Deep Astronomy - NASA's TESS Watches a Star Getting Devoured by a Black Hole
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIJDuqPI2TE Published on Oct 4, 2019. In this episode, our favorite exoplanet hunting space telescope, known as TESS, has managed to capture a black hole tearing a star apart. Not only is TESS finding worlds around other stars, but it’s keeping a vigilant eye on the rest of the galaxy to find things just like this. According to NASA, capturing this event is hard, it only happens once every ten to a hundred thousand years in our galaxy.

Cheap Astronomy - AWAT: FTL Neutrinos (Or Not)

Cheap Astronomy - AWAT: FTL Neutrinos (Or Not)
The recent news from the Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus (OPERA) neutrino experiment, that neutrinos have been clocked travelling faster than light, made the headlines over the last week – and rightly so. There are some very robust infrastructure and measurement devices involved that give the data a certain gravitas. The researchers had appropriate cause to put their findings up for public scrutiny and peer review – and to their credit have produced a detailed paper on the subject, beyond just the media releases we have seen. Nonetheless, it has been reported that some senior members of the OPERA research team declined to be associated with this paper, considering that it was all a bit preliminary.

Cosmic Savannah Ep. 11: A Trip Down Under
Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. With special gests Dr. Ivy Wong, Dr. Brenda Namumba and Professor Peter Quinn. Jacinta attended the PHISCC Conference, the Pathfinder for HI Surveys Coordination Committee, at Perth's UWA, and takes us on a tour of her homeland, into the Australian bush, and chats about pathfinders, precursors and the exciting collaborations between South Africa and Australia! Precursor telescopes like the South African MeerKAT and HERA (Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array), along with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) and Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) are providing SKA scientists with invaluable knowledge to assist in the design of the SKA’s main telescopes over the coming decade. Pathfinder telescopes and systems, such as the now-retired KAT-7 (Karoo Array Telescope) are dotted around the globe and are also engaged in SKA related technology and science studies.

Awesome Astronomy - January Part 1
Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips and John Wildridge produce. The Discussion: As we begin the new decade we struggle to find a consensus on whether it actually is a new decade. We discuss the busy Xmas period and thank any listeners who helped Dartmoor Skies reach their funding target for a new telescope. Then we take a look at a few listeners’ emails and tweets. The News: Rounding up the astronomy news this month we have: - An old galaxy containing as much dust as one third the amount of its stars. - Mapping the magnetic fields around the Whale Galaxy. - An interstellar comet makes its way back out of the solar system. - A burst of supernovae in the Milky Way’s not-to-distant past. - Is Betelgeuse about to go supernova? The Sky Guide: Shaking up the format of the sky guide, we’re taking a look at the constellation of Monoceros with a guide to its history, how to find it, a couple of deep sky objects and a round up of the solar system objects on offer in January. Q&A: If there are no plate tectonics on the moon, how did the lunar mountain regions form? from @gkt_wales on Twitter http://www.awesomeastronomy.com Bio: Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).

Ask A Spaceman Ep. 119: String Theory Part 5 - Duality of the Fates
How did String Theory get started? What has made the idea so popular over the decades? Can we ever truly have a theory of quantum gravity? What is supersymmetry, the landscape, and the AdS/CFT Correspondence? What do holograms have to do with this? How many dimensions do we live in? Why does String Theory have such a hard time making predictions? How are we supposed to judge a theory that isn’t done yet? It’s a non-stop String Theory bonanza as I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!

The Daily Space - Betelguese, Betelguese, Betelguese (and 2 other stories)
Today we start off with a quick take on everyone's favorite fading star, Betelguese. This red giant is fading away right before the eyes of anyone with clear skies, and we don't know why, and many hope it might be gearing up to explode (but it probably isn't). Join us as we discuss what we do and don't know about this system. We also take a quick look at new ways to study 3-body systems with statistics, and new research that uses stats to show that our solar system is likely ripe with alien small objects, like comets and asteroids. You 365 Days of Astronomy listeners should go subscribe to Dr. Gay's "The Daily Space" podcast! We'll only feature it occasionally here on 365 DoA.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2YkvWdUUNQ Published on Jan 30, 2018. The supertelescopes are coming, enormous ground and space-based observatories that’ll let us directly observe the atmospheres of distant worlds. We know there’s life on Earth, and our atmosphere tells the tale, so can we do the same thing with extrasolar planets? It turns out, coming up with a single biosignature, a chemical in the atmosphere that tells you that yes, absolutely, there’s life on that world, is really tough.

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. We are joined by two experts in stellar astronomy, Priscilla Muheki from Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Uganda and Distinguished Professor Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi from the Florida Institute of Technology. Priscilla talks about her PhD research in Uganda studying violent outbursts, known as coronal mass ejections, from certain types of stars. Hakeem then goes on the explain these coronal mass ejections and the violent magnetic fields associated with them, and what effect they may have on both our technology and our entire planet! Hakeem also talks about his visit to South Africa to assist in forming the African Astronomical Society (AfAS) and the incredible achievements of the South African National Astrophysics and Space Science Programme (NASSP) which has produced over 150 MSc Students and 90 PhDs!

Guide To Space - Making The Atmosphere Disappear - The Power Of Adaptive Optics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8f1750R0X0 Published on Aug 17, 2018. The Earth’s atmosphere keeps us safe from the harsh environment of space, but it also obscures our view into the cosmos. No matter how powerful a telescope you build, the turbulence of the atmosphere limits your resolution. But astronomers and engineers have an amazing technology that allows a telescope to peer into space as if the atmosphere isn’t even there, producing images from here on the ground which are as sharp and clear as if the telescope was out in space. It’s called adaptive optics, and we’re now at the point where the most powerful ground-based telescopes have matched and even exceeded the capability of space telescopes.

Everyday Einstein: Rock or Alien Probe?

Everyday Einstein: Rock or Alien Probe?
There's a mysterious rock traveling through our solar system, and it's making headlines again. Could it in fact not be a rock at all, but an alien probe? Let's look at what the evidence has to say. A few days ago, I got an early morning text from a friend: “news says we have an alien probe. Please advise.” Part of my duty as an astrophysicist is, of course, to be able to warn my friends of an alien invasion—so I was worried I had failed. The press often sensationalizes headlines in order to get eyeballs on their articles, but a quick search told me this claim was even coming from astronomers. This deserved a proper investigation!

Urban Astronomer Ep. 47: Dr. Rosalind Skelton
In this episode, we interview Dr. Rosalind Skelton ( @skelly_ros ) of the South African Astronomical Observatory. She is part of the team which manage operations for the Southern African Large Telescope, and her research interests include the impact of mergers on the growth of galaxies, the mechanisms that shut down star formation in galaxies, environmental effects within groups and cluster of galaxies and large but faint, ultra-diffuse galaxies. Brief bio of the podcaster: Allen is an amateur astronomer, an IT professional, a podcaster, a father of five beautiful kids and a barely competent chess player. He is also the director of the Citizen Science Section of the Astronomical Society of South Africa, where he promotes the uptake of Citizen Science among South African amateur astronomers.
