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 January & February 2024. Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Greg Leonard was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Aquarius with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona when he discovered his 19th comet. Turns out Greg's new comet is a member of a family of comets orbiting the Sun like a string of cosmic pearls across the vast distances in our solar system. - In the past two decades astronomers have discovered that galaxies are not randomly distributed in space but rather occur along filaments of mass with huge empty voids between them. How objects and structures in the early Universe became nearby clusters of galaxies and third generation stars like our Sun is an evolving picture we are beginning to understand.   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!

What were the coolest science and sci-fi events in the LIUniverse in 2024, and what's in store for us in 2025? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome three members of our production team: Leslie Mullen, our Executive Producer making her first on air appearance, Jon Barnes, our Editor, and Stacey Severn, our Social Media/Patreon Community Director, both of whom are familiar to longtime fans. But first, as always, we start with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the latest development in the dispute that astrophysicists call the “Hubble Tension.” Over the past 20 years, the two different methods of measuring the Hubble Constant, which is used to calculate the rate of universal expansion, have led to two different conclusions. Leslie points out that the universe isn't confused, we are, leading to a conversation about why accurate measurements matter in helping us expand our limited understanding. Then we begin our look back at the year in astronomy – or rather, our look up. Stacey takes us on a tour, from a Geminid meteor hitting the moon, to the spectacular aurora borealis visible in the Northeastern US, to Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, to, of course, the Great North American Eclipse. The team share their viewing experiences while Chuck explains the impact of solar max on both the eclipse and the auroras. Next, Jon Barnes is back to talk about “The Three-Body Problem” science fiction series on Netflix. He asks Chuck to explain what we really know about cosmic particles (aka cosmic rays), because, in the series, the aliens use sophons, a supercomputer combined with a photon, to communicate across long distances at or near the speed of light. You'll also hear about the recent detection of a surprisingly large number of very high energy cosmic rays that are hitting us right now. Our fan question comes from Pshemo on Patreon and concerns an experiment to measure the dynamics of a local system relative to spacetime by using light as a way of gauging the background nature of the universe. And if you think that sounds pretty geeky, it's nothing compared to the conversation between Allen, Chuck and Leslie that ensues, encompassing Einstein, the Michelson–Morley experiment, gravitational waves, LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and LISA. There's plenty more in this episode, including a discussion of the recent wave of drone sightings, their similarity to the past UFO sightings, and the likelihood that they are all explained by less exotic causes than aliens. Moving on to the coolest “identified flying objects” of 2024, Leslie tells us about the Europa Clipper, which launched in October. It will reach orbit around Jupiter in 6 years in order to search for alien life in the subsurface oceans of its icy moon Europa. Chuck reminds us all that NASA's Parker Solar Probe will make its closest approach to our Sun on Christmas Eve 2024. Finally, it's time for the team to share what they're looking forward to in 2025. Jon is psyched for “Mickey 17,” a film by director Bong Joon-ho about a clone on a space colony. Allen is excited for Rocket Lab's Venus Life Finder, the first private interplanetary space probe, which launches in January to search for organic compounds within Venus' atmosphere. Stacey is looking forward to Axiom Space's fourth mission to the ISS in 2025, an international trip to conduct scientific experiments commanded again by Peggy Whitson. Leslie is most excited for the discovery nobody is expecting, whatever that may be. And what is Chuck looking forward to most in 2025? The long-awaited start of scientific operations at the Vera Rubin Observatory, which will take a full picture of the sky every 30 seconds for ten years and deliver an unprecedented level of data for astronomers to feast upon!

