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. 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, 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!

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?

FRBs are a great example of a modern day space mystery. We've seen a lot of them. We know a fair amount about them. But we still don't really know for sure how do they work and what's their true source. Some of them can be super weird. How exactly? Finding out in this interview.

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From November 13, 2006. You hear distances all the time in astronomy. This star is 10 light-years away; that galaxy is 50 million light-years away; that Big Bang over there happened 13.7 billion years ago. But how did astronomers actually figure out how far away everything is? It's not a single measuring stick. Instead, astronomers have built up a series of overlapping measuring tools (yes, we're calling supernovae and variable stars “tools”), which take us from right around the corner to very ends of the Universe.

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From June & July 2024. Today's 2 topics: - Since larger space rocks are rare, it was surprising when my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Hannes Groller found a half mile diameter asteroid traveling through the constellation of Auriga. Fortunately on it's current path 2024 JW1 can't come closer than 53 lunar distances from us. Asteroid hunters will continue to track 2024 JW1 to make sure that it does not become a threat as it passes near Earth, Mars , and Jupiter. - After months of training Survey Operations Specialist Tracie Beuden came full circle during her first solo 3 night observing run on the 60 inch telescope as she hosted groups of visitors as the observer instead of the tour guide.

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize, Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. From June 19, 2024. Season 6. In this episode of The Cosmic Savannah, our hosts chat with Dr. Rojovola Zara-Nomena Randriamanakoto from the South African Astronomical Observatory about her transformative journey from Madagascar to becoming an instrumental figure in astronomy, advocating for women in STEM, and her research on star clusters and colliding galaxies. Dr. Zara Randriamanakoto is an influential astronomer from Madagascar working at the South African Astronomical Observatory. She moved to South Africa in 2008, overcoming language barriers and limited initial exposure to computers and programming. Her journey into astronomy was driven by an opportunity linked to the Square Kilometre Array project. Zara studies massive star clusters, particularly in collisional ring galaxies, utilizing data from the Hubble Space Telescope. She has played a pivotal role in developing the astronomy community in Madagascar, focusing on education, outreach, and increasing female participation in STEM fields. Zara has received several prestigious awards, including the L'Oreal UNESCO Young Talent Program and the Mail and Guardian 200 Young South Africans. She is committed to mentoring and inspiring the next generation of scientists and is actively involved in promoting astronomy both in Madagascar and South Africa.

Hosted by Richard Drumm, your editor! Planets don't just pop out of nowhere, fully formed and ready for astronomers to study. First, they begin as tiny little specks of dust, forming inside the clouds of gas around baby stars, which are known as protoplanetary discs. These dusty specks condense from the hottest parts of the cloud, kinda like the way raindrops form inside rainclouds. Over time, the specks of dust collide and stick together, forming rocky pebbles. When enough of these pebbles clump together, they can collapse under their own weight to form asteroid-sized rocks. These new-born asteroids gravitationally attract the material around them until they've grown into full-sized planets.

Very dense and podcastable. Cheap Astronomy finds there can never be too many podcasts about black holes. Dear Cheap Astronomy – What are squeezars? Squeezars are stars that orbit supermassive black holes. Essentially they are stars on a slow death spiral into the black hole and the squeezing referred to is the tidal stretch being exerted upon them as the orbit closer and closer to the black hole's event horizon. That tidal stretching heats them up, a bit like how the moon of Io, orbiting close to Jupiter is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System. So they are unusually hot and they are also unusually fast. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Do black holes float in water? Well, the internet says they do so it must be true. But let's unpack this a bit. The internet also says that if you compress the Earth down to marble size it will become a black hole. This is true in a hypothetical sense, but actually compressing the Earth down to marble size is pretty much impossible. You could use some kind of gargantuan press to start the process, but once the Earth becomes denser than the material the press surfaces are made of, the press becomes useless.

This is an interview with me on The Last Easy Mile podcast with Josh Farahi. Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFRZvPc3U&ab_channel=TheLastEasyMilePodcast THE LAST EASY MILE: https://linktr.ee/TheLastEasyMilePodcast In this episode, Fraser Cain—founder of Universe Today and co-host of Astronomy Cast—shares why space still matters. From watching meteor showers with your kids to seeing Saturn's rings through binoculars in a city, Fraser offers practical ways to reconnect with awe. He reflects on raising science-minded kids, his love of tabletop RPGs, and how parents can create deeper imaginative experiences than screens can provide. We also talk about the James Webb Space Telescope, the Mars rovers, and the Vera Rubin Observatory, which will capture time-lapse images of the sky. Fraser warns against the growing distrust of experts, advocating for humility, critical thinking, and Carl Sagan's “baloney detection toolkit.”

From October 22, 2012. When an object is orbiting the Earth, it's really falling. The trick, described in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. There are several different kinds of orbits, and they are good for different reasons. From suborbital jumps to geostationary orbit, time to learn everything there is to know about going around and around and around.

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From June 2024. Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Jacqueline Fazekas was asteroid hunting with our small but mighty Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona when she spotted and then reported a bright moving point of light in the night sky to the Minor Planet Center. Given the rate of human caused climate change one has to wonder about the state of our planet in January of 2163 when 2024 ER is predicted to pass safely some 66 lunar distances from humanity. - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Kacper Wierzchos was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Draco with the Steward Observatory Bok 90 inch telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona when he discovered a faint fuzzy object moving through the night sky.Given the global warming which is happening in 2024 one has to wonder about the state of humanity and our home planet when comet C/2024 G1 (Wierzchos) returns to the inner solar system in 3331 CE.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x0RpGa_IXA From Jun 12, 2018. The Hubble Space Telescope has been in space for 28 years, producing some of the most beautiful and scientifically important images of the cosmos that humanity has ever taken. But let's face it, Hubble is getting old, and it probably won't be with us for too much longer. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is in the final stages of testing, and WFIRST (Nancy Grace Roman) is waiting in the wings. You'll be glad to know there are even more space telescopes in the works, a set of four powerful instruments in design right now, which will be part of the next Decadal Survey, and helping to answer the most fundamental questions about the cosmos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaauzzrH4N8 From Oct 4, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. In recent years, scientists have made great strides in the search for extraterrestrial life. They have discovered thousands of exoplanets. And some of them are located in the habitable zone of their star, which means that liquid water could exist on their surface and is essential for life as we know it. The search for life however, is a little more involved than finding planets, measuring their location and distance around the star and figuring out their location within a habitable zone.

Which type of planet that's not in the Solar System is the most interesting? Can we detect an interstellar black hole? Should science journalists report about non-conventional science theories? And in our extended Q&A+ version, will the success of Vera Rubin stimulate building a northern hemisphere version of it?
Did the recent streak of Starship failures change my confidence is SpaceX's future success? How can we measure the rotation of gas giant planets? Is there a chance Voyagers can make another Pale Blue Dot image? And in our Q&A+ extended version, do we have a moral obligation to spread life in the Universe?
