The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast is a project that is publishing one podcast per day, 5 to 10 minutes in duration, for all 365 days of 2009. The podcast episodes are written, recorded and produced by people around the world. We are looking for individual
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006.
Today's 2 topics:
- Our host, Al Grauer, found 2016 VA in a hole in the clouds on a murky night. The rock passed 59,000 miles away from Earth, traveling 13 miles/sec. It'll be back in 2024.
- NASA's Curiosity rover has studied a shiny, smooth rock on Mars' Mt. Sharp. Nicknamed "Egg Rock" it appears to be a nickel/iron meteorite.

On June 30th, 1908, a fireball was seen streaking across the morning sky in a remote area of Siberia in Russia. Seconds later, an explosion ripped through the air with enough energy to destroy an area of forest almost the size of Tokyo, flattening about 80 million trees. The earth trembled and many windows were smashed at the Vanavara trading post 65 kilometers away. And the people there felt the heat from the blast.

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips and John Wildridge produce.
The Discussion: Combating light pollution for the AstroCamp in the Welsh Brecon Beacons and fighting to help the National Park retain its International Dark Sky Reserve status. Then we turn our attention to politics in space science and listeners’ views on politics in podcasts.
The News: Rounding up the space and astronomy news this month we have:
The Hat of Woo: This month we look at EM drives and NASA’s cover up hiding the warp drive they’ve developed at their super-secret Eagleworks and aren’t using but they definitely, definitely have it. Honestly.

Welcome to the 8th episode of the Urban Astronomer Podcast! This week, Cathrine continues her series on The Planets with the hottest world in our Solar System: Venus. Allen then reports on the discovery, by a telescope at SAAO's facility in Sutherland, of KELT-11b, an unusually inflated exoplanet. And finally we look at what is apparently a common question in parts of the world: Is it safe to watch a Lunar Eclipse, while pregnant?

From September 24, 2007.
In the last few weeks we’ve had many emails saying that our tour of the solar system would not be complete without a show on the asteroid belt. Your wish is our command! We talked about Mars in episode 52, and now that we’re back on track our next stop is the asteroid belt.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006.
Today's 2 topics:
- The Schiaparelli lander crashed on Mars. It was a joint mission by the ESA and Roscosmos. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter that ferried it to Mars, however, fared better and is ready to do good science in orbit.
- Rose Matheny is still at it! She discovered 2016 RB1, which was on a very close pass by Earth. The metal-rich and 20' diameter object is not big enough to cause any significant damage to the planet, though. It would have made some nice meteorites, however.

From Aug 13, 2016.
Description: On August 21st, 2017, the United States will experience a total solar eclipse on a path crossing the country from Oregon to South Carolina. This eclipse presents a rare opportunity to study the Sun’s inner corona. The Citizen Continental-American Telescopic Eclipse Experiment (Citizen CATE) will station 60 telescopes across the country to capture a continuous, uninterrupted movie of the Sun’s corona during totality. Four Research Experience For Undergraduates (REU) students have spent the summer at the National Solar Observatory in Tucson analyzing date from telescope tests done in Indonesia during the March 9th, 2016 total solar eclipse in Indonesia and preparing for the 2017 total solar eclipse. This podcast explores the Citizen CATE Experiment and lets you learn how to get involved in this exciting citizen science project.

Hosted by Steve Nerlich.
Nicolaus Copernicus is commonly acknowledged for establishing the heliocentric model of the solar system – and indeed the general principle that the Earth is not only not the centre of the Universe, but that it does not occupy any kind of central or privileged position. There’s no doubt Copernicus was a polymath and a jolly-clever fellow, but did it all really start with him?

Over several years, astronomers using the Chandra X-Ray Space Observatory have noticed mysterious flares of X-ray light coming from Sgr A*.
Not only that, but the flashes are also seen in the infrared by the ESO's VLT at Chile's Paranal Observatory.
Now, astronomers think that these flares of light may be caused by Sgr A* gobbling up asteroids, just like the streak of light that we see in the night sky when meteors burn up.