Astronomy- The Astrophiz podcast with Dr Ian ‘Astroblog' Musgrave Moon Phases for November: 1 November - New Moon - ideal for stargazing 9 November - 1st Quarter Moon 14 November - Moon at perigee (closest) 16 November - Full Moon 23 November - Last Quarter Moon, also ideal for stargazing 26 November - Moon at apogee (furthest) Most of the planetary action is in the evening skies and late evening skies. Evening Skies: Venus is very high in early evening skies in the west Mercury is at its best in the evening twilight this month, near thin crescent moon on 3 November. Saturn is still quite good in the west this month. Jupiter is visible rising in the east in the late evening skies Mars enters evening skies later in the month, but still at its best in the mornings. In mid-month, Mercury, Venus and Saturn will be seen close to each other an hour after sunset. Uranus is in opposition at Mag5.7 so is actually an unaided eye object under dark sky conditions. Easy to find about 2 degrees above the Pleiades Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is climbing higher and fading, but for the start of the month is still a nice binocular object in evening western skies before fading from most binoculars. The Leonid meteor shower is a waste of time this year due to a blazing moon. Morning Skies Mars is higher in the twilight in the East Jupiter is best in the mornings right now, as it slowly moves back to Aldabaran. Astrophotography Venus is in the heart of the galaxy, but you'll need dark skies to have the long exposures needed to bring out the Milky Way's heart. Comet C/2024 S1 is a possible (but not probable) ‘Lovejoy-type object' to keep an eye out for.

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E193Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your trusted source for the latest space and Astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna, and today we have an exciting lineup of stories, from the edge of our solar system to surprising discoveries closer to home.Highlights:- Voyager 1 Communication Challenges: NASA's Voyager 1, 15 billion miles from Earth, recently faced communication issues due to a fault protection system trigger. After switching to a backup S band system, NASA successfully reestablished contact, showcasing the spacecraft's resilience and the challenges of maintaining aging technology in interstellar space.- China's Tiangong Space Station Mission: A new crew of three astronauts launched to China's Tiangong Space Station, marking another milestone in the nation's space exploration. Notably, Wang Haozi joins as China's only female spaceflight engineer, contributing to lunar soil experiments that align with China's lunar ambitions.- Potential Ocean on Uranus's Moon Miranda: Research suggests Miranda might host a subsurface ocean beneath its chaotic surface. This discovery positions Miranda among other potential ocean worlds, expanding our understanding of liquid water in the solar system.- Mars's Extended Magnetic Field: New findings from Harvard suggest Mars's protective magnetic field lasted longer than previously thought. This extended timeline implies more favorable conditions for life to have developed, challenging assumptions about Mars's early history.- Terraforming Mars for Tree Growth: Research from Warsaw University explores the conditions needed to grow trees on Mars, focusing on the Hellas Basin for its potential to support Martian forests, bringing us closer to transforming the Red Planet.- Comet C 2024 S1 Atlas Disintegration: The comet, initially promising a bright Halloween display, disintegrated after a close solar encounter. Its demise offers insights into comet compositions and the extreme conditions near the Sun.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Happy Halloween! In this special episode of The LIUniverse, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome back archaeology expert Hannah Liu, MEd to bring a scientific eye to the holiday and some of its most familiar denizens: witches, werewolves, zombies, black cats and even the Great Galactic Ghoul! As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). You'll learn all about this visitor from the Oort Cloud, including how we know where it came from. Hannah talks about how ancient people responded to the arrival of a comet, including how leaders have used them for their own political purposes, and Charles brings up the inclusion of Halley's Comet on the Bayeux tapestry. Then it's time for Chuck to introduce our theme for this special episode: how the superstitions of the past interact with the mysteries of science. You'll hear from Hannah about the history of Halloween and its beginning as the Druidic celebration of Sawen (or Samhain) marking the end of the harvest season. Jumping ahead in history, we look at the Salem Witch Trials of the 17th Century, and the “science” that was used to condemn innocent young women to death for behaviors the powers that be disapproved of. You'll also get serious answers to spooky questions like “Do full moons affect behavior?” (We're talking the behavior of moths, sea turtles and humans, rather than werewolves, although we do actually get into the possible origins of the wolfman myth as embodied in the Greek myth of Zeus and Lycaon with a minor digression into D&D and legendary DJ Wolfman Jack.) After witches and werewolves, what else could we talk about next than zombies? In this case, natural zombie spiders created by the sting of a parasitic Tarantula Hawk wasp, or zombie ants that have been infected by the fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. And yes, somehow The Walking Dead and The Last of Us shamble into the discussion, although regarding the latter, Allen explains why cordyceps probably couldn't survive in a human host. Next up, we look at the connection between black cats and the holiday. Hannah brings up the traditions of cats as “Witch's Familiars” and shapeshifters, and Chuck reminds us of the moment when we saw a cat transform into Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. You'll hear about how STS-13, which was slated to be the thirteenth mission of the Space Shuttle, was renamed STS-41-C, in an attempt to avoid any superstition or reminder of the ill-fated Apollo 13. There was an alternate mission patch that featured an illustration of the shuttle landing under a giant black cat, referencing the mission's original designation, STS-13; and that the day the mission returned was April 13, 1984, which was a Friday the 13th. Speaking of space, Hannah asks Chuck about the concept of “The Great Galactic Ghoul,” the fictitious space monster blamed for the failure of nearly every probe sent to Mars by the Soviet Union, Japan, and even NASA between 1988 and 1999. Out of 10 missions, only 2 US probes landed successfully on the Red Planet. Since then, while the Ghoul did claim a few more victims including two missions by the UK, it seems to have gone into hiding, since the US has had multiple successful missions, as has China with their Tianwen lander and Zhurong rover, India, Russia, the European Space Agency, and the UAE. Finally, to end our special HaLIUween episode, Chuck brings up Albert Einstein's term, “Spooky Action at a Distance,” which he coined derisively to describe the physics concept known as quantum entanglement that he dismissed but has since been proven to exist.

