- Starliner, 

- Polaris Dawn, 

- Blue Origin and…

- Dustin shares an interview with John S. Gianforte at a local astronomy festival.

Astronomers estimate that there are more free roaming planets in our galaxy than there are planets in orbit around stars. In fact, rogue exoplanets - planets with no star whatsoever - far outnumber all other planets in our galaxy, by 20 times. Trillions of worlds wandering alone.

Trillions of neutrinos are produced in our Sun through its nuclear reactions. These particles stream out at nearly the speed of light, and pass right through any matter they encounter. In fact, there are billions of them passing through your body right now. Learn how this elusive particle was first theorized and finally discovered.

I don’t want to alarm the listeners but there is a flurry of particles from the Sun passing through each and every one of you right now. A lot of particles. In fact, there are 50 bi...

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:

- In 1972 Apollo 16 astronauts took an ultraviolet image of the Earth from the Moon which shows that like the Sun, the Earth too, has a faint corona of gas surrounding it. Scientists are just beginning to explore how Earth's glow relates to our weather and climate.

- Humans are slamming projectiles into space rocks. These experiments will give us the know how...

What is gracing the September 2024 skies?  A juuuuust barely partial lunar eclipse, the best viewing for Saturn, 5 lunar close encounters, and the transition to fall.

Hi everybody, I’m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare.

 

We’ll start by talking about September’s big events, then highlight the naked eye planets, and finish up with the lunar phases, so you can plan ahead better than me.  

7th – 8th – Opposition of Saturn – Saturn, Earth, and the Sun are essentially lined up, causing Saturn...

From November 16, 2021.

After five years of observations, researchers have found that the quasi-satellite Kamo’oalewa, which currently orbits the Earth, is similar to a lunar sample collected during the Apollo 14 mission. Plus, Russia blows up a satellite, TESS finds a circumbinary planet, and we interview Dr. Gail Christeson of the University of Texas, Austin, about mapping Chicxulub crater.

From July 7, 2008.

And now we reach the third part of our trilogy on the human exploration and colonization of Mars. Humans will inevitably tire of living underground, and will want to stretch their legs, and fill their lungs with fresh air. One day, we’ll contemplate the possibility of reshaping Mars to suit human life. Is it even possible? What technologies would be used, and what’s the best we can hope for?
