What’s the closest exoplanet to our solar system? What planet in our solar system should we colonize? Can microscopic black holes be created on Earth? Find the answer with @AstronomyCast
Can a gamma ray destroy a galaxy? Do black holes really absorb matter or do they have another purpose? Does the Universe ever come to an end? Lets explore the universe from the students questions.
Besides dark matter and dark energy, is there any possibility there’s anything else in outer space? What are the possibilities that white holes are really out there? More with @AstronomyCast
What do radio waves given off by stars sound like? What happens to the energy that goes into a black hole? More Q&A with @AstronomyCast at #365daysOfAstro
Once again, we’ve reached the end of a season here on Astronomy Cast, and it’s time for the summer hiatus. But the Universe never takes a break. What can we expect to happen over the summer while we’re catching up on our reading, building our gardens and planning for Season 17?
We’re going back to the Moon. In the next few years humans will set foot on the Moon again, ideally this time to stay. What needs to be done to prepare the way back to the Moon?
How’s the weather? Maybe a better question is… why’s the weather? What is it about planets and their atmospheres that create weather systems. What have planetary scientists learned about our Earth’s weather, and how does this relate to other planets in the Solar System. What is the most extreme weather we know of?
The permanently shadowed craters on the Moon are the focus of so much research. That’s because they seem to contain vast reserves of water ice. Water we could use for oxygen, propellant and so much more, but also, to help us understand where the Earth’s water came from.
Launching satellites from Earth is counter-productive. You’ve got to make a satellite that can handle Earth gravity, then the brutal flight to space, then deployment in orbit. What if you could build your spacecraft in space?
One of JWST’s top jobs is to peer deeper into the Universe than ever before, watching as the first galaxies came together. What’s going on and what does it mean for cosmology?
