https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dqqw579DOY Paul Hill & Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Dec 9, 2022. 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...   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!

Paul Hill and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. Today we bring you two of the plenary sessions from the British Planetary Science Conference, 2024, hosted by Space Park Leicester and the National Space Centre on June 18-21, 2024.   - Dr. Aprajita Verma of the UK ELT Programme. - Dr. Steven G. Banham Research Fellow in planetary surface processes at the ICL.   The Space Park newsletter reports:  Dr. Jenifer Millard, Managing Editor at Fifth Star Labs, added: “I attended BPSC2024 not as a planetary scientist, but as an astronomer and science communicator, hoping to be inspired and learn beyond my field of expertise. … I'm delighted to say I was not disappointed by the event Space Park Leicester enabled. It was a fantastic few days of learning in a wonderful, encouraging and most importantly safe environment.” The conference was supported by the UK Space Agency, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), Europlanet Society and the Royal Astronomical Society.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBm9bh7-Mio From Aug 26, 2022. As this podcast is from 2 years ago, all the information is somewhat dated…  OK, OK, a lot dated. - Rich NASA TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg Your guide to the inaugural Artemis moon launch! On 29th August, 2022, NASA is launching Artemis 1 to the Moon in a test run before humans follow in 2024+.    This will be the launch of the largest rocket to ever go to space. Larger than the Saturn V that took people to the Moon in 1969-1972. It's going to be quite a spectacle, so find out what NASA has planned and the NASA TV events you can watch to get the best out of this historic occasion.   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!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmxcvbb0clM Ralph Wilkins hosts.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From  Aug 5, 2022. Blue Origin rocket developments seem to have been in development for decades. They've only just got their sub-orbital New Shepard rocket launching and, even now, they aren't launching that often. Their orbital New Glenn rocket keeps getting delayed and might even be obsolete to SpaceX rockets if it ever delivers.   With Elon Musk's SpaceX leading the way in commercial spaceflight and Branson's Virgin Galactic offering an alternative, has Jeff Bezos merely spent a lot of money on Blue Origin that he won't be able to recover?   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!

Engraved upon them will be the essence of humanity. One hundred billion pixels depicting the human genome, the work of masters, and the every day - one pixel for every human that ever lived.

This month we explore the exciting announcements from the European Space Agency as they outline their new missions for the 2030s. LISA, a space based gravitational wave detector and EnVision, a Venus mission that will map the surface and under-surface of that planet in unprecedented detail.  We have the usual skyguide, chat about recent lunar missions and emails from the listeners.

Paul Hill and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.   This episode, it's Jen and a special guest exploring: - the inexplicable Big Ring,  - the first proof connecting supernovae to black holes and neutron stars,  - cyclones on a far-away world,  - dazzling images of Io, and  - the true colour of Neptune.   We also take a deep dive into humanity's efforts to explore the Moon – the failing Peregrine lander and Artemis pushbacks.  There's also a sky guide for the second half of January, and our discussion topic this time involves a most impossible restaurant.    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!

Paul Hill and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. This months interview looks at that stunning imagery that JWST took of the Ring Nebula - that familiar Messier planterary nebula in Lyra and favourite of star parties. This new study has revealed new and unexpected details and once again demonstrated the brilliant science of our golden wonder telescope in space.    Dr. Jeni talks to Dr. Robert Wessen, Research Associate at Cardiff University who has worked on the Ring Nebula (M57) data. He also tells us about surprising new research that astronomers have revealed about the possible origins of the Southern Ring Nebula (NGC 3132). We chat as well about his career and life astronomy. He also exclusively reveals what is going to happen next in this area of study.

This is the machine made over a thousand years ahead of its time! Made in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago and lost in the Aegean Sea. It was so sophisticated that nothing like it would be invented or made for another 1,500 years.   Found in a shipwreck by sponge divers, the Antikythera Mechanism has been compared to a computer and often seen as the most advanced technology the world had seen. Not just for it's time but more advanced than anything we'd see until the 1400s.   Thanks to Jonathon Zellar for suggesting this incredible subject!

Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard solo hosts! Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.   Once a year, astronomers descend upon an unsuspecting UK city in the greatest gathering of astronomically curious minds: the National Astronomy Meeting, otherwise known as NAM (no, not that ‘Nam, though it is quite the battle of the minds). Jen was lucky enough to attend this year and this episode is the first in a series of talks recorded at NAM 2023.  We're delighted to bring you the expertise of none other than Dr. Becky Smethurst of Oxford University (you may know her as Dr Becky on Youtube). In this talk, Dr. Becky teaches us how to grow a supermassive black hole – and it's not as easy as you think!

This month we have a packed show, with stories about the European space agency launching a new space telescope to study The Dark Universe. India going to the moon with Chandrayaan-3, astereroid boulders, a key ingredient for life just 1 billion years into the Universe's history, measuring a crater with highway seismology, hot lava piles on the moon, and a farewell to Ariane 5. We discuss observing meteor showers in our monthly skyguide and we ask the important question- where would you let superman take you in the solar system?

A look back at the greatest distance any human has ever been from Earth! In this episode we take a look at how the 1960s saw NASA and the Russians sending people farther than anyone had ever been before.    From spacewalks to moon landings, how far have humans ever travelled? And what about space probes? Some of those are now leaving the solar system and showing us what interstellar space is like.   But please do help us out by subscribing to the show: https://www.youtube.com/awesomeastronomy   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!
