Guide To Space - Project Artemis: NASA's Plans To Return To The Moon By 2024
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Fraser Cain. From May 21, 2019. On Monday, May 13, 2019, NASA declared: “We are going to the Moon to stay” by 2024. It’s an exciting announcement; the return to a place humans haven’t set foot on in more than 45 years. A serious goal that will test the ability of technology and engineering, as well as the bravery of the men and women who will carry out this task. But we’ve also heard announcements like this before, many times. How will the mission come together? What are the risks? What’s new this time? We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of...

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA Ep. 132: Mining Again
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Bringing it home. Cheap Astronomy digs in to asteroid mining. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Are rubble pile asteroids easier to mine? Rubble pile asteroids are a collection of rocks that have accreted together under their mutual gravity, but the object they form isn’t massive enough for gravity to compress it into one unified object. Instead, the rocks that gather together remain as individual rocks. So, from a mining perspective there’s an advantage in that you can just pick up those individual rocks without needing drilling or explosives. Dear Cheap...

Astronomy Cast Ep. 787: Evolved Stars (They're not dead yet!)
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Hosted by: Fraser Cain ( ) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay ( ) Streamed live on Mar 16, 2026. Main sequence stars spend most of their time being… normal. Fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. Producing radiation. But as their stockpiles of hydrogen run out they switch to other fuels, starting to climb the ladder of the periodic table of elements. And this is when things get weird. As we get more and more observations of the cosmos, our understanding gets more detailed. In this episode we look at all the ways a star can die and the updates that we've learned in the past 20 years of Astronomy...

Streamed live on Feb 16, 2026.
Pulsars are dead stars and fascinating in their own right, but astronomers can use their predictable rotation for exploring the cosmos in a series of amazing ways. We can detect gravitational waves, navigate the solar system, test general relativity and find exoplanets. Pulsars are the time keepers of the sky, with their precise ticking allowing researchers to track gravitational waves, find exotic planets, and study weird relativistic effects. Come learn about how pulsars can be used to explore our universe.
