Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #111: Practicalities

14 november 2024 | 15 min

Practically speaking.

Hosted by the ever practical Steve Nerlich.

Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is in situ resource utilization really worth the trouble?

Here at Cheap Astronomy we tend to say disparaging things about in-situ resource utilization, but usually in response to suggestions that if we want to land on Mars all we have to do is make rocket fuel out of in situ resources to take off again. While ostensibly true, a substantial amount of infrastructure would be needed to both source and refine the ingredients to make that fuel and you’d probably want to experiment with a few different methods, expect a few false starts and have a few trial runs before you’d actually put people on your launch vehicle.

Dear Cheap Astronomy – What exactly is the space economy?

The Space Economy is defined by the OECD as the full range of activities that create value and benefits to human beings in the course of exploring, researching, understanding, managing, and utilising space. As we’ve previously discussed both on this and the fabulous Science on the ISS podcast, exploring, researching and understanding space are important activities– but if we are really going to move forward, more of the managing and utilizing space need to come into play.

NOIR Lab - Quasar In The Early Universe

9 november 2024 | 10 min

Observations using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) confirm astronomers’ expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam’s exceptionally wide field of view and special filters played a crucial role in reaching this conclusion, and the observations reveal why previous studies seeking to characterize the density of early-Universe quasar neighborhoods have yielded conflicting results. In this podcast, Dr. Trysten Lambert discusses how DECam enabled astronomers to reach this conclusion.

Bios:

Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.

Dr. Trystan Lambert’s research career has focused exclusively on extragalactic observational astronomy, exploring both low and high redshift regimes. During his M.Sc. at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, he contributed to the completion of the 2MASS Redshift Survey and developed the galaxy group catalog. He then moved to Chile, where he pursued my Ph.D. at Universidad Diego Portales, studying galaxies and quasars in the epoch of reionization using ALMA and DECam.

Dr. Lambert is currently a Research Associate at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. He spends his days developing tools to identify large-scale structures in redshift surveys, particularly in the Wide Area VISTA Extragalactic Survey (WAVES). Identifying these large-scale structures allows us to map the distribution of dark matter in the local universe and provides a crucial test bed for current cosmological theories.

Last Minute Astronomer - November Episode

2 november 2024 | 15 min

I’m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare. Let’s start by talking about the naked eye planets visible this month, the lunar phases, and then the meteor shower and other events, so you can plan further ahead than me.

Similar to October, in November Saturn and Jupiter are the steady highlights above, Venus shines brilliantly after sunset, and rocks fall from the sky.

A highlight:

17th - 18th – Leonid Meteor Shower – This annual, weak (10-15 per hour) meteor shower can have some wonderful years. This year is good because the waxing crescent Moon will already be set early in the evening, making it clear of lunar light pollution into the morning, the best time to view it.

Some advice for watching:

Find a dark location and lie down in a reclining chair or hammock
Look around Leo’s head. That is where the radiant is - where the meteors will appear to be coming from.
The strategy to observe this year is to get out there whenever you can, but the later you stay up, the more you’ll see, since the radiant will be higher and you’ll be closer to the peak.
Check the weather to see if the skies will be clear
Adapt your eyes to the dark by staying away from light sources or using a red light if you need to look at a star chart or not trip over something.
You never know when a nice meteor will burn up, to take a nice look at the sky in general, noting that the meteors will appear to go from the radiant in the head of Leo and outward.

Dr. Jarita Holbrook continues with her story of the AAS’ Astronomy Oral History Project.

Dr. Holbrook (Harvard Smithsonian Ctr. for Astrophysics, Univ. of Edinburgh, Univ of the Western Cape) continues with her story of the AAS’ Astronomy Oral History Project. You’ll learn about her favorite interviews, and she gives me some advice for future podcast episodes.

H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.

Cheap Astronomy - Implausible Engineering Ep. 2: Embracing Your Inner Robot

23 oktober 2024 | 15 min

Robots Like Us...

Implausible Engineering – Episode 2a: Brain in a robot

In a step towards technoevolution and potential immortality that some future generation of humanity will develop the ability to transfer their brains into robot bodies and hence have prolonged if not immortal lives. Various complications arise in trying to engineer this. Assuming you have all the vital veins and arteries attached to tubes which feeds a nutrient solution in and out with some kind of hemoglobin carrier in it that donates oxygen and removes carbon dioxide – all you are really doing is replacing the life support systems previously provided by a human body. But your brain is still a brain.

Implausible Engineering – Episode 2b: Evolving into robots

As we like to discuss on Cheap Astronomy us humans, like the dinosaurs and the trilobites and the blue-green algae are just steps in a meandering evolutionary pathway to nowhere particular. It’s not like the blue-green algae, trilobites or dinosaurs ever aspired to be something better, it’s just that some individuals with certain traits were more successful than others so they had more progeny and so on.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 291E & 292E: Tiny Atira & Ethics and Mars

20 oktober 2024 | 6 min

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:

- Atira, named for the Pawnee goddess of Earth and the Morning and Evening Star orbits the Sun inside of our path. Atira, the first of this type of asteroid, was discovered by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research Program using telescopes in New Mexico. Atira is a stony object more than a mile in diameter, spins on it's axis of rotation once every three hours, has an irregular shape, and orbits the Sun once every 233 days. This asteroid was named Atira who is a goddess of the Native American Pawnee tribe. She is the wife of the creator god, Tirawa [Tire a wa]. She is the goddess of Earth and the Morning and Evening star.

