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/

In SFN #266 I reported about an experiment being planned at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that attempts to test an idea about parallel universes to help explain the difference in decay rates of neutrons from rest vs. those created in a beam from fission. Today's guest is Joshua Barrow, a PhD candidate at the University of Tennessee and a DOE SCGSR Program Fellow at Fermilab. He is a colleague of Dr. Leah Broussard, the lead scientist on the experiment to be conducted this summer and familiar with the experiment itself. Join us as he explains the problem, the experiment and clarifies some misconceptions. #AstroCoffee #ParallelUniverse #NeutronDecay Here is the Google Drive link to some papers as discussed in the hangout: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NrJtAEDpA6FiRzLT_w9VADK8AwIpM7Uy?usp=sharing Like this content?

Check out these cool #Apollo50th Globes Here: http://bit.ly/DeepAstronApollo50 I'm not one that’s very much on celebrating anniversaries, the 25th anniversary of the Hubble Space telescope, the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. 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.

These satellites that were launched this year was the first of what could be up to a total of 12,000 satellites and so far the FCC has approved almost 1,600 to be launched and operated.

This was always a controversial finding, back in SFN 226 I reported that the group who found Dragonfly 44, an ultra diffuse galaxy with very little dark matter in it, had also taken a closer look at another galaxy, NGC1052-DF2 and wrote a paper, in Nature of all places, announcing that according to their observations, this galaxy rotated just like a galaxy would if it had no dark matter at all in it.

This should allow astronomers to get more information on more gravitational wave events using a new yardstick called Standard Sirens. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) has has really turned the astronomy community on its head over the past few years. It’s actually been around in some form for quite a while - it’s been making observations since 2002 - but the years when it was observing between 2002 and 2010 produced no gravitational wave detections, they began looking into make it better. #spacefannews #standardsiren #LIGO #gravitational waves Consider supporting Space Fan News: https://patreon.com/DeepAstronomy to ensure you get current space & astronomy news each week!

One of my favorite composers is Vangelis and for people who like old school Cosmos, you know what I'm talking about. I've been thinking about making a tribute to Albedo 0.39 for a while and all of the amazing Junocam images of Jupiter inspired me.

Early in this stage of the mission it delivers! From a planet about 2x the size of Earth but in other ways very different (Pi Mensae c) to a rocky planet about 1.3 times Earth’s size, LHS 3884b, which is very hot being close to its star. There are more planet discoveries on the books already and the list is growing. TESS, because it can observe short changes in brightness of objects, also has measured early time light curves of least 20 supernovae! TESS will also be able to find numerous other objects such as flaring stars, comets, binaries, and others. To hear all about the TESS mission and discoveries, join Tony Darnell and Carol Christian during Afternoon Astronomy Coffee on Thursday, 28 February 2019 at 3:00 pm Eastern Time (20:00 UTC) as they discuss all these topics with investigators, Chelsea Huang, Michael Fausnaugh and Diana Dragomir (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

Earlier this month, NASA has selected a new space mission called SPHEREx which stands for the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer.

Telescope Talk Hangouts are sponsored by OPT Telescopes: https://bit.ly/2SwhmVB Astronomers using the ALMA telescope high in the Chilean Andes have observed a star forming where planets are normally thought to be born. Please join Tony Darnell as he discusses these observations with Dr. John Ilee from the University of Leeds.
