EVSN - The Compass (Sometimes... Kinda) Points North

The 365 Days of Astronomy ·

2024/02/23

From Wednesday, January 24, 2024. If you take a compass and follow its pointy little needle, you will end up in Northern Canada but not at the North Pole. If you have a boat, you'll end up on Ellesmere Island wondering where Santa is hiding. The fact that the rotational north pole of the Earth and the magnetic pole of the Earth don’t align means that if you want to actually get to the Earth’s rotational North Pole - the one the pole sticks out of on your globe - you have to look up corrections

Expanding and lifting. The Hubble – Lemaitre Law: v=H0D V (Velocity) equals D (distance) times H-nought (the Hubble-Lemaitre constant). This formula describes the relationship between the distance of galaxies and the velocity at which they are receding from us. Put simply it says the farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is receding. This relationship has been widely accepted as evidence that the Universe must be expanding, with the notable exception of Edwin Hubble who was happy there was a

Recorded 30 November 2023. In a new study published in the Astronomical Journal, researchers used the known population of exoplanets to set better thresholds for planetary effects on signals from ETIs (extraterrestrial intelligences). Megan Grace Li, a Ph.D. student at UCLA in UCLA SETI, conducted this research as a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates intern in the Breakthrough Listen project at the Berkeley SETI Research Center.

From October 25, 2023. Around our parent collaboration, CosmoQuest, Halloween is, hands-down, the most beloved season of the year. Costumes are worn. Yards are decorated. We are here for all the strangers that knock on our door - the weirdos, the witches, and the oh-so-very-many werewolves - and there will be as much candy as we can afford given out. We know we are not the only ones. With about a week to go, we know that any day now, NASA, ESA, ESO, and others will begin releasing their spooky

2024/02/14

Recorded 16 November 2023. On Earth, we understand how and where earthquakes happen due to the discovery of plate tectonics – the continental crust’s creation, movement, and destruction. However, when astronauts placed seismometers on the lunar surface during NASA’s Apollo mission era, those instruments recorded quakes on the Moon. In the 1970s, the Viking landers also recorded quakes on the surface of Mars. Since neither of these worlds has plate tectonics, scientists set about collecting more

From July 29, 2023. Aside from our own solar system, one of the most studied stellar systems lies about 40 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Aquarius. Using ground and space based telescopes like Spitzer, Kepler, Hubble, and, now, the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are looking hard at the seven rocky exoplanets orbiting the TRAPPIST-1 star.

We’ve sent robots to other worlds, but the amount of science we can deploy to another planet can’t compare with the vast science labs we have on Earth. That’s why more and more missions are for a sample return, bringing pieces of alien worlds back to Earth, where we study them with proper equipment.

We even take a deep dive into anti-matter, but not a literal deep dive… just a conceptual deep dive.

More star stuff. – Do other stars have sunspot activity cycles like the Sun does? Yes, although we say starspots rather than sun spots, when referring to any star other than the Sun. The Sun has an approximately 11 year cycle defined by the number of observable sunspots – which moves from a minimum number to a maximum number over 11 years, and then moves back to a minimum number over another 11 years – hence some people prefer to say it’s actually a 22 year cycle. – So why are magnetars magnetic
