The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
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 February 2026. Today's 2 topics: - Around the world those who value the natural night sky are evaluating the effects of light pollution. In addition to impairing astronomy and star gazing the past 100 years of increasing light pollution is proving to be harmful to human health and the natural world upon which we all depend. The purpose of the Dark Sky Network is monitor and facilitate the mitigation of the harmful effects of light pollution. - The Earth's atmosphere does a good job of protecting humanity from space weather, however, occasionally a major event does break through our shield and gets our attention. Tree rings and ice cores have recorded past space weather events thousands of time larger than which have occurred in the modern age. Investing in research seems wise.

This week we keep a watchful eye on an active sun with ten sunspot clusters now in Earth view, dominated by activity along the east limb. Newly arrived regions 4446, 4447, and 4455 are firing solar flares and lunching solar storms, although none are earth-directed yet. Region 4441 launched a massive solar storm as
"Naturspektakel im Norden". Die Aurora Borealis fasziniert seit jeher die Menscheit. Doch was passiert da eigentlich genau?In dieser Folge von „Darf's ein bisschen Chemie sein?“ geht es um Sonnenwinde, Magnetfelder und leuchtende Atmosphärenchemie. Du erfährst, warum Polarlichter entstehen, wieso sie unterschiedliche Farben haben, was der Kp-Index bedeutet und welche Rolle Polarlichter in der aktuellen Forschung rund um Space Weather spielen.Außerdem gibt's persönliche Aurora-Hunting-Storys aus Nordschweden, inklusive Nachtzug, Wolkenfrust und Polarlicht-Apps!Bock auf Aurora-Feeling daheim?

What if the Sun is influencing your dreams? In this episode of The Dream Journal, host Katherine Bell speaks with Dr. Annani Kelley, researcher, poet, and founder of heliopsychology, about her groundbreaking work on space weather, solar flares, geomagnetic activity, and human consciousness. Drawing on more than 70 years of heliobiology research and her own PhD dissertation, Dr. Kelley explores how solar flares, sunspots, and geomagnetic storms correlate with changes in sleep quality, nightmares, aggressive dreams, dream bizarreness, and extraordinary dream states—including lucid, psychic, and precognitive dreams. The conversation moves beyond sleep into big‑picture questions: • How space weather affects human behavior, creativity, and social systems • Why solar maximum periods are linked with volatility and aggression • The idea that consciousness may be electromagnetic, with the brain acting as a receiver rather than the source • Historical events like the Carrington Event and how solar storms affect Earth • The role dreams may play in the evolution of consciousness Dr. Kelley also shares poetry from her book Somnia De Fine Mundi (Dreams of the End of the World)—dream‑inspired work that reflects apocalyptic imagery, transformation, and cosmic awareness. This episode blends science, psychology, dreams, poetry, and philosophy, offering a thought‑provoking look at humanity's intimate relationship with the Sun. Chapter Headings Space Weather and the Science of Heliopsychology Solar Flares, Sunspots, and Geomagnetic Activity Explained How the Sun Influences Sleep Quality and Dreaming Nightmares, Aggressive Dreams, and Dream Bizarreness Psychic, Lucid, and Extraordinary Dream States Solar Cycles, Human Behavior, and World Events Consciousness as an Electromagnetic Phenomenon The Brain as Receiver: Rethinking Where Consciousness Comes From The Carrington Event and Extreme Solar Storms Dreams of the End of the World: Poetry, Apocalypse, and Meaning BIO: Dr. Annani Kelley recently received her PhD from Sofia University and is the founder of Heliopsychology. Her dissertation focused on the influence of space weather on sleep and dream states. She has recently published a poetry book called “Somnia de Fine Mundi” which translates to Dreams of the End of the World.

It's been a long while since Diamond and Leah of @oppenheimerranchproject last joined us, and tonight I would like to get not only a general Space Weather News update, but also their thoughts on ongoing missions to the moon, and the motives for all of the other paradigm-shifting stories that are being prepared for us on a daily basis. In the second half we're going to pop open a really strange can of worms concerning some of the more outrageous funeral home scams that have been reported in recent years alone: recycled coffins, fake ashes, unauthorized mass graves, and fraud beyond measure.

