The 365 Days of Astronomy

• Exoplanet Radio - TRAPPIST-1e: The Most Habitable Exoplanet

  From September 13, 2023. TRAPPIST-1e is a rocky, close-to-Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone around the ultra-cool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 approximately 40 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius.   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. 749: Dark Energy Changing Over Time

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MimmxUqg05Q Streamed live on Mar 24, 2025. Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay The Hubble Tension is a vexing problem, with astronomers measuring the expansion of the Universe at different points in its history and getting different results. Errors have mostly been ruled out, which leaves the potential for new physics. Has the strength of dark energy been changing over time? We thought Dark Energy was constant with time, but new results from DESI say maybe not, and honestly, if it wasn't constant the Hubble Tension would be a whole lot easier to solve.   SUPPORTED BY YOU!

• Travelers in the Night Eps. 313E & 314E: Greg’s Destination & Whoppers

  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: - A winter storm hit Mt. Lemmon, Arizona closing access to the observatory by blowing over trees and producing large snow drifts. After the Mountain Operations Crew cleared the road, my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Greg Leonard was able to make his way to the top and discover an asteroid which could be visited by human astronauts. Greg's new 120 foot diameter space rock, named 2017 BV93, spends most of its time between Earth and Venus as it orbits the Sun once every 346 days. - Recently, my Catalina Team Captain Eric Christensen discovered a potentially hazardous 3,000 foot diameter asteroid, 2017 CH1. Asteroid hunters are discovering less than one asteroid of this size or greater per month. Eric's discovery, 2017 CH1, has an orbit which can bring it to about twice the Moon's distance from planet Earth. Although it will not come anywhere near Earth in the foreseeable future, asteroid hunters will continue to monitor 2017 CH1's orbit to make sure that it remains no threat to planet Earth.   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!

• UNAWE Space Scoop - Teenage Galaxy Found Hiding in a Cosmic Nursery

  Telescopes are, in a way, time-travel machines to the distant past & faraway galaxies. The speed of light is the Universe’s speed limit. Forget that 55 MPH thing. 186,000 miles per second is more like it! Lightspeed is also the speed of gravity and electricity, so there’s that.   For example, it takes light from the Sun over 8 minutes to reach Earth, so the sunlight we feel on our faces is, on average, actually 8 minutes 25 seconds old. When astronomers use telescopes to look at galaxies in space, they find some that are close by and some that are farther away—that is, some that are younger and some that are very much older.    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 - Star Formation Occurs in Competitive Environment

  From April 21, 2021. A survey of the stellar nursery in the Orion Nebula Cluster provides evidence that stars compete for material and their size depends on what they gather rather than their initial core size. Plus, NASA mission updates, fast radio bursts, neutron stars, visible novae, and mountain building in the Andes.   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!
