http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From September 14, 2009. We think we live near an average star, but that's not the case at all. Compared to most stars in the Universe, the Sun is a giant! Let's look at the small end of the stellar spectrum, to stars with a fraction of the size and mass of our own Sun. There are many ways that a star can get small, and they lead dramatically different lives and deaths.

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 November 2024. Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Carson Fuls was using the new hundred million pixel camera on our team's Schmidt telescope located on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona, when he discovered 2017 AG13. It passes near the Earth's orbit twice a year on its own 345 day path around the Sun. When Carson spotted it, 9 lunar distances from him it was heading in our direction at about nine and a half miles per second. Three days later it came to less than two times the distance the Moon's distance from us. Carson's new space rock, 2017 AG13's orbit, can bring it to less than 2,000 miles from the surface of our planet. It will not come near the Earth again until 2091 and will not strike the Earth in the foreseeable future. - Comet C2/2015 V2 Johnson was discovered by my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Jess Johnson on November 3, 2015. It travels on a hyperbolic path around the Sun which is highly inclined to the plane where the planets and most of the asteroids travel. Jess's comet's path takes it from deep space into the inner solar system slightly further from the Sun than the planet Mars. Although it will not get closer to the Earth than about 75 million miles it may out gas enough material to make it visible to the naked eye.

Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com - Sept 1 - Aurigids ZHR=10 related to Comet Keiss The comet was discovered by Carl Clarence Kiess at Lick Observatory on a photographic plate obtained in the morning hours of 6 July 1911 with the Crocker photographic telescope. The comet appeared as a distorted nebulous object with a short tail. The presence of the comet was confirmed visually the next day. The comet had a well condensed nucleus and a faint tail. In photographs the tail was four degrees long. The comet then was of seventh magnitude and moving southwards. A preliminary orbit suggested the comet was past its perihelion upon discovery and it was calculated that it would approach Earth at a distance of 0.27 AU (40 million km; 25 million mi) on 20 August. On 19 August the comet was reported to be visible with the naked eye, peaking at an estimated apparent magnitude of 5. The comet had been suggested in 1911 to be the return of comet C/1790 A1 (Herschel), also known by its old designation, 1790 I.However, further calculations revealed that the orbit of comet Kiess had an eccentricity too high for an orbital period of 122 years, with the orbit calculated by Louis Lindsey in 1932 indicating an orbital period of 1,903 years. - Venus 1.5° from Beehive in morning sky - Sept 5 - Wargentin Pancake Visible - Bottom left of Moon - Sept 7 - Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse - Can't see it here but Central to West Au and centered on India. - Sept 8 - Saturn, Neptune & Moon congregate in late evening sky - Sept 11 - Carbon Star R Fornacis best tonight - Sept 12 - Moon 1° North of Pleiades - Sept 14 - Last quarter Moon NGC 7552 well placed tonight - Sept 15 - Lunar Curtis X Visible Zodiacal light visible in Eastern morning sky next two weeks - Sept 16 - Jupiter South of Moon - Sept 17 - Follow Capella unaided eye into daylight this week. - Sept 19 - Regulus, Venus & Moon form a tight triangle in early morning sky.

Asking questions and not always answering them. Is there hope? Well, sure. The question arises where the Drake Equation, aiming to quantify the likely number of detectable intelligent civilizations out there includes a term representing the inherent risk of any intelligent civilization destroying itself. It is just a risk, could be low could be high, but its wide acceptance as a part of the whole equation does suggest we have some pessimism about our own future. Could dark matter be black holes? Well, no. Firstly. we've discussed before how black holes can't really be dark matter. Dark matter is not only invisible, but it's also transparent. Black holes can be invisible against a black background and after all space is a black background.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RucWv35XwD0 Hosted by Tony Darnell. From Oct 11, 2023. Over the course of this show, we've talked many, many times about the Transit Method for detecting exoplanets. It is simply the measure of a star's decrease in brightness as the star passes through our line of sight. This once difficult measurement has now become commonplace and can even be done with advanced amateur astronomy equipment under a reasonably dark sky. From this measurement, we can infer a few things about the planets passing by: we can get an indication of its size and if we measure several transits, we can get the period of the orbit around the host star. We can also get an estimate of the period and eccentricity of the orbit by the width of the dip in the light curve. But there is another, even more difficult measurement we can make using transit telescopes that are an important tool for learning about planets around other stars: exoplanet secondary eclipses.

