Actual Astronomy - OzSky With Clint Reading
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. In this podcast (Episode 519) we talk with a special guest & long-time listener Clint Reading (from Nebraska, formerly from Idaho) about his astro-tourism trips to OzSky which is a biannual event for amateur astronomers from the northern hemisphere to have the opportunity to see the southern skies. We learn how to prepare for an astronomy trip to Australia, what to bring to get the most out of a week under the southern stars and how you can take advantage of these events. This is part of our New Years...

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA Ep. 127: Mystery Physics
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Well… Cheap Astronomy confirms some mysteries are still mysteries! Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is warp drive looking any more possible? Well, no, insofar as it looks about as possible as it ever did, which is to say, it's probably impossible, but at the same time, it's best to never say never. As we've covered before, the nature of space-time precludes the possibility of faster than light travel simply because light travels as fast as it is possible to travel in space-time. Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is X-17? X-17 is a mysterious and somewhat hypothetical...

Deep Astronomy - Discoveries of the Webb Space Telescope: Webb's First Deep Field
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Tony Darnell. From Feb 13, 2025. The deep fields taken by the Hubble Space Telescope are now legendary. Astronomers used the most complicate and expensive instrument ever put into space to stare at nothing, a very risky move, but one that paid off. What happened when we did the same thing with the James Webb Space Telescope? We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 778: Dyson Swarms
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by: Fraser Cain ( ) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay ( ) Streamed live on Jan 5, 2026. Freeman Dyson asked a fascinating question. What would it look like if a civilization was using all the energy coming from their star? And what form would this take? This introduced the concept of a Dyson Sphere, or more realistically, a Dyson Swarm surrounding a star. But if you’re skeptical about the concept, you’re in good company. This show is supported through people like you on Patreon.com/AstronomyCast In this episode, we'd like to thank: Burry Gowen, Eric Lee, Jeanette Wink, Michael...

NOIR Lab - Fast Spinning Asteroids From the Rubin Observatory
The 365 Days of Astronomy
As part of the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory First Look event in June 2025, Rubin announced that it had observed thousands of asteroids cruising about our Solar System, about 1,900 of which have been confirmed as never-before-seen. Within the flurry, a team of astronomers has discovered 19 super- and ultra-fast-rotating asteroids. One of these is the fastest-spinning asteroid larger than 500 meters (0.3 miles) ever found. In this podcast, Dr. Sarah Greenstreet discusses these fast spinning asteroids and what makes the Rubin Observatory ideal for discovering these types of objects. ...

info_outlineGeorge’s Random Astronomical Object presents HD 11397. This Sun-like star might seem ordinary, but it actually contains abnormally large amounts of heavy elements, most notably barium, that it could not have formed itself.
Brief biography: Dr. George Bendo is an astronomer who specializes in studying interstellar dust and star formation in nearby galaxies. He currently works at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester, and his primary role is to support other astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). He has been creating biweekly episodes of George’s Random Astronomical Object since 2019.
