Astronomy Cast Ep. 85: Detectors
4d ago00:31:34Tap to summarizehttp://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ Hosted by: Fraser Cain (@frasercain) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) From April 21, 2008. Our senses can only detect a fraction of the phenomena happening in the Universe. That's why scientists and engineers develop detectors, to let us see radiation and particles that we could never detect with our eyes and ears. This week we'll go through them all, so you can understand how we see what we can't see. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

Travelers in the Night Eps. 363E & 364E: House Sized Space Rocks & Jupiter
5d ago00:06:05Tap to summarizeDr. 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 From November 2025. Today's 2 topics: - Throughout history small close approaching space rocks have been a part of our environment. Now, thanks to improved telescopes and cameras, asteroid hunters are routinely discovering these small asteroids as they pass closer than the Moon is to us. Since these tiny asteroids are only bright enough to detect for a few days out of their long, many month duration paths about the Sun, astronomers have had difficulty in determining how many of these small space rocks may exist in near Earth space. This effort received more emphasis when a house sized space rock exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013 releasing about 10 times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. - Jupiter has been observed throughout human history and is so bright that you can even spot it under the artificial light dome of one of our cities. Even so it is less than 40 years ago that we were first able to view Jupiter in detail as the Voyagers streaked by it. Jupiter contains more than twice the mass of all of the other planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets in our solar system combined. Eons ago, our solar systems very own giant planet, Jupiter, appears to have cleared out the inner solar system leaving enough rocky debris to form Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

Space Stories - Betelgeuse Was Never Alone
6d ago00:08:14Tap to summarizeHosted by Avivah Yamani, our Director! Was Betelgeuse ever truly alone? For over 100 years, astronomers searched for a hidden companion to Orion's famous red supergiant. Now, new observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope have revealed the clearest evidence yet that Betelgeuse has a stellar companion. Discover the science, the mystery, and why this finding is changing our understanding of one of the sky's most famous stars.

EVSN - Betelgeuse Smaller Than Previously Calculated, Still A Mystery
1w ago00:22:58Tap to summarizeFrom February 10, 2021. Hosted by Dr. Pamela L. Gay. Scientists collected fresh data on Orion's bright star Betelgeuse to try and understand this star that caused so much controversy. They found it's smaller than previously calculated, and last year's dimming was likely caused by dust, but it's also more complex than thought. Plus, galaxies, Earth's forests, ice on Mars, and Saturn's moon Rhea. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

UNAWE Space Scoop - A Blazing Hot World With A Buzzing Secret
1w ago00:07:00Tap to summarizehttps://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2608/a-blazing-hot-world-with-a-buzzing-secret/ Hosted by our editor, Richard Drumm. Far, far away from Earth, over 300 light-years away, is an incredible exoplanet called WASP-189b, in the constellation Libra, the scales. It lies a bit to the NW of Beta Librae, or Zubeneschamali, and almost exactly due north of the Libra star with my favorite star name: Zubenelgenubi! WASP-189 is the star & 189b is the planet. It has about twice Jupiter's mass and about 1 1/2 times its diameter. It orbits its star in 2 days & 17 hours, so it's really close in! But this isn't just any old planet. 189b is a giant, blazing-hot world with a secret that has astronomers buzzing with excitement! Ah, that's where the buzzing in the title comes from!

Guide To Space - Betelgeuse Is Still Dimming! And We Have the Pictures to Prove It
1w ago00:08:18Tap to summarizehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC4LEozmqXE From Feb 16, 2020. Hosted by Fraser Cain. Near the end of 2019, astronomers watching the red giant Betelgeuse noted how much the star had dimmed, continuing to steadily fade for months. It's a variable star, and it's known to get dimmer and brighter, but the big surprise is that it's still continuing to dim, recently passing magnitude 1.56 and still getting dimmer. This is unprecedented in the decades that astronomers have been watching the star. The world's biggest telescopes are on the case, and the European Southern Observatory released dramatic new images of Betelguese, resolving features on the star's surface and surrounding area showing how it's dramatically changed over the course of 2019.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 89: Adaptive Optics
2w ago00:30:52Tap to summarizehttp://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ Hosted by: Fraser Cain (@frasercain) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) From May 19, 2008. Since the dawn of humanity, astronomers have wished to destroy the atmosphere. Oh sure, it's what we breathe and all, but that stupid atmosphere is always getting in the way. Since destroying the atmosphere is out of the question, astronomers have figured out how to work with it. To distort the mirror of the telescope itself though the magic of adaptive optics.
