Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA 131: What’s The Point? show art Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA 131: What’s The Point?

The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Cheap Astronomy asks what's the point and then gets some sunshine. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Did the Universe start from a single point? This hypothetical concept is commonly stated in pop science blogs and we are guilty of doing the same here at Cheap Astronomy. However, it’s not necessarily correct. As with most things relating to the Universe, all we can really talk about is the observable Universe. All evidence available does suggest that it emerged from a point source 13.8 billion years ago, but if the actual Universe is bigger than the observable Universe –...

The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by Dr. Paul M. Sutter. What do we find when we push the James Webb Space Telescope to its limits? Are Little Red Dots newborn galaxies or old black holes? What are they teaching us about the early Universe? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!   Support the show: All episodes: Watch on YouTube: Read a book:   Keep those questions about space, science, astronomy, astrophysics, physics, and cosmology coming to #AskASpaceman for COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF TIME AND SPACE!   Big thanks to my top Patreon supporters this month: Justin G, Chris L,...

Hosted by: Fraser Cain () and Dr. Pamela L. Gay () Streamed live on Mar 9, 2026. You think the Sun is a terrifying ball of fire and fury? Wait until you learn about today’s topic: Wolf-Rayet stars! These are massive, dying stars hurling their outer layers out into space before detonating as supernovae. Big stars live brief lives, and Wolf-Rayet stars are the punctuation mark we see before things go supernova.    Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Science: Yinuo Han (Caltech), Ryan White (Macquarie University); Image Processing: Alyssa Pagan (STScI) Learn more here:   This...

The 365 Days of Astronomy

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration collected information on hundreds of millions of galaxies across the Universe using the U.S. Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera, mounted on the U.S. National Science Foundation Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at CTIO, a Program of NSF NOIRLab. Their completed analysis combines all six years of data for the first time and yields constraints on the Universe's expansion history that are twice as tight as past analyses. In this podcast, Dr. Yuanyuan Zhang discusses the Dark Energy Survey results and how they inform the next steps in dark...
