Guide To Space - Dark Energy Seems To Be Changing Over Time

Guide To Space - Dark Energy Seems To Be Changing Over Time
From February 5, 2019. Astronomers working with the NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton have developed a technique to watch quasars and track the expansion of the Universe over the last 9 billion years. What they found is that the mysterious dark energy that’s currently accelerating the expansion of the Universe doesn’t appear to be a fixed amount. It’s changing, and appears to be increasing over time. If true, it’s a groundbreaking discovery in cosmology, and it could just fortell the end of the Universe.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 162: Edwin Hubble
From November 2, 2009. You might know the name “Hubble” because of the Hubble Space Telescope. But this phenomenal observatory was named after one of the most influential astronomers in modern history. Hubble discovered that galaxies are speeding away from us in all directions, leading to our current understanding of an expanding Universe. Let’s learn about the man behind the telescope.

The Cosmic Savannah - Mini #007: Beyond the Zone of Avoidance
Hosted by Tim Roelf. This week’s mini episode features PhD candidate Sambatriniaina Rajohnson, of the University of Cape Town’s Astronomy department. She explains part of her work trying to advance our understanding of the large scale structure of the universe. Using the radio telescope MeerKAT, she plans on observing these structures in a region known as the Vela supercluster. This all part of her contribution to the Galactic Plane Survey (GPS). She describes some of the challenges she faces in studying the region of space hidden by the Milky Way – the formidable Zone of Avoidance.

Weekly Space Hangout - Volcanism on Venus & Ice on Mars with PSI’s Megan Russell

Weekly Space Hangout - Volcanism on Venus & Ice on Mars with PSI’s Megan Russell
Host: Fraser Cain ( )Special Guest: This week we are very pleased to welcome Megan Russell ( ) from the Planetary Science Institute to the WSH. Since starting at the Planetary Science Institute in March, Megan has gone from exploring volcanism on Venus to assisting in the search for ice on Mars. She is currently a Science Team Member and on the operations team for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Shallow Radar (SHARAD) experiment, and a System Analyst with the Colorado Shallow Radar Processing System (CO-SHARPS) team. Megan is also working on a Mars Subsurface Water Ice Mapping project. After completing her BSc in Space Science at York University, Megan moved to Vancouver to work at PhotoSat, an Earth remote sensing company, as a Project Manager/Satellite and GIS Data Consultant. She then completed her MSc in Geophysics/Planetary Science at UBC with Dr. Catherine L. Johnson and worked as a teaching assistant and research associate in the department. Megan's past research experience has involved delving into the world of volcanism on the planet Venus via geophysical investigations. She used observations collected from orbit during the Magellan mission (1990-1994) to help determine characteristics about the surface and subsurface, and tie this into the planet's evolution. To accomplish this, she used radar surface images, radar altimetry and high-resolution elevation maps created from stereo radar photos. You can learn more about Megan and her research by visiting her PSI website: Regular Guests: Dr. Nick Castle ( ) C.C. Petersen ( & & ) This week's stories: - Mars is coming out of conjunction. - More information on Perseverance. - Water rules on Europa. - William Shatner flies to space. - LUCY launches! - Exoplanets discovered by their auroras!

Q&A - Are We Alone?

Q&A - Are We Alone?
From July 24, 2014. This episode won a Silver Communicator award for 365 Days of Astronomy. Today in Q&A I’m going to tackle (or at least try to tackle) the biggest question there is: Are We Alone? Well, that’s the biggest question in science that I can think of anyway. So what’s the answer? Well, the short answer is “We don’t know.” We have only one place that we know has life and we’re standing on it. Earth. We have a dataset of one point. Easy to graph, huh? But let’s take a few minutes to think about that one point and examine it closely. It’s all we’ve got, so what else are we gonna do? We don’t have dozens of data points, but we do have this one and all the scientists in the world are studying it!

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #74: The Big Questions

Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #74: The Big Questions
Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Dear Cheap Astronomy – How long did the Universe take to complete the periodic table? So, this is really a question about nucleosynthesis, which began with the Big Bang and continues today in stars – and on a small scale in human-built laboratories. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is Interstellar travel really out of the question? Our current understanding of physics suggests that traveling to the nearest star within a human life time is pretty much out of the question. Regardless of what type of engine you use – even approaching, let alone passing the speed of light puts you at risk of destroying your spaceship through collisions with just specks of cosmic dust.

Folklore - Cuoi, the Man on the Moon

Folklore - Cuoi, the Man on the Moon
Hosted by Avivah Yamani. Once upon a time, in a village in Vietnam, there was an orphan boy named Cuoi. He was clever and kind. He did woodcutting for a living and he always helped others in the village when they were in need or had trouble. One day, when Cuoi went to the forest to cut down some trees, he found a cave and spotted four tiger cubs sleeping. He looked around and saw that the four cubs had been left alone by their mother. Seeing this, Cuoi thought, “The cubs are small, but still they are wild animals. When they grow up they might kill people in the village. I must kill them.” 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!
