Podcast appearances and mentions of Orion Nebula

As the moon wanes and rises later each night, the early evening skies are dark again, allowing us to see the Great Orion Nebula.

To the ancient Maya, the Orion Nebula was the fire of creation. The bright stars around it were the hearthstones that held the fire. And they were on the right track. The nebula is a giant stellar nursery. It’s given birth to thousands of stars, with more still taking shape. And the “hearthstone” stars are related to the fire. The whole group is part of a massive complex of young stars, plus lingering clouds of gas and dust. It’s known as the Orion O-B-1 association. The letters refer to the group’s many class O and B stars, which are much bigger and brighter than the Sun. Such stars live for millions of years, versus billions of years for the Sun. The association consists of four big clumps. One of them is north of Orion’s Belt. Another includes the belt. The others are south of the belt, with the Orion Nebula at the end of the chain. The stars in the northern group are the oldest. They’ve blown away the remaining gas, so no new stars are being born there. The Orion Nebula is in the youngest group. Some of its stars are less than a million years old. The stars of the belt are between those ages; more about the belt tomorrow. The association also includes thousands of smaller, fainter stars. But the O and B stars are the real standouts. Orion is in the east and southeast at nightfall. Its belt extends upward from the horizon. The Orion Nebula looks like a fuzzy star to the right of the belt – a fiery hearth of creation. Script by Damond Benningfield

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 02Liquid Water on Mars: A Mirage?A new study casts doubt on the existence of liquid water on Mars, challenging previous assumptions about recurring slope lineae and the potential for brine pools. Researchers argue that the Martian environment's low temperature and pressure make it unlikely for liquid water to exist, even in the form of salty brines. The findings question the habitability of the Red Planet by Earth standards.New Asteroids DiscoveredNASA's Webb Space Telescope has identified a new population of small main belt asteroids between Mars and Jupiter.

Stars aren’t always good neighbors. They can drag away planets from other stars. In some cases, they grab the planets for themselves. In others, they fling the planets away, to wander through space alone. And they might even fling away two or more planets, which then move through space together as “Jumbos” – Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects. Astronomers first reported these odd pairings a year ago. Webb Space Telescope found them in the Trapezium – a cluster of young stars in the Orion Nebula. The nebula has given birth to a couple of thousand stars, all of which are no more than a couple of million years old. And the stars are tightly packed, so close encounters between them are common. During those encounters, one star can pull planets away from another. In fact, Webb revealed more than 500 giant planets that aren’t orbiting any star. About one-tenth of the planets are in binaries – the Jumbos. A study a few months ago said that, if two planets in a star system are aligned in just the right way, a passing star could pull away both of them. But the planets would stay together – zipping through a cluster of young stars and stolen planets. The Orion Nebula is visible to the unaided eye. It looks like a faint, fuzzy star – energized by the light of several brilliant stars in the Trapezium. The nebula climbs into good view after midnight. It stands high in the south-southwest at dawn, below the stars of Orion’s Belt. Script by Damond Benningfield

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 78, where we delve into the latest discoveries and missions in the vast expanse of space.First, the European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope has discovered seven more rogue planets in the darkness of interstellar space. These gas giants, each with at least four times the mass of Jupiter, were detected in the direction of the Orion Nebula. The study also confirmed the existence of dozens of other previously detected rogue planets, including four binaries. These lonely worlds, flung out of their original star systems, wander unbound through space, presenting a fascinating prospect for future research.Next, mission managers have announced that the European Space Agency's upcoming Hera mission will utilize a Mars flyby next March to study the Martian moon Demos. This maneuver will provide the necessary velocity to reach the Didymos binary asteroid system. Hera, together with cubesats Juventus and Milani, will closely examine the impact of NASA's DART spacecraft on Dimorphos, gathering essential data on its composition and structure.Finally, NASA's Voyager 1 is back, returning science data from all four of its instruments after overcoming a major technical failure. The spacecraft, the most distant man-made object in existence, had lost normal communications but is now once again providing valuable insights into interstellar space.Follow our cosmic conversations on X @stuartgary, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

What explanations have astronomers come up with to explain the recent mysterious discovery of JuMBOs in the Orion Nebula?  Why so many? How did they form? Why so many in pairs? Why did the form in the Orion Nebula? Here on part two we discuss some possible "naturalistic" hypotheses but conclude that no matter what technical explanation astronomers might offer, we believe these wonderful little orbs are just a small part of how the heavens declare the glory of God and show forth His marvelous handiwork.

