Deep Astronomy - Jobs In Astronomy: Do You Really Need a Degree?
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Streamed live on Feb 2, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. It's not surprising that there's a lot of interest in the topic of getting a good job in astronomy. Every time I mention in on our podcast or in a stream., there are lots of responses and questions. We also live in a time where the value of a college degree is under great scrutiny. Are they worth the money they cost to get? Is the value a good return on investment? What sorts of jobs can one get with a degree versus without one? Let's discuss this on our first Astronomy Coffee Hangout in quite a while. ...

Guide To Space - Venus Could Have Supported Life For Billions Of Years
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From Sep 24, 2019. First Habitable Planet In The Solar System? After decades of research, including multiple landers and orbiters, science can definitively say: Venus sucks. Seriously, that place is the worst, with its boiling temperature, intense pressure, sulfuric acid rain, and more. But was it always this bad? According to new research from NASA and various universities in Sweden and the US, Venus might have actually been the first habitable world in the Solar System. And it might have maintained a reasonable climate for billions of years, finally rolling over into a...

Astronomy Cast Ep. 751: Vacuum Energy
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Streamed live on Apr 7, 2025. Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay. Even empty space isn’t empty. It’s filled with the quantum fluctuations of spacetime itself. Which can be measured with famous experiments like the Casimir Effect. There is a surprising amount of energy in space itself, which has led to some interesting theories about how the future of the Universe might evolve. You can't get something from nothing but sometimes that nothing is something you can get something from. SUPPORTED BY YOU This Episode is made possible thanks to our Patrons on Patreon.
