EVSN - Free-flowing Water On Ancient Mars? Not So Fast!
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From August 4, 2020. Join us today as we talk about newly released research that suggests the waters on ancient Mars were subglacial and not free-flowing. Also, a black hole goes dormant and star formation goes wild. Meanwhile, computer models show that unequal neutron stars colliding may cause a big “bang” that can be detected on Earth.

Exoplanet Radio - TESS's Breakthrough Discovery of Long-Period Exoplanets TOI 4600 b and c
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Fron September 7, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. Human beings have discovered over five thousand five hundred exoplanets. Over 80 percent of them have orbits shorter than 50 days which would place them at over twice as close to their star as Mercury is to the Sun. Some are even closer. Recent observations from TESS however have found one with an orbit of 82 days and another measured in hundreds of days.

NOIRLab - The Fastest Feeding Black Hole
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies, and modern telescopes continue to observe them at surprisingly early times in the Universe’s evolution. It’s difficult to understand how these black holes were able to grow so big so rapidly. But with the discovery of a low-mass supermassive black hole feasting on material at an extreme rate, seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, astronomers now have valuable new insights into the mechanisms of rapidly growing black holes in the early Universe. In this podcast, Hyewon Suh and Julia Scharwächter discuss the discovery...

EVSN - End-Permian Extinction Lasted 10X Longer on Land Than in Water
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From April 27, 2021. The biggest mass extinction event on Earth occurred at the end of the Permian period, resulting in the extinction of 95% of marine life and 80% of terrestrial life. Now, scientists have found that the terrestrial portion of the event lasted nearly ten times as long as the ocean version. Plus, a spaghettified star, the search for Moon Trees, all about Mars, and new works on dark matter and dark energy.

info_outlineHosted by Loretta Cannon for the AAS-HAD.
Today’s guest: Dr. Linda Spilker (JPL Fellow and Sr Research Scientist: https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/Spilker/ ) talks to us about the Voyager mission. She was there for the launch and each planetary flyby!
H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.
Loretta Cannon (an AAS affiliate via Rose City Astronomers) is a science-and-word-nerd who really likes the stars. She quite enjoys working as HAD’s podcaster, bringing astronomy stories to you.
- NASA’s Voyager HOME page: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/voyager
- Voyager Mission Overview: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/voyager/mission-overview/
- Voyager Mission Status: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/voyager/where-are-voyager-1-and-voyager-2-now/ This page has a table that shows (in real time) elapsed mission time and the distance each spacecraft has traveled (distance from Earth or the Sun). During the Spring (for folks in the northern hemisphere) the distance from Earth will be decreasing; this is normal because the Earth moves around the Sun each year.
- Voyager as seen in NASA’s Eyes on the Solar System:
https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-system/#/sc_voyager_1
This page is a real treat! You can ‘see’ the spacecraft’s location in real time, or you can move it backwards to watch its travels since 1977, and so much more.
