Exoplanet Radio - Life in Terminator Zones
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From September 12, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. Based on our experience here on Earth, we know life here to be tenacious and ubiquitous. Even in the harshest climates, if we look hard enough, we can usually find some sort of life there. We are hoping the same is true on worlds around other stars, and recent research has begun looking into the question of whether life on other worlds could exist in the most inhospitable environs: the terminator zone of tidally locked planets.

NOIR Lab - The Largest Radio Jet In the Early Universe
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Making use of the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, astronomers have characterized the largest-ever early-Universe radio jet. Historically, such large radio jets have remained elusive in the distant Universe. In this podcast, Dr. Anniek Gloudemans discusses how this object was discovered, the follow up observations and what we have learned about radio jets in the early Universe. Bios: - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Anniek Gloudemans is a postdoctoral fellow at...

February 2025 is a phenomenal continuation of January’s planetary-ness! You’ll get chances to see all the planets before going to bed and a conjunction of Mercury & Saturn.
Hi everybody, I’m Rob, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare. We’ll start by talking about this month’s big events, then highlight the naked eye planets, and finish up with the lunar phases, so you can plan ahead better than me.
LUNAR CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
The Moon will be traveling across the sky as normal, passing by some planets at particular times.
1st - 2nd - Saturn has dipped below Venus in the sunset sky by about 12°, and a very thin crescent Moon joins in on the 1st, within 3° of Venus. Then, on Feb 2nd, the Moon, Venus, and Saturn make a string of objects just after sunset in the SW.
6th - Find the Waxing Gibbous Moon just about 5° above bright Jupiter moving West throughout the night, setting just before 3:30am.
9th - The Moon will start out the night just 2˚ from Mars, moving further away throughout the night, setting around 6am.