- Should martian microbes be sacrificed to human space exploration?

It is unlikely that any living organism could survive being blasted from the surface of a planet, travel through interstellar space on a meteoroid, survive a fiery entry through another planet's atmosphere, and be viable when it reaches the surface. However, humans are breaching this interplanetary barrier. We have robots operating and are planning to land colonists on the red planet. This situation has prompted doctoral student Daniel Helman of Prescott College to ask the question "If Martian microbial life is discovered, is it ethical for humans to colonize Mars even if that means spoiling the environment of the microbes?"

Travelers in the Night Eps. 289E & 290E: Murky & Egg Rock

13 oktober 2024 | 6 min

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:

- It was murky cloudy night on Mt. Lemmon where I was trying to find Earth approaching objects with the Catalina Sky Survey 60 inch telescope. At about 1AM another hole in the clouds opened and I could see stars on the all sky video camera. On this fourth attempt, one set of images showed a bright rapidly moving object. Followup observations by my teammate Greg Leonard using the Catalina Sky Survey 40 inch telescope next door and two different observers in Japan provided the data which allowed the Minor Planet Center to calculate an orbit, estimate a size, predict its path in the sky, and give it the name 2016 VA. Twenty hours after I discovered it, Dr. Gianluca Masi using the Virtual Telescope Project facility 56 miles south of Rome, Italy, repeatedly imaged 2016 VA as it made an 11 minute passage through the Earth's shadow. He used these images to make a remarkable video of this tiny asteroid as it passed through the Earth's umbra. It was the fastest asteroid that he had ever tracked. Fortunately a bit after this video, 2016 VA missed the Earth by about 59,000 miles while traveling at a speed of 13 miles per second relative to us. In 2024 it will once again come near to both the Earth and our Moon.

- Egg rock's chemical composition and visual appearance is so different from other native Mars rocks that scientists have concluded that it is a meteorite which came from the molten core of an ancient asteroid.

Actual Astronomy - The Observer’s Calendar For October

3 oktober 2024 | 28 min

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

The Observer’s Calendar for October 2024 and Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas on Episode 450 of the Actual Astronomy podcast. I’m Chris and joining me is Shane. We are amateur astronomers who love looking up at the night sky and this podcast is for everyone who enjoys going out under the stars.

- Oct 1 - Zodiacal light is visible again this month. Actually, Alister and I observed it back on Sept. 8th, so it does become visible even in late summer. Look towards East or just north of east and it’s a pyramid shaped pillar of light pointing somewhat towards M45, the Pleiades star cluster.

- Oct 2 - New Moon! Also an annular solar eclipse on this day…but only for extreme southern tip of South America and center of Pacific…let us know if you see this!

- Oct 5 - Venus as close as 3° to the Moon in Evening Sky

- Oct 10 - First Quarter Moon

- Oct 14th - Saturn Pairs as close as 0.1° of Moon and Occultation for parts of Africa…so if anyone is there…hint hint…we have a friend visiting Africa for astronomy who will join us in coming weeks.

- Oct 15th - Neptune just over ½° from the Moon and occultation for other regions including Africa.

- Oct 17 - Full Moon - Largest in 2024 - I don’t know if it’s super or not…large tides this week too.

- Oct 19 - Moon Near Pleiades this evening

-Oct 20/21 - Orionid meteors peak but Moon interferes but it pairs with Jupiter for a nice sight, as close as 0.6°

- Oct 24th - Last Quarter Moon

Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas -

Best night here will be Oct 15th when it passes Messier 5, a Globular Star Cluster in Serpens. Comet is forecast to be at Mag. 3 that night!

EVSN Special - Quasi Moon Naming Contest!

27 september 2024 | 29 min

Hosted by Pamela Gay with guest Latif Nasser.

https://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau2406/

The International Astronomical Union and WNYC’s award-winning science podcast, Radiolab, invite people worldwide to take the unique opportunity to suggest a name for one of Earth's quasi-moons, 2004 GU9. Submissions are open until 30 September and the winning name will receive official recognition by the IAU.

https://radiolab.org/moon-official-rules/

For millennia, people across the globe have built deep connections to objects in the night sky, assigning them names and stories imbued with their cultural heritage and understanding of the world. Naming campaigns highlight these connections and provide the global public with a chance to have their creativity embedded in the cosmos.

Earlier this year, Latif Nasser, co-host of the science podcast Radiolab ( https://radiolab.org ), petitioned the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to name a quasi-moon of Venus after noticing a typo on a map of the Solar System. The saga was documented on a Radiolab episode and tweet thread from Nasser that went viral, opening the door for listeners to learn more about this fascinating class of objects. The episode established a connection between the IAU and Radiolab, which is produced by WNYC Studios [1]. The organisations have now teamed up to invite a global audience to engage with this field of astronomy through a new naming contest for one of Earth’s quasi-moons.

