    Travelers in the Night Eps. 759 & 760: Number 7 & Discover an Asteroid

    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:

    - Hungarian astronomer and geography teacher Krisztián Sárneczky was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Lynx with 0.6m (24 inch) telescope at the Piszkéstető station in the Mátra Mountains when an unknown object streaked through a set of his images. It is the 7th such object to be tracked in outer space and then observed to enter our atmosphere. A tiny asteroid the size of 2023 CX1 enters the Earth’s atmosphere about once a month and gives asteroid hunters a chance to practice for a big one.

    - Carson Fuls, one of my Catalina Sky Survey teammates, is leading the effort that will allow you to join our NASA funded adventure in asteroid hunting and discovery. You will learn how to scan our nightly archival images to discover new small solar system worlds.Happy asteroid hunting.

    Last Minute Astronomer - November Episode

    I’m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare.  Let’s start by talking about the naked eye planets visible this month, the lunar phases, and then the meteor shower and other events, so you can plan further ahead than me. 

    Similar to October, in November Saturn and Jupiter are the steady highlights above, Venus shines brilliantly after sunset, and rocks fall from the sky.

     

    A highlight:

    17th - 18th – Leonid Meteor Shower – This annual, weak (10-15 per hour) meteor shower can have some wonderful years.  This year is good because the waxing crescent Moon will already be set early in the evening, making it clear of lunar light pollution into the morning, the best time to view it.

    Some advice for watching: 

    • Find a dark location and lie down in a reclining chair or hammock
    • Look around Leo’s head.  That is where the radiant is - where the meteors will appear to be coming from. 
    • The strategy to observe this year is to get out there whenever you can, but the later you stay up, the more you’ll see, since the radiant will be higher and you’ll be closer to the peak.  
    • Check the weather to see if the skies will be clear 
    • Adapt your eyes to the dark by staying away from light sources or using a red light if you need to look at a star chart or not trip over something.  
    • You never know when a nice meteor will burn up, to take a nice look at the sky in general, noting that the meteors will appear to go from the radiant in the head of Leo and outward.

    George’s Random Astronomical Object #136: Barium

    George’s Random Astronomical Object presents HD 11397. This Sun-like star might seem ordinary, but it actually contains abnormally large amounts of heavy elements, most notably barium, that it could not have formed itself.

     

    Brief biography: Dr. George Bendo is an astronomer who specializes in studying interstellar dust and star formation in nearby galaxies.  He currently works at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester, and his primary role is to support other astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).  He has been creating biweekly episodes of George’s Random Astronomical Object since 2019.

    Awesome Astronomy - Predicting Supernovas

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYLtwPRhnU8

    Ralph Wilkins hosts. 

    Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.

    From Oct 21, 2022.

    This show is all about Betelgeuse and supernovas (supernovae? Let's call the whole thing off). What will happen to Betelgeuse? How bright will it get? When will it go supernova? Will we get to see it? How do we predict supernovas?

     

    A new study points to a rapid dimming (like the one we saw in 2019!) just before it obliterates itself in a violent release of energy that will make it brighter than anything else in the night sky.

    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:

    - Project Breakthrough Listen is spending $100 million over 10 years so that radio telescopes can search for signals which may indicate extraterrestrial intelligence.In a recent article in the Astronomical Journal a team of astronomers published a paper entitled “A 4–8 GHz Galactic Center Search for Periodic Technosignatures”. The teams first effort yielded a null result, however, they plan to continue to search for rotating beacons which could be used by extraterrestrials to communicate with far flung regions of the Milky Way.

    - An extremely wide field of view camera, the Zwicky Transient Facility, operated by Caltech on Palomar Mountain in California is able to take images of the entire northern sky every couple of days. This capability has enabled to astronomers to find nearly 8,000, Type IA supernova. A recent discovery SN Zwicky is unique.

    The Cosmic Savannah - Ep. 62: Behind the Scenes of the SKAO with Phil Diamond

    Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize, Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela & Dr. Daniel Cunnama.

    Part 3 – SKAO Construction Commencement Ceremony

    In the third and final part of the SKAO Construction Commencement Ceremony series, Jacinta sits down with Professor Phil Diamond, the Director-General of the SKAO to discuss his thoughts and feelings around the construction commencement ceremony in Australia and on the future of the project as a whole.

     

    Professor Phil Diamond has been a strong supporter of the SKA (Square Kilometre Array) since it was first proposed in the early 1990s and officially joined the project in October 2012. He has led the project through its various design stages up until this point where construction is finally commencing.

     

    In this episode, Prof. Diamond shares his experiences with the site selection, his thoughts on the commencement ceremony as well as insights into the intricate design of the “Christmas tree” antennas of the SKA-Low Telescope. Join us for this behind-the-scenes look at the SKA project!
