Ask A Spaceman Ep. 252: Why Can’t We Get Free Energy from the Vacuum?
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Dr. Paul M. Sutter. Why does the vacuum of spacetime have energy? How much energy does it have? What prevents us from using it to do anything useful? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman! Support the show: All episodes: Watch on YouTube: Read a book: Keep those questions about space, science, astronomy, astrophysics, physics, and cosmology coming to #AskASpaceman for COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF TIME AND SPACE! Big thanks to my top Patreon supporters this month: Justin G, Chris L, Alberto M, Duncan M, Corey D, Michael P, Naila, Sam R, John...

Astronomy Cast Ep. 277: Orbit
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From October 22, 2012. When an object is orbiting the Earth, it’s really falling. The trick, described in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. There are several different kinds of orbits, and they are good for different reasons. From suborbital jumps to geostationary orbit, time to learn everything there is to know about going around and around and around.

Bigelow, Arizona when she spotted and then reported a bright moving point of light in the night sky to the Minor Planet Center. Given the rate of human caused climate change one has to wonder about the state of our planet in January of 2163 when 2024 ER is predicted to...

Guide to Space - What Comes After James Webb & Nancy Grace Roman?
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From Jun 12, 2018. The Hubble Space Telescope has been in space for 28 years, producing some of the most beautiful and scientifically important images of the cosmos that humanity has ever taken. But let’s face it, Hubble is getting old, and it probably won’t be with us for too much longer. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is in the final stages of testing, and WFIRST (Nancy Grace Roman) is waiting in the wings. You’ll be glad to know there are even more space telescopes in the works, a set of four powerful instruments in design right now, which will be part of the next Decadal...

Exoplanet Radio Ep. 39 - Biosignatures: The Search for Life Beyond Earth
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From Oct 4, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. In recent years, scientists have made great strides in the search for extraterrestrial life. They have discovered thousands of exoplanets. And some of them are located in the habitable zone of their star, which means that liquid water could exist on their surface and is essential for life as we know it. The search for life however, is a little more involved than finding planets, measuring their location and distance around the star and figuring out their location within a habitable zone.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 799 & 800: Nature’s Gateways & Telescope Reborn
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 & June 2024. Today's 2 topics: - The Cosmic Campground International Dark Sky Sanctuary and the Aldo Leopold Gila Wilderness in New Mexico are gateways to nature where man is only a visitor.These New Mexico neighbors give us a sense of wonder, glimpses of history, new knowledge to mitigate the effects of man’s excesses, and many other opportunities we are yet to fully appreciate. - In an astonishing rebirth,...
info_outlineBlack holes come in many sizes. Small, medium, large & extra large. The size of a black hole mostly depends on how massive the star was before it ran out of fuel, exploded as a supernova and collapsed under its own extreme gravity. The more massive the black hole, the stronger and larger its effect on the fabric of space and time.
Here’s the new bit! In a recent study, astronomers found that even tiny black holes have immense power to shape their part of the galaxy. Far more than previously thought. Black holes can rip apart a star that comes too close by. Even the tiniest black holes, known as stellar-mass black holes can do this.
