Finally found after 75 years! Asteroid 878 Mildred! Also the Catalina Sky Survey has a newly refurbished 40″ robotic telescope that is only used for follow-up observations so that the venerable 30″ & 60″ can look for new targets.
Today’s @cosmicsavannah take a step back from astronomy and focus on mental health in academia and beyond. More about it with Dr Jack Radcliffe
This week EVSN look at the upcoming solar maximum, how solar activity affects Neptune, the robotic invasion fleet on Mars, and how some of the weirdest star systems in reality have been able to form. In our closer look, we fail to see dark matter.
Exoplanet discoveries have been piling up faster and faster over the last decade. With the addition of JWST’s capabilities, previously discovered exoplanets are now being analyzed for their atmospheric composition, and the results are intriguing. Today SETI Live discuss about exoplanet K2-18 b that was found to contain carbon dioxide and methane
What’s floating around in space between all the stuff? Are there any truly empty places in the universe? What is the “fabric” of spacetime?

This episode reminds you to look up, look out, and reflect on what we see around us. Stories cover a weird white dwarf that is doing things our Sun may do billions of years from now, how satellite images can now be used to measure river flows here and on Mars, and Titan, as well as the emerging field of planetary geoarcheology. And also climate change. Buckle up, the news isn’t good.
