Check out the september sky guide and astronomy news round up with @AwesomeAstroPod. This week we have Damage of Arecibo Obs, The Dimming Betelgeuse, The search for the missing matter in the Milky Way and more.
Today @Nmcanopus will talk about Mars climate which has changed dramatically over the eons and what would the space alien receive if it pointed its radio antennas at our Sun?
Scientists have samples of the Sun’s solar wind, particles from a comet’s tail, a few grams from an asteroid, with more coming shortly. But there’s still no sample return from Mars. NASA & ESA have been making plans to bring sample home from Mars.
Join us today as we talk about newly released research that suggests the waters on ancient Mars were subglacial and not free-flowing. Also, a black hole goes dormant and star formation goes wild.
launching a rocket powered by radioactive material has its own risks as well. Should we attempt it?
Today we consider Mars, the next planet in our journey through the Solar System. It’s a cold, dry desert, so why does this planet hold such fascination?
Here we go! We will have helicopter flying on Mars. It is on the way to Mars mounted on Perseverance rover. More about it and how do we hunt life on Mars & Why aren’t we going to Europa?
The rest of summer is PERFECT for the amateur and beginner observer! Saturn and Jupiter are visible all night, Venus is easy to spot in the morning, Mars and Mercury offer a challenge for the early risers and the annual Perseid meteor shower is coming up August 12th.
Join us today as we look at all the spacecraft mission updates. First up, NASA’s New Horizons mission is searching for another Kuiper Belt Object to pass. Next, the Emirates Hope orbiter is set to launch to Mars this month. Finally, we get to share brand new images from the NASA/ESA Solar Orbiter, fresh off the press this morning.
The major challenges to colonize Mars is how to supply the air, food, and water necessary to survive and flourish. More at #365DaysOfAstro
