Title : Awesome Astronomy September 2022 Part 2 (The Space Exploration Show)

Organization: Awesome Astronomy

Link : www.awesomeastronomy.com

Description:

The Discussion:

  • Farewell Frank Drake
  • It’s uncrewed, not unmanned!
  • Filming with the BBC again
  • Listeners’ emails on city astronomy and the missing AweAst show this month

The News

  • JWST unearths a huge cosmic riddle
  • Artemis 1 moon launch delays
  • Solar astronomers solve one of the great mysteries about the Sun
  • A round up of all the incredible things that have happened in space this month (thanks to @jessicaxlis for the inspiration… and much of the content!)

Skyguide:

As we’re a little late in the month for a September skyguide, this is a quick guide to the astronomy events to observe over the next few months. Pay attention because there’s some great oppositions, occultations, eclipses, meteor showers and possibly even a couple of naked eye comets!

Q&A:
Can red-shift, spectroscopy, mass evaluations etc still be counted on even after the images have been distorted & magnified by foreground galaxies? Can the effect of gravitational lensing be accurately accounted for? From our good friend Alan Beech in the UK.