Meteorologist Bailey Braun speaks with Shawn Dahl from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center how space weather effects our local atmosphere.
Space weather is calming down after recent activity, with fast solar wind and a mini-solar storm launch causing us to reach storm levels. But more is on the way. This weekend, expect more aurora due to more fast solar wind. It also looks like we will be headed for a spotless Sun again soon.
The Perseverance and Curiosity Rovers are exploring Mars, looking at things like boxwork formations and using new technology to navigate around the planet. Plus, a new project aims to look at how gravity waves are impacting things like GPS, radio, satellites and more.
In today's episode, Anna and Avery explore five of the week's most compelling space and astronomy stories: a new SETI Institute study suggesting stellar space weather could be scrambling alien radio signals before they even leave their home systems; groundbreaking research revealing that spaceflight physically shifts and deforms the human brain inside the skull; the impressive engineering story behind Roscosmos restoring Baikonur's launch pad in record time ahead of the Progress MS-33 mission; a surprising new finding from Nature that Earth's elliptical orbit plays a much bigger role in shaping El Niño and global weather patterns than previously thought; and the endlessly fascinating question of whether asteroid impacts could allow microbes to travel between planets — including the possibility that life on Earth may have originated on Mars. Stories Covered • Why SETI may be missing alien radio signals — space weather around distant stars could be smearing narrowband signals beyond the reach of current detectors (SETI Institute, March 2026) • Spaceflight physically shifts and deforms the brain inside the skull — new MRI study of 26 astronauts published in PNAS reveals extent of microgravity's neurological impact (University of Florida, March 2026) • Baikonur's Site 31/6 launch pad fully restored after November 2025 damage — over 150 workers complete repairs in under two months, clearing path for Progress MS-33 on March 22 (NASASpaceFlight, March 2026) • Earth's distance from the Sun found to dramatically alter seasons — new Nature study shows orbital eccentricity drives its own annual cycle in the Pacific cold tongue, influencing El Niño over millennia (UC Berkeley, March 2026) • Did Earth life begin on Mars? New research examines how asteroid impacts could allow microbes to travel between planets via ejected rock (Universe Today, March 2026) Connect With Us Website: astronomydaily.io Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Tumblr: @AstroDailyPod Part of the Bitesz.com Podcast NetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

This week is quite impressive for Space Weather!Saturn Conjunct Neptune in PiscesVenus returns as the evening star and forms a gateway activating the Base ChakraPlanetary parade with Pluto, Mars, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and the Moon all in a lineUranus in TaurusJupiter in GeminiIn this episode, we explore the powerful astrological and numerological influences shaping the current moment. We unpack the idea of “astrological space weather” and how these cosmic patterns interact with the energetic themes of the year, offering a broader lens for understanding both personal and collective experiences.The conversation introduces key foundations, including the Wheel of the Year, an overview of sidereal astrology, and how it differs from the tropical system many people are familiar with. We also look at the role of both personal and generational planets—from Mercury and Venus through to Pluto—and how their movements reflect shifts happening within individuals and across society.A central focus of the episode is the journey of Venus and its symbolic connection to the divine feminine, alongside reflections on current planetary alignments and what they may signify in this time of change. Themes of societal transformation, the unraveling of outdated belief systems, and the growing importance of personal sovereignty weave throughout the discussion.We close with an invitation for listeners to cultivate discernment in an era of information overload—encouraging curiosity, self-education, and direct observation as tools for forming grounded, independent perspectives.

The Earth's atmosphere does a good job of protecting humanity from space weather, however, occasionally a major event does break through our shield and gets our attention. Tree rings and ice cores have recorded past space weather events thousands of time larger than which have occurred in the modern age. investing in research seems wise.
The fun just keeps coming this week! Even though Region 4366 will be rotating to the farside over the next few days, there is still plenty of activity. Region 4371 has launched a mini-solar storm at Earth, which could hit us late on Thursday or possibly early Friday. Although it is a small storm,

Our Solar System is wrapped in a vast, invisible bubble created by the Sun, a protective region that shields Earth and the planets from much of the radiation that fills our galaxy. But until recently, scientists have only had rough sketches of what this boundary looks like and how it behaves. In this episode of Planetary Radio, host Sarah Al-Ahmed is joined by David McComas, professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University and principal investigator of NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) and Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) missions, along with Matina Gkioulidou, a heliophysicist at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, former IMAP-Ultra instrument lead, and current IMAP project scientist and co-investigator. Now stationed at the Sun–Earth L1 Lagrange point, IMAP uses 10 instruments to study the heliosphere — the region where the solar wind collides with material from interstellar space. The mission does this by tracking energetic neutral atoms, particles that travel in straight lines from distant regions of the heliosphere, allowing scientists to map areas of space that spacecraft can’t directly sample. McComas and Gkioulidou explain how IMAP builds on the legacy of Interstellar Boundary Explorer, what makes this mission different, and why understanding the Sun’s influence across space matters not just for fundamental science, but for space-weather forecasting and protecting technology and astronauts closer to home.