A rare celestial object has made an appearance in the skies over New Zealand. Comet C/2023 A3 hasn't been seen in our skies in for 80,000 years, and with the length of its orbital period, it's not going to be seen again by anyone alive today. Kevin Milne caught sight of A3 passing by on Wednesday, and it got him thinking about the last time it passed by, and the next time it'll show up.

Chris and Elecia chat about simulated robots, portents in the sky, the futility of making plans, and grad school.  A problem with mics led us to delay the show with Shimon Schoken from Nand2Tetris (co-author of Elements of The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles). Look for that later in the year. Elecia is playing with Webots, a robotics physics simulator. Simpler than ROS's Gazebo, it also can run in an online mode where you can run it on a browser, selecting between many different robots.  Chris talked about processing his photos of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) using PixInsight and Siril. Then we talked about grad school (including Georgia Tech's reasonably affordable CS Master's Degree). Tony sent in this insect detector: Mothbox.

Comets are small objects in our solar system made of ice and dust. As they get closer to the Sun in their orbits, the ices turn into gas and give off a glow that can be seen in telescopes. With luck, that glow brightens to the point where a comet can be seen with the unaided eye. Some, like Halley's Comet, return on a regular schedule. Others are more one and done, breaking apart as they near the Sun or getting a gravity assist to leave our solar system. And every year, astronomers hope for the "comet of the century" -- a rare but visible comet that provides a show with a glorious coma and tail. This October, the observing community hopes that not just one but TWO recently discovered comets will put on that show. This week, Beth Johnson is joined by Dr. Ariel Graykowski, the Cometary Activity Lead for the SETI Institute and Unistellar citizen science project, to chat about the search for comets and the hope that either Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS or C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) will soon be visible to the unaided eye. (Recorded 3 October 2024.)

A team at The University of Oxford is using tiny radar chips to track bee movements, aiming to help declining insect and bird populations. The Biotracks technology uses harmonic radar tags attached to bees with a drone receiver to improve understanding of pollinator behaviour. The technology can track insect activity from a few meters to an entire field, allowing scientists to better understand the impact of insect pollination on plant and animal populations. Also, Singapore's Science Centre Observatory is hosting a virtual viewing session on October 17 to catch a rare comet, Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas). The comet is expected to be most visible in the western part of the island from October 11 to October 22 with minimal light pollution.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Comets are some of the most beautiful objects in the cosmos – balls of ice and rock with tails that can stretch for millions of miles. But they’re also some of the most fickle objects in the cosmos – they don’t always meet expectations. And some fall apart – vaporized by the Sun. All of that is a preamble to the story of Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas. Over the next few days, it might be visible through binoculars in the dawn sky, mainly from more southerly latitudes. And it could shine even brighter in the evening sky next month. Because we record our programs in advance, though, we can’t tell you how closely it’s matching the forecasts. The comet was discovered last year. And early predictions called for it eventually to shine as brightly as Venus, which is climbing into view as the “evening star.” It’s no longer expected to get that bright. But it still could become bright enough to see with the eye alone. The comet will pass closest to the Sun late this month, and closest to Earth next month – about 44 million miles away. Now, the comet is passing through the constellation Sextans. That makes it a better target for skywatchers in the southern hemisphere. It’ll be easier to see from the northern hemisphere in the latter half of October, when it’ll climb fairly high at nightfall. So keep your eyes open – and your fingers crossed – for a good showing from a comet. Script by Damond Benningfield

