Last Minute Astronomer - November Episode
The 365 Days of Astronomy
I’m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare. Let’s start by talking about the naked eye planets visible this month, the lunar phases, and then the meteor shower and other events, so you can plan further ahead than me. Similar to October, in November Saturn and Jupiter are the steady highlights above, Venus shines brilliantly after sunset, and rocks fall from the sky.

George’s Random Astronomical Object #136: Barium

Awesome Astronomy - Predicting Supernovas
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Ralph Wilkins hosts. Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Oct 21, 2022. This show is all about Betelgeuse and supernovas (supernovae? Let's call the whole thing off). What will happen to Betelgeuse? How bright will it get? When will it go supernova? Will we get to see it? How do we predict supernovas? A new study points to a rapid dimming (like the one we saw in 2019!) just before it obliterates itself in a violent release of energy that will make it brighter than anything else in the night sky. But please do help us out by subscribing to the...
