The 365 Days of Astronomy 365DaysOfAstronomy.org

Hosted by Loretta Cannon.
Today’s guest:  Dr. Steve Maran (retired from NASA and AAS https://aas.org/stephen-p-maran) shares stories with us from his almost 70 years working, and having fun, in astronomy.
 
H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society.  We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos.  We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.

Bio: 
Loretta Cannon, an AAS affiliate via Rose City Astronomers, is a member of the leadership committee for the Historical Astronomy Division (2023-2025). She is a polymath with degrees in anthropology, microbiology & biochemistry, and has many years of experience in both the private sector and government. When not reading some of her way-too-many books, she watches BritBox, creates recipes, or plays in the garden. She chose science writing/editing in astronomy as a new career. In short, she’s a science-and-word-nerd-foodie-with-a-plant-habit who really likes the stars.

Staying alive…
Dear Cheap Astronomy – Just how useful are humans in space?
Just by landing robots on Mars, we’ve been able to take lots of photos, smell the air, feel the
ground and listen to the wind blow. We’ve got bogged in difficult terrain, but also climbed hills to
take in the view and even operated a drone. Sending people there is a lot more fraught…
 
Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is the death zone radius of a black hole merger?
The background to this question is the gravitational wave data we’ve been detecting with LIGO
– the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory. The data received can be reverse-
engineered to quantify the astronomical event that caused the gravitational waves detected.

From Aug 15, 2023.
Tucked inside a quiet solar system, in the area of sky outlined by the constellation Aquarius, orbits a planet named TRAPPIST-1d, the third of seven planets in a system positioned 41 light years from our vantage point. TRAPPIST-1d is a rocky, Earth-like planet, meaning that it is roughly the same size and mass as our home.

Fraser & Pamela list their favorite books! Take notes!
I also have a favor to ask - I'm working on a research project with my collaborator Sanlyn Buxener on what factors help and hinder people learning and doing science. Can you please take our survey?

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
From Feb 24 & May 3, 2023.
Today's 2 topics:
- Recently, my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Hannes Groller discovered an Earth approaching asteroid which has a speed consistent with it being ejected from the Moon by the impact of an asteroid or comet long ago. 69 hours after Hannes discovered it, this small space rock passed closer than the communication satellites are from us.
- During Comet C/2018 V4 Africano's last visit to the inner solar system humans were erecting the outer ring at Stonehenge. At the rate human's are changing the Earth's climate who can guess what will be happening on Earth when this comet returns in about 6,000 AD.

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama.
From June 21, 2022.
In this week’s episode, Jacinta and Dan take a step back to review the past year of The Cosmic Savannah podcast. We chat about some of the highlights of the past year in astronomy and also some of our favourite episodes of the season.
 
We discuss some of the great astronomical discoveries, milestones and events from the past year, including the green light for the Square Kilometre Array construction, the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope and another incredible result from the Event Horizon Telescope!
 
We also talk about the impact of astronomy on society and sustainability, including a lovely discussion on mental health within astronomy.
 
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful guests for joining us, and to all of our team for making the podcast possible. And thanks to all of our listeners for making it all worthwhile!
