The 365 Days of Astronomy

• Travelers in the Night Eps. 311E & 312E: Comet Johnson & Space Salsa

  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: - Comet C2/2015 V2 Johnson was discovered by my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Jess Johnson on November 3, 2015. It travels on a hyperbolic path around the Sun which is highly inclined to the plane where the planets and most of the asteroids travel. Jess's comet's path takes it from deep space into the inner solar system slightly further from the Sun than the planet Mars. Although it will not get closer to the Earth than about 75 million miles it may out gas enough material to make it visible to the naked eye. - If Lunar and Martian colonists are to have chips and salsa they will need grow their own tomatoes. To test methods to do this German Aerospace Center or DLR has developed the EU:CROPIS satellite which will be launched by a Space-X Falcon 9 rocket into low Earth orbit sometime in 2017. Once in orbit the satellite will be programmed to rotate at two different speeds on its own axis to produce Lunar gravity for 6 months and then Martian gravity for the next 6 months.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

• Cosmic Savannah Ep. 67: A Stroll to the Edge of the Universe

  Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela.   In this “unplugged” episode, we hear from our own! New host Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela tells us about her research and we introduce you to our new podcast manager, Francois Campher.   Tshiamiso (Tshia) discusses her work in the field of Astronomy Education Research. She asks us “how big is big” and “how far is far”? Tshia explains why these concepts so difficult, yet so important, to comprehend.   Tshia is a post-doc researcher at the University of Cape Town (UCT). She is part of the IAU (International Astronomy Union’s) Office for Astronomy Education (OAE). She explains to us how her work contributes to the advancement of Astronomy education in South Africa and the rest of the world.   We also hear from our brand new podcast manager, Francois Campher! Francois tells us a bit about himself and how he got co-opted into his new role. He also shares his first impressions of the very unique The Cosmic Savannah “studio” (a.k.a cupboard behind the files!)   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

• EVSN - Overlooked Exoplanet Found by Citizen Scientists

  From December 10, 2021. Using data provided by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project, volunteers found a possible large planet or brown dwarf orbiting its star at a distance of more than 1,600 astronomical units. Plus, NASA launches the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, and we review Ghostbusters: Afterlife.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

• Actual Astronomy - A History of Planetary Motion

  Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. [email protected] The Actual Astronomy Podcast presents A History of Planetary Motion. In this episode we are joined again by Dave Chapman. Dave will review the history of our understanding of planetary motion, from prehistoric times and antiquity to the present day. He covers the contributions of Mesopotamians, The Greeks, Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Halley, Lagrange, Laplace, Gauss, Le Verrier, Galle, Einstein, and Bretagnon. He concludes that our knowledge has progressed immensely, but in a way, we have come full circle!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
