Podcasts about Hygiea

With some of the foundational myths behind us, let's go on a little tour of our Solar System and see just how Greco-Roman mythology inspired the names of our planets and moons! Along the way, we have time for plenty of tangents on planetary exploration, Planet X and Indo-Europeans! Sources for this episode: Bond, P. (2022), Solar Surveyors: Observing the Sun from Space.

With a diameter of 434 kilometres and a mass estimated to be 3% of the total mass of the belt, it is the fourth-largest asteroid in the Solar System by both volume and mass. Annibale de Gasparis discovered Hygiea on 12 April 1849.  Named after the Greek Goddess of Health. On Aquarius Capricornus Border. 13th & 14th - Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks in the early morning hours on these mornings 15th - Old Moon Challenge - You'll see a sliver of a Moon in morning twilight. 16th -  New Moon / Young Crescent Moon possible in evening twilight 18th - Mars 2-degrees below and right of Moon in evening twilight 24th - First Quarter - Lunar Straight Wall visible - Moon Occults ANtares this evening What is an Occultation? From here the Moon Passes in front of Antares in the Daylight sky just a few minutes before Sunset, around 8pm, however, the Moon is readily visible in the daytime around 1st quarter and with the Moon as a guide you might find Antares. We can easily see the reveal at about 9pm when it's dark. 26th - Asteroid 8 Flora at opposition m= 8.3 Discovered by J. R. Hind on 18 October 1847. The name Flora was proposed by John Herschel, from Flora, the Latin goddess of flowers and gardens.

Asteroids are fascinating, but in truth I don't use them much in my own astrological practice. It's not because I don't “believe in them” or anything like that – their effects are quite demonstrably real. The reason is simply that the “big” planets keep me busy enough. In all professional astrological work, there is always a balance that needs to be struck between the number of points an astrologer will have time to discuss in a counseling session versus having mercy on the client's attention span and energy. It simply takes me so long to do justice to the message of the major planets that I've rarely had time to add asteroids to the menu. Then there's the minor problem of there being about a million of them! Last I heard, something like 14,000 of them even had names. To avoid being overwhelmed, many astrologers who use asteroids limit themselves to what are often (erroneously) called “the big four.” They're not actually the biggest, they're just the first four to be discovered – Vesta, Ceres, Juno, and Pallas. Hygiea is actually more massive than Juno by far and, if size matters, it should be in that quartet instead. Juno just happened to be the third one to be discovered, but it only squeaks into the Top Twenty as “heavyweights” go.   The more massive an asteroid is, the more powerful it is astrologically? That tempting notion makes a degree of intuitive sense, but I doubt it's true. That's because astrological experience teaches us otherwise. Pluto's mass, for example, is relatively tiny – only about one 400th the mass of Earth – and vastly less than Jupiter or Saturn. Yet woe betide the astrologer who ignores Pluto! 

Have you ever wanted to work with a goddess or connect with a matron deity for wisdom, guidance, and support? To be honest, I never really did and never really worked with goddesses in my own practice until I discovered that the asteroid, Diana, is exactly conjunct my moon! There are hundreds, (maybe thousands), of asteroids named after goddesses that are Greek, Roman, Norse, Celtic, Germanic, Sumerian, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese, Aztec, Inuit, and probably other cultures too! Finding goddess asteroids in your chart, especially those that are very close to your sun, moon, or personal planets, is a powerful way to discover goddesses who might be open to working with you - and in fact, who may have even been calling out to work with you since you were born. In this episode, I'm diving into how to explore the spectrum of the divine feminine in your own birth chart and in your own being, how to find goddess asteroids in your chart, and what they can mean for you.  --- To find goddess asteroids in your chart, go to www.astro.com and enter your birth information. Then click on Extended Chart Selection, scroll down to the bottom, and enter the asteroid codes you want to see into the "Additional Objects" dialogue box or choose them from the alphabetical listing. Here are the asteroid codes for some popular goddesses you might want to find in your chart:  1 - Ceres 2 - Pallas 3 - Juno 4 - Vesta / 34 - Hestia 10 - Hygiea 14 - Psyche 16 - Fortuna 19 - Proserpina / 399 - Persephone 33 - Isis 76 - Freia 78 - Diana / 105 - Artemis 100 - Hekate 318 - Magdalena 580 - Selene 4227 - Kaali 5381 - Sekhmet 7088 - Ishtar --- Want professional, intuitive insight on the goddess asteroids in your chart?

