Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA Ep. 101: More Stars

The 365 Days of Astronomy ·

2024/02/08

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

The Cosmic Savannah Ep. 53: Space Lasers!

2024/01/27

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. A powerful, naturally occurring “space laser”, called a megamaser, has been discovered with South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope in a galaxy nearly five billion light-years away. This is the most distant such megamaser found so far, and was probably forged in the collision of two galaxies. The megamaser has been nicknamed “Nkalakatha,” meaning “big boss” in isiZulu. A maser is just like a laser but in radio waves instead of visible light. When

This episode was originally released on October 4, 2023.

This episode would have looked very different with a shutdown. Since we got a budget, today’s episode focuses on science. In the first segment, I get to talk about something I never thought I’d even

Oh, nothing… Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is there really no way to do FTL travel? Well, no – but there’s no harm going through the options again. - Just doing it. - Quantum stuff. - Send information. But, faster than light? Given photons can’t even manage it, it’s seems highly unlikely we’ll ever get spacecraft to do it. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is cosmic expansion just the tail-end of early inflation? Cosmic expansion – that is, the ongoing expansion of the Universe – is something we can readily observe
