Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA # 113: The Planets
The 365 Days of Astronomy
We’ve plundered Earth, what’s next? Dear Cheap Astronomy – If we did colonize the Solar System, what would we do with the different planets? It remains to be seen if we will spread out across the solar system. While we starting to feel more confident about avoiding a mass extinction asteroid strike, a super-volcano eruption could just as easily end civilization as we know it. There’s also the more mundane scenario of where our population keeps growing, we run low on resources and then fight a bunch of wars over what’s left, pretty-much trashing what’s left of the ecosystem in the...

Part 3 – SKAO Construction Commencement Ceremony
In the third and final part of the SKAO Construction Commencement Ceremony series, Jacinta sits down with Professor Phil Diamond, the Director-General of the SKAO to discuss his thoughts and feelings around the construction commencement ceremony in Australia and on the future of the project as a whole.
Professor Phil Diamond has been a strong supporter of the SKA (Square Kilometre Array) since it was first proposed in the early 1990s and officially joined the project in October 2012. He has led the project through its various design stages up until this point where construction is finally commencing.
In this episode, Prof. Diamond shares his experiences with the site selection, his thoughts on the commencement ceremony as well as insights into the intricate design of the “Christmas tree” antennas of the SKA-Low Telescope. Join us for this behind-the-scenes look at the SKA project!