In the latest episode, I chat with Saiman Shetty, an engineer turned product manager from the Silicon Valley, who has worked at Tesla, Lyft, and Nuro. In his time in the US, Saiman has co-founded two startups, the first one being Hygiea, during his time at college. Hygiea is a cool hardware/ software product that monitors garbage levels in trash cans. You could set it up in your trash cans, and it immediately tracks and relays whether the bin is full or not, predicts how much time is left before it needs emptying, helping enterprises manage their time and resources better. Hygiea was a huge hit among the peers and went on to win many awards and accolades - and was one of the four winners out of the 128 startups that participated in Silicon Valley Business Competition at San Jose State University and received a one-and-a-half-year incubation offer from Plug and Play, one of the most respected incubators and investment firms in Silicon Valley which has incubated Google, PayPal, Dropbox and many other successful companies in their early stages. Currently, Saiman is working as a technical program manager at Nuro, the robotics company that builds self-driving cars for delivering goods and is also building his second start-up called resumepuppy.com an online tool to help build resumes. Given Saiman's experience, this was a very thoughtful and truly wide-ranging conversation - we touch upon the mistakes he made as a founder, his experience in working at world-class companies, and how the company culture differs at these places and many more topics.

It was another solo live QA this week and I did my best to answer as many audience questions as I could do, closing in on 60 questions during the hour. Needless to say it was a wide-ranging conversation with questions about where I think rovers should go, what do I think about time travel, and whether we should do more SETI or build more space telescopes.

Astrophiz 94: Amanda Wherrett: ANU Siding Spring Observatory This wonderful episode features Amanda Wherrett from the Australian National University and who conducts wonderful tours of the Siding Spring Observatory in remote New South Wales in Australia. Amanda shares with us the absolute best observing tip you will hear in your whole life, and she tells us all about this stunning mountain and it’s remarkable array of observatories, research telescopes and instruments and the astronomers who work there. Listen: https://soundcloud.com/astrophiz/astrophiz-94-amanda-wherrett-anu-siding-spring-observatory In the sky for observers and astrophotographers: Our regular feature ‘What’s Up Doc’ is with Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave. He previews the excellent planet viewing opportunities over the next two weeks, and in ‘Ian’s Tangent’ he tells us about Asteroid Hygiea, the 4th largest body and possibly soon to be promoted to ‘dwarf planet’ in the asteroid belt. Ian explains our classification criteria for dwarf planets and upcoming viewing opportunities for Hygiea and Vesta. In the News: .1. Dr AG Suvorov, University of Tubingen in Germany in ArXiv gives more hints about the mechanism for repeating FRBs. No definitive answers yet, but definitely edging closer. Watch this space. .2. “Nasa's Voyager 2 sends back its first message from interstellar space” .3. A final word: If anyone has an answer to the current debate about the Hubble Constant, please let me know. Next Episodes: Our very next episode is a fabulous interview with Steve Olney, the amateur radio astronomer who captured the 2019 Vela Glitch in radio frequencies as it happened, and who we talked about in Episode 93 with Dr Jim Palfreyman. This is Citizen Science writ large and another great episode to look forward to. Following Steve, you can look forward to our first ‘Are We Alone’ feature episode with Professor Geraint Lewis, and then we take a well-earned summer holiday break over the festive season. In the New Year, we will talk with Dr Belinda Nicholson over in the UK, Wael Farah on his use of AI to capture FRB signals from MOST in real time, and we have lined up alien communication specialist researcher Daniel Oberhaus, who is the author of his new book ‘Extraterrestrial Languages’. And then we have our milestone 100th episode and we are thrilled to confirm Dr Vanessa Moss will be our guest for this special episode.

