EVSN - Early Black Holes Formed Before Stars?

From Feb 21, 2024.

One of the unexpected realities of JWST is the discovery that we have really been asking the wrong questions in many astronomy areas. For instance: we generally asked how supermassive black holes and galaxies formed, with a basic assumption that these things happened in some interrelated process. We thought stellar mass black holes came from stars and that there might have been tiny primordial black holes that evaporated away, but that was it. Closed case. Black holes formed with all the normal structures we experience today. Except that now, JWST?s observations require us to find a way to accelerate the formation of those structures, and one way to do that is to seed the universe with black holes.

SETI Live - The COSMIC Project at the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array

In a groundbreaking cosmic quest, the SETI Institute?s Commensal Open-Source Multimode Interferometer Cluster (COSMIC) at the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) is expanding the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). This cutting-edge technology is not a distinct telescope; it?s a detector. COSMIC searches for extraterrestrial signals and paves the way for future science using a copy of the raw data from the telescope?s observations. At the heart of COSMIC?s mission is pursuing the age-old question: Are we alone in the universe? Project scientist Dr. Chenoa Tremblay and the team detailed the project in a paper published in The Astronomical Journal.

At the American Astronomical Society's winter 2024 conference in New Orleans, Dr. Simon Steel, Deputy Director of the Carl Sagan Center, interviewed Dr. Tremblay about the project and its mission.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 247 & 248: Trans Neptunian & Gliding to Space

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:

- During the course of a single night our telescopes can find more than 10,000 moving objects. Fortunately our software geniuses are able to sort through this pile to allow us to focus on unknown objects which require additional observations. Observations of things like the 3,000 foot diameter 2016 EJ203. 

- About 20 years ago Dr. Elizabeth Austin began to investigate Polar Vortex winds during the long winter nights near the poles. The Airbus Perlan II is an engineless glider designed to surf stratospheric mountain waves in our atmosphere to the edge of space.

EVSN - Yes, Scientists DO Look at the (Dark Energy Survey) Data

From February 14th, 2024.

Every time I get the digital ?why can?t you scientists just look at the data? lecture, I wonder what people think scientists do. All we do is look at data, and when that data tells us our understanding of the universe is wrong, we?re pretty good at accepting the data and throwing out our false understandings? even when the data makes our life a whole lot harder. Such is the case with the accelerating rate of expansion of the Universe...

SETI Live - Ganymede's Alien Landscape: Salt, Organics, and Extraterrestrial Clues

Hosted by Dr. Franck Marchis.

NASA?s Juno mission has observed mineral salts and organic compounds on the surface of Jupiter?s moon Ganymede. Data for this discovery was collected by the Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) spectrometer aboard the spacecraft during a close flyby of the icy moon. 

 

The findings, which could help scientists better understand the origin of Ganymede and the composition of its deep ocean, were published on Oct. 30 in the journal Nature Astronomy.

 

Dr. Federico Tosi, a Juno co-investigator from Italy?s National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome and lead author of the paper, speaks with senior astronomer Franck Marchis about this discovery and what it could mean for Ganymede's subsurface oceans and possibly life. (Recorded 25 January 2024.)

Travelers in the Night Eps. 245 & 246: Raw Asteroid & Odds of Aliens

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:

- Most asteroids that we observe have been baked by the Sun for billions of years. As a result, any ices or frozen gases that they may have once possessed are long gone. Comets on the other hand have spent so much time far from the Sun that they still contain volatile materials. As a typical comet approaches the Sun, the frozen gases and ices it contains evaporate to form a beautiful coma and a long tail.

- Recently Dr. Adam Frank of the University of Rochester and Dr. Woodruff Sullivan of the University of Washington published a paper in which they addressed the question "What are the odds that humans are the only technological species that has ever arisen in a given volume of space"? Humans continue to look into the night sky and wonder what is out there. The immense distances and the uncertain lifetime of an advanced civilization make it seem unlikely that we will discover intelligent beings outside of Earth. However, I remain hopeful of one day waking to the news that we have received signals from thinking beings which live elsewhere in the Milky Way.

Last Minute Astronomer - March Episode

I?m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare.  As usual, we?ll start by talking about where the naked eye planets are this month, move on to the lunar phases, and finish up with a calendar of events, so you can plan ahead better than me. 

 

March of 2024: Spring will start, Venus gets real close to Saturn, Jupiter is on its way out, and the mornings tease us with some challenging encounters between 3 planets. 

