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 the Equinox.

Astronomy has a reputation for being shaped by deep thinkers like Einstein. Join us for a controversial talk that instead suggests astronomy is now in its golden phase due to rapid advances in technology, not due to ideas. Timestamps and links are included below: Announcements: 00:00​​ Introduction to Presenter: 03:51 Presentation on Technology Driving Astronomy: 7:22 Q&A Panel Introductions: 41:13 Where do humans factor into science in the future? 43:33 How should we interpret the tension between the two discrepant values for the Hubble Constant? 47:09 How should we apply Occam's Razor to theories? 49:21 What's wrong with modern (astro)physics today? 51:33 What about string theory? 55:05 What about doing theory for theory's sake--should there be consequences for bad hypotheses? 59:26 How do we rescue astronomy from the theorists? 1:00:57 How far away can we directly image exoplanets? 1:06:10 Could we image an Earth around a Sun as an exoplanet? 1:08:17 Could blastwaves from supernovae be detected (or a danger for us) on Earth? 1:10:14 Could distant gamma-ray bursts affect things here on Earth? 1:16:01 Could a supernova have torn away Mars' atmosphere? 1:19:12 Are brown dwarfs the dust bins of the galaxy? 1:21:08 What are your thoughts on Oumuamua's origin? 1:23:45 How should controversial arguments in science be settled? 1:28:15 When was the first exoplanet discovered? 1:32:41 Have we discovered any exo-moons? 1:37:37 Were Saturn and Jupiter once brown dwarfs? 1:40:00 How many exoplanets that we've found are probably brown dwarfs? 1:42:06 What roles do black holes play in star and planet formation? 1:44:53 What about the Trappist exoplanetary system? 1:49:48 Do most stars host many planets? 1:52:23 How can junior scientists still make high-impact results without some uncertainty in observations? 1:55:31 Closing Remarks: 2:00:03 Participants: Professor Shri Kulkarni is the George Ellery Hale Professor of Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology. During his time as a professor at Caltech beginning in 1987, he has served as both department chair as well as Director of Caltech Optical Observatories (Palomar and Keck Observatories). Among his many accolades, Professor Kulkarni is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, has received the Helen B. Warner Award from the American Astronomical Society, and the Alan T Waterman Prize from the National Science Foundation awarded to the most accomplished scientist, doctor, engineer working in the USA under the age of 35 at the time. Prof. Kulkarni's primary interests are the study of compact objects (neutron stars and gamma-ray bursts) and cosmic explosions, and he was on the science teams who first discovered a millisecond pulsar, a brown dwarf, a galactic fast radio burst, and determined that gamma ray bursts are at cosmological distances. He is currently the director of the Zwicky Transient Survey, a large scale effort to monitor the sky for short-timescale phenomena. https://sites.astro.caltech.edu/~srk/ Dr. Ilaria Caiazzo is an astrophysics postdoc at Caltech. She is interested in stars, in their lives and in their afterlives. Her main focus is on the remnants of stellar deaths: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. When she’s not looking at stars, she is watching movies, and she sometimes writes or produces small ones. http://ilariacaiazzo.com/ Julie Inglis is a PhD student in planetary sciences at Caltech. She is interested in the atmospheres and formation of extrasolar planets and satellites. She uses computers to simulate the formation of satellites from dust disks around forming planets, as well as direct imaging and spectroscopy techniques to probe the atmospheres of young giant planets at wide separations from their host planets to understand more about the formation processes of these objects. When she steps away from her computer for a break, she enjoys hiking and camping with friends, and writing and art. Dr. Cameron Hummels is a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical astrophysics at Caltech. He creates supercomputer simulations to study the formation and evolution of galaxies since the Big Bang. In addition to astrophysics and public education, he is really enthusiastic about trail-running, long-distance backpacking, beer brewing, chess, and the astronaut program. http://chummels.org

The summit of Mauna Kea is perfect for astronomy but it's also regarded as one of the most sacred lands for Native Hawaiians. We get a look inside the two sides that have been debating about the construction of one of the largest ground telescopes in the world. » Subscribe to Seeker! http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Visit our shop at http://shop.seeker.com Thumbnail Credit: Courtesy TMT International Observatory On the island of Hawaii sits a dormant volcano named Mauna Kea. It’s the highest point in Hawaii, and if you measure from the sea floor, it’s the tallest mountain in the world. And this height, paired with a few other important elements, has made it home to numerous observatories. But, this mountain isn’t just a perfect place to peer deep into the vastness of our universe. It’s also a very sacred place for the local native Hawaiian people, who have been protesting the construction of a newly planned telescope since the site was selected for construction in 2009. This film, from co-directors Carter Lau and Duncan Heger as well as their team from Chapman University, looks to shed light on an important debate that may have been tragically overlooked so many times in the past; science vs culture. This is Beyond the Mauna. #documentary #seekerindie #seeker #nature #conservation ____________________ Seeker empowers the curious to understand the science shaping our world.

