DEEP ASTRONOMY

This year marks the ninth year that I started posting this news series. It all started with the winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society in 2011 and continues to this day. In this episode, at a town hall held on the first day of AAS meeting, NASA program managers and scientists express confidence that the James Webb Space Telescope will launch as currently scheduled in March 2021. Also, I got more feedback from my JWST reporting, this time from the Public Affairs Office at NASA. #JWST #SpaceFanNews #AAS235 Watch Last 2 JWST Videos Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeW37uKip1c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUzp8tLiCCc Get Mova Globe Here: http://bit.ly/deepastronMOVAGlobes Read More Here: https://spacenews.com/jwst-remains-on-schedule-for-march-2021-launch/ https://spacenews.com/jwst-schedule-margin-shrinks/ Join our Chat on Discord here: https://discord.gg/nqGpvtK Like this content?

Future in Space Hangouts are sponsored by the American Astronautical Society. Become a member today: https://astronautical.org/membership Today’s advances in materials, testing capabilities, and reactor development are providing impetus for NASA to appraise Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) as an attractive 21st century option to propel human exploration missions to Mars and other deep space destinations. NASA along with private companies are working on the technology that could cut mission time to Mars in half, leaving astronauts less exposed to the hazards of space including the impact on the human body of exposure to microgravity. First generation NTP systems could cut total mission duration in half, while still leaving adequate time for Mars surface exploration. With NTP, missions to Mars could be achieved at times when Earth and the Red Planet are in less favorable orbital positions relative to each other. Please Join Tony Darnell as he talks with Dr. Jonathan Witter (Chief NTP Engineer BWX Technologies), Michael Houts (Marshall Space Flight Center), and John Horack (Ohio State University) as we discuss the exciting development of nuclear technologies to propel us to the solar system!

The Habitable Exoplanet Hunting Project is a worldwide network of amateur astronomers searching for new potentially habitable exoplanets. The project is coordinating over 20 observatories located in 5 continents. They are searching for habitable exoplanets around non-flare G, K and M-type stars located within 100 ly. The stars being monitored already have known transiting exoplanets, but none of them are potentially habitable. This project is monitoring each star 24/7 for several months. By doing so, they believe that the chances of finding an exoplanet increase for particular targets. Moreover, they are focusing on stars closer than 100 light years because, on the one hand, the closest habitable exoplanets will be the first destinations of interstellar missions and, on the other, because very few nearby habitable exoplanets around G and K-type stars have been discovered: only 2 of them. The number of potentially habitable exoplanets that could be discovered is, in theory, around 25. This calculation was obtained by taking into account the number of non-flare stars within 100 light years and the percentage of them that should show transits in the habitable zone. Each observatory observes the same star and, when the transit of a hypothetical habitable exoplanet becomes unlikely, we move to another star. Within 100 light years, we only found 10 non-flare G, K and M-type stars with known transiting exoplanets not potentially habitable. Big telescopes are not necessary, but CCD cameras with a resolution of at least 16 bits are advisable because we are searching for exoplanets that produce a change of brightness in the star of around 0.1%.

Like this content? Please consider becoming a patron: https://deepastronomy.com/DeepAstronomy It’s July and that means space fans everywhere are taking time out to remember the Apollo 11 landing on the moon on July 20th, 1969. This year it’s a little bigger of a deal because this is the 50th anniversary of that event and since human beings love nice, round numbers like 50, we give it a little more importance than we usually do. Which is why we are seeing so many great tributes to the event this week. CBS is restreaming it’s coverage of the entire mission starting with the launch on Tuesday and culminating with the landing tomorrow. It’s been a real treat to relive some of those memories of my childhood watching the landing on TV. I was only seven, but the event forged my path from that point on, space and astronomy would become central in my life. The Apollo 11 moon landing is one of those events that if you were around when it happened, then you remember where you were, what you were doing and who you were with because this was one of the most exciting things to ever happen and everyone knew it was important. For the first time, human beings set foot on another world. Humanity had become untethered to the Earth, if only for a few brief days. #Apollo50 #Apollo11 #Astronomy vlog Check out David Baker's Book Here: https://amzn.to/2JHl7W4 Mova Apollo Globe: http://bit.ly/DeepAstronApollo50 Follow DeepAstronomy on Twitter: @DeepAstronomy Like DeepAstronomy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeepAstronomy/ Like Space Fan News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpaceFanNews/

I mean they are great, and some, like my wedding anniversary, are marvelous, but by and large they just make me realize how old I am. Every July though, I take some time out to think about the moon landing and I always remember what I was doing then. I’m 57 years old now so I was seven when Neil and Buzz stepped foot on the moon. I had sat through all NASA launches on TV and because I grew up here in Florida, Dad took me to one of the Gemini launches near the cape.

This year, in March of 2019, Hubble took aim at the southern hemisphere and stared for 52 minutes using several filters at a spot in the sky only 1.4 arcminutes across. And there, hidden in the constellation Centaurus and high in the sky lies the southern Crab Nebula.

Telescope Talk Hangouts are sponsored by OPT Telescopes: https://bit.ly/2SwhmVB The Extremely Large Telescope is a 40 meter segmented primary mirror telescope being built right now high in the mountains of Chile. The telescope will become the largest optical, near-infrared telescope in the world and will showcase some of the latest technology. Among that technology is adaptive optics, the system that allows ground-based telescopes to perform on par with space-based systems while under the blanket of the atmosphere. Please join Tony Darnell as he talks about the AO systems being designed for the ELT with Thomas Pfrommer, and astronomer at the ESO facility in Munich, to discuss this amazing system.

Sponsored by OPT Telescopes: https://bit.ly/2SwhmVB Using the Triad filter designed and manufactured by OPT, we'll be imaging the night sky from one of the most light polluted areas in the world: Times Square. The idea is to show that the stars are available to anyone, regardless of the city lights that may plague your area. We'll be attempting to live stream out time there showing people in NYC the wonders of the night sky from the heart of the city. If it's cloudy though, even the Triad won't help us! 🙂 Check out the Triad Filter Here (aff link): http://bit.ly/34lphdH Like this content?