 

7th - 8th ? CLOSE ENCOUNTER ? Moon, Venus, Mars ? Get out between 5:30am and 6:30am and get a very clear look at the SE horizon.  During that hour, you should be able to see the Moon as a VERY thin crescent, with Venus very bright and 20? to the left of the Moon on the 7th.  It?ll probably be too bright, but Mars will be in between the two, a little closer to Venus. Then, on the 8th, the Moon will move to be below Venus and Mars, making a very nice almost equilateral triangle.

 

13th ? CLOSE ENCOUNTER ? Moon, Jupiter ? Get out after sunset, look W, and the Moon will be only 3? to the right of Jupiter.  

 

20th ? Spring Equinox - Astronomically the first day of Spring, even though meteorologically Spring starts in the beginning of March.  Here?s some more info. 

 

22nd ? CLOSE ENCOUNTER ? Saturn, Venus ? Just after 6:30am, if you can catch Venus rising in the East, Saturn will be less than 2? to the right.

 

25th ? Penumbral Lunar Eclipse ? Only a very slight dimming of the Moon.

EVSN - Celebrating the Mars Robots That Could

From February 7, 2024.

Robots on Mars have a long history of exceeding all possible expectations. From Spirit and Opportunity lasting far beyond their planned 90-day missions to Ingenuity lasting 72 flights out of a planned five, these craft have become so beloved that we mourn their missions ending. Today, while we recognize NASA's Day of Remembrance, we also celebrate all the Mars missions that have done more than expected.

SETI Live - "A City on Mars" with Kelly and Zach Weinersmith

From January 30, 2024.

Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal) set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren?t so sure it?s a good idea. 

 

Space technologies and space business are progressing fast, but we lack the knowledge needed to have space kids, build space farms, and create space nations in a way that doesn?t spark conflict back home. In a world hurtling toward human expansion into space, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won?t create nightmares, both for settlers and the people they leave behind.

 

With deep expertise and a winning sense of humor, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself?whether and how to become multiplanetary. Join them in a special conversation with SETI Institute's Beth Johnson.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 709: Space Weapons

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLdReWGjF5c&t=10s

Streamed live on Feb 19, 2024.

[My apologies for Fraser?s audio dropouts. We?re not sure how it happened as it wasn?t happening at his studio. Audio is a black art, IMHO. Rich)

Last week we learned that Russia might be planning nuclear weapons to take out satellites in space. What is the current and future possibility of weapons in space and what are the treaties designed to prevent them?

Travelers in the Night Eps. 243E & 244E: Earth/Venus Express & Pale Blue Dot

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:

- We will probably never know the details of the collision that put my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Carson Fuls' recent discovery, 2016 HD3, on its current path. What we do know is that Carson's new space rock is about 25 feet in diameter and in the next 100 years will make 53 close approaches to planet Earth and 12 to our sister planet Venus. In 2016 this small object passed to near both the Earth and our Moon. It's 322 day orbit around the Sun can someday bring it to about a quarter of the Moon's distance from where we live.

- More than 25 years ago Voyager 1 took a picture of the Earth from beyond Pluto's orbit. This image shows our home planet to be an isolated tiny pale blue dot floating in the vastness of space.

The Cosmic Savannah Ep. 54: The African Network of Women in Astronomy

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama.

With Prof Mirjana Povi?, Prof Vanessa McBride, Dr. Priscilla Muheki and Prof Carolina Ödman.

 

In this week?s episode we are joined by fours members of the board of the recently established African Network of Women in Astronomy (AfNWA).

 

AfNWA is an initiative that aims to connect women working in astronomy and related fields in Africa. AfNWA aims to guarantee the future participation of girls and women at all levels in astronomy and science developments in Africa. 

 

Their main objectives are improving the status of women in science in Africa and using astronomy to inspire more girls to do STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

 

Mirjana, Vanessa, Priscilla and Carolina chat with us about how AfNWA came about and some of the exciting achievements thus far!

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

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 online and veer a little bit in whatever direction the correction happens to be at the moment. And if you are catching this show sometime far, far in the future, then Ellesmere Island, where that is true in early 2024, is likely no longer true.

Cheap Astronomy - Fantastic Physics Formulas - Episode 9

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 relationship between the redshift of galaxies and their distance, but never really accepted it as evidence that the whole Universe was expanding.

SETI Live - Drifting Signals: New Boundaries for Radio Technosignatures

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.

Join Megan as she chats with Beth Johnson about her work and what it means for the future of SETI searches.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 241E & 242E: Lunar Village & Blinded

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:

- Covered by a blanket of lunar soil to protect it from BB sized meteoroids arriving a gunshot speeds, a village is nestled in a large crater on our moon. The individual structures are connected together by tunnels. The site was chosen to access the water and metals which were brought to the site by asteroid impacts.