What happens when you’re lost and you don’t have your phone or any recognizable landmarks to give you directions? Well, you look up at the stars. » Subscribe to Seeker! http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Visit our shop at http://shop.seeker.com » Catch up on Constellations! https://bit.ly/3uKysSS The stars that we see in the sky today are the same ones that guided the ancient Egyptians in building their pyramids and maritime travelers in their travels around the globe. Many of the techniques that guided people in the past are similar to the ones that we use in our modern world. That’s because during any time of the year anywhere on Earth, the stars appear over the horizon at predictable heights and at measurable distances. For example, Polaris — what most people know as the “North Star”— is an easy target when you’re navigating in the Northern Hemisphere. First thing you want to do is find Ursa Major, also called “The Big Dipper” in the United States. Depending on where you are, and what time of day and year it is, the Big Dipper will be in a different part of the sky, but it’s always circling the North Star. Plus, it’s a pretty recognizable feature.Once you’ve located the Big Dipper, take a look at it’s “bucket”. On the front edge of this “bucket” are two stars, Merak and Dubhe. Draw an imaginary line from Merak, through Dubhe out to the bright star of Polaris. That’s the North Star! Now that you’ve found the North Star, you’ve also found the “Little Dipper.” The reason we use the North Star is because it hardly moves making it a reliable navigational point. However, the North Star isn’t much help if you’re in the Southern hemisphere. You have to catch it at the right time and place. So, if you’re in the south, you’re going to need the constellation called the “Southern Cross”. #stars #navigation #NASA #NICER #sextant #constellations #astronomy #astrology #science #seeker -- Read more: How to Navigate By the Stars https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/29/magazine/how-to-navigate-by-the-stars.html "As seafarers have done for millenniums, you can determine about how many miles north of the Equator you are by measuring the distance between the North Star and the horizon. To do this, stretch out your arm. For most, one fist equals approximately 10 degrees; latitudinal degrees each represent about 69 miles." From dung beetles to seals, these animals navigate by the stars https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/stars-milky-way-navigation-dung-beetles "Humans have been navigating by the stars since ancient times, but a small yet diverse group of species also use the night sky to get around. Some recognize the movement of star patterns, while others get their bearings via particularly bright individual stars. A few even plot their course via our galaxy, the Milky Way." Sextant, Apollo Guidance and Navigation System https://www.ion.org/museum/item_view.cfm?cid=6&scid=5&iid=293 "As astronauts traveled toward the Moon, they never were in absolute darkness. Establishing the Earth’s limb was difficult due to the planet’s atmosphere, although the astronauts went through extensive training at the Instrumentation Lab to learn to recognize a point on the horizon that they could return to consistently. On the positive side, correcting for gyroscopic drift was relatively a straightforward process. The astronaut would key in the code for a star into the computer, and the computer in turn would rotate the spacecraft until that star appeared in the telescope’s cross-hairs." -- You can probably point to the Big Dipper, Orion's Belt, and your astrological sign in the sky. But what would the constellations look like from another solar system? And will any of Orion’s stars ever become black holes? In Seeker Constellations, we'll explain the science of the universe’s most famous stars and dive into the culturally significant stories behind them. Most importantly, we’ll provide a guide to where you can see these incredible constellations for yourself! -- Seeker empowers the curious to understand the science shaping our world.

Watch "Countdown to JWST" Series on https://odysee.com/@DeepAstronomy:0 One of the most important activities that professional astronomers are engaged in is looking for asteroids out there that might hit the Earth and in THAT task, they can use all the help they can get. With today's amateur equipment it is now possible to engage in professional-level sky searches for asteroids that help keep tabs on all the big rocks out in the solar system, some of which are potentially hazardous to us. Mike Forslund, aka Asteroid Hunters has set up an automated system in his driveway that assists astronomers in locating and tracking asteroids. In this episode, Mike updates us on what's changed for him (turns out it's a lot!) since our last time together.
