The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by Ricardo García Soto ( http://www.astroblog.cl/ / @cuasar / astroetal.com ). Ricardo is a science writer & TV director.

Is Einstein wrong? What is dark energy? What is dark matter? What is Relativity? On today’s episode (#2), I talk with Jackson Said from the University of Malta about his research on Modified Gravity as a way to get rid of the dark “stuff” problem. We talk about gravity, Einstein theory of relativity and so much more.

Please help us keep training the trainers! Learning Space is a weekly G+ Hangout on Air about topics in astronomy education, outreach and other ways to share science both in the school setting and outside it. We bring you interviews, hands-on demonstrations, lists of our favorite educational resources and more!

Summary of content: 

The Discussion: If you enjoy our attention to scripting, our professional quality audio and our stringent editing, then you’re bang out of luck! This show comes from our AstroCamp stargazing event in Wales and we’re making it up as we go along.

This month we take you through the delights of dark sky stargazing among friends, Jeni becomes a paid scientist and we get the reactions of the gang as we reveal signed movie poster mock ups that we’re emailing to listeners.

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

Gravity Spy – hunt for gravitational waves in this new citizen science project

More details on NASA’s Asteroid Redirect Mission

The first data from ESA’s Gaia spacecraft wows us all

The Interview: This month we welcome back writer, broadcaster and researcher Dr Chris North from Cardiff University to discuss Gravitational Waves: what this means for the future of professional astronomy and what we can expect from this new field of astronomy in the future.

Q&A: This month we’re tackling a question about exoplanet detections with a back of the envelope calculation – and Jeni’s making Ralph do the maths. It’s fair to say, he’s not happy about it.

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.

Today's 2 topics:

- A mysterious piece of space hardware comes back to Earth. WT1190F, discovered by Rose Matheny, was likely an upper stage from NASA's Lunar Prospector mission.

- 2016 AK193, a potentially hazardous Aten asteroid discovered by Carson Fuls, may be a source of raw materials for future space settlers.

What is radio astronomy? How big is going to be the next generation radio telescope? What is SKA? This is the first episode of a weekly podcast about the fascinating world of astronomy. On today’s episode I have a conversation with Phil Diamond, who is the Director General of the Square Kilometer Array, we talk about the science behind this telescope, from the original idea to where they are today. Are we going to prove Einstein wrong? How are we going to be able to see the early universe? All of that and so much more on this first episode of Astronomy et al.

Our highlights of this month’s skies with the planet on offer to observers and imagers:

Venus & Saturn in the late evening with a nice conjunction of the pair Oct 29.

Uranus as it reaches opposition on the 16th October.

Next up is the meteor showers and October brings us:

The Draconids peaking on 7th October

The Orionids peaking on 20th/21st October

Then we each take a deep sky pick from our list of favourites for this time of year:

Ralph – Algol, The Demon Star & The Double Cluster in Perseus

Paul – The Auriga open clusters, M36, M37 & M38

Jeni – The Owl Custer in Cassiopeia

And we finish this sky guide with October’s moon phases.

As you probably know, Fraser is an avid video gamer, especially if it has anything to do with space. Today we turn things around, as Fraser talks about the games he plays, and what he thinks you should be playing too.
