    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?

    Paul Hill and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host. 
    Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.
    This month is indulgent and ranty! Well, it is summer... Jen waxes lyrical about a night out, Paul has written a book and in amongst it is some astronomy!
    There is a big dive into the huge aurora display in May, talk of new exoplanets and old ones vanishing. The usual skyguide and this month’s history moment is all about X rays.

    Bio -
    Awesome Astronomy explores the frontiers of science, space and our evolving understanding of the universe.
    Join Paul & Jeni for informative and fun astronomy programmes dedicated to space and astronomy news and monthly podcast extras covering hot topics and special interviews in the world of science and astronomy.

    Exoplanet Radio - Ep. 19: Direct Imaging Exoplanets In Our Telescopes

    Exoplanet Radio - Ep. 19: Direct Imaging Exoplanets In Our Telescopes

    From Aug 14, 2023.
    One of the reasons we’ve created Exoplanet Radio is that Exoplanets are awesome. The idea that there are planets in orbit around stars outside our solar system - and even rogue planets that do not orbit a star meandering through interstellar space - is one that cannot help but capture our imagination.
     
    The thing is, finding them is very hard. They are small and dim compared to stars so we need to rely on indirect methods to see them like looking for dips in brightness or a wobbling star, or, in the case of rogue planets with no stars, tiny flashes of light from background stars. But ideally, we’d like to see them directly, in our telescopes. Is that possible? You probably guessed I wouldn’t have brought up the question if the answer wasn’t ‘yes’.
     
    So far, we have discovered over 5,000 exoplanets, using transit, radial velocity and microlensing methods. But there is another way to find exoplanets that has only recently been possible: by directly seeing them with our eyes. This is unimaginatively called the direct imaging method, and has revealed some amazing results.

    Astronomy Cast Ep. 722: Weather on Exoplanets

    Astronomy Cast Ep. 722: Weather on Exoplanets

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=178AiyS7QXo
    Streamed live on Jun 3, 2024.
    Here’s a familiar question: How’s the weather? We’re familiar with the weather on Earth and telescopes and missions are watching the weather on other planets in the Solar System. But for the first time in history, astronomers can now answer that question for exoplanets, located light-years away from us.