- Blinded by inappropriate outdoor night lighting, much of humanity is now unaware of the rich beauty of the Universe which surrounds them. To see sights which have inspired countless generations of lovers, poets, scientists, authors, artists, mathematicians, and dreamers people must travel out of their artificial light domes to one of the few remote locations which offer the opportunity to view the natural night sky.

EVSN - Spooky Season Space Images

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 season images. There will be nebulae cropped with the contrast adjusted just so to reveal witches' hats, and others rotated to reveal ghosts and maybe - I can hope - a goblin or two.

Actual Astronomy - Astronomy Books

Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. [email protected]

The Actual Astronomy Podcast presents Astronomy Books. In this episode we discuss some of the best astronomy books with City Lights Bookstore owner Chris Wilcox. From poetry to the Milky Way we cover our favourite books on the astronomical table.

 

What are some of the titles that you?ve enjoyed and could recommend to our listeners?

* Arthur Koestler: The Sleepwalkers, in which Western civ gets stuck in geocentricity for 1500 years

* Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Some dated conventions, but a fascinating sociological study of avant-garde science. This classic gave us the now-overused term ?paradigm shift.?

* Michael Hoskin: The History of Astronomy: A Very Short Introduction

* Dava Sobel: The Planets

* Leslie C. Peltier Starlight Nights: The Adventures of a Star-Gazer

* Ronald Florence: The Perfect Machine: Building the Palomar Telescope

* Robert Zimmerman: The Universe in a Mirror: The Saga of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Visionaries Who Built It

* Emily Levesque: The Last Stargazers: The Enduring Story of Astronomy's Vanishing Explorers. A young professor?s assemblage of adventures -- her own, plus accounts gleaned from colleagues -- from the days when astronomers would travel to the big, remote observatories to capture their data.

 

What are some popular books on planetary science, astrophysics, and cosmology that are high up on your list of must reads?

* Mike Brown: How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming

* Adam Frank: The Little Book of Aliens

* Philip Plait: Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer's Guide to the Universe

* Becky Smethurst: A Brief History of Black Holes

* Carlo Rovelli: White Holes

What makes a really good observing reference?

* Leslie C. Peltier, in his classic Guideposts to the Stars

* Walter ?Scotty? Houston (his bio reminds us that he was an editor and English teacher by profession)

* Stephen James O?Meara, e.g., his Messier Objects 2nd ed.

* Sue French, in her inimitable continuation of Houston & O?Meara?s Deep Sky Wonders

* Howard Banich (his recent S&T article on M33 was his 33rd column for the magazine, so I hope he eventually pulls his writings and brilliant sketches into a bound collection)

 

What are some other useful books?

* Burnham's Celestial Handbook in three volumes

* Nightwatch (Dickinson, et al.)

* Harrington: Touring the Universe through Binoculars

* Hill: A Portfolio of Lunar Drawings

 

What do you keep handy at your desk?

* Pasachoff: Peterson Field Guide to the Stars and Planets

* Mitton: A Concise Dictionary of Astronomy 

* Edgar: RASC Observer?s Handbook (current U.S. ed.)

* Beckett: RASC 2024 Observer?s Calendar

 

What are some good books to have in the field?

* Rukl: Atlas of the Moon

* Turn Left at Orion (Consolmagno & Davis) 

* The Messier Observer?s Planisphere* from Celestial Teapot   >46-cm diameter

 

What are a few indispensable texts from your collection:

* Swanson: NexStar User's Guide II

* Menard: New Perspectives on Newtonian Collimation

* Brown: All about Telescopes

* Telescopes, Eyepieces, and Astrographs: Design, Analysis, and Performance of Modern Astronomical Optics (Smith et al.)

* Astronomical Sketching (Handy et al.)

 

What books do you dip into when you need a jot between sessions under the stars. 

* Freistetter: The Story of the Universe in 100 Stars

* Any of those splashy coffee table books loaded with astrophotography. While they may not represent visual astronomy's faint, mostly monochrome experience, they are stunning. And, as the imagers tell us, those long integrations and enhanced colors are scientifically useful.

* Cathay LeBlanc & David Chapman:  Mi'Kmaw Moons: Through the Seasons. A picture book about Mi?Kmaq cosmology combines rich information and great storytelling with Loretta Gould?s gorgeous illustrations.

