Dear Cheap Astronomy – Why do further way galaxies moving faster mean the Universe is expanding?

It is all a lot to take in – not only is farther away stuff moving faster, also the Universe is expanding faster now than it was in the past and there’s standard candles and red-shift and much room for confusion.

Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is there such a thing as a dead planet?

To start with it’s probably unreasonably biocentric to define spherical objects that orbit the Sun and have cleared their orbits, as either alive or dead. We can redefine the question in terms of being geologically-active or not, but there it gets difficult to draw a line between what’s active and what isn’t.

Astronomers think that studying the effects of spaceweather and radiation in space will shed more light on exoplanetary atmospheres. You see, spaceweather is what we call the variations in the space environment. 

Here in our solar system we experience spaceweather as solar wind, solar flares, solar storms, coronal mass ejections from the Sun and even cosmic rays from the rest of the Universe.

Did you see the aurora borealis this year?

That’s spaceweather!

From January 1, 2007.

We take the Moon for granted, but its effect on the Earth is very important; possibly even critical for the formation of life. But where did it come from? Did the Earth and Moon form together? Or did the Earth capture a wayward Moon? Or was there a more catastrophic cause to this lunar mystery?

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org

Today's 2 topics:

- NASA classifies 2023 SZ1 as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid since it is larger than 140m in diameter and on its current path can come to about 6 times the Moon’s distance from us.Fortunately on its current path 2023 SZ1 will not come any closer than 42 times the Moon’s distance from us until after 2171.

- Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner, and Yann Sainty’s image of our neighboring galaxy, M31, in Andromeda won the 10,000 British pound Astronomer Photographer of the year award for 2023. Amazingly their image revealed a huge, previously unknown arc of hot doubly ionized Oxygen gas.

In this episode, Tshiamiso and Dan have a discussion with Alexander Andersson from Oxford University about Zooniverse, citizen science projects and how citizens can contribute to the work that astronomers do.

During the episode Alex discusses how important and useful the work done by participants in the Bursts from Space project is for helping scientists train AI in the search for radio transients – or as Alex puts it: “Things that go bump in the night”.

Join us for another exciting episode and learn how you can contribute to the fascinating research going on in Astronomy today!

Alexander Andersson is a PhD student at Oxford University in the United Kingdom. His work focuses on Machine Learning applications to data collected by the MeerKAT telescope. Alex is also involved with the Zooniverse citizen science project. Specifically, Alex is working on the Bursts from Space project using the Zooniverse platform in order to train AI to identify radio transients.

From July 17, 2021.

Over tens of millions of years, the surface of Europa has been churned by impacts down to an average depth of 30 centimeters. This churning means that the search for chemical biosignatures must look below that zone. Plus, methane and icequakes at Enceladus, predicting underwater eruptions, Virgin Galactic's flight, and a Chinese spacewalk.

Hosted by Loretta Cannon for the AAS-HAD.

Historical Astronomy Division of AAS

https://had.aas.org/

Today’s guest: Dr. Linda Spilker (JPL Fellow and Senior Research Scientist) discusses the Cassini mission to Saturn (1997-2017) that she worked with for 30 years, the last 10 as Project Scientist.

H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society.  We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos.  We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.  

Loretta Cannon (an AAS affiliate via Rose City Astronomers) is a science-and-word-nerd who really likes the stars. She quite enjoys working as HAD’s podcaster, bringing astronomy stories to you.

From September 6, 2023.

Hosted by Tony Darnell.

Astronomers have recently concluded an observation study of the closest exoplanet to Earth, Proxima Centauri b and found that the planet does not transit its star.  These observations settle a question that astronomers have been asking since the exoplanet's discovery in 2016 using the radial velocity method.

Streamed live on Dec 16, 2024.

What can we hope (or dread) to see in 2025?

Last week we talked about the 2024 strangeness. Now we’re gonna talk about the upcoming space stories for 2025 that we’re looking forward to. It’s a nice mix of new rockets, new missions and new fly-bys.

Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay
