The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by Duranee.

So, what exactly is a space station? A definition has never been rigidly defined, but we all know what a train station is. So, how about we say that a space station is a bit like a train station? That is, it’s a place that spacecraft can go to, to exchange passengers and cargo, before departing again.

In our last episode, we talked about what it'll take to navigate across the Solar System. In this episode we scale things up and speculate how future civilizations will navigate to other stars and even other galaxies.

Join +Fraser Cain and +Pamela Gay for a live episode of Astronomy Cast. We'll record our 30-minute show, and then stay tuned for them to answer questions!

Despite its name, it is believed that the Manx Comet is actually an asteroid. While comets are icy bodies, asteroids are chunks of rock left over from the birth of our Solar System’s rocky planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Pamela chats with Professor Peter Quinn, the Executive Director of ICRAR, the International Center For Radio Astronomy Research. They talk about the SKA, the Square Kilometer Array radio telescope that's being built in South Africa and Western Australia and the wonderful science that the instrument will open up to astronomers.

Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain )
Special Guest:
Dr. Arne Christer Fuglesang is a Swedish physicist and an ESA astronaut. He was first launched aboard the STS-116 Space Shuttle mission on December 10, 2006, making him the first Swedish citizen in space.
Guests:
Morgan Rehnberg ( MorganRehnberg.com & @MorganRehnberg )

Kimberly Cartier ( http://KimberlyCartier.org & @AstroKimCartier )
Their stories this week:
- An update on Boyajian’s Star

- Boeing crewed launch slips to 2018
- Kepler’s planet count doubles
- A four-planet system demonstrates migration

- Dwarf planet 2007 OR10 needs a name… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(225088)_2007_OR10
We’ve had an abundance of news stories for the past few months, and not enough time to get to them all. So we’ve started a new system. Instead of adding all of the stories to the spreadsheet each week, we are now using a tool called Trello to submit and vote on stories we would like to see covered each week, and then Fraser will be selecting the stories from there. Here is the link to the Trello WSH page (http://bit.ly/WSHVote), which you can see without logging in. If you’d like to vote, just create a login and help us decide what to cover!
We record the Weekly Space Hangout every Friday at 12:00 pm Pacific / 3:00 pm Eastern. You can watch us live on Google+, Universe Today, or the Universe Today YouTube page.
You can also join in the discussion between episodes over at our Weekly Space Hangout Crew group in G+!

Hosted by Joe Lalumina. His guests this time are Pete Miller in sunny (as if!) Scotland, Gordon Swinson in (actually sunny) California, Richard Byers (with bad, low-bandwidth audio — our apologies) in Woodbridge Virginia and Andy Piers in Scotland as well. The lads chat reminisce about their first "real" telescope.

How are nebulae formed or created? Where do they go when they’re done being nebulae? How is it linked to the formation of stars? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
