The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. In this podcast (Episode 519) we talk with a special guest & long-time listener Clint Reading (from Nebraska, formerly from Idaho) about his astro-tourism trips to OzSky which is a biannual event for amateur astronomers from the northern hemisphere to have the opportunity to see the southern skies. We learn how to prepare for an astronomy trip to Australia, what to bring to get the most out of a week under the southern stars and how you can take advantage of these events. This is part of our New Years...

The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Well… Cheap Astronomy confirms some mysteries are still mysteries! Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is warp drive looking any more possible? Well, no, insofar as it looks about as possible as it ever did, which is to say, it's probably impossible, but at the same time, it's best to never say never. As we've covered before, the nature of space-time precludes the possibility of faster than light travel simply because light travels as fast as it is possible to travel in space-time.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is X-17? X-17 is a mysterious and somewhat hypothetical...

Deep Astronomy - Discoveries of the Webb Space Telescope: Webb's First Deep Field show art Deep Astronomy - Discoveries of the Webb Space Telescope: Webb's First Deep Field

The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by Tony Darnell. From  Feb 13, 2025. The deep fields taken by the Hubble Space Telescope are now legendary.  Astronomers used the most complicate and expensive instrument ever put into space to stare at nothing, a very risky move, but one that paid off.   What happened when we did the same thing with the James Webb Space Telescope?   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 can!

The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by: Fraser Cain ( ) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay ( ) Streamed live on Jan 5, 2026. Freeman Dyson asked a fascinating question. What would it look like if a civilization was using all the energy coming from their star? And what form would this take? This introduced the concept of a Dyson Sphere, or more realistically, a Dyson Swarm surrounding a star. But if you’re skeptical about the concept, you’re in good company.   This show is supported through people like you on Patreon.com/AstronomyCast  In this episode, we'd like to thank: Burry Gowen, Eric Lee, Jeanette Wink, Michael...

The 365 Days of Astronomy

As part of the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory First Look event in June 2025, Rubin announced that it had observed thousands of asteroids cruising about our Solar System, about 1,900 of which have been confirmed as never-before-seen. Within the flurry, a team of astronomers has discovered 19 super- and ultra-fast-rotating asteroids. One of these is the fastest-spinning asteroid larger than 500 meters (0.3 miles) ever found. In this podcast, Dr. Sarah Greenstreet discusses these fast spinning asteroids and what makes the Rubin Observatory ideal for discovering these types of objects.  ...

Today’s guest:  Dr. Jamie Rankin, Voyager Deputy Project Scientist, talks with us today about all things Interstellar. She is also an Associate Research Scholar and Lecturer in Space Physics at Princeton University. NASA-JPL continues to communicate with both Voyagers 1 and 2 as they explore interstellar space. Closer to home, IBEX and three soon-to-be-launched new spacecraft study the protective bubble of our star system from the inside, while also investigating our star’s ever-changing effect on Earth.

 

H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.  

 

Podcaster: 

Loretta Cannon (an AAS affiliate via Rose City Astronomers) is a science-and-word-nerd who really likes the stars. She quite enjoys working as HAD’s podcaster, bringing astronomy stories to you.