The "Standard Model" of particle physics is science's attempt to explain the basic, fundamental building blocks of the universe. In many ways, the Standard Model has accurately predicted many groundbreaking discoveries at the subatomic levels. But for everything the Standard Model has predicted and described, there are a great many things for which it cannot account. Never in a million years could anyone look at the intricacies of the atom and think that from this tiny Lego-block-like structure things like giant sequoia redwoods, or blue whales, or even enormous variegated swirling arms of stars in galaxies would come about! And the mysteries just continue to deepen! Last October, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered a plethora of mysterious objects in the Orion Nebula, things for which there were really no classification schemes. Not stars, not planets, not asteroids, moons, comets, or brown dwarfs. What exactly was discovered, then? Haha! Think we would tell you before you listened to the episode? Come and see!

Nestled within the Orion Nebula, which itself is a part of the larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, the cluster is a vivid laboratory for the study of young stars and their development. This cluster is relatively close to Earth, situated approximately 1,300 light-years away, in the constellation of Orion, making it an accessible and invaluable resource for astronomers.

Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets around other stars. But now, for the first time, they have discovered binary planets. These were discovered by James Webb Space Telescope in the Orion nebula. We still don't know how they were formed, but this may point to the existence of many planets in between stars. Join astrophysicist Salman Hameed for a conversation about this discovery in this episode of Kainaati Gup Shup.

“Tadpoles” swim through the Orion Nebula, a giant stellar nursery more than 1300 light-years from Earth. Like tadpoles, they're not yet fully mature. Also like tadpoles, not all of them will survive their hostile environment. The tadpoles are known as protoplanetary disks – proplyds for short. They're giant “cocoons” of gas and dust. Each one envelops a central star that's still being born. And some of them may give birth to planets. The proplyds look like tadpoles because they're being sculpted by the radiation of nearby stars. The stars are exceptionally hot and bright. They produce a lot of ultraviolet radiation. The UV acts like a blowtorch, blasting the proplyds. The side of a proplyd that faces the stars is hot and bright, so it forms the “head” of the tadpole. The “tail” is formed by gas flowing away from it. The proplyds are quite young – no more than a couple of million years old. Their central stars are still taking shape. Many of them shoot out “jets” of hot gas from their poles that are billions of miles long. A disk of cooler gas and dust may surround the infant star. If it survives the blowtorch, the disk may give birth to planets – worlds born from the remains of stellar tadpoles. The Orion Nebula is visible to the unaided eye. It looks like a wide, fuzzy star in Orion's Sword. Orion is in the east and southeast at nightfall, with the sword to the right of its three-star belt.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

One of the most remarkable sights in the night sky is M42, the Orion Nebula. It looks like a hazy patch of light in Orion's Sword, which is to the right of his three-star belt in early evening. The nebula is one of the most-distant objects that's visible to the eye alone – more than 1300 light-years away. It's also one of the biggest – a couple of dozen light-years across. What's really remarkable, though, is the nebula's identity. It's a nursery that's given birth to thousands of stars, with thousands more being born today. And all of that activity has taken place over just a few million years. M42 contains huge clouds of gas and dust. Clumps of this material collapse to form stars. The most massive stars form a cluster known as the Trapezium. These stars are much bigger, brighter, and heavier than the Sun. They produce a lot of ultraviolet energy. It zaps the gas around them, making it glow. If you could travel inside M42, you'd see hundreds or thousands of stars. Some would be too bright to look at directly, while others would look like dull embers. Ribbons and curtains of gas would surround you, glowing pink, green, or blue-white. Dark lanes and blobs would run through the background – dense clouds of dust where more stars are taking shape. You'd also see some objects that look a bit like tadpoles – proplyds – the possible birthplaces of planets. We'll have more about that tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Wednesday, November 29, 2023 - What does it mean to be from somewhere? How do restaurants, events, and even diversity of languages spoken create a sense of community. Alicia Underlee Nelson is a travel writer who's written for Thomson Reuters, Food Network, Delta Sky Magazine, among others. Her latest book is 100 Things to Do in Fargo Before You Die. ~~~ Tom Isern shares a Plains Folk essay, A Republic of Prairie Dogs. ~~~ Sue Balcom is here for Main Street Eats. ~~~ In this week's Natural North Dakota, we learn about the Orion Nebula.

