Next steps, if we don’t trip first. Hosted by Steve Nerlich.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – How will we find the first evidence of extra-terrestrial life? Well of course, we don’t know – the question is more invitation to review the various options and rank the relative likelihood of those options based on the information we have to hand. So - it’s possible that we’ll first find evidence of intelligent life in the form of an electromagnetic signal of technological origin coming from another star system.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – Are we safe from asteroid impacts now? No, but...

The 365 Days of Astronomy

From Aug 30, 2023. TRAPPIST-1 has held our attention for a long time because it has so many rocky worlds orbiting a star that may allow some of them to have liquid water. The promise of life is too great to ignore, so we turn our most powerful telescopes to this system whenever possible.   Now there’s been a new system on the block. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, has brought us the discovery of a system that is every bit as interesting as TRAPPIST-1.   Get all episodes: Music by Geodesium:   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to...

The 365 Days of Astronomy

From January 9, 2009. As astronomers discovered that we live in a great big universe, they considered a fundamental question: is the Universe the same everywhere? Imagine if gravity was stronger billions of light years away… Or in the past. It sounds like a simple question, but the answer has been tricky to unravel.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: and donate as much as you can!
