    The Cosmic Savannah - Ep. 66: Meertime Mysteries – Pulsars & Prizes

    Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize, Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. From October 19, 2023. Professor Matthew Bailes returns to discuss his recent work on Pulsars as well as his thoughts and feelings on winning the 2023 Shaw Prize for the discovery of Fast Radio Bursts.   Professor Matthew Bailes is an astrophysicist from the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne University of Technology and the Director of OzGrav. His work primarily focuses on millisecond pulsars and detecting Fast Radio Bursts. Professor Bailes was awarded the 2023 Shaw Prize in Astronomy along with Duncan Lorimer & Maura McLaughlin for the discovery of Fast Radio Bursts. Congrats!   During the episode Professor Bailes discusses new and exciting insights from his recent research, his work on the Meertime project, how his spam filter nearly cost him the Shaw Prize and why microwaves must be used with caution when searching for Fast Radio Bursts.   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 - Moons May Be Beneficial to Life Beyond Earth

    From February 4, 2022. New simulations find that to form a moon with a similar size ratio to our own system, certain types of planets are needed. And that type of moon-planet system could then be beneficial to the rise of life on the planet. Plus, a Starlink launch, puffy planets, and training astronauts underwater for spacewalks.   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!

    Astronomy Cast Ep. 744: Lunar Time

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1otvUdIYe8 Streamed live on Feb 10, 2025. What time is it? OK, fine, what time is it on the Moon? The Moon orbits the Earth, so it doesn’t fall into a specific time zone. Also, there’s lower gravity on the surface of the Moon, which changes the rate that clocks tick. Well… It’s time to introduce Lunar Time.  When are you when you are on the Moon? Researchers are putting together definitions! Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay   SUPPORTED BY YOU This Episode is made possible thanks to our Patrons on Patreon. Join at the Galaxy Group level or higher to be listed in our YouTube videos.   Thanks to: Andrew Poelstra, BogieNet, Brian Cagle, David, David Truog, Ed, Gerhard Schwarzer, Jeanette Wink, Siggi Kemmler, Stephen Veit    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!

    Travelers in the Night Eps. 301E & 302E: WOW! What a Ride & Dangerous Comet

    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: From September 2024. - It's a good thing this one will miss Earth.  Riding the surface of the asteroid that my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Richard Kowalski recently discovered would be an incredible experience. - Protection against a comet strike is worth considering. Every year, if we are lucky, several comets can come close enough for the Sun to warm and us to see the beautiful changing dust and gas clouds around them with binoculars or our unaided eyes. So far asteroids have gotten most of the attention as dangerous celestial neighbors, however, Dr. Joseph Nuth, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland recently pointed out "Comets can also deliver a heaping helping of calamity to Earth, and scientists and policymakers alike should start taking measures to combat the threat".   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!