Quasi-moons of a planet are asteroids that orbit the Sun and follow a path similar to that of the planet. Due to the relative motion of the two objects, it appears as though the asteroid is orbiting the planet from the perspective of an observer on the planet’s surface. If a quasi-moon is near the Earth, it might seem as if we have a new moon, even though it is hardly affected by the Earth's gravitational pull.

By taking part in “Name a Quasi-Moon!”, people worldwide will have the chance to leave their mark on our sky with official recognition from the world’s authority responsible for assigning names to objects in our Solar System and beyond. By involving the IAU’s wide international network, the collaboration will reach new audiences, ensuring our sky will be more representative of the world’s diverse ideas, cultures, perspectives, and ways of knowing.

H’ad Astra Historia - Ep. 105: Astronomy Oral History Project, Part 1

26 september 2024 | 38 min

Today’s guest:

Dr. Jarita Holbrook (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarita_Holbrook, Harvard Smithsonian Ctr. for Astrophysics, Univ. of Edinburgh, Univ. of the Western Cape) tells the story of the Astronomy Oral History Project. You will also hear some great advice for navigating graduate school and your post-doc years! (Hint: learn to write effective grant applications) Also: https://www.youtube.com/user/astroholbrook

H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 287E & 288E: Sensing A Comet & Close One

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:

- More than 400 years ago Galileo Galilei expanded human vision using a telescope to view the cosmos. Since then humans have extended their senses to view the Universe in x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, radio, and other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum not accessible to our senses. In a pioneering effort, Ekaterina Smirnova has employed the spectroscopy, magnetometry, and molecular data collected by the Rosetta spacecraft to create watercolor paintings, sculptures, a musical collaboration, and an augmented reality project to create new art forms.

- My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny had no way of knowing that the fast moving point of light that she had just discovered would create such a stir. Rose sent in her discovery and followup observations to the Minor Planet Center where astronomers calculated that her discovery would make a very close approach to Earth about two days later and gave it the name 2016 RB1. More than two dozen observatories around the world tracked 2016 RB1 as it came towards us.

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #109: Planets

12 september 2024 | 15 min

Things that orbit the Sun and clear their orbits.

Dear Cheap Astronomy – What happens when worlds collide?

The outcome of a collision between two planets depends on the speed of the collision, the angle

of the collision and the relative masses of the two bodies and their composition – think rocky

planets versus gas giants for example. A small planet approaching a large planet slowly might

get tidally stretched and break up into pieces, but a fast moving one might impact before there’s

been time for gravitational stretching to break it up.

Dear Cheap Astronomy – Why is Mars’ sky red?

A good place to start is to think about the colours we are familiar with in Earth’s sky. In the

middle of the day, the overhead Sun is a bright white disk you can’t look at directly and the rest

of the sky is blue.

This is because most of the visible light from the Sun passes straight through the atmosphere,

which is transparent to those wavelengths, except at the very short end – so rather than passing

straight through, photons in the blue and violet parts of the visible spectrum are scattered –

meaning they are deflected off their straight line path and bounce around a lot, although most

eventually reach the ground.

Last Minute Astronomer - September Episode

7 september 2024 | 15 min

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 to rise at sunset, and set at sunrise, with best viewing around midnight.

17th - Just Barely Partial Lunar Eclipse - The Moon passes into the shadow that Earth is casting into the solar system, but only a little. Times here are Eastern Daylight, so adjust for your location, assuming you are in the Americas, Africa, or Europe. The penumbral stage will be almost not noticeable, however the hour of partiality will be. At 10:12pm the Moon will start to graze the dark inner portion of the Earth’s shadow called the umbra. About half an hour later it’ll be at maximum eclipse, with 8% of it covered up. Another half hour later, the dark shadow will no longer be noticeable, and the moon will be in the penumbra until 12:47am.

8:41pm - Penumbral Eclipse Starts

10:12pm - Partiality Starts

10:44pm - Maximum Eclipse (8%)

11:15pm - Partiality Ends

12:47pm - Penumbral Eclipse Ends

The September 2024 Observer’s Calendar on Episode 446 of the Actual Astronomy podcast. I’m Chris and joining me is Shane. We are amateur astronomers who love looking up at the night sky and this podcast is for everyone who enjoys going out under the stars.

* Sept 1 - Zodiacal light becomes visible this month

(Mercury is also paired with the Moon in morning, but might be tough)

* Sept 3 - New Moon

* Sept 5 - Mercury at Greatest Elongation 18-degrees from Sun in Morning Sky

* Sept 8 - Saturn at Opposition

* Mars 0.9 degrees from OC M35 after midnight

* Sept 9 - Mercury 0.5 degrees North of Regulus in morning sky

* Sept 10 - Antares Occultation by the Moon for places like Australia and Indonesia

* Sept 11 - First Quarter Moon

* Sept 17 - Saturn Occulted by the Moon - Visible barely here just about 5:30am so you want to ideally be west of the Saskatchewan/Alberta Border…straight through NA.