Have you ever heard of the Orion nebula? The Orion nebula is the brightest diffuse nebula in the sky. It can be seen with the naked eye in the constellation Orion. Orion (“The Great Hunter”) is one of the easiest constellations to identify in the winter sky.

this is a comedy ""podcast"" btw believe it or not. It is a joke, it is parody, it is satire. It is not serious; it is not meant to be taken seriously. I do not condone the physical harming or even light harassment of real estate agents in any way shape or form. Do not call, text, or email Jeffrey Doussan or Keller Williams of New Orleans. Do not write funny bad reviews on yelp or google or furnished finder. Do not send pipe bombs or bomb threats to his house or any of his listed properties. I mean it! If you do any of these things you will be banned from podcasts forever. Thank you enjoy the show. Looking at rentals is really fun cuz real estate agents and property managers are some of the most redacted and oblivious people you have to trust with your livelihood. Recently I had scheduled to see a place and the guy no showed, no contact I messaged and emailed him multiple times and 3 days later he texted "apologies out of town." He then proceeds to try to reschedule immediately for the next day at 11am I say can we do 2pm he says no we can't let's do Monday 2pm I say okay Monday 2pm he says great I say great and then he says actually we can do tomorrow Friday 2pm i say perfect cool then Friday at 11am he says you must think we're crazy but we're actually just short-handed can you do monday 2pm and then i showed up today Monday at 2pm and the guy is 10 minutes late, I text the guy and he said "oh Philip's not there?" Philip the minion shows up within 1 minute of me texting, Philip says haha it's good thing our office is right around the corner and he points to a building literally right behind the rental and gives me the dorkiest fcking smile and I want to drown Philip in a puddle. We go to open the door and he doesn't have the right keypad code. I stand around in the rain for about 5 minutes while he calls and texts people and then he's like oh we can just try the other side of the duplex and I asked if the other side is the same layout and price and furnishings and he said no so I said no and so we sat in the rain for another 5 minutes and he finally gets the code and we go in. It looks like the last tenant had just left, all the lights and tvs are on and trash cans full, poop splatters on the toilet and it smells like cat piss. Despite this, I message the property manager that I am interested and would like to move forward with my application and he likes my message and says nothing else. $1400/month. a few years ago, a property manager was stunned that I requested to inspect the house before signing a legal document that said we conducted an inspection and told me I was the first person to ever do so. He addressed me as "Gay bro" in a text and it was never acknowledged $1754/month 440 sq feet #italiano #realestateagent #propertymanagement When you were investing in real estate, I studied the blade.

There is a beautiful celestial object that glimmers in the night sky. It is called the Orion Nebula. It is the nearest “star factory” to Earth and is a bright, stellar nursery where hundreds of new stars are being born. It is visible with the naked eye unless there is light pollution, cloudy weather, or a problem with our eyes. No matter what the weather is like, no matter at what point in the earth's rotation we are positioned, and no matter at what point in the revolution around the sun we are coasting, the nebula remains there. According to Psalm 139:7-10, that is how it is with the Holy Spirit. God's abiding presence is not determined by the weather in our hearts that may obscure or reveal His loving activities in our lives. His presence is not determined by how we are feeling on a particular day of the year, or how we are faring during a particular season of our lives. The Holy Spirit is always present, active, and in reach.

