Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #104: Moving Out
Checking out the neighbors.
Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is solar or nuclear better for a future Mars base?
A common theme on Cheap Astronomy, with regards to space exploration is that just because
we can do it, doesn’t mean we will do it, since any billion dollar investment is going to require
some kind of return on investment, whether that be an actual monetary return or political capital,
or whatever. And even then, if there’s a major risk of people dying and/or the mission failing, it
probably won’t get off the ground in the first place.
Dear Cheap Astronomy – Can we look forward to a cloud city on Venus?
The attraction of having a cloud City on Venus is that, at 50 kilometers above the surface there’s
one Earth atmosphere of pressure and enough atmosphere above you to protect you from most harmful space radiation, while also letting through much the same solar flux as you would get on Earth.

Astronomy Cast Ep. 723: Exoplanets by the Numbers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejRSh9OzD8U
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
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
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.
