Astroseismologists are combining data from TESS, Kepler, and eventually JWST to study stellar oscillations in ‘infant’ stars, with the goal of creating new models for how such young stars form and evolve over time
Join us today for October sky with @AwesomeAstroPod and discussion about where space begins, JWST, the worth of Artemis and how the infamous Elephant Trunk nebulae incident happened.
Who developed quantum theory and why? What experiments motivated the creation of quantum mechanics? How was quantum mechanics a total break from classical physics?
To battle climate change, we’ll need to rapidly move to carbon-free sources of energy. But this technology isn’t a free lunch. They require metals, generate waste and deplete the environment. What’s the best way to balance this shift?
Today’s travelers in the night talks about Rose Matheny discovery and about Lichen could flourish in Mars-like conditions
Halloween month brings us some spooooooooky astronomy. Saturn and Jupiter soar ominously above, Mars creeps in, and rocks fall from the sky.
JWST has already directly imaged its first exoplanet! What are we able to learn about these planets from the data collected? How does exoplanet geology compare with our own geology here on Earth? Plus news roundup with @WSHCrew
October Actual Astronomy focus on how to get the most out of the Great Jupiter Opposition. Also several pairings between the Moon & Planets, observing bands & storms on Jupiter, as well as asteroid.
TOI 849b is an exoplanet located about 730 light years away from Earth. Due to its close proximity to its star the atmosphere of this exoplanet was blasted away by its host star, leaving behind a naked core. This is the first ever planetary core discovered by astronomers.
