I can't get Charles Dickens out of my head today: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” That quote seems very fitting as we close out a crazy year. Join Dustin Gibson from OPT Telescopes and Tony Darnell of Deep Astronomy as we look back at the year gone by and take a look ahead to the future.

Join us for a discussion of some of the noteworthy astronomy books that make great gifts for Christmas. Brian Keating joins us to discuss some of the books that have caught his eye as he interviewed dozens of guests this past year.

Have you been wondering, as I have, what the latest news is on the amazing space telescope known as LISA? Well wonder no longer as members of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) team will be on hand to give us an update and answer your questions. LISA will be the first space-based gravitational wave observatory. Selected to be ESA's third large-class mission, it will address the science theme of the Gravitational Universe. LISA will consist of three spacecraft separated by 2.5 million km in a triangular formation, following Earth in its orbit around the Sun. Launch is expected in 2034. LISA will aim to tackle a number of key themes under the Cosmic Vision science theme of 'The Gravitational Universe'. As part of its core science objectives, it will: Study the formation and evolution of compact binary stars in the Milky Way galaxy; Trace the origin, growth and merger history of massive black holes across cosmic ages; Probe the dynamics of dense nuclear clusters using extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs); Understand the astrophysics of stellar-origin black holes; Explore the fundamental nature of gravity and black holes; Probe the rate of expansion of the Universe; Understand stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds and their implications for the early Universe and TeV-scale particle physics; Search for gravitational wave bursts and unforeseen sources. #LiveAstronomy #DeepAstronomy Interested in supporting Deep Astronomy and getting great telescope gear?

It isn't everyday that humanity touches down on other celestial bodies and this week, the OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft successfully touches the asteroid known as Bennu and managed to collect a sample to bring home to Earth. I thought it would be fun to get together ans show some highlights of the amazing event. Support Deep Astronomy and buy cool astronomy gear from OPT at the same time!

Space systems are vital to our everyday existence here on Earth. GPS, national defense, infrastructure and many other systems all rely heavily on spacecraft. Recently, emerging threats have increased the priority of space cybersecurity initiatives including the recently enacted fifth Space Policy Directive. What are companies and governments doing to determine and implement best practices to ensure a secure space environment? How can these entities address the diverse and growing list of threats, perceived or real? What will it take to truly secure the space-centric environment? Join us to discuss this timely and critical topic! This American Astronautical Society “Future in Space” online session is available for FREE and on-line participants have the ability to submit questions to the speakers. This session will set the stage for future, more detailed discussions of the science needs, programs, risks, and challenges in missions to support the human lunar exploration.

We know that white dwarf stars are the stellar remnants of the death of a star roughly the size of our Sun. These stars are embers that slowly cool over eons into black dwarfs. The time required for this to happen is so long that most of the universe will be gone by then. But then, according to Dr. Matt Caplan, these black dwarfs can explode into fiery supernovae long after the universe has gone dark. How is this possible? Please join Tony Darnell as he discusses the end of all things with Dr. Matt Caplan.
