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 Today's 2 topics: - Anyone who thinks women can't do computers and science needs to meet my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny. On a recent 3 night observing run at the 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Rose took over the world of asteroid hunting when she posted 82 new potentially Earth

We see the sun every day as it rises and sets... it's one of the few constants in life. But it's a very dynamic body, throwing minor temper tantrums regularly. As it happens, we're at the peak of its 11-year cycle of activity and there's a lot going on! Dr. Alex Young, the Associate Director for Science in the Heliophysics Science Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, joins us to talk about the sun, solar activity cycles, the recent solar storms that have given us auroras and some

Our home galaxy is a cosmic melting pot. While many of its stars were born in the Milky Way, many others came from outside. They were born in smaller galaxies that were captured by the Milky Way. Over time, the smaller galaxies were ripped apart, and their stars were scattered throughout the Milky Way. And one of the Sun’s close neighbors may be an example. Kapteyn’s Star is about 13 light-years away. Only about 20 other star systems are closer. The star is about a third the size and

Embark on a celestial journey with today's episode of Astronomy Daily - The Podcast, where your host, Anna, brings you the latest cosmic updates. We'll delve into Voyager One's latest achievements as it resumes its science operations after a technical glitch. We'll also discuss the recent spacewalk cancellation on the International Space Station due to a spacesuit discomfort issue. And don't miss out on the new findings from NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars, which has just reached a new area of

Dark energy is a mysterious force that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) attached to the Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory is currently measuring the redshifts to tens of millions of galaxies to help unravel the mystery of dark energy. In this podcast, NOIRLab’s Dr. Stephanie Juneau talks about the results from the first year of observations with DESI.   Bios:  Rob Sparks is in the Communications,

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 70, where we delve into the latest cosmic events and groundbreaking discoveries shaping our understanding of the universe.First, we explore SpaceX's Starship, the world's largest and most powerful rocket, which has successfully completed its fourth test flight. This historic mission is a significant step towards developing a colonial transport ship capable of carrying 100 people or 150 tonnes of supplies to the moon, Mars, and beyond. We dive into the details

The biggest globular star cluster in the Milky Way Galaxy may not be a child of the Milky Way. Instead, it may be a sort of orphan — the surviving core of a smaller galaxy that was captured by the Milky Way. Omega Centauri contains perhaps 10 million stars, all packed into a dense ball about 150 light-years across. In the cluster’s middle, the stars are packed so tightly that they’re only about a tenth of a light-year apart. Compare that to our part of the galaxy, where the nearest

Well, we waited, we waffled, and we joked... but Boeing's Starliner finally made good! Seven or so years after their projected crewed flight date, the second provider of crew delivery to the International Space Station finally succeeded in sending two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, to the ISS. Despite a few problems with (sigh) valves, helium tanks, and thrusters, the mission appears to be going swimmingly. Then, just a day later, SpaceX launched a Starship on a fourth test flight

Ever wonder if there are civilizations out there way more advanced than us? The Kardashev Scale might hold the answer! This episode dives into this thought-provoking theory that ranks alien civilizations based on their energy use. From basic planetary power to harnessing the energy of stars, we'll explore the different levels and what it might take for humanity to reach them.

Embark on a celestial journey with today's episode of Astronomy Daily - The Podcast, where your host, Anna, brings you the latest cosmic updates. We'll start with a recent NASA mishap that caused a stir on social media, revealing the delicate nature of space operations. Next, we'll explore the ambitious Einstein Telescope project, poised to revolutionize our understanding of gravitational waves, and take a closer look at a critical spacewalk investigating space microbes. We'll also discuss NASA's

From Sep 17, 2021. A supernova first observed in 2016 will be replayed in a few years because of the light’s journey through a galaxy cluster and how dark matter gravitationally warps space-time. Plus, inactive centaurs, a Scottish ice wall, and a review of “Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space”.   Dundee under ice: a view of Tayside during the ice age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRYDYKB2yRg   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and

As you look out into the night sky, you might think that you’re seeing a true sampling of the stars — in other words, a little of everything. That’s not the case, though. Most of what you see is the Milky Way’s equivalent of the one percenters — stars that are among the galaxy’s biggest and brightest. An example is in the constellation Centaurus, which wheels quite low across the south on June nights. It’s so low, in fact, that much of it stays below the horizon for

Ever wondered if everything we see is just a tiny part of a much bigger reality? This episode dives into the mind-bending world of string theory, a revolutionary concept that proposes the universe isn't built from particles, but from tiny vibrating strings. We'll explore the extra dimensions it suggests exist beyond our familiar 3D space, how it could unify the forces of nature, and the mind-blowing implications it has for our understanding of the cosmos. Could string theory be the key to a unified
