Astronomers have long sought to map the night skies that can help scientists spot broad patterns across a population of objects, put new discoveries such as transient events in the context of their surroundings, and identify the best candidates for focused observations. And here’s The Siena Galaxy Atlas Project.
Space science isn’t where the money is… at least not yet. Astronomy and planetary science in the U.S. are funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation, and a variety of smaller foundations and extremely wealthy individuals.
This month we talk about what might have been in the Arthur C Clarke Awards, the latest weird discovery from JWST, the most detailed simulation of the Universe yet, British space plans, giggle at a Space Force painting, and have a look at what you can see in the sky this month.
A new research project called the Virgo Environment Traced in Carbon Monoxide Survey (VERTICO) used data collected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to understand just what is stripping star-forming gases out of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies
How long have astronomers been using artificial intelligence? How do computers sift through massive amounts of data? Will AI discover something new about the universe?
Another week, another review of space missions in the Solar System. Today we set our sights on the red planet. What are all the active missions at Mars today?
Today Travelers in the Night will discuss about a mysterious piece of space hardware comes back to Earth and Aten asteroids that spend most of their time inside the Earth’s orbit.
In November Saturn and Jupiter are the steady highlights above, Venus shines brilliantly before dawn, and rocks fall from the sky.
Today’s EVSN will look at how we now work to understand the history of life on Earth by studying the geology of our planet and apply them to Mars, and exoplanets.
Time for Observer’s Caledar for November with @ActualAstronomy. Today’s episode talk about Jupiter at opposition and the Moon pairs with Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter and Uranus then M45 late this month.
