Deep Astronomy | 365 Days of Astronomy: Recent Episodes
Deep Astronomy | 365 Days of Astronomy
Many of you consistently ask: If the Universe is expanding, then what is it expanding into?
The post Jul 30th: What is the Universe Expanding Into? appeared first on 365 Days of Astronomy.
The James Webb Space Telescope has made its first observations of the TRAPPIST-1 system and measured the temperature of TRAPPIST-1b!
Did you know that the discovery of other planets in orbit around other stars is a very recent one? Only 25 years ago, we had no idea there were any planets in our galaxy besides those in our solar system. Now, not only have we discovered them, but astronomers estimate there are trillions of them. There are so many exoplanets out there that every star in our galaxy could have at least one.
Kepler-22b is one of the first exoplanets confirmed by the Kepler Space Telescope that resides in the habitable zone.
Here is the Eagle nebula taken using off-the-shelf equipment available to the amateur astronomer. So what instrument can we use see the Pillars of Creation with amateur astronomy telescopes?
Join us today and @DeepAstronomy will discuss about ultra diffuse galaxy dark matter mystery.
Dustin talks about his experiences with the new iOptron equatorial mounts. And Tony wonders about the effects of LED streetlights on our night skies.
In this episode, some astronomers, a former astronaut, the current director of the Space Telescope Science Institute as well as the wife of Carl Sagan himself, got together and wrote a white paper that makes the case for a telescope, named after the famous astronomer Carl Sagan, that will look for and directly image planets like Earth around other stars
Is the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics science? While we may not be able to say what exactly science is, I can say that I prefer to have my science with a little bit of data. For me to recognize science when I see it, it has to come with some observations or something verifiable
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy’s central black hole. Webb’s powerful infrared gaze produced this detailed image of the Cartwheel and two smaller companion galaxies against a backdrop of many other galaxies. This image provides a new view of how the Cartwheel Galaxy has changed over billions of years.
Black holes do not emit any light of their own making them impossible to see directly with telescopes. So, what's the closest one to us?
There is a planet so close to its star that its entire year is only a few hours. and any water oceans that it may have had would have long ago boiled away, the surface rocks melt and the clouds would hold lava rain.
There is a lot of interest in a new class of telescopes available for amateur astronomers. These telescopes offer extreme ease-of-use while delivering advanced capability to those just entering the hobby of amateur astronomy. In this episode, Dustin Gibson, CEO of OPT Telescopes and Tony Darnell discuss the value of these scopes and the promise they hold for newcomers to the hobby.
The Asteroid Apophis is going to get very close to Earth in 2029! How/will it impact us? Apophis is classified as a Potential Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) to Earth and astronomers want to use the event to learn more about how these celestial bodies will affect Earth.
DART is a planetary defense-driven test of technologies for preventing an impact of Earth by a hazardous asteroid. More with @DeepAstronomy at #365DaysOfAstro
Just like neighborhood developments here on Earth, the cislunar neighborhood needs multiple layers of infrastructure for a sustainable ecosystem on and around the Moon. Companies are planning to deploy foundational communications and data infrastructure to deliver services to government and commercial users. The market for cislunar space services is expected to grow significantly in the coming decade. Recognizing a whole-of-nation approach, there’s synergy in roles for government and private sector.
Unlike in the Apollo era, the private sector now has considerable space capabilities and in the last five years, tens of billions of dollars have been invested in space programs by companies, individuals and investment firms. This panel will examine when PPPs make sense, what types of PPPs are best for exploration applications and what does the commercial market for exploration hold for the next twenty years.
DART is a planetary defense-driven test of technologies for preventing an impact of Earth by a hazardous asteroid. DART will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space.
NASA is getting ready to decide on whether to embark on its next interstellar mission. It will span over 50 years and travel 1000 AU. The latest report shows a possible launch in the 2030's if NASA gives the go-ahead.
It is possible to contribute to professional astronomy, make discoveries and get involved in advancing our knowledge of the universe using your own equipment and computers. In this live stream, we'll go over some of the ways you can get involved in professional astronomy as an amateur.
The Earth's magnetic field has flipped from North to South and back again many times in its history. Are we starting a new cycle? If so, what will the effects be here on Earth and for our civilization?
Throughout my time as a science communicator, the subject of how to get a job in astronomy and what it's like to work as an astronomer are two themes that keep coming back. So how to get a job in astronomy?
What's the best gear you can gift to amateur astronomer? Or what's the best telescope you can get this year to do your hobby? Listen to today @deepastronomy for answers.
This episode features a beginner's telescope kit that we think is high quality and designed to get you off to a good start.
Here is an excerpt from the "JWST: Too Big to Fail" stream. The history of JWST is long and storied and @DeepAstronomy will briefly outline some milestones.
The JWST has arrived in South America and is awaiting the next steps: unloading, refueling and mounting on the Arianne 5 rocket
Automating an observing run is one of the most efficient uses of your equipment. But what do you need to make this possible? What can you expect for results?
Today Deep Astronomy discuss about the effects of alcohol on our bodies in space and whether we'll ever actually get to Mars and how much it might cost.
Today, @deepastronomy talk with Kelly Beatty from Sky and Telescope to discuss the growing problem of light pollution, what he thinks about SpaceX new swarm of satellites and much more
Have you been wondering, as I have, what the latest news is on the amazing space telescope known as LISA? Today @DeepAstronomy will talk about the update of LISA.
Today's amateur equipment is now possible to engage in professional-level sky searches for asteroids.
In this episode Tony discuss with Molly Wakeling about her night sky imaging story, share some tips techniques and secrets for creating great images yourself!
