The 365 Days of Astronomy

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.

Astronomy 101 - Everything you need to know about asteroids!

- What are they?

- What are they made of?

- Where are they??

 

Dr. Jen tells us how we understand so much about these small(ish) objects far away in the Asteroid Belt. Is the asteroid Belt really like the sci-fi depictions and are th...

Where do we live within the galaxy? What shapes the local bubble? How long will we be inside it? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!

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?

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 our Milky Way Galaxy alone there are probably 25 billion planets located within the habitable zone of its star where there could be air to breathe and liquid water on its surface. The search is on for advanced civilizations .

- Traveling an additional billion miles beyond Pluto, the New Horizons spacecraft is now sending back data on 2014 MU69, a strange snow...

From Aug 5, 2016.

The Earth’s tilt is nothing compared to Uranus, which has been flipped right over on its side. What could have caused such a devastating impact to the planet to make it this way?

 

It’s impossible to do an episode about Uranus without opening up the back door to a spit storm of potty humour. I get it, there’s something just hilarious about talking about your, mine and everyone’s anus. And even if you use the more sanitized and steri...

Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including Hubble, Chandra, and VIPER face cuts/cancellations, weird exoplanet orbits, Roman gains an instrument, and tales from the launch pad.

Building the future!

Dear Cheap Astronomy – How will we build a lunar base?

The main issue with building on Earth is gravity – that is, if you’d don’t build them properly they

will fall over. With the Moon having one sixth of earth’s gravity, stopping things from falling over

is still important but it’s a much easier thing to accomplish. The main challenge for building

structures for people to live in on the Moon is that those structures will need to retain internal

pressure against a va...
