Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #109: Planets
The 365 Days of Astronomy
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’...

Exoplanet Radio Ep. 25: Trillions of Worlds Without Stars
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From August 23, 2023. Astronomers estimate that there are more free roaming planets in our galaxy than there are planets in orbit around stars. In fact, rogue exoplanets - planets with no star whatsoever - far outnumber all other planets in our galaxy, by 20 times. Trillions of worlds wandering alone.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 32: The Search For Neutrinos
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Trillions of neutrinos are produced in our Sun through its nuclear reactions. These particles stream out at nearly the speed of light, and pass right through any matter they encounter. In fact, there are billions of them passing through your body right now. Learn how this elusive particle was first theorized and finally discovered. I don’t want to alarm the listeners but there is a flurry of particles from the Sun passing through each and every one of you right now. A lot of particles. In fact, there are 50 billion solar neutrinos passing through every one of us every second. Don’t worry,...

Travelers in the Night Eps. 749 & 750: Earth Glow & Asteroid Slam
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: - In 1972 Apollo 16 astronauts took an ultraviolet image of the Earth from the Moon which shows that like the Sun, the Earth too, has a faint corona of gas surrounding it. Scientists are just beginning to explore how Earth's glow relates to our weather and climate. - Humans are slamming projectiles into space rocks. These experiments will give us the know how to deal with a dangerous space rock which has...

Last Minute Astronomer - September Episode
The 365 Days of Astronomy
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...

EVSN - Quasi-Satellite of Earth Has Lunar-Like Material
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.

Awesome Astronomy - Should We Worry About Asteroids?
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Paul Hill & Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host. Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Dec 9, 2022. At AstroCamp. 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 there other places in the solar system where these fragments of the early solar system roam? And no talk on asteroids would be complete without...

info_outlineFrom Jan 27, 2022.
Scientists using the Murchison Widefield Array in Australia recently discovered an extremely bright source of radio waves, releasing bursts of energy three times an hour. That timing makes the object behave unlike anything else seen to date, leaving the research team with a new mystery to unravel. Plus, everything else is about water today, all over the solar system, and we present this week’s What’s Up segment.
