Exoplanet Radio - TESS's Breakthrough Discovery of Long-Period Exoplanets TOI 4600 b and c
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Fron September 7, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. Human beings have discovered over five thousand five hundred exoplanets. Over 80 percent of them have orbits shorter than 50 days which would place them at over twice as close to their star as Mercury is to the Sun. Some are even closer. Recent observations from TESS however have found one with an orbit of 82 days and another measured in hundreds of days.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 739: Drones!
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay Streamed live January 9, 2025. From little Ingenuity to the future Firefly and all our Earth Science fliers, let's look at the buzzy scientists. NASA’s Mars Ingenuity helicopter showed us how wonderful a flying science platform can be on another world. Soon there’ll be a helicopter flying on Titan, but there are many other flying robots that’ll be helping us with all our science needs.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 775 & 776: 3 Close Approaches & Naming Asteroids and Comets
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. From December 2023. Today's 2 topics: - During a six hour period three small space rocks passed through the Earth-Moon system. At discovery 2023 TO4 was in Pegasus, 2023 TD7 was in Aries , and 2023 TQ3 was in Eradanus. - Every year a significant number of comets and asteroids are discovered by amateur astronomers with modest equipment.Their reward is satisfaction and the right to name their discovery. We've...

NOIRLab - The Fastest Feeding Black Hole
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies, and modern telescopes continue to observe them at surprisingly early times in the Universe’s evolution. It’s difficult to understand how these black holes were able to grow so big so rapidly. But with the discovery of a low-mass supermassive black hole feasting on material at an extreme rate, seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, astronomers now have valuable new insights into the mechanisms of rapidly growing black holes in the early Universe. In this podcast, Hyewon Suh and Julia Scharwächter discuss the discovery...

EVSN - End-Permian Extinction Lasted 10X Longer on Land Than in Water
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From April 27, 2021. The biggest mass extinction event on Earth occurred at the end of the Permian period, resulting in the extinction of 95% of marine life and 80% of terrestrial life. Now, scientists have found that the terrestrial portion of the event lasted nearly ten times as long as the ocean version. Plus, a spaghettified star, the search for Moon Trees, all about Mars, and new works on dark matter and dark energy.

April Jubett - Listen to the Universe
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From Jun 5, 2024. NASA is famous for beautiful space images, but did you know you can listen to them? Go behind the scenes with the team that creates “sonifications,” translations of data into sound, and learn how meaningful they are to people who are blind or low-vision. "Listen to the Universe" - Audio-described version for better accessibility Organization: NASA/ Marshall Space Flight Center/Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory/Chandra X-ray Center & NASA's Universe of Learning Bio: Many collaborators at NASA/MSFC/SAO/CXC poured their heart and soul into this...

Travelers in the Night Eps. 773 & 774: Discovery and Recovery & Loss and Gain
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. Today's 2 topics: - New observations linked with discovery observations 10 years earlier provide a significant improvement in the precision of our knowledge of 2013 TG6’s orbital elements and thus its position on the sky well into the future.It is important for asteroid hunters to keep track of small asteroids like this one to make sure sure that their path doesn’t change to make them a threat as they pass other objects...

Today's 2 topics:
- Asteroid hunters were able to discover a small Earth approaching asteroid after 57 nights of continuous rain and clouds.
- Although small space rocks pose no threat to humans, they are an interesting part of our environment, offer a chance for asteroid hunters to develop their tracking skills, and occasionally provide an opportunity for a meteorite hunter to touch an object from outer space.