Pred nekaj leti so astronomi na slikah Vesoljskega teleskopa James Webb opazili majhne, izjemno rdeče, kompaktne objekte, ki jih niso znali uvrstiti v nobeno znano kategorijo. Kar hitro so med raziskovalci vzbudili veliko radovednost in si pridobili vzdevek »male rdeče pike«. Tokratna gostja, Roberta Tripodi z Astronomskega observatorija v Rimu, je ena od raziskovalk, ki se poglablja v to skrivnost in je pred kratkim v sklopu mednarodnega sodelovanja Canucs objavila najnovejša odkritja o malih rdečih pikah.Hvala vsem, ki podkast podpirate na https://ko-fi.com/temnastranlune!—Zapiski epizode |Roberta TripodiMAST - prosto dostopni arhiv podatkov JWSTTiskovno sporočilo o malih rdečih pikah (FMF UL in NASA)znanstveni članek Tripodi et al. 2025, “Extreme properties of a compact and massive accreting black hole host in the first 500 Myr”Novice |novice o kometu 3I/Atlas (https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/comet-3i-atlas-nasa-maven-hydrogen, https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/3i-atlas-esa-mars-images-october-2025)1. zimska šola GoChile za učiteljeMednarodni projekt Lunina paralaksaOpazovanja:(knjiga) G.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest astronomical phenomena and significant discoveries that are shaping our understanding of Earth and space.Auroral Displays Light Up the SkiesPlanet Earth has been treated to an extraordinary display of auroras, with both the Aurora Australis and Aurora Borealis lighting up the skies following three powerful X-class solar flares, including an X 5.1 event on November 11. This segment dives into the mechanics behind these solar flares, the resulting coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and how they triggered spectacular auroras visible at lower latitudes than usual, including sightings as far north as Cairns and even Florida.Largest Modern Impact Crater DiscoveredScientists have uncovered what is believed to be the largest modern impact crater on Earth, the 900-metre-wide Jinling Crater in southern China. This well-preserved structure, dating back to the Holocene epoch, offers new insights into extraterrestrial impacts and their effects on our planet. The discovery challenges previous assumptions about the frequency and scale of impacts from small celestial bodies and highlights the importance of studying such geological features.Nasa's Key Communications Dish Out of ServiceIn a significant setback for NASA, the 70-metre Goldstone deep space communications dish has been rendered inoperable due to an accident that occurred in September. The incident has raised concerns about the strain on NASA's Deep Space Network, especially with upcoming missions like Artemis 2. We discuss the implications of this loss for various space missions and the efforts being made to mitigate the impact on communications.The Science RobertIn our science report, we highlight a new projection from the World Meteorological Organisation indicating that 2025 is unlikely to be the hottest year on record, but it will rank among the top three. We also address public health concerns surrounding a measles alert in Australia, linked to declining vaccination rates, and the potential resurgence of preventable diseases. This segment underscores the importance of vaccination in maintaining herd immunity and protecting public health.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Geophysical ResearchNature CommunicationsWorld Meteorological Organisation ReportsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