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From October & November 2024. Today's 2 topics: - An example that a relatively large space rock can approach the Earth suddenly started with what appeared as a bright star moving across the images that I had just obtained with the Catalina Sky Survey's 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona. It was about 100 times brighter than most of Earth approaching objects asteroid hunters discover. Over the next 64 hours it was tracked by 45 different observatories around the globe. This previously unknown space rock, now named 2017 AG5, is approximately 370 feet in diameter and can come closer than the Moon's distance to us. - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has published an extensive data based review, analysis, and summary of the Earth's Climate. 2016 was hotter than 2015 which was hotter than 2014. 2016 is the warmest year the Earth has been in the more than 180 years of record keeping. Overall in 2016 the whole Earth was 1.8 F above the 1951-1980 average. The Arctic in 2016 was 7.2F higher than it was the pre-industrial age.

In January 2025, astronomers woke up to an alert of a mysterious event that occurred 2.8 billion light years away from Earth. As such things go, this was fairly close to Earth and was an opportunity for detailed observation of the event's evolution. It was a powerful burst of X-rays, known as a fast X-ray transient or FXT. This burst was named ‘EP 250108a', after the Einstein Probe, that's the EP part, that detected the event. Let's call it 108a. Just between us… FXTs are generally hard to detect and occur far from the Earth. They only last between a few seconds to a few hours, so the astronomers who discovered 108a got really excited when the alert came, uh, knocking on their door. Soon, a large international team of researchers assembled to study the of these mysterious bursts.

Can the difficulty of interstellar travel the answer to the Fermi paradox? Or maybe it's the fact that we can only apply it to our galaxy and not further? Or maybe we can even find life in our solar system?
We definitely won't see a space elevator built in any foreseeable future. But there is a similar but much more practical approach – a skyhook. How close are we to creating one? Why is it useful? What challenges does it bring and when can we expect first practical demonstrations? Finding out in this interview.

Today's 2 topics: - A location 9,000 feet above sea level in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco is ideal for an asteroid hunter since the weather is often clear and the skies are dark. It was thus intriguing for me to see that a new asteroid discovery was posted from J43 which is the Morocco Oukaïmeden Sky Survey or (MOSS) located near Marrakech, a name I had not encountered except in the Crosby, Stills, and Nash song "Marrakech Express". The MOSS observatory has team members in Morocco, France, and Switzerland, call themselves amateurs, and produces professional quality results. - 2016 was another record year for asteroid hunters during which we discovered 1,894 new Earth approaching objects. My team, the NASA funded, Catalina Sky Survey, led the pack with 931 Near Earth Asteroid discoveries.

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From February 21, 2011. When we look around our planet, we see a huge variety in landforms: mountains, valleys, plateaus, and more. Continents rise and fall over the eons, providing geologists with a history of the planet's evolution. The study of these changes is known as geomorphology, and the lessons we learn here on Earth apply to the other objects in the Solar System.

What would happen if we moved a jovian moon to Mars? What are black holes spitting out as those jets? What's the best case scenario for Europa Clipper's search for life? And in Q&A+, how are we searching for Sun-like stars?
How did supermassive black holes get so big so early? There are two main models for that, and JWST just got a huge boost for the one that suggests they can form via a direct collapse of gas clouds. How did the researchers pull the first observations of a potential birth of a SMBH? Finding out in this interview.

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.
