On November 2, 2016 NASA announced the assembly of #JWST and that it is now ready to begin the testing phase of the mission. Join us as Carol and Tony discuss the status and the future of this amazing space telescope mission, still scheduled f
Download all visuals here:http://bit.ly/2g1EQloA search for binary stars that emit gamma-rays using NASA’s Fermi satellite turned up a luminous object in another galaxy. These objects are characteristically variable. Using additional teles
Using archive data from the Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers are building a more complete picture of rapidly spinning stars. These are stellar objects that spin much more fast than our sun, roughly 10 times faster and exhibit some strange p
This week Carol and I are trying an experiment. This episode is the audio portion of an Astro Coffee Hangout we did last week on the Deep Astronomy YouTube Channel that featured the latest results from NASA's New Horizons probe to Pluto.Ther
This week, Carol and Tony discuss Carol's recent trip to Guadalajara Mexico where she attended the International Astronautical Congress meeting.She give us her insight into Elon Musk's speech on SpaceX's plans to get to Mars along with other
This week's episode takes a look at comet breakups and how we find and measure comets. We also take a look at asteroids and examine their danger of hitting us.
Welcome to our first news roundup. The topics for today: SpaceX Explosion; The latest on Juno at Jupiter; ESA's Philae lander found on Comet 67P; 35 years of Voyager I and II Probes
Summer in hot dry climates such as in the U.S. western states often provides the perfect conditions for wildfires such as hot temperatures, low humidity and wind. In addition, lightning strikes and careless people can spark fires as well. Sat
NASA's OSIRIS-REx Mission is scheduled to launch on Sept. 8th from the Kennedy Space Center. It will travel to the asteroid known as Bennu and study it extensively. Oh yeah, and it will also grab a sample and bring it back to Earth.Learn mo
The Cassini spacecraft has been 19 years studying Saturn and its moons and is still returning amazing science results. This week, Carol and Tony discuss the latest images of Saturn's moon Titan.
Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is an international satellite mission to provide next-generation observations of rain and snow worldwide every three hours. NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the GPM Core O
Did you know that the martian atmosphere is slowly disappearing? NASA launched MAVEN in an attempt to find out why. What is causing the erosion of the atmosphere? How is it studying it? What does it mean for finding life on Mars?
Have you ever wondered how scientists and engineers work to protect our space telescopes from the harmful environment of space? What about EMP's? What threats to they pose and what are the biggest factors concerning the safety of our space tel
Astronomers think there are probably more planets in orbit around other stars than there are stars in our galaxy. This week, explore the fledgling science of exoplanet astronomy with Tony and Carol and they discuss how these planets are detect
NASA's Dawn mission just completed its science phase on June 30th, 2016. It is the only spacecraft to have orbited two different bodies in our solar system: the minor planet Ceres and the asteroid Vesta. What have we learned about these bodie
Did you know that NASA works with the USAID that provide observations and state-of-the-art imagery and data to developing countries around the world? The images and data provided by SERVIR, the collaboration of over 80 countries helps governme
The Hubble Constant is essential in relating the expansion speed of galaxies in the universe with their distance. This number has quite a colorful history that culminated in being a prime science driver for building the Hubble Space Telescope.
Last year the European Space Agency's Rosetta Mission arrived at Comet 67P after a 10 year gravitationally assisted trip. The episode Tony and Carol discuss how they got there and what this mission is teaching us about comets, our place in the
Ep #16: NuSTAR and X-Ray Astronomy - Counting Black Holes and Understanding the High-Energy Universe
NASA's NuSTAR mission is looking at the high energy universe to help us understand the nature and distribution of black holes in the galaxy and our universe at large. It is also providing insight into how supernovae create the heavier elements
Ever hear of a Star Shade? If not, never fear! Carol and Tony discuss this brand new program that test the technology that will help us find more exoplanets in our galaxy. This program is destined to change the way we look at our universe for
What role do space telescopes play in helping our understanding of the outer solar system? What have observations of Pluto, Eris, KBO's and comets shown us?
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is the next space telescope from NASA to help us understand and quantify the number of exoplanets in our galaxy by looking at the entire sky at over 200,000 stars.
This week, the Kepler Space Telescope (K2) returns from emergency mode; a Russian Billionaire wants to sent nanoprobes to the stars; the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WISE) surveys the entire sky in the IR twice and is repurposed to loo
The field of X-ray astronomy is relatively new and making X-ray observations is very difficult and can only be done in space. The atmosphere protects us from these high-energy particles, but advances in space telescope detectors and mirror tec
Was there a problem with the ExoMars probe as it exited Earth's orbit towards the Red Planet? What about Hitomi, the Japanese X-ray Space Telescope? Did it break up in orbit over the Earth? There is good news: The venerable Kepler Space Teles
