EVSN - Active Black Hole’s Surge in Brightness Due to Magnetic Flip
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From May 10, 2022. A luminous black hole already classified as an active galactic nucleus brightened suddenly in recent ground and space observations, and the cause may be due to a sudden flip in the magnetic poles. Plus, community science, rockets, Ingenuity, and an interview with Dr. Cathy Weitz from Planetary Science Institute.

Guide To Space - What Will It Take To Stay Healthy In Space? Practical Artificial Gravity
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From Mar 14, 2018. One of the biggest problems of spaceflight is the total lack of gravity. Here are some proposals that could generate artificial gravity through rotating spacecraft.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 771: Comet Tails
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay Streamed live on Nov 8, 2025. With the arrival of the comet 3I/Atlas (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System), the world is getting a crash course in comets, their behavior, and of course their tails. Today we’re going to talk about comets and their tails, why they exist, how they grow, why they can be different colors and how they can be sometimes point AT the Sun. Comets are one of the most animated and ephemeral targets for astronomy. From night to night they can change in shape and color, and every nuance tells us something. In...

Travelers in the Night Eps. 349E & 350E: Trappist-1 Planets & Brute
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. From August 2025. Today's 2 topics: - The Trappist-1 planetary system located about 40 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius consists of a small red dwarf star and 7 Earth sized planets. By carefully studying changes in the planet's transit timings and the shape of the dip in the host star's brightness as each planet transits across it, astronomers have been able to measure the orbital period, radius, and...

UNAWE Space Scoop: Lonely Planet — The Hungriest Exoplanet
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Richard Drumm, our editor. You’ve probably heard of exoplanets. Planets that orbit stars other than our Sun. But did you know that there are objects with a mass similar to a planet that float free in space, that don’t orbit a star? These lonely wanderers are called rogue planets. Recently, a team of astronomers discovered a very special one in the southern constellation Chameleon. The rogue planet is named Cha (for Chameleon) 1107-7626 and is located about 620 light-years away. It has a mass of 5 to 10 times that of Jupiter and is still growing! We've added a...
info_outlineHi everybody, I’m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare. We’ll start by talking about January’s big events, then highlight the naked eye planets, and finish up with the lunar phases, so you can plan ahead better than me.
January 2025 is a PLANETARY month! Mars gets big, Mars gets occulted, Mars gets outshined by Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter, then Venus and Saturn pass right by each other, and a brief but intense meteor shower shows up.
13th - Occultation of Mars - MORE than a close encounter, Mars will be right next to the Moon all night, except for about an hour when the Moon occults Mars. Around Philadelphia, the occultation starts at 9:17pm, when the Moon passes right in front of Mars. This lasts until about 10:32pm, when Mars pops back out on the other side of the Moon.
