EVSN - Io & Juno Begin to Part Ways
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From May 8, 2024. In February, on the closest approach, NASA's Juno spacecraft was within 930 miles of the closest moon Io’s surface. Since then, Juno’s orbit has been shrinking, bringing the mission closer to Jupiter and away from the circling Galilean moons. Io and Juno have parted ways, and Juno is now snuggling down into tighter orbits around her Jupiter.

Actual Astronomy - Street Astronomy
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. In 2017 Bill Green brought his telescope to one of Philadelphia's most crowded and light polluted corners and has had a line up at his telescope ever since. An optical Engineer by trade Bill carries on in the tradition of John Dobson & teaches people how to enjoy the night sky and his organization Street Astronomy has groups in Philadelphia, Brussels and Berlin.

SETI Live - Unveiling the Secrets of Enceladus
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Recorded 28 March 2024. Join us for a live discussion with senior planetary astronomer Dr. Franck Marchis and planetary scientist Beth Johnson as they delve into the thrilling search for life on Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus. Drawing on recent findings highlighted by Universe Today and ESA, Franck and Beth will explore the significant implications of a single grain of ice potentially holding evidence of life and why Enceladus stands as a top target for future explorations by the European Space Agency. Discover how ESA's ambitious mission plans aim to investigate the habitability of ocean...

Exoplanet Radio - Life in the Dark: How Moons of Rogue Planets Could Harbor Life
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From August 8, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. In our galaxy, there are many planets that wander alone in the dark, without a star to orbit. These rogue planets could have formed from the same material that makes stars, or they could have been kicked out of their original star systems by gravitational interactions. Some of these rogue planets could have moons which remain in tow, and these moons could be more than just cold and barren rocks.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 719: Galaxy Series - Spiral Galaxies
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Streamed live on Apr 30, 2024. Our galaxy series continues, on to spiral galaxies. In fact, you’re living in one right now, but telescopes show us the various shapes and sizes these galaxies come in. Thanks to JWST, we’re learning how these spirals got big, early on in the Universe. This video was made possible by the following Patreon members: Jordan Young BogieNet Stephen Veit Jeanette Wink Siggi Kemmler Andrew Poelstra David Truog Brian Cagle Ed David Gerhard Schwarzer THANK YOU! - Fraser and Dr. Pamela We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support...

Travelers in the Night Eps. 273E & 274E: Neighboring World & Coming Out Of Monsoon
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: - Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in Chile have discovered a rocky Earth-like planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our Sun. The planet named Proxima b is about 1.3 times more massive than Earth, orbits its dim red star every 11 days, and may always keep the same side towards its sun. Attention grabbing is the fact that Proxima b is at the right distance from its sun to...

NOIRLab - The Origins Of Castaway Gamma Ray-Bursts
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Gamma-ray bursts are some of the most powerful explosions in the universe. Short gamma ray bursts are caused by the merger of two neutron stars. However, not all short gamma-ray bursts are associated with galaxies. In this podcast, Brendan O’connor, a graduate student at George Washington University, described recent research into the host galaxies of short gamma-ray bursts. Bios: - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.. - Brendan O'connor is a 6th year PhD student in the Department of Physics at The...

EVSN - Supervolcanoes Remain Active Post-Eruption Longer Than Thought
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From September 16, 2021. Research into the Toba caldera and its super-eruption 75,000 years ago shows that magma continued to flow out of the volcano for thousands of years after the main eruption event. Plus, magma and volcanoes throughout our solar system as well as our weekly What’s Up segment.

Today's 2 topics:
- In a dance of unequal partners the Earth and Moon orbit a common center of gravity which itself travels about the Sun. Leading and trailing the moon's twisted path by 60 degrees, are the L4 and L5 Lagrange points, where gravitational forces create a bowl in space time in which an object will remain until it is disturbed.The discovery of two large ghostly neighbors approximately 65,000 by 45,000 miles in size at the L4 and L5 sites approximately 250,000 miles from both the Earth and Moon verifies theoretical predictions.
- Space is not all that far away. If a powerful solar eruption in 2012 had happened a week earlier, the blast of radiation would have caused widespread power blackouts disabling everything that plugs into a wall socket as well as the water and sewer systems which rely on electric pumps.
