Don't ever accuse us of not comprehensively covering every kind of exploding star. This week we gather up all the left over ways that stars partially or fully explode or don't. Probably. Enjoy!

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:

- Imagine a world where people are never able to see the Milky Way or a meteor streaking like a falling star in the night sky.  For most of the people living in the Earth's cities this has already happened.

- Recently a semi-trailer truck sized asteroid passed only 20,800 miles above the Earth's surface. It reached its closest distance to us about 6 days after it was discovered by my team member, Richard Kowalski.

Description: White dwarfs are the final state of stars like our Sun at the end of their lives. A typical white dwarf is about the size of Earth but with a much larger mass and density. Recently a Jupiter sized planet was discovered orbiting very close to a white dwarf. In this podcast, learn about this planet, its discovery and how it was studied using NASA and NOIRLab facilities.

Bio: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab.

Andrew Vandenberg is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he studies and characterizes exoplanets.

Siyi Xu is an assistant astronomer at Gemini North, a program of NSF’s NOIRLab in Hawaii.

Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain )
Special Guest: This week we welcome back to the show Dr. David Warmflash. Since he was last with us, David has been named as Co-Principal Investigator and Medical Director for a new NASA Small Business Innovation Research (SBRI) Phase I study titled "Mixed-Reality Holographic Training System to Enable High-Value Surgical and Complex Medical Procedures by Astronauts." This study, managed by the New Jersey-based Mgenuity Corporation with collaboration from Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU), aims to develop a system to guide astronauts through surgical and medical procedures on Exploration Class missions.

David is also a science advisor for Let's Rover the Moon, an Israeli non-governmental initiative.

David Warmflash M.D. is an astrobiologist, space medicine researcher, and author. David is a contributor to Medscape Neurology of WebMD and to various science and space magazines and online outlets, where his topics include space exploration and space life sciences, genetics, neuroscience, and the history of science and medicine.

His 2019 book, "Moon: An Illustrated History: From Ancient Myths to the Colonies of Tomorrow", was the basis for an Oregon Public Broadcasting TV documentary in which he appears with various Moon experts, including Apollo 17 astronaut geologist Harrison Schmitt. David also has begun work on a new book that will focus on space medicine and other life science issues and how they relate to humanity's coming expansion beyond Earth.

You can stay up to date with everything David is doing by following him on Twitter (@CosmicEvolution) as well as Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/moonillustr...).

David's book is available from Sterling Publishing (https://www.sterlingpublishing.com/97...), Barnes and Noble (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/moon...), Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Moon-Illustrat...), and !ndigo (https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/...) .

This week's stories:

- The first direct observation of exoplanet Beta Pic C.

- Is Earth the best habitable planet? (Yes, for us.)

- Germany is planning its first spaceport.

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips and John Wildridge produce.

The Discussion:

Helping us celebrate our 100th(ish) episode, we have a live(ish) audience to join in with us. Anna Lanteri from Gröningen University discusses a new Zooniverse citizen science project, called Space Fluff where you can soon classify dwarf galaxies. And Tom Bridgeman from the Goddard Space Flight Centre tells us about NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio.

The News: Rounding up the astronomy news this month we have:

- Astronomers find an exoplanet in another galaxy using x-rays.

- Earth may get another mini-moon!

- A group of underground liquid water reservoirs found on Mars.

- The first exoplanet observed around a white dwarf star.

- Asteroid Vesta spread its muck on other asteroids.

Main News story:

- We are finally out of solar minimum and the sun will get more active again. Cycle 25 has begun!

The Sky Guide: This month we’re taking a look at the constellation of Cetus with a guide to its history, how to find it, a couple of deep sky objects and a round-up of the solar system views on offer in October.

Guide to the Electromagnetic Spectrum: In this series we take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum, what, it is, what is shows us and why it’s so important to astronomers. This month we explain the x-ray part of the spectrum and its relevance to astronomy.

Bio: Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).

So you think that a white dwarf star is the end of a stellar life, and it's all downhill from there, a long, slow cool down towards the end of everything. But in some situations even dead stars can get exciting again, briefly becoming some of the brightest objects in the Universe. And maybe, just maybe, the last exciting thing that'll ever happen in the Universe.