Given the climate change Earth is experiencing it is hard to predict the state of our planet and humanity when Comet Fuls returns in 7,500 AD. - In the fictional Star Trek series, Vulcan, Spock's home planet was imagined to orbit the A component of the triple star system 40 Eridani [Eri-dani ]. Recently astronomers using the Dharma Planet Survey 50 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona have discovered that there is indeed an actual planet, named HD26965 b, with mass of 8.5 times that of Earth orbiting the star 40 Eridani A once every 42.38 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!

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 Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Greg Leonard knew he had bagged his third comet when he spotted an unknown fuzzy object with a broad tail moving through the constellation of Pisces. Eventually when P/2018 L5 (Leonard) looses its volatile materials Comet Leonard will become one of the countless millions of main belt asteroids circling our Sun. - Comet C/2018 M1 (Catalina) is eternal in the sense that it will likely wander the vast space between the stars in our Milky Way Galaxy until the end of time.   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!

Two wonderful milestones for our podcast this week: 5000 downloads and 100th episode published! So exciting for our project and deepest thanks to all of you who are listening, sharing and breathing with us.A few cosmic occurrences this week have inspired our Journey of New Light: Occult of Mars by the waxing gibbous moon Jan 30 and Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). A bright Green comet near Big Dipper and Camelopardalis (the camel), whose last appearance in our vicinity was 50,000 years ago. And the comet comes into the solar system from above out of the Oort Cloud, rather than in alignment with the orbit of the planets. Links below for more info.It's also the Celtic Festival of Imbolc tonight and tomorrow. This marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.We use these cosmic and celestial markers as a bouncing off place to discover expansiveness and openness in our breath and our consciousness. Breathing into the back body, we open ourselves. Launching out into our imagination, we use our powers of subtle sensing to notice anything we can about the LIGHT of this new time. Even if you feel you are imagining this, it is an exercise in freedom and fluidity. Let yourself roam the cosmos with your expanded consciousness. We come to understand that Awe and Wonder are ways to use our conscious awareness to enrich our lives, and to create a steady stream of new thoughts, new awareness, new openness to all that is possible in this rich exciting time.https://www.theguardian.com/news/2023/jan/12/rebecca-solnit-climate-crisis-popular-imagination-why-we-need-new-storieshttps://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=comet+c/2022+e3+(ztf)&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8https://earthsky.org/tonight/moon-occults-mars-january-30-31-2023/https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/advice/comet-c-2022-e3-ztf/'Sacred Ceremony' music by Sanaya Roman (orindaben.com)Podcast production by iRonick Media (ironickmedia.com)Disclaimer:Breath exercises are not intended to diagnose or treat illness.

Do you know what a Black Hole sounds like? Have you heard about the salamander that can fly or the goldfish that can drive? We also discuss the effect of social media and screen time on emotional health, and how the COVID pandemic is different than the Bubonic Plague and Cholera pandemics in terms of their effect on the income gap between rich and poor. How does increased school spending affect student achievement? Are pre-Kindergarten programs really worth it? All in Part-2 of our 'Year in Science' show. Finally, Scott Miller tells us how to see Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), Mars, Venus, Jupiter, a planetary conjunction, constellations, and the Orion Nebula. ‘Bench Talk: The Week in Science' is a weekly program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.
