The Last Minute Astronomer - January 2025
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hi 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...

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #114: Making Sense of Complexity
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Why do further way galaxies moving faster mean the Universe is expanding? It is all a lot to take in – not only is farther away stuff moving faster, also the Universe is expanding faster now than it was in the past and there’s standard candles and red-shift and much room for confusion. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is there such a thing as a dead planet? To start with it’s probably unreasonably biocentric to define spherical objects that orbit the Sun and have cleared their orbits, as either alive or dead. We can redefine the question...

UNAWE Space Scoop - Tune in to the Exoplanetary Radio
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Astronomers think that studying the effects of spaceweather and radiation in space will shed more light on exoplanetary atmospheres. You see, spaceweather is what we call the variations in the space environment. Here in our solar system we experience spaceweather as solar wind, solar flares, solar storms, coronal mass ejections from the Sun and even cosmic rays from the rest of the Universe. Did you see the aurora borealis this year? That’s spaceweather! Want to know more? You can visit and . We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to...

Astronomy Cast Ep. 17: Where Does the Moon Come From?
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From January 1, 2007. We take the Moon for granted, but its effect on the Earth is very important; possibly even critical for the formation of life. But where did it come from? Did the Earth and Moon form together? Or did the Earth capture a wayward Moon? Or was there a more catastrophic cause to this lunar mystery?
