• NOIRLab - Messengers of Time and Space

  NSF NOIRLab, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), has released the fulldome planetarium show, Messengers of Time and Space. This free-to-download production brings the combination of the International Gemini Observatory, funded in part by NSF and operated by NSF NOIRLab, and NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, funded by NSF and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science and jointly operated by NOIRLab and DOE’s SLAC, to the forefront of humanity’s quest to understand our ever-changing cosmos. This podcast discusses the production process of this planetarium show and tells listeners where how they can view the show.   Bios:  - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Peter Michaud is a member of the Communications, Education and Engagement group at Gemini Observatory in Hawaii. - Ron Proctor is an experienced science communicator and immersive media producer specializing in astronomy data visualization. With a background in planetarium education and a deep knowledge of Blender, Ron transforms complex scientific discoveries into compelling visual experiences for planetarium domes, Science on a Sphere, media releases and public outreach. Currently at NSF NOIRLab, Ron leads the creation of 360º content and tools that bring cutting-edge research to general audiences. Ron's work bridges the gap between scientists and the public, driven by a passion for storytelling, education, and technological innovation.   Links: NOIRLab Press Release: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2518/  Messengers Of Space And Time Download: https://noirlab.edu/public/videos/messengers/  NOIRLab social media channels can be found at https://www.facebook.com/NOIRLabAstro https://twitter.com/NOIRLabAstro https://www.instagram.com/noirlabastro/ https://www.youtube.com/noirlabastro   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!

• EVSN - Moon Rock Samples Show Signs of Late Volcanism

  From October 7, 2021. An analysis of the most recent sample taken from the Moon and returned by the Chang’e-5  mission shows that the basaltic rock is about two billions years old. This age implies a previously unknown heat source in the region. Plus, how plants and animals record climate change, and this week’s What’s Up.   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!

• Exoplanet Radio - The Importance Of Gliese 581g

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6_HooIJLNc From Oct 12, 2010. The fact that we've found a habitable planet candidate so soon after starting our search has important implications for the number of habitable planets that may exist in our galaxy - which was estimated to be around 10 billion.     Having found Gliese 581g so soon though, may mean one of two things.  Either we were very lucky, or there are more planets out there than we thought.  Based on this discovery, it's possible that we may have many more habitable planets than originally thought.     Perhaps 20 to 30 billion stars in our galaxy may have conditions suitable for life.   Music used: https://archive.org/details/brokenkites_ctrl_alt_rmx https://archive.org/details/Conventional_Space   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!
