The 365 Days Of Astronomy, The Daily Podcast Of The International Year Of Astronomy 2009

Fron September 7, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. Human beings have discovered over five thousand five hundred exoplanets.  Over 80 percent of them have orbits shorter than 50 days which would place them at over twice as close to their star as Mercury is to the Sun.  Some are even closer.  Recent observations from TESS however have found one with an orbit of 82 days and another measured in hundreds of days.   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!
