Awesome Astronomy - March Part 1: Paranal Problems: Light Pollution at the VLT
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Paul Hill and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host. Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. It looks as though the European Southern Observatory is caught in an American light pollution pincer…starlink above and now the threat of an American industrial complex as a neighbour. Is this the end? We have eclipse news, launch round up and the usual inane chatter from Jeni & Paul.

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.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 18: Black Holes Big & Small
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From January 8, 2007. We’re finally ready to deal with the topic you’ve all been waiting for: Schwarzschild swirlers, Chandrasekhar crushers, ol’ matter manglers, sucking singularities… You might know them as black holes. Join us as we examine how black holes form, what they consume, and just how massive they can get.

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...

From Dec 30, 2022.
We say farewell to NASA's Insight mission on Mars. This lander spent 6 years on the Martian surface examining the interior of the planet. It discovered that Mars is not geologically dead as we previously thought. It discovered that Mars has a larger core than we thought, its magnetic field was stronger than we thought and the crust is thinner. And in typical NASA fashion, it made us all sad to think of the little fella dying in the cold Martian dirt. The heartless swines!