* Sept 18 - Partial Lunar Eclipse - Best visible from Brazil and region but most of Eastern NA and Western Europe and Africa

* It is a small partial..just a little chunk goes through the Umbra

* BUT YOU SHOULD GO LOOK

* BECAUSE

* At 1:15 am Saskatchewan Time…so that’s 3:15 am EDT the Moon Occults Neptune for most of us in NA except southeastern reaches of USA.

* Sept 21 - Neptune at Opposition

* Sept 22 - Equinox

(Moon 0.2-degrees from Pleiades)

* Sept 25 - last quarter Moon

Travelers in the Night Eps. 285E & 286E: Sporadic Geysers & Visitors From Afar

25 augusti 2024 | 6 min

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:

- Using a small telescope or a set of binoculars you can see Europa for yourself as a small moving point of light circling the giant planet Jupiter. More than 400 years after Galileo Galilei discovered this seemingly small dead world the Hubble Space Telescope spotted geysers erupting from its south polar regions. Recently, over a 15 month period, the Hubble was able to observe 10 transits of Europa across the face of Jupiter. On three such occasions plumes were seen to be erupting from this small moon.

- A pair of comets visiting our neighborhood are discovered in a matter of 4 days.

One of the perks of being an asteroid hunter is having a comet named for you. To do this you must be the first to discover it as a moving point of light in the night sky and at the same time recognize that it is a comet by observing the coma and tail which are names for the clouds of gas and dust that surrounds it. After being on the lookout for a comet for sometime, my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny discovered two of them within a 4 day period of time. Both of them C/2016 T1 (Matheny) and C/2016 T2 (Matheny) are likely to be first time visitors to the inner solar system. These two comets have quite different paths which are both inclined at large angles to the paths of the planets about the Sun. In addition, both of them are traveling at very close to the escape velocity from our solar system and have uncertain orbital periods around the Sun which are likely to be thousands of times the age of the Universe.

Last Minute Astronomer - August Episode

3 augusti 2024 | 15 min

What is gracing the August 2024 skies? A rare conjunction of Jupiter & Mars, great conditions for the annual Perseid Meteor Shower, and all the naked-eye planets visible.

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 the big events for the month, then highlight the naked eye planets, and finish up with the lunar phases, so you can plan ahead better than me.

THE BIG EVENT!

11th – 12th – Perseid Meteor Shower – EXCELLENT year for the Perseids, given the first-quarter Moon sets before midnight. In decent skies, you could watch 60 meteors per hour, and you should be able to see some very bright ones here and there the week before and after. The strategy to observe this year is to get out there whenever you can, but the “wee hours” and the pre-dawn morning on the Monday 12th is when you’ll see the most. The shower is usually technically active from mid-July to late August, so you may see some Perseids in the days leading up to and after the peak as well. Remember, you’re seeing the bits of dust left over from Comet Swift-Tuttle burning up as they crash into the atmosphere at 37 miles per second.

Some advice for watching:

- Find a dark location and lie down in a reclining chair or hammock.

- Look toward Perseus. In the NE, it rises throughout the night until sunrise where it will be almost directly above. That is where the radiant is - where the meteors will appear to be coming from. But you should basically just look UP.

- Check the weather ahead of time to see if the skies will be clear.

- Adapt your eyes to the dark by staying away from light sources or using a red light if you need to look at a star chart or not trip over something.

- Make a game of it! Get the kids counting and do a scientific meteor count (IMO).

The Cosmic Savannah - Ep. 59: Construction of the SKA Commences!

27 juli 2024 | 53 min

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

The 5th of December 2022 sees the commencement of construction of the long-awaited Square Kilometre Array (SKA)!

We are honoured to be joined by the SKA Observatory Council Chairperson, Dr. Catherine Cesarsky to talk about this momentous occasion.

The SKA Observatory (SKAO) is a next-generation radio astronomy facility that will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics. Formally known as the SKA Observatory, the SKAO is an intergovernmental organisation bringing together nations from around the world. The observatory consists of the SKAO Global Headquarters in the UK, the SKAO’s two telescopes at radio-quiet sites in South Africa and Australia, and associated facilities to support the operations of the telescopes.

The SKA telescopes:

Composed of respectively hundreds of dishes and thousands of antennas, the SKAO’s telescopes will be the two most advanced radio telescopes on Earth. Together with other state-of-the-art research facilities, the SKAO’s telescopes will explore the unknown frontiers of science and deepen our understanding of key processes, including the formation and evolution of galaxies, fundamental physics in extreme environments and the origins of life.

Dr. Cesarsky was appointed Chair of the SKA Board of Directors in 2017, and her distinguished career spans some of the biggest international astronomy projects of recent years. As Director-General of the European Southern Observatory she oversaw the Very Large Telescope, the start of construction of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and launched the Extremely Large Telescope project, one of the key astronomical facilities of the coming decades along with the SKA. Among her other prestigious roles, Dr Cesarsky was President of the International Astronomical Union and High Commissioner for Atomic Energy in France. She is known for her successful research activities in high energy and in infrared astronomy and is member or foreign member of science academies over the world, including Europe (Academia Europaea), France (Académie des Sciences), United Kingdom (Royal Society), United States (NAS), Sweden (Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences).

