009 - Flashing lights In the sky


Listen Later

In this episode our Skyentists Ángel López-Sánchez and Kirsten Bank discuss all the flavors of auroras: what are they, how are they produced, what their colors are telling us, and where to see them. From Sydney? Well, it seems it would be possible for time to time... if it wasn't because of the nasty problem of the light pollution! Thanks Kiama is very close to Sydney, auroras have been seen recently from there! On the second part of this episode, as part of the "What's Up" section, we travel to the Carina Nebula and to the very intriguing massive star Eta Carinae... don't miss observing it with your telescope while you can, as it might explode as a hypernova soon! We don't have feedback in this episode, but hopefully will receive plenty for next fortnight. Do you have a question for us?
