AstroMan - D for Dark Sky Protection
The 365 Days of Astronomy
When was the last time you saw the Milky Way? In this episode of Astroman, Exodus Chun-Long Sit explores how light pollution is changing our night skies, affecting wildlife, wasting energy, and limiting our view of the universe. Learn why protecting dark skies matters—and how simple actions can help bring the stars back. “ASTROMAN: the Dark Sky Guardian” is a podcast channel that aims to explore popular science in multiple disciplines and research on interdisciplinary approaches, such as sustainability, dark-sky protection, astrophotography, space exploration, astronomy...

Guide To Space - What Are Fast Radio Bursts? A Big Mystery in Astronomy
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Fraser Cain. From Apr 26, 2017. Here's a big mystery in astronomy: fast radio bursts. Brief shrieks of radio waves coming from space. What are they? Where do they come from? Astronomers have no idea. Team: Fraser Cain - @fcain / frasercain@gmail.com Karla Thompson - @karlaii Chad Weber - weber.chad@gmail.com You might think you’re watching an educational channel, where I explain fascinating concepts in space and astronomy, but that’s not really what’s going on here. What’s actually happening is that you’re tagging along as I learn more and...

Astronomy Cast Ep. 41: The Rise of The Supertelescopes
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by: Fraser Cain () and Dr. Pamela L. Gay () From June 18, 2007. The last decade has been the golden age of astronomy, with new observatories and space telescopes pushing out our understanding of the Universe. We see billions of light years away, watch dynamic events unfold in almost real-time, and see into every corner of the electromagnetic spectrum. But just you wait: things will only get better. Here come the supertelescopes! We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs. Just visit: and donate as much as you...

Travelers in the Night Eps. 897 & 898: Kacper’s Comet & Pandora
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 May 2026. Today's 2 topics: - In 2007 a small icy object moving in the constellation of Ursa Minor crossed the orbit of Pluto at a speed of approximately 4.2 mi/s starting its journey towards the inner solar system. It was between the orbits of Saturn and Jupiter traveling at some 9 mi/s towards the Sun, when my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Dr. Kacper Wierzchoś discovered it on March 3, 2024, while asteroid hunting, in...

NOIRLab - The First Magnetar Progenitor
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Neutron stars, the compact remains of a massive star following a supernova explosion, are the densest matter in the Universe. Some neutron stars, known as magnetars, also claim the record for the strongest magnetic fields of any object. How magnetars, which are a mere 15 kilometers across, form and produce such colossal magnetic fields remains a mystery. New observations by a team of astronomers, including NSF’s NOIRLab’s Dr. André-Nicolas Chené, may shed important light on the origin of these magnetic powerhouses. Using various telescopes around the globe, including the...

UNAWE Space Scoop - Why Does Jupiter Have Bigger Moons Than Saturn
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by our editor, Richard Drumm. Jupiter and Saturn are the gas giants in our Solar System. Ummm… Uranus & Neptune are now called ice giants. But back to Jupiter & Saturn. They are the largest planets, have the most moons compared to the other planets, and if that isn’t cool enough, they’re home to some of the largest moons in the Solar System. Saturn has 280 or more moons in total, a total that seems to be changing daily. Jupiter has over 100 known moons so far. As for me, I don’t even try to keep count any more. Here’s where things get really interesting:...
info_outlineHosted by Tony Darnell.
From September 8, 2023.
There’s no question that humanity is making fast progress in understanding, cataloging and classifying planets around other stars. So far we’ve found over five thousand five hundred of them. But let’s face it, we really want to know, maybe more than anything else, whether these planets have any life on them and whether they are habitable for us to, maybe, live on.
Finding habitable worlds has been a driving passion since we first learned there were other planets out there, and to find them, we are going to need a dedicated instrument that does nothing else but tries to locate and characterize them.
That’s where the Habitable Worlds Observatory comes in. NASA says “HWO is a concept for a NASA flagship mission, as recommended by the 2020 Astrophysics Decadal Survey, that would pursue a breadth of astrophysics goals, including searching for and characterizing potentially habitable planets beyond our solar system.”