Actual Astronomy - Stars: A Month by Month Tour of the Constellations with Mike Lynch

18 juli 2024 | 49 min

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

Mike Lynch grew up in Richfied, Minnesota. After two years at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities he transferred to the University of Wisconsin in Madison and earned his B.S. degree in Meteorology. Shortly after he was hired as a broadcast meteorologist at WCCO Radio in Minneapolis and has been there for over 30 years. Mike has covered all kinds of weather from deadly tornados to record cold snaps. In fact on February 2nd, 1996, he broadcasted from Tower, Minnesota when the temperature dropped down to 60 below zero, an all time record low for the state of Minnesota.

Mike’s other passion has been astronomy. He built his first telescope when he was 15 and for over 40 years has been teaching classes and putting on star parties through community education, nature centres, and other organisations throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. His goal is to help people make the stars their old friends.

From 2004 to 2007 Mike wrote Astronomy/Stargazing books and WCCO Minnesota Weather Watch in 2007 and writes a weekly Starwatch column for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and more than two dozen other newspapers across the United States. His most recent book is “Stars: A Month-by-Month Tour of the Constellations!”

Travelers in the Night Eps. 281E & 282E: Close Passes & Tilted History

14 juli 2024 | 6 min

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 a recent 3 night observing run my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny discovered 4 asteroids which can come to less than one half the Moon's distance from us. Interestingly one of them passed about 25,000 miles over the South Pole 2 days after Rose discovered it. Rose's four close approaching asteroids are small ranging in size from 15 to 60 feet in diameter. None of them are big enough to reach the Earth's surface and make a crater. However, the largest is about the size of the one whose air blast shock wave injured nearly 1500 people when it exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013 .

- Seasons are created by the fact that the Earth's axis of rotation is currently tilted 23 1/2 degrees relative to our path around the Sun. The slight out of roundness of the Earth's orbit combined with a 41,000 year cycle in its 3 degree axis of rotation wobble can cause the Earth's climate to change on very long time scales. Turns out that these astronomical cycles are likely to be the drivers of where you are from and where you live.

The Last Minute Astronomer - July Episode

6 juli 2024 | 12 min

Hosted by Rob Webb.

July’s fireworks include Saturn coming back around closer to being an evening planet, Mercury and Venus dancing low in the evenings, and some magic between the Moon and Spica.

1st - Waning Crescent Moon is just above Mars in the AM

3rd - Up and to the left of Jupiter in the AM

6th - Above Venus, to the left of Mercury, NNW just after sunset

7th - Above Mercury, NNW just after sunset

24th - To the right of Saturn, after 11pm, waning gibbous

25th - To the left of Saturn, after 11pm, waning gibbous

30th - Above Mars and Jupiter, ENE after 2am, waning crescent

31st - Left of Jupiter, ENE after 2am, waning crescent

July 13th – Lunar Occultation of Spica – Not so common to be able to see a star stop shining and then start back up again…sort of. Check https://is.gd/july2024spica for timings for your area, but the gist is that North and Central America, particularly on the Eastern side, will be able to watch Spica wink out as the dark side of the Moon crosses in front of it. As an example, if you live near Harrisburg, PA, look WSW for the Moon after 11pm. Right around 11:24pm Spica will disappear. Unfortunately, this happens only about 10° above the horizon, leaving the reappearance invisible to us. Reappearance will be visible before the Moon hits the horizon if you live approximately west of the Mississippi.

From Aug 12, 2022.

The International Space Station has been continuously inhabited for more than 20 years but its end is coming.

- But how do you bring down a spacecraft the size of a football field?

- How do you squeeze maximum use out of the orbiting laboratory while it's still up there?

- What are Space companies like Axiom, Blue Origin and SpaceX planning in this arena of commercial spaceflight?

- What will happen to the falling space debris?

H’ad Astra Historia - ‘A Distinguished Career’ Part 2

29 juni 2024 | 47 min

Hosted by Loretta Cannon.

Today’s guest: Dr. Steve Maran (retired from NASA and AAS https://aas.org/stephen-p-maran) shares stories with us from his almost 70 years working, and having fun, in astronomy.

H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 279E & 280E: From Luna & Dangerous Duo

16 juni 2024 | 6 min

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:

- More than 240 Lunar meteorites have been found in the Dhofar region of Oman, on the LaPaz Icefield of Antartica, and other locations on the Earth's surface. These space traveling rocks were blasted from the Moon's surface by the impact of asteroids and comets which accelerated them to speeds greater than the lunar escape velocity of 1.5 miles per second. Subsequently these interplanetary travelers in the night orbited the Sun for an extended period of time before entering our atmosphere and falling to Earth. We know these meteorites are from the Moon because they contain mixtures of atoms which are found on the Moon but not in Earthly rocks.

