The 365 Days of Astronomy

Hosted by Steve Nerlich.

It's not just about being on time... being in space is also important.

1. Choosing the right moment.

2. The gravity of the situation.

3. Making your move.

4. It feels like falling.

5. Doing the math.

6. Making your own destiny.

Astronomers using the ALMA radio telescope array in Chile have been trying to answer another simple question, one that they ask themselves: Why are more stars being born in some galaxies than others?

- Sierra Nevada's Dream Catcher space shuttle comes back as a cargo ship!

- Death throes of a Betelgeuse! 500K (440°F) is confusingly cool!

- China ostensibly plans to land on the lunar far side.

Today I will answer this question. If the Moon's gravity is larger than Pluto, why does Pluto have an atmosphere while the Moon doesn’t?

This episode will feature special guest Dr. William Farrell of the Dynamic Response of the Environments at Asteroids, the Moon and moons of Mars program will take you on a tour de force of those diffuse atmospheres lurking around asteroids, the Moon, and Mars. 
You can catch our entire series by clicking the videos link above. The CLSE Hangout series explores the modern Lunar exploration as we consider the science, technology, training, and education that are required to understand our nearest neighbor and prepare for the eventual return of mankind.

Why doesn’t quantum mechanics agree with general relativity? Will we ever have a quantum picture of gravity? What are some candidates? What does it have to do with cuss words?

Something big is brewing in the science world this week, and Pamela is able to share it with us today. Please everyone to join us for this Astronomy Cast on a special day! We talk today about sexual harassment and sexual abuse in the sciences. Not an easy topic to do, but it's way too important not to cover. With names such as Richard Feynman, James Watson, James Webb and Geoff Marcy on the predator list we just HAVE to do better. We have to. Let's start by ending the institutionalized, silencing Title IX "confidentiality agreements" that shelter the abusers. Let's send the message that women in science matter.