(00:00:00) Decelerating Cosmos and Solar Secrets: Unravelling Dark Energy and the Sun's Magnetic Dance (00:00:45) More confirmation that the Universe's expansion is slowing (00:08:53) First glimpse of the Sun's polar magnetic field in motion (00:14:09) Space Weather events ramping up (00:18:24) The Science Report (00:20:29) Alex on Tech NEO the humanoid housekeeper In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore significant revelations about the universe's expansion, the Sun's magnetic field, and the current surge in solar weather activity.The Universe's Expansion Rate is SlowingA new study has confirmed that the universe's rate of expansion, which began after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, is slowing down. This finding contradicts previous theories suggesting that the expansion was accelerating due to dark energy. We delve into the implications of this research, which indicates that dark energy may be evolving more rapidly than previously understood, potentially marking a paradigm shift in cosmology. The episode discusses various scenarios for the universe's future, including the Big Crunch, Steady State theory, Big Freeze, and Big Rip, and how these new observations could reshape our understanding of cosmic fate.First Glimpse of the Sun's Polar Magnetic FieldAstronomers have captured their first detailed view of the Sun's polar magnetic field in motion, revealing unexpected rapid movements. The Solar Orbiter spacecraft has provided insights into the Sun's magnetic activity, which follows an 11-year cycle. This segment highlights the significance of the findings, which enhance our understanding of solar dynamics and the implications for space weather.Current Surge in Space Weather EventsAs the Sun reaches solar maximum, astronomers are observing increased solar storm activity, including multiple X-class and M-class solar flares. This segment discusses the effects of coronal mass ejections on Earth, including spectacular auroras and potential disruptions to technology and power grids. We explore the science behind solar flares and their impact on our planet, providing a comprehensive overview of current space weather conditions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyAstrophysical Journal LettersNature GeoscienceJournal of the American Medical AssociationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
The Northern Lights are back—for the second night in a row—and the Carolina Weather Group is tracking every moment! From a G4 geomagnetic storm to aurora sightings as far south as Charleston and the Florida Panhandle, the team breaks down what's happening above our heads and why this solar cycle is producing such rare displays for the Carolinas.
The Sun is restless again! A massive coronal hole has opened up, sending streams of solar wind racing toward Earth. These high-speed particles not only light up our skies with dazzling auroras but can also affect satellites, power grids, and communications. In this special SETI Live, heliophysicist Dr. Becca Robinson (SETI Institute) joins host Simon Steel (Deputy Director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute) to explain what coronal holes are, how they form, and what their impacts mean for both our technology and our understanding of the Sun. Join us on October 7 at 2:30 pm PT for a deep dive into the science of solar storms, space weather, and the mysteries of our nearest star.

Together, Dave and Dr. McCraty uncover how heart-brain coherence can improve neuroplasticity, optimize sleep, strengthen mitochondria, and create emotional stability even under extreme stress. You'll discover how five minutes a day of coherence training can elevate focus, resilience, and connection, helping every other biohack, from fasting and ketosis to supplements and nootropics, work more effectively. You'll Learn: • What HRV really measures and why it predicts performance and longevity • How coherence breathing balances your nervous system and sharpens cognition • Why emotional regulation begins in the heart, not the mind • How environmental and solar energy affect your physiology, and how to stay stable • The Navy-proven HRV method for better sleep and stress recovery • How coherence training outperforms traditional meditation for daily resilience • The measurable science behind “radiating love” and creating heart-based connection This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, brain optimization, functional medicine, and anti-aging. Whether you're optimizing metabolism, fine-tuning sleep, or upgrading your energy with Danger Coffee, coherence training helps you live smarter, not harder, by syncing your biology with the rhythm of life itself. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary | Astronomy, Space & Science News
In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking revelations about dark energy, lunar geology, and Europe's innovative space weather monitoring initiative.Dark Energy: A Changing Force?Astronomers have compiled the largest supernova dataset to date, revealing tantalizing hints that dark energy may not be a constant force in the universe. This research, led by the International Supernova Cosmology Project, analyzes over 2,000 Type 1A supernovae to explore the evolving nature of dark energy, which currently comprises nearly 70% of the universe's mass-energy content. The findings suggest that if dark energy is weakening, it could significantly impact the universe's expansion and ultimate fate, challenging existing models and sparking excitement in the astrophysics community.New Insights into Lunar MagmaA recent study analyzing samples from China's Chang' e 5 mission indicates that molten magma may have persisted on the Moon's surface much longer than previously believed. Researchers, led by Stephen Alado, utilized radioactive dating to reveal that volcanic activity on the lunar far side could have continued for billions of years, contradicting earlier theories about the Moon's cooling process. This new understanding of lunar geology offers valuable insights into the Moon's evolution and the processes that shape celestial bodies.Europe's Space Weather Early Warning SystemThe European Space Agency is set to launch Vigil, a pioneering space weather probe, in 2031. Positioned at the Lagrangian L5 point, Vigil will provide unprecedented monitoring of solar activity, allowing for early warnings of solar storms that could disrupt communication systems and power grids on Earth. This mission aims to enhance our ability to predict and mitigate the impacts of space weather on modern infrastructure, marking a significant advancement in global space safety efforts.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357Science Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvESA Vigil Missionhttps://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Space_Weather/VigilBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
