    Streamed live on Jun 10, 2024.
    Astronomers have discovered thousands of exoplanets, revealing entirely new types of worlds that we just don’t have in the solar system. It’s enough to start getting a rough sense of what kinds of planets are out there. What’s the big picture?

    Travelers in the Night Eps. 279E & 280E: From Luna & Dangerous Duo

    Travelers in the Night Eps. 279E & 280E: From Luna & Dangerous Duo

    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:
    - More than 240 Lunar meteorites have been found in the Dhofar region of Oman, on the LaPaz Icefield of Antartica, and other locations on the Earth's surface. These space traveling rocks were blasted from the Moon's surface by the impact of asteroids and comets which accelerated them to speeds greater than the lunar escape velocity of 1.5 miles per second. Subsequently these interplanetary travelers in the night orbited the Sun for an extended period of time before entering our atmosphere and falling to Earth. We know these meteorites are from the Moon because they contain mixtures of atoms which are found on the Moon but not in Earthly rocks.
    - Recently in the space of 28 hours my Catalina Sky Survey teammates Rose Matheny and Carson Fuls discovered two Potentially Hazardous Asteroids to add to the list of the more than 1700 which asteroid hunters have discovered. Fortunately, none of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids are currently on a collision course with planet Earth.

    UNAWE Space Scoop - Magnetars Origin Story

    UNAWE Space Scoop - Magnetars Origin Story

    https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2320/magnetars-origin-story/
    Far far away, in the constellation Monoceros, the unicorn, 3,000 light years away from us to be more exact, is an unusual star known as HD 45166. Which is preparing to become the most magnetic powerhouse known to exist in the Universe, a magnetar!
     
    Magnetars are a type of neutron star that holds the record of the object with the strongest magnetic field in the cosmos. For a star to become a magnetar, astronomers initially thought that it had to be really massive. 
    As it turns out, not quite so much, actually.

    Guide To Space - What is Tidal Locking?

    Guide To Space - What is Tidal Locking?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDNDz_VP3PE
    From Nov 16, 2015.
    The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, which means that it always shows one face to our planet. In fact, this is the case for most the large moons in the Solar System. What's the process going on to make this happen?
