The 365 Days of Astronomy 365DaysOfAstronomy.org

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:
- Anyone who thinks women can't do computers and science needs to meet my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny. On a recent 3 night observing run at the 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Rose took over the world of asteroid hunting when she posted 82 new potentially Earth approaching objects on the Minor Planet Center's NEO Confirmation Page. For the next several days telescopes around the world obtained additional data on Rose's discoveries. When the dust settled 29 of Rose's discoveries were proved to be Earth approaching objects, 32 are other asteroids which don't come near enough our home planet to be interesting, and the rest need more data to figure out what they are.
- Comets are made up of organic materials and ices of various substance which are left over from the formation of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago. When the gravity of a nearby star or other object changes one of these dirty snowball's orbit, its path can bring it into the inner solar system and thus near enough for the Sun to affect it and for us to study what is going on.

Dark energy is a mysterious force that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) attached to the Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory is currently measuring the redshifts to tens of millions of galaxies to help unravel the mystery of dark energy. In this podcast, NOIRLab’s Dr. Stephanie Juneau talks about the results from the first year of observations with DESI.
 
Bios: 
Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.
Dr. Stephanie Juneau is an astronomer at NSF NOIRLab, and a data scientist for the Astro Data Lab. She obtained her BSc and MSc in physics from the Université de Montréal, and her PhD from the University of Arizona in 2011. She then moved to CEA-Saclay in France, where she started as a Marie Curie fellow before becoming staff researcher in 2012. She moved back to Tucson, Arizona in 2016 to join the scientific staff at NSF NOIRLab.
 
Dr. Juneau’s expertise lies primarily in the field of supermassive black hole and galaxy evolution. She is interested in answering questions about the growth of galaxies and that of the black holes that reside in their centers, as well as the interplay between the two. Her work brings together multiwavelength observations, close comparison with numerical simulations, and ranges from detailed case studies to statistical analysis of large datasets. As a member of the DESI and Euclid collaborations, she is particularly excited about leveraging millions of galaxy and quasar spectra to further our understanding of the black hole-galaxy connection and expand to larger scales.

From Sep 17, 2021.
A supernova first observed in 2016 will be replayed in a few years because of the light’s journey through a galaxy cluster and how dark matter gravitationally warps space-time. Plus, inactive centaurs, a Scottish ice wall, and a review of “Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space”.

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host. 
Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.
From Dec 22, 2021.
Our chat with Professor Chris Lintott from our live show to ease the boredom of covid lockdowns. 
 
We talk about:
• Passes of the International Space Station and satellites encouraging people to enjoy the night skies
• How amateur astronomers can contribute to real science through their images of planets, meteor counting and Zooniverse projects
• Removing the boundaries between professional and amateur astronomers
• Finding supernovae (violently exploding stars)
• The next generation of exciting telescopes – JWST & SKA – and what they will discover
• Chris’ best guess on what the unexplained radio bursts are that we’re finding in the galaxy
 
Dr. Chris Lintott is Professor of Astrophysics and Citizen Science Lead at the University of Oxford. An astronomer specialising in galaxy formation, machine learning, anomaly detection, and planet hunting as Head of the Zooniverse citizen science platform. Chris is a proud and excited member of the collaboration building the Vera Rubin Observatory, which will power the next astronomical revolution. Author and broadcaster for the BBC's long-running Sky at Night program.

What is the “cold spot” on the cosmic microwave background? Why shouldn’t it exist? What are some possible explanations for it, and why are they unsatisfying? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