- Recently in the space of 28 hours my Catalina Sky Survey teammates Rose Matheny and Carson Fuls discovered two Potentially Hazardous Asteroids to add to the list of the more than 1700 which asteroid hunters have discovered. Fortunately, none of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids are currently on a collision course with planet Earth.

Exoplanet Radio - Ep. 19: Direct Imaging Exoplanets In Our Telescopes

11 juni 2024 | 5 min

From Aug 14, 2023.

One of the reasons we’ve created Exoplanet Radio is that Exoplanets are awesome. The idea that there are planets in orbit around stars outside our solar system - and even rogue planets that do not orbit a star meandering through interstellar space - is one that cannot help but capture our imagination.

The thing is, finding them is very hard. They are small and dim compared to stars so we need to rely on indirect methods to see them like looking for dips in brightness or a wobbling star, or, in the case of rogue planets with no stars, tiny flashes of light from background stars. But ideally, we’d like to see them directly, in our telescopes. Is that possible? You probably guessed I wouldn’t have brought up the question if the answer wasn’t ‘yes’.

So far, we have discovered over 5,000 exoplanets, using transit, radial velocity and microlensing methods. But there is another way to find exoplanets that has only recently been possible: by directly seeing them with our eyes. This is unimaginatively called the direct imaging method, and has revealed some amazing results.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 277E & 278E: Rose Rules & Disintegrating Comet

9 juni 2024 | 6 min

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 approaching objects on the Minor Planet Center's NEO Confirmation Page. For the next several days telescopes around the world obtained additional data on Rose's discoveries. When the dust settled 29 of Rose's discoveries were proved to be Earth approaching objects, 32 are other asteroids which don't come near enough our home planet to be interesting, and the rest need more data to figure out what they are.

- Comets are made up of organic materials and ices of various substance which are left over from the formation of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago. When the gravity of a nearby star or other object changes one of these dirty snowball's orbit, its path can bring it into the inner solar system and thus near enough for the Sun to affect it and for us to study what is going on.

NOIRLab - The First Year Results From DESI

8 juni 2024 | 9 min

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, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.

Dr. Stephanie Juneau is an astronomer at NSF NOIRLab, and a data scientist for the Astro Data Lab. She obtained her BSc and MSc in physics from the Université de Montréal, and her PhD from the University of Arizona in 2011. She then moved to CEA-Saclay in France, where she started as a Marie Curie fellow before becoming staff researcher in 2012. She moved back to Tucson, Arizona in 2016 to join the scientific staff at NSF NOIRLab.

Dr. Juneau’s expertise lies primarily in the field of supermassive black hole and galaxy evolution. She is interested in answering questions about the growth of galaxies and that of the black holes that reside in their centers, as well as the interplay between the two. Her work brings together multiwavelength observations, close comparison with numerical simulations, and ranges from detailed case studies to statistical analysis of large datasets. As a member of the DESI and Euclid collaborations, she is particularly excited about leveraging millions of galaxy and quasar spectra to further our understanding of the black hole-galaxy connection and expand to larger scales.

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:

- Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in Chile have discovered a rocky Earth-like planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our Sun. The planet named Proxima b is about 1.3 times more massive than Earth, orbits its dim red star every 11 days, and may always keep the same side towards its sun. Attention grabbing is the fact that Proxima b is at the right distance from its sun to allow for liquid water on its surface.

- In the southwest, the life giving monsoon rains occur in July and August, divide the observing year into two halves, and give asteroid hunters a chance to do major equipment maintenance and upgrades. My Catalina Sky Survey teammates Richard Kowalski and Rose Matheny started the new observing season after the monsoon weather began to taper off using our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon and 30 inch Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow respectively. Richard and Rose were given a three night clear break in the weather during which they were able to discover a dozen new Earth approaching asteroids.

NOIRLab - The Origins Of Castaway Gamma Ray-Bursts

11 maj 2024 | 7 min

Gamma-ray bursts are some of the most powerful explosions in the universe. Short gamma ray bursts are caused by the merger of two neutron stars. However, not all short gamma-ray bursts are associated with galaxies. In this podcast, Brendan O’connor, a graduate student at George Washington University, described recent research into the host galaxies of short gamma-ray bursts.

Bios:

- Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona..

- Brendan O'connor is a 6th year PhD student in the Department of Physics at The George Washington University working in collaboration with scientists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the University of Maryland, College Park. His research is in the field of time domain and transient astrophysics. In particular, he is interested in the formation and evolution of high energy transients and their progenitors, and uses a variety of optical, infrared, and X-ray observatories to study transient phenomena across the electromagnetic spectrum.

SETI Live - Electric Mayhem: TRAPPIST-1e's Atmospheric Erosion

8 maj 2024 | 36 min

Recorded 21 March 2024.

The TRAPPIST-1 planetary system has fascinated both scientists and the public since the discovery of the last five of its seven terrestrial worlds in 2017. With four of those planets in the so-called habitable zone, where water can be liquid, the system has become a favorite target of ground- and space-based telescopes alike, especially with regard to the potential for harboring life.

However, TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star, cooler and smaller than our own Sun, leading to concerns about the ability of these tidally locked worlds to develop and maintain their own atmospheres. Now, in new research published in The Astrophysical Journal, a team of researchers has discovered that TRAPPIST-1e's atmosphere is being stripped by strong electric currents, quashing some hopes that the world is habitable.

Communications specialist Beth Johnson is joined by co-author Dr. Cecilia Garraffo from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics to talk about this disappointing news and its impact on the search for life beyond Earth, as well as her work in establishing AstroAI, "a cutting-edge research institute dedicated to advancing astrophysics through the application of artificial intelligence."

SETI Live - SETI Artist In Residence Program: Xin Liu’s Inward Expeditions

24 april 2024 | 50 min

Nimbly combining the tools of art and science, SETI Institute Artist in Residence Xin Liu expresses what it means to be human through a diverse body of work that includes frost-coated sculptures, a bubbling fountain of crude oil, and a performance in outer space.

In a new body of sculptures exhibited at Pioneer Works in New York City, the artist considers her fears around having her eggs frozen, creating warped, skeletal, frost-covered sculptures that propose a human body transformed through a cryogenic process. Through art, Liu centers the human experience in the face of technologies and developments motivated by efficiency, productivity, and optimization.

Art21 is the world’s leading source to learn directly from the artists of our time. A nonprofit organization, the mission of Art21 is to educate and expand access to contemporary art, producing documentary films, resources, and public programs. Learn more at http://Art21.org

Join SETI Artist in Residence Program Director Bettina Forget as she chats with Emma Nordin from Art21, premieres Xin Liu's video, and then speaks with her about this latest show and its scientific concepts.

Actual Astronomy - Globular Star Clusters with Peter Jedicke

18 april 2024 | 67 min

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

Our guest today is Peter Jedicke who was National President of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada from 2004 to 2006 and is now a Fellow of the RASC. He is also Honorary President of the RASC London Centre. His favourite astronomical topic, both astrophysically and as an observer, is globular clusters and co-authored the RASCC Observer’s Handbook section on Star Clusters. Peter co-authors the Star Clusters section of the RASC Observer's Handbook. Lastly, Peter helped start the list of asteroid names with Canadian connections which will be our topic today but….

Let’s chat about globular star clusters since, as you pointed out Peter, it's best to focus on a narrow topic as the show time whips by!

* Helen B. Sawyer [Hogg], 1947. Out of Old Books-Catalogues of Nebulous Objects in the Eighteenth Century. Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Vol. 41, p. 265-273

Also: Helen B. Sawyer [Hogg], 1948. Astronomical Journal, Vol. 53, p. 117

* * What are Star Clusters?

* - 2 types: OC and GC what is the diff…maybe we’ll do Open Clusters another time.

* - Age & Number of stars which equate to variations in CLs + magnitude, colour + number.

* Where do they come from

* So what is a globular star cluster exactly?

* Why old-rich-symetrical-live in galactic halo?

* What are the differences in concentration and spectral classifications?

* What is it you enjoy about globulars?

* Variable stars in globular clusters

* Helen Sawyer Hogg & my one summer working as a "research assistant" at Western U.

* Something about where globular clusters fit in with cosmology. Age & role in galaxy mergers.

* How many have you observed?

* Where have you traveled to observe them?

* Which are your favourites?

NOIRLab - The Heaviest Black Hole Pair Ever Found

13 april 2024 | 12 min

Using archival data from the Gemini North telescope, a team of astronomers have measured the heaviest pair of supermassive black holes ever found. The merging of two supermassive black holes is a phenomenon that has long been predicted, though never observed. In this podcast, Dr. Roger Romani discusses the discovery of this system and what we can learn about massive black hole pairs from this system.

Bios:

- Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.

- Dr. Roger W. Romani is a member of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University, where he has been Professor of Physics for over thirty years. His research interests center on black holes and neutron stars, which he and his research group study with a combination of telescope observations, from the ground and from space, and theoretical modeling.

The Last Minute Astronomer - April Episode

6 april 2024 | 12 min

April 2024: Finally the month of the eclipse! A wonderful experience for North America, the Lyrid Meteor Shower, and lots of planetary action makes April of 2024 one of THE best months in a LONG time.

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.

Last Quarter Moon – 1st (Visible midnight into the morning)

Morning Crescents (look East in the AM)

New Moon – 8th (darkest skies)

Evening Crescents (look West after Sunset)

First Quarter Moon – 15th (Visible until midnight)

Evening Gibbous (Mostly lit, after Sunset)

Full Moon – 23rd (Visible all night)

Waning Gibbous (Mostly lit, rises later at night)

5th - 6th – CLOSE ENCOUNTER – Moon, Mars, Saturn – Get out between 5:30am and 6:30am and get a very clear look at the ESE horizon. During that hour, you should be able to see the Moon as a VERY thin crescent, with Saturn bright and 14 ̊ to the left of the Moon, with Mars up and to the right of Saturn a little bit. Then, on the 6th, the Moon will move to be below both Saturn and Mars, making a thin triangle.