Shownotes In Australia Daylight Saving ends on April 2nd Moon Phases: Full moon April 6th So for those out camping over Easter, you'll have very nice dark skies to see lots of clusters and nebulae as well as Venus and Mars without any interference from the moon. Last Quarter April 13th Perigee moon April 16th New Moon April 20th First Quarter (apogee) Moon appears in evening skies on April 28th. In the Evening Skies Mercury is a very difficult target even for those with very low western horizons. Venus is very easily observed in the West in the early evening just after sunset for an hour and a half. Over April Venus is moving closes and closer to the iconic open cluster the Pleiades and between the 10th and the 12th Venus and the Pleiades close together will make great binocular viewing. On the 23rd Venus is just 3 degrees from the crescent moon. Mars is still prominent, but is shrinking and fading and moving from the Taurus constellation into Gemini. At the start of April is close to the open cluster M35 and within binocular distance from the 1st to the 4th. On the 26th Mars is close to the waxing moon. The Emu dark constellation is always great to see around 10pm when the sky is fully dark. In the Morning Skies Jupiter is lost to view in evening skies and won't turn up in morning skies till May. Saturn is climbing higher and higher in the morning skies, easily seen an hour before sunrise On the 16th and 17th Saturn is near the thin crescent moon Orion the Hunter is sinking to the West and Scorpius is rising in the East April's Signature Event ~ A Total Solar Eclipse A Total Solar Eclipse in remote Western Australia is on the April 20, but all accomodation and campsites have been fully booked out years in advance, so if you're not booked in, you're best to see totality happen by watching online. Other parts of Australia will experience a partial solar eclipse. On April 20, the shadow of the moon will graze in a 40-kilometre-wide track over one of the most beautiful parts of the world – the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo region near Exmouth. The website at Ningalooeclipse-DOT-com is highly recommended. For Western Australia start to look about 10am Perth residents will see 71% of the sun covered at 11:20am Darwin gets 80% of the sun covered at 1:50pm For Central Australia and Northern Territory their partial eclipse begins around 12 noon. For Eastern States it's round about 1pm, with only a small percentage of the sun covered. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN. You WILL go blind. Specialist astronomical solar glasses from astronomical supply shops are OK for viewing, and NEVER used 'smoked glass' or ‘filters' or you will lose your vision. Ian describe how to make a pinhole projector to safely observe an image of the eclipse which is projected onto a flat surface Further safe observing tips can be found on Ian's Astroblog at astrobloggerDOTblogspotDOTcom Ian's Tangent The Colours of Space Our eyes can only see the visible spectrum ROYGBIV Bees can see in the ultra violet. The famous Hubble images are obtained by using filters and assigning colours using the Hubble Pallette. Most meteorites do not have striking colours, some comets and meteors can have spectacular colours. Gases in space can predominantly be Hydrogen, Helium, Methanol and Ethanol, and many complex molecules have been observed and identified. The Orion Nebula's colour is due to ethanol, and Ian goes on to explain how the spectacular colours of space are out of this world.

The Orion Nebula is one of the most remarkable regions in our part of the galaxy. It's a giant complex of clouds of gas and dust that are forming new stars. So far, it's given birth to thousands of them, of all sizes. And many more are taking shape even now. But some of those stars are starting to shut down the process. Astronomers looked at the nebula with SOFIA, an airborne observatory that was retired in September. In particular, they looked at what was happening at the rim of a giant bubble. It surrounds the Trapezium, a small group of especially hot, bright, massive stars. Radiation and strong “winds” from those stars created the bubble in the first place, blowing away the surrounding gas and dust. The SOFIA observations showed that today, the Trapezium is producing big outflows of hot gas — like interstellar rivers. The outflows are drilling thousands of tiny holes in the bubble — making the rim as porous as a sieve. As gas flows out of those holes, it rams into material outside the bubble. That blows away some of the gas and dust that might otherwise make more stars — helping shut down starbirth in the Orion Nebula. The nebula is well up in the south as night falls, below Orion's three-star belt. Under mildly dark skies, it's visible to the unaided eye as a hazy smudge of light. It's easier to see if you look at it out of the corner of your eye — the combined fires of thousands of young stars.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

The Orion Nebula is the closest and most active area of star formation in the Milky Way. It is often compared to a stellar nursery or maternity ward. The dimensions of this thing are mind-boggling -- it is around 1,300 light years away and about 30-40 light years across. In terms of actual miles, a light year represents 6 trillion miles.

As the moon wanes and rises later each night, the early evening skies are dark again, allowing us to see the faint deep sky marvels of winter. One of the most famous is actually visible to the naked eye – the Great Orion Nebula.

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.

Almost every galaxy is giving birth to at least a few stars. But a giant stellar nursery on the rim of M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, takes starbirth to the extreme. It is giving birth to thousands of stars — including many that are among the hottest, brightest, and most massive yet seen. M33 is the third-largest member of the Local Group, a collection of scores of galaxies. The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are its largest members. M33 is about half the diameter of the Milky Way, and contains perhaps one-tenth as many stars. Several loosely wound spiral arms wrap around its nucleus. The arms contain huge amounts of gas and dust — the raw materials for new stars. Much of it congregates in a collection of stellar nurseries. The largest is NGC 604. It's about 6,000 times brighter than the Orion Nebula, the closest major nursery to Earth. NGC 604 is only a few million years old, but it's already given birth to about 200 superstars — up to 120 times the mass of the Sun. Many of them will explode. M33 is about three million light-years away, in the constellation Triangulum, which is low in the east-northeast as night falls. Under especially dark skies, the galaxy is just visible to those with good eyesight. Everyone else needs help to see this busy galaxy.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory
