Astronomy Cast Ep. 790: Meteorites From Other Worlds
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by: Fraser Cain ( ) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay ( ) Streamed live April 17, 2026. Even though humanity has returned samples from a fraction of the worlds in the solar system, the cosmos has delivered many more without us having to lift a finger. Meteorites. We have meteorites from the Moon, Vesta and even Mars! What have we learned about these rocks from other worlds? Space missions to other worlds cost millions to billions of dollars, and if we want to know exactly where space rock samples come from, we need to spend the big bucks for sample return. But, if it's good enough to know "this...

Some binocular astronomy targets: - M40 - 9.6 Magnitude 1.7’ This is a pair of faint stars located in Ursa Major. They are a tough find in binoculars, and you will be challenged to split them with binoculars. In telescopes, they appear to be an identical pair of stars and easy to split even at low power. - M108 -...

Guide To Space - Bringing Mars To Earth
The 365 Days of Astronomy
The Plans For a Mars Sample Return Mission. Hosted by Fraser Cain. From Aug 28, 2019. One of the great accomplishments of the Apollo missions was to bring home hundreds of kilograms of lunar rock. Suddenly, geologists had a lifetime’s worth of lunar samples captured from several different spots across the Moon. These rocks and dust have been under continuous analysis since the Apollo 11 astronauts came home over 50 years ago. And they’re still making discoveries. Scientists have samples of the Sun’s solar wind, particles from a comet’s tail, a few grams from an asteroid, with...

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA # 133: Why It’s Always C
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Cheap Astronomy investigates why light moves at light speed in a vacuum. Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Shining a light! Dear Cheap Astronomy – Why does a photon travel at speed c, part1 It may sound a bit strange to ask why light travels at the speed of light, but that’s because c isn’t really the speed of light – it’s really a measure of the relationship between distance (or space) and time. It's become customary to call c the speed of light, but in reality light moves at different and slower speeds through air, water or glass, it only moves at c in a vacuum. Dear Cheap Astronomy...

info_outlineEach week, when we set off to do this show, we start with one core idea: We want to tell you what is new in space and astronomy… and remember Earth is a planet too. When we select stories, we try to find the ones we’re excited to talk about over coffee, or the ones we know we will be sharing randomly with strangers who make the mistake of asking, “What do astronomers do?” We are here, week after week, to inflict space on others, and we hope that when we do you will return the favor and inflict this show on others. (This episode was originally released on YouTube June 24, 2023.)
