Humans to Mars Part 3: Terraforming Mars
02/09/2024 Duration: 32minhttp://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From July 7, 2008. And now we reach the third part of our trilogy on the human exploration and colonization of Mars. Humans will inevitably tire of living underground, and will want to stretch their legs, and fill their lungs with fresh air. One day, we’ll contemplate the possibility of reshaping Mars to suit human life. Is it even possible? What technologies would be used, and what’s the best we can hope for?

Guide To Space - Why is Uranus on its Side? An Ancient Catastrophe of Planetary Proportions!
31/08/2024 Duration: 07minhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEQMqpj4rbQ From Aug 5, 2016. The Earth’s tilt is nothing compared to Uranus, which has been flipped right over on its side. What could have caused such a devastating impact to the planet to make it this way? It’s impossible to do an episode about Uranus without opening up the back door to a spit storm of potty humour. I get it, there’s something just hilarious about talking about your, mine and everyone’s anus. And even if you use the more sanitized and sterile term urine-us, it’s still pretty dirty, in an unwashed New York stairwell kind of way. You’re in us?
