https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByfigQW-6Mk Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Jan 28, 2022. Taking a look at how over the last 40 years we went from only knowing of the handful of planets in our solar system to knowing of around 5,000 planets littering the galaxy.   How have we discovered new planets? How many are there?  How many stars have planets around them?  Are there star systems with multiple planets like our solar system?  Do we see the diversity of large gassy, small rocky and ringed planets around other stars?  And the big one - are any of them habitable?   Find out in this episode!

Our chat with Dr. Chris North from our live show to ease the boredom of covid lockdowns.  We ask Chris astronomy questions from our listeners: • Why are astronomers so sure that the recent interstellar comet came from outside the solar system • Which is going to be the most exciting telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope or the Square Kilometer Array? • What is the most exciting discovery we can expect from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Square Kilometer Array? • How the James Webb Space Telescope and Square Kilometer Array will work.   Chris North is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Cardiff University and host of the Pythagorean Astronomy podcast at pythagastro.uk. Chris is Director of Recruitment and Admissions and the Head of Public Engagement. Working on public engagement in print and TV, education and data visualization for a range of projects, most notably the Gravity Exploration Institute.   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=tCqg3NIwbHE Hosted by Ralph Wilkins. From Feb 3, 2023. Nuclear powered rockets are about to become a reality opening up space travel for humanity. Ever since the dawn of nuclear weapons and reactors, advanced militaries and space agencies have dreamt of powering rockets with long lasting energy efficient nuclear fuel.   The Soviet Union and United States ran a number of programs to develop nuclear propulsive power for human spaceflight. Deep space robotic spacecraft, lunar and Mars rovers have all been powered by 'nuclear batteries' in the past - as have experiments that the Apollo astronauts took to the moon - but no nuclear rocket engines have been tested, let alone flown, in space. That is about to change with a NASA/DARPA collaboration to do just that in the hope of cutting the time to travel to Mars by more than half.   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=LieXZEdaDN8 Ralph Wilkins hosts. Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Dec 30, 2022. We say farewell to NASA's Insight mission on Mars. This lander spent 6 years on the Martian surface examining the interior of the planet. It discovered that Mars is not geologically dead as we previously thought. It discovered that Mars has a larger core than we thought, its magnetic field was stronger than we thought and the crust is thinner. And in typical NASA fashion, it made us all sad to think of the little fella dying  in the cold Martian dirt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYLtwPRhnU8 Ralph Wilkins hosts.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Oct 21, 2022. This show is all about Betelgeuse and supernovas (supernovae? Let's call the whole thing off). What will happen to Betelgeuse? How bright will it get? When will it go supernova? Will we get to see it? How do we predict supernovas?   A new study points to a rapid dimming (like the one we saw in 2019!) just before it obliterates itself in a violent release of energy that will make it brighter than anything else in the night sky.   But please do help us out by subscribing to the channel, if you don't already: https://www.youtube.com/awesomeastron...   And if you want to hear more from us we have 2 podcast episodes each month: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast...  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Yr24VA...

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!

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.

In this podcast extra for Awesome Astronomy in August 2024, we bring you two of the Plenary Sessions from the British Planetary Science Conference 2024, hosted by Space Park Leicester and the National Space Center. The first, from Dr Aprajita Verma, discusses the upcoming Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), and the second, from Dr Steve Banham, gives you a new view of Mars Evolution, based on Curiosity's work at Gale Crater. Keep an ear out for activities to get involved with!

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!

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!
