Podcasts about meteor showers

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with Tony nominee Jeremy Shamos, who will be starring in the newly announced revival of Awake and Sing. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including the experience of starring in the controversial CORPUS CHRISTI, experimenting with comedy with Steve Martin during METEOR SHOWER, being Tony nominated for CLYBOURNE PARK, participating in several readings of HERE WE ARE, making his debut in CYMBELINE, dancing in the all-male FORUM, working with Meryl Streep on ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING, the joys of W.S. Gilbert's ENGAGED, figuring out the timing of GUTENBERG and NOISES OFF, rehearsing with Al Pacino for GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, the potential prequel to IF I FORGET, what he learned from 100 SAINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW, and so much more. Don't miss this candid conversation with a veteran actor.

Three planets are in the west at dusk. Two planets are up in the morning. And there's a meteor shower whose radiant is up mostly in the daytime. But you may be able to detect the meteors with a radio.

You might want to monitor the night sky over the next few weeks: The Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower is on now, and will continue through much of May. There are nine meteor showers each year, and this one is among the better shows.

Guest Host: Terry Slatic Thunderstorms could bring gusty winds, lightning, brief heavy rain, and small hail to parts of the Central Valley Tuesday afternoon. Forecasters say impacts will be spotty but could affect travel and outdoor plans before calmer conditions return later in the week. A report says a political action committee connected to Governor Gavin Newsom purchased thousands of copies of his memoir, boosting its sales figures. The revelation has sparked criticism that the purchases artificially inflated the book’s success, while supporters argue the copies were used for political outreach rather than personal profit. The Lyrid meteor shower is peaking this week, offering skywatchers a chance to see bright, fast meteors streak across the night sky. Astronomers recommend finding a dark spot away from city lights and looking toward the Lyra constellation after midnight for the best viewing experience.

Episode 231 Every April, Earth plows through a stream of ancient comet dust, and for a few nights, the sky answers back with streaks of light we call the Lyrids. They're one of the oldest recorded meteor showers in human history—seen by skywatchers more than 2,600 years ago—and yet every year they still manage to surprise us. Sometimes gentle and subtle… sometimes bursting with bright fireballs that stop you in your tracks. Tonight, we're going to talk about what makes the Lyrid Meteor Shower special, how to observe it, and why it still matters to both casual stargazers and serious observers. My guest is Bob Lunsford, a leading voice in meteor science and observing, whose work has helped countless observers understand what's really happening when we look up and see a shooting star. Whether you're stepping outside for your very first meteor shower or you've spent decades under the night sky, this is one you won't want to miss. I'm Tim Robertson, and this is The Observers Notebook.

INTRO: AP's Lisa Dwyer reporters on two competing events in the night sky this weekend.

A fresh blast of Arctic air will send temperatures tumbling by as much as 60 degrees, with biting winds sending AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures below zero. Snow will accompany the frigid conditions in some areas. Also, the Quadrantid meteor shower reaches its peak just after sunset on Jan. 3, but a nearly full moon could outshine the event this year.

Under perfect conditions, up to 120 meteors per hour could shoot across the night sky this Saturday and Sunday when the Geminids reach their peak. Also, veterinarian Dr. Jennifer Coates writes for The Spruce Pets that not all dogs need winter jackets, but many do. Dogs that benefit the most include small breeds, puppies, senior dogs, and pets with health conditions. Short-haired breeds or any dog in the miniature category may also need an extra layer when temperatures drop. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Astronomers say conditions could make for an especially striking show of the Geminid meteor shower this weekend, if weather permits. The meteors will be visible all over the world, though the Northern Hemisphere will get the best views. Alan Giltinan, Centre Manager at Blackrock Castle Observatory, briefed Rachel on this rare celestial event.

The Geminid meteor shower is set to light up the sky this weekend with up to 120 dazzling meteors per hour. 

The Geminid meteor shower, widely regarded as the biggest and best meteor shower of the year, will peak this Sunday night, December 14th, running into the early hours of Monday. 

Get the essential update on this week's space events with ANU Astrophysicist Dr. Brad Tucker. He outlines the perfect timing and location for witnessing the Geminids meteor shower, one of the year's most reliable displays. Plus, Dr. Tucker provides a detailed analysis of the technical glitch that has caused NASA to lose contact with the MAVEN orbiter, explaining why the decade-old communications relay is so vital to ongoing missions on the surface of Mars.

This week we spoke to author and researcher Jason Quitt. He discusses his out-of-body experiences and how they reshaped his understanding of existence, leading him to explore the connections between ancient texts, astronomy, and the cycles of nature. He demonstrates the significance of celestial bodies in ancient cultures, the symbolism of fertility, and the agency of nature as perceived by ancient civilizations. Quitt emphasizes the importance of the pyramids as celestial clocks and the interconnectedness of symbols across different cultures, suggesting a shared ancient knowledge that transcends time and geography. We discuss the duality of the serpent in various cultures, including its representation in Christianity, and how these ancient stories have been passed down through generations, revealing a shared knowledge across civilizations. A really amazing conversation that hit all the points we love to discuss on the podcast!   You can find more of Jason's work at his website: https://thecrystalsun.com/ If you want to buy the books for the subjects discussed on the show, you can find them on amazon: Gates of the Annunaki https://a.co/d/9ZF3raA Astral Genesis https://a.co/d/bHzsHpc   Jason is also active on X: https://x.com/jason_quitt   Support us through Patreon and get special episodes, early access, and bumper tunes!

From the gravitational effects of the moon to the dynamics of meteor showers and the concept of the Goldilocks Zone, this episode is a treasure trove of astronomical insights.Episode Highlights:- Moon's Gravitational Pull: Listener Ash asks why the moon's gravity affects ocean tides so drastically but not humans. Fred explains the difference in gravitational pull across the Earth, emphasizing that while we do experience slight shifts, our size prevents us from feeling the same tidal effects as the oceans.- Scheduled Observations in Astronomy: Ben's audio question prompts a discussion on whether certain astronomical observations are immune to interruptions. Fred shares insights on time-sensitive observations like occultations, which are crucial for understanding celestial bodies.- Meteor Showers Explained: David and Brian ponder why we experience annual meteor showers and how the Earth interacts with comet debris. Fred clarifies that comets leave trails of dust, and as the Earth passes through these trails, we witness spectacular meteor showers without depleting the debris.- The Goldilocks Zone: Lou wonders if the Goldilocks Zone applies to all life in the universe. Fred discusses its significance for Earth-like life and explores the possibility of life forms existing in extreme conditions, such as those found on Titan, Saturn's moon.For more Space Nuts, including our continuously updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, visit our website. Follow us on social media at SpaceNutsPod on Facebook, X, YouTube Music Music, Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.

  The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight and tomorrow night, August 12th & 13th. I like to use the Perseids as an excuse to create a spacey, ambient mix for stargazing. So here it is. The first track I grabbed for this mix was Jeff Pearce - For The Perseids, from the Gemstones IV compilation. How could I not use that cut in a mix like this. So I decided to look for other tracks with names that would fit and it was fairly easy to find a bunch that worked. Again, how could I resist tunes called "Luminous Dust Trails" and "Night Drifters" and "Comet Tails." Get outside and scan the skies.
