The 365 Days of Astronomy

http://unawe.org/kids/unawe1543/

Despite all our advances in astronomy, we have yet to make contact with an alien civilization. In fact, we still have no idea if aliens even exist. But given what we know about the Universe, the history of life on Earth and our own civilization, we are still able to make some intelligent guesses about what they could be like.

Using 3D printing, Florida students have built SAGAN---a WALL-E-esque Moon rover! After testing with dust at NASA, SAGAN’s gearing up for the Moon, and other exciting new developments. Come meet SAGAN's makers---the young pioneers, engineers, & entrepreneurs of Orlando who have dared to grab their dreams, and build for the Moon!

Dr. Paul Matt Sutter hosts.

This week I chat with Josh Dillon of MIT about the cosmic dawn, how to understand data, and…growing up.

Special thanks to The Ohio State University’s Center for Cosmology and Astro-Particle Physics for hosting this recording session.

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 another episode today!
This week astronomers announced an unusual transit signal from another star. Although it’s most likely a natural phenomenon, one remote possibility is that this is some kind of alien megastructure. Freeman Dyson and others have considered this idea for decades. Today we’ll talk about the kinds of structures that aliens might want to build.

For dozens of years, black holes have been the undisputed champions at forming powerful jets. In comparison, other objects make puny jets that are rarely bright enough for us to see. But now astronomers have discovered a star that wants to challenge the title.

Written by Steve Nerlich, narrated by Duranee.

Sometimes you have to sail into the wind…

The ISS has to deal with impacts on its surfaces. Some of those impacts aren't with orbiting debris, but are with atomic oxygen, where the oxygen atom is all by itself, not joined with another oxygen to make O2. Though not a nod to Dr. Who, there is an experiment called MISSE taking place on the ISS where samples of potential spacecraft surface materials are exposed to the hazards of outer space. There would also be solar wind and UV light and also cosmic rays impacting the materials if they were outside our magnetosphere.

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

Matt Kingsnorth from the Project Helium Tears debriefs us on his balloon launch to the edge of space, capturing images of the Earth, taking Awesome Astronomy listeners’ names onboard and filming a Star Wars X-Wing fighter against the black of space in May 2015. Quite by surprise, the onboard cameras even managed to capture images of the moon and a meteor streaking through the atmosphere below!

The video which you can see at https://youtu.be/SEerIGTm2nE went viral with more than 400,000 views.

Fall is a fabulous time to watch the stars be born. The evening sky brings a line up of the Orion Star Forming Region, the Pleiades Open Cluster, and the well dispersed Hyades Cluster in the constellation Taurus. Across these systems star formation is captured in all its stages and all it beauty. In this episode, we'll talk about these clusters and ways you can best explore star formation through cool activities.
