The 365 Days of Astronomy

Asteroid 2024 YR4 stirs anxiety, but how do astronomers gauge the risk? Discover the sophisticated methods for tracking and assessing asteroid orbits. The DART mission's role in asteroid deflection shines light on potential strategies against threats like Apophis. Advances in detection systems like ATLAS are crucial as smaller asteroids pose challenges. Collaborative global efforts in asteroid research highlight the necessity of community engagement and ongoing support for educational media in the quest to protect our planet.

Dive into the cosmic realm as micro-meteorites rain down on Earth, with hundreds of thousands of pounds entering our atmosphere daily. Discover how you can collect your own beautiful samples of this celestial dust. Meanwhile, scientists have simulated the effects of an asteroid striking the ocean, revealing intriguing insights about impact dynamics and tsunami generation. These fascinating findings shed light on the catastrophic potential of these cosmic visitors, while also highlighting the beauty of our universe's remnants.

Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize, Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. From October 19, 2023. Professor Matthew Bailes returns to discuss his recent work on Pulsars as well as his thoughts and feelings on winning the 2023 Shaw Prize for the discovery of Fast Radio Bursts.   Professor Matthew Bailes is an astrophysicist from the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne University of Technology and the Director of OzGrav. His work primarily focuses on millisecond pulsars and detecting Fast Radio Bursts. Professor Bailes was awarded the 2023 Shaw Prize in Astronomy along with Duncan Lorimer & Maura McLaughlin for the discovery of Fast Radio Bursts. Congrats!   During the episode Professor Bailes discusses new and exciting insights from his recent research, his work on the Meertime project, how his spam filter nearly cost him the Shaw Prize and why microwaves must be used with caution when searching for Fast Radio Bursts.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

From February 4, 2022. New simulations find that to form a moon with a similar size ratio to our own system, certain types of planets are needed. And that type of moon-planet system could then be beneficial to the rise of life on the planet. Plus, a Starlink launch, puffy planets, and training astronauts underwater for spacewalks.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