? Many astronomy-related books for kids are too delightful to let the youngsters have all the fun. Plucking a few stars from this constellation: 

* Gaiter: The Mysteries of the Universe A lavish, outward sweeping reference

* McCulley: Caroline?s Comets A sweet, pictorial biography of C. Hershell

* Becker: You Are Light  Spectra are for babies!

* 100 Poems: Outer Space, edited by Midge Goldberg   From the Cambridge series

 

Are there any sentimental books in your library:

* Norton's Star Atlas (Epoch 1950) The stars have processed into a new epoch since these gate-fold pages were bound in boards of blue cloth. So it?s dated, and those boards are a bit warped, but I treasure this volume because it originally belonged to Col. Carl Hill, a kindly next-door elder when I was a kid. He was like a surrogate grandfather and the astronomy mentor who might?ve been had I shown interest at the time. He and his wife sold my folks the land where I grew up (and where I live). He had a backyard pier and enlisted my dad, an amateur machinist, to help him fabricate a wedge. There?s a sort of poignant regret I feel when holding this book.

SETI Live - ?The Big One?: The Most Powerful Marsquake Ever Detected

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 data to understand the phenomena, which led to the recent NASA InSight lander. 

 

Now, a new paper in Geophysical Research Letters explains how the largest recorded seismic event on Mars provided evidence for a different sort of tectonic origin ? the release of stress within the Martian crust.

 

Join communications specialist Beth Johnson as she talks to lead author Dr. Benjamin Fernando about the results of an amazing international collaboration that led to this new discovery.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 707: What Goes Into A Sample Return Mission? Moon & Mars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws9kQ_vkYtM

Streamed live on Feb 5, 2024.

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.

EVSN - Making Anti-Matter? Matter

In this episode, we look at what tree rings can teach us about past earthquakes, and how well machine learning can identify life, like trees, from carbon-rich materials that were never alive to distant galaxies and spinning black holes. We even take a deep dive into anti-matter, but not a literal deep dive? just a conceptual deep dive.

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA Ep. 101: More Stars

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?

So, keen listeners will recall that a magnetar is a type of neutron star, all of which do have strong magnetic fields, but magnetars have crazy strong magnetic fields, sufficient to spaghettify sub-atomic particles and polarize a vacuum if you can believe it ? not to mention understand it.

SETI Live - Unveiling the Future of Amateur Astronomy: Unistellar?s ODYSSEY Telescope

Join us for an exclusive SETI Live event, as we take a first look at the next-generation telescope from Unistellar - the ODYSSEY.

 

First introduced in 2017 with their eVscope, Unistellar has been a prominent collaborator with the SETI Institute since 2019. eVscopes have been used by schools, colleges, and the public to observe exoplanets, supernovae, and asteroids in a truly global network that continues to grow.

 

Dr. Simon Steel, Deputy Director of the Carl Sagan Center, and Dr. Franck Marchis, Co-founder of Unistellar and citizen science director at the SETI Institute, will talk about the technology of the new telescope, insights on how such a telescope is beta tested, and how the ODYSSEY will dramatically impact citizen and amateur astronomer?s contribution to cutting edge scientific research. We?ll take a tour of this beautiful instrument, inside and out, and look at some early results and images. (Recorded 10 January 2024.)

Travelers in the Night Eps. 237E & 283E: Tough Tourist & Born Wild

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:

- Rocky metallic asteroid can stand the heat. A block and a half sized asteroid, 2016 GX221, makes visits to Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter.

- Jupiter and Saturn helped to produce where we live. Our home planet was formed after a period of chaos in the solar system. Today our solar system is a pretty calm place. However, meteorites we find on Earth as well as the cratering we observe on our Moon, Mercury, Mars, and other bodies suggest that our solar system was born wild and stayed that way for a while. There is also the puzzling fact that our sparsely packed inner solar system is very different from the densely packed, close in, planetary systems which have formed about nearby stars.

SETI Live - Out There: The Science Behind Sci-Fi Film and TV with Ariel Waldman

From Oct 31, 2023.

Ask anyone interested in space science, and you will likely also find a person influenced in some way by science fiction, whether they grew up watching Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, watching movies, or reading books. The genre has grown and expanded over the centuries, reflecting and inspiring changes in the world, our technology, and even our dreams of exploration. 

 

Now, Ariel Waldman - filmmaker, explorer, and former NASA advisor - has written an accessible book featuring dozens of interviews that "takes readers on a journey to the farthest depths of space".

Join communications specialist Beth Johnson in conversation with Ariel as they discuss her new book, Out There: The Science Behind Sci-Fi Film and TV. 

(Recorded live on 24 September 2023.)
