Sagas in the Sky explores some of the stories behind the celestial objects in the night sky. In this episode, we look at the story behind Fermi's Gamma-Ray Constellations and Mjolnir.

Summer is here (for us northern hemisphere folks, anyway)! In this week's Cosmic Coffee, Lowell Observatory Educators Jos Schindler and Hailey Osborn will talk about some of the most prominent sights in the evening summer sky, focusing on the constellations Scorpius and Sagittarius.

Behind-the-scenes interviews describing how astronomy data is collected today. Featuring: Celia Verdugo and Peter Moore

Join us for a livestream in celebration of National Astronomy Day and the 125th anniversary of the historic Clark Telescope! Starting at 8:30pm PDT, join Lowell educators at the Clark Refractor for live views of the Sombrero Galaxy, the first object that was observed--by Vesto Slipher--to have been redshifted. Lowell astronomer Deidre Hunter will discuss the Sombrero's importance to Slipher’s research on what we know today as galaxies, her own modern-day galaxy research, and how she got interested in astronomy. You'll also hear all about the Clark's fascinating history and its place in popular culture.

Lecture Starts at 12:59 www.pswscience.org PSW #2440 May 7, 2021 Satellite Constellations and Astronomy: Satellite Interference with Astronomical Observations and Potential Remedies Tony Tyson UC-Davis; Chief Scientist, Rubin Observatory A number of companies and governments are in various stages of planning or deploying bright satellites in low-Earth orbit in unprecedentedly large numbers. These “mega constellations” will fundamentally change astronomical observing at visible wavelengths. Night-time images will be contaminated by streaks due to the passage of sun-illuminated satellites, and radio astronomy will experience significant interference. If the proposals for the most serious constellations are realized, no combination of mitigations will be able to fully avoid the negative impacts that the over 50,000 satellites will have on many science programs of current and planned ground-based and space-based astronomy facilities. This lecture will discuss the Rubin Observatory’s planned Legacy Survey of Space and Time, satellite streak simulations, lab tests of the Rubin’s CCD sensors, and work with SpaceX on mitigation. Tony Tyson is Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Davis. Before that, he worked for 35 years at Bell Labs in the physics division. While applying CCDs to astronomy in the early 1980’s he discovered a population of faint blue galaxies, and then pioneered the field of weak gravitational lensing, creating maps of dark matter using the gravitational mirage of these distant galaxies. His current research is in cosmology: the nature of dark matter and dark energy. He has led an international effort to build a new kind of telescope/camera called the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, recently renamed the Vera Rubin Observatory. Its Legacy Survey of Space and Time will begin in 2024. He was director from 2003-2013 and is now Chief Scientist. Tony is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. He earned a BS in Physics at Stanford and a PhD in condensed matter physics at the University of Wisconsin. www.pswscience.org

Automating an observing run is one of the most efficient uses of your equipment. You can plan the night's observing, then let your equipment do the work! But what do you need to make this possible? What can you expect for results? Support Deep Astronomy and buy cool astronomy gear from OPT at the same time!

To celebrate the premiere of @Coldplay's latest single 'Higher Power’, the band linked up for an extraterrestrial video chat with French ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who is currently on a six-month mission on board the International Space Station. A specially recorded performance of Higher Power - featuring dancing alien holograms - was beamed up to Thomas, who gave the track its very first play on board the Station. The song’s premiere followed a conversation which took in similarities between life on tour and life on the Space Station, how planet Earth looks from space and its fragility; and how Thomas listens to music in microgravity.

This week on Space Radio Live I rant… errrr, talk… about the Pro (yes, singular,) and Cons of having thousands of small communication satellites orbiting the Earth. I also answer some viewer questions, including: ► Why are scientists so surprised to find galaxies at the edge of the observable Universe? ► How the inherent nature of Space-Time impacts Earth-based observations using light that has just arrived here; ► … and much more.

From its vantage point in New Mexico, the Very Large Array will map 80 percent of the sky in three phases over seven years and is expected to catalog approximately 10 million radio sources. The survey will collect data from powerful, cosmic sources allowing the scientific community to image supernova explosions, gamma-ray bursts, and the collisions of neutron stars that are obscured from visible-light telescopes by thick clouds of dust. The VLA’s ability to see through dust and clouds will make the survey an important tool in the discovery of new radio objects. Join our host Summer Ash of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory as she talks about how the VLA is taking the time to see the big picture of the radio sky.