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips and John Wildridge produce. The Discussion: Before we start the show proper, we discuss Jeni’s encounter with Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, her new research paper undergoing a painfully slow peer review and we take a look at Chris Lintott’s book, The Crowd and the Cosmos: Adventures in the Zooniverse. Then it’s over to the listeners for a few emails suggesting cooler names for the phenomenon of the Pair Instability Supernova. The News: Rounding up the astronomy news this month we have: - An enigmatic radio burst opens up a new method of probing the universe. - Hubble takes a look at interstellar comet. - Hygiea becomes the latest candidate to be recategorized as a dwarf planet. - Spiral galaxies give more clues to discredit the MOND theory of dark matter. - Venus going pop and perhaps a 2 billion window of habitability. - More confusion over the age of Saturn’s rings. The big news story: perhaps heavier elements in the Universe are not only forged in supernovae, but also from neutron star mergers The Sky Guide: Covering the solar system and deep sky objects on offer to amateur astronomers in November: Paul: A round up of the planets available to northern hemisphere observers in November, a tour of the comets currently in our skies and Vest at opposition. In the deep sky, Paul recommends a few overlooked objects in Cetus and Sculptor. Jen: The upcoming Transit of Mercury on 11/12th November. Ralph: 3 lunar/planetary conjunctions and a couple of meteor showers. Then further afield, the Orion Nebula Main Object: The innermost planet, Mercury Q&A: What actually is the solar wind? From our good friend Andrew Osborne. http://www.awesomeastronomy.com Bio: Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

What makes a dwarf planet not a planet? What are the rules governing the word planet? Just how many dwarf planets are out there in our solar system? How can we use telescopes and modelling to add or subtract a dwarf planet from that list? We've talked about Goldilocks zone exoplanets, but what about their ability to withstand space weather? What role does a star's magnetic field play in protecting a planet from damaging radiation? Does space weather need to be added to the exoplanet Goldilocks zone? References: P. Vernazza, L. Jorda, P.

Un equipo internacional de astrónomos acaba de descubrir que el asteroide Hygiea debería clasificarse como planeta enano

The Discussion: Before we start the show proper, we discuss Jeni’s encounter with Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, her new research paper undergoing a painfully slow peer review and we take a look at Chris Lintott’s book, The Crowd and the Cosmos: Adventures in the Zooniverse. Then it’s over to the listeners for a few emails suggesting cooler names for the phenomenon of the Pair Instability Supernova. The News: Rounding up the astronomy news this month we have: An enigmatic radio burst opens up a new method of probing the universe Hubble takes a look at interstellar comet Hygiea becomes the latest candidate to be recategorized as a dwarf planet Spiral galaxies give more clues to discredit the MOND theory of dark matter Venus going pop and perhaps a 2 billion window of habitability More confusion over the age of Saturn’s rings The big news story: perhaps heavier elements in the Universe are not only forged in supernovae, but also from neutron star mergers. The Sky Guide: Covering the solar system and deep sky objects on offer to amateur astronomers in November: Paul: A round up of the planets available to northern hemisphere observers in November, a tour of the comets currently in our skies and Vest at opposition. In the deep sky, Paul recommends a few overlooked objects in Cetus and Sculptor. Jen: The upcoming Transit of Mercury on 11/12th November. Ralph: 3 lunar/planetary conjunctions and a couple of meteor showers. Then further afield, the Orion Nebula  Main Object: The innermost planet, Mercury Q&A: What actually is the solar wind? From our good friend Andrew Osborne.

Astronomers using the SPHERE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope have revealed that the asteroid Hygiea could be a dwarf planet. Find out more about this fascinating object in the new ESOcast Light.

Phoenix, Arizona has a goal of achieving a 40% waste diversion rate by 2020 and it's innovations like Surya Iyer’s that will help the city get there. Surya developed Smart-Sort, an IOT based sorting machine that efficiently sorts recyclable waste at source to improve diversion rates for institutions. Smart-Sort eventually merged with Hygiea, another ASU startup that similarly uses IOT to make waste management more manageable. Hear Surya’s story on this week’s episode of the Innovation Happens Podcast!Have you downloaded the Sun Devil Rewards app?

A two-person team of Carnegie's Scott Sheppard and Chadwick Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory has discovered a new active asteroid, called 62412, in the Solar System's main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is the first comet-like object seen in the Hygiea family of asteroids. Active asteroids are a newly recognized phenomenon. 62412 is only the 13th known active asteroid in the main asteroid belt. Sheppard and Trujillo estimate that there are likely about 100 of them in the main asteroid belt, based on their discovery.