8th – TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE – We’re going to skip over that, not because it’s not important. I’ve been preparing for it for 6 years now. But we’ve had PLENTY of coverage of it so far and there are better places to give you more information that you’re looking for. In fact, I’ll link some videos I’ve created or participated in for better info.

10th – CLOSE ENCOUNTER – Mars, Saturn – Get out again between 5:30am and 6:30am and get a very clear look at the ESE. Mars and Saturn will be as close as they’re gonna get, about ½˚ apart, with Mars on top. It’ll be tough to see, all that more rewarding when you do.

10th – CLOSE ENCOUNTER – Moon, Jupiter – Get out after sunset, look W, and the Moon will be only 4˚ to the right of Jupiter.

22nd – LYRID METEOR SHOWER – At only 10-20 meteors per hour, it is a minor shower, and we have essentially a Full Moon to get massively in the way of observing. The shower is greatest on the 22nd, but you might see some on the 21st and 23rd as well. Just remember each meteor is a piece of debris left over from a comet, and we’re crashing into it at over 100,000 miles per hour, which crushes the atmosphere it hits, heating it up and causing the bright flash. There is no real best time to see these this year, but you never know when you’ll see something awesome.

Some advice for watching:

- Find a dark location and lie down in a reclining chair or something that insulates you from the ground.

- Check the weather to see if the skies will be clear

- Adapt your eyes to the dark by staying away from light sources or using a red light if you need to look at a star chart or not trip over something.

23 mars 2024 | 59 min

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

Today we are re-running Episode 11 from all the way back in Season 1!

Jacinta takes us on a tour of her homeland, into the Australian bush, and chats about pathfinders, precursors and the exciting collaborations between South Africa and Australia!

First, we hear from Dr. Ivy Wong, a researcher at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Perth, about large surveys of neutral hydrogen gas in galaxies and the results shared at the 12th PHISCC (Pathfinders HI Science Coordination Committee) Conference. Neutral Hydrogen atoms produce radio emission at a wavelength of 21cm or a frequency of 1420 MHz. This emission is commonly referred to as HI and it is the raw fuel of star formation.

We are then joined by newly capped Dr. Brenda Namumba from the University of Cape Town. She tells us about her exciting work using the pathfinder to MeerKAT, the KAT-7 telescope.

Finally, Jacinta sits down with Professor Peter Quinn, the Director of ICRAR. They chat about the the incredible growth of radio astronomy in both South Africa and Australia over the recent years, and the enormous collaboration opportunities the SKA is creating between the two countries!

Actual Astronomy - Deep Sky Eye Observatory with Tim Doucette

21 mars 2024 | 57 min

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

Bio: Tim Doucette

Tim believes that through education and awareness of the Universe, the world can become a better place. Through his passion for Astronomy and his photography, Tim shows us the beauty of the heavens. He was born blind with congenital cataracts. Later these cataracts were surgically removed along with the lenses of his eyes, Tim's unique eye condition leaves him legally blind but able to perceive colors in the Universe through a telescope that very few others can see.

Shortly after joining the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Tim discovered his unique eye condition. He set up an observatory in Moncton, New Brunswick where he found a love for sharing the night sky with others.

He and his family currently reside in his hometown of Quinan, NS and own and operate a successful astro tourism business. Working with the municipality and the Starlight Foundation (backed by UNESCO and the IAU), the area has received the first “Starlight Tourist Destination and Reserve” designation in North America.

* Welcome to the show Tim!

* How did you get into astronomy? AND Can you share with us how you see the Universe differently?

* What was your first instrument / telescope(s)? Tasco

* Are the skies dark where you are in Quinan, Nova Scotia?

* Tell us a little about your astro tourism business? (I saw the photos online and it looks like business is booming)

* How did you get into running your business?

* I was viewing the site, cabin, camp sites.

* What telescopes & instruments?

* How do you like the SW 16-inch dob?

* What eyepieces work best for you?

SETI Live - The Mysterious Ocean of Saturn’s Moon, Mimas

20 mars 2024 | 32 min

Recorded 8 February 2024.

Join us for an exciting SETI Live where we’ll explore the wonders beyond Earth. We’re excited to have Dr. Valéry Lainey, a renowned researcher from the Paris Observatory in France, as our guest. Dr. Franck Marchis, our Senior Astronomer, will be guiding the conversation, sharing insights from the universe. It’s set to be an engaging event, and we hope you’ll be part of it!

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Journal, Valery Lainey and his team have unveiled a remarkable discovery about Saturn’s moon Mimas. Once thought to be a cold, solid body of ice and rock, Mimas now appears to harbor a vast global ocean beneath its icy crust. This revelation comes after a meticulous analysis of Mimas’s orbit, as observed by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, which showed unexpected wobbles that suggest the presence of an under-ice ocean.

For years, the scientific community was skeptical about the possibility of an ocean within Mimas, mainly because the expected surface deformations were absent. However, Lainey’s research, based on recent simulations and precise orbital measurements, suggests that an ocean could exist without leaving visible marks on the moon’s surface. This finding not only reshapes our understanding of Mimas but also opens new avenues in the search for habitable environments beyond Earth.
