Daily Space with Dr. Pamela Gay

All of Betelgeuse’s strange behavior over the last year had everyone looking at the star, which the latest research shows is smaller and closer than previously calculated. Plus, InSight’s mole is finally all the way underground, new measurements of atomic hydrogen in distant galaxies, and two planets have been discovered around a red dwarf star.

Join us for our weekly tour through the local neighborhood! This week we cover how the ice caps on Pluto’s mountains form; we celebrate BepiColombo’s flyby of Venus; and we continue to prep for that Bennu sample.

Today we look at three astronomical stories! First, simulations show that rocky Super-Earth sized exoplanets have a Jupiter-sized guardian. Then a study of over 700 quasars shows they form because of… magnetic fields, of course! And finally, spare observation time leads to the discovery of a metal-poor globular cluster near the Andromeda Galaxy. Want to support CosmoQuest?

Join us as we take a look back at two weeks’ worth of planetary stories, including solar system research on a binary trans-Neptunian object, diamonds in meteorites, the stratification of Titan’s lakes, and how Jupiter affected Venus’ habitability. Plus we go farther into space and see how super flares affect the chances for life on exoplanets and find an exoplanet with vaporized metal in its atmosphere. Want to support CosmoQuest?

New images taken with the ALMA Observatory show a young proto-stellar disk with the rings and gaps of planetary formation growing together, once again challenging our preconceptions. And other research into stellar formation adds heavy metals to the mix to match models to observations. Plus an old, metal-poor galaxy halo. Want to support CosmoQuest?

Research from our home Planetary Science Institute shows that the dune fields on Mars provide solid evidence for lithification and burial. Plus, Carina Nebula has been imaged with adaptive optics and looks amazing! And we take a look at the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. Want to support CosmoQuest?

Using huge telescopes, researchers have discovered a Large Scale Structure of six galaxies around a seventh galaxy with a supermassive black hole, back in the first billion years of the Universe. Plus Hubble captures a time-lapse of a fading supernova and beta Pictoris c is directly imaged. Want to support CosmoQuest?

Join us today for a first-ever double feature episode. Dr. Pamela and Beth will go cover the latest in astronomy and planetary science, from a glittery supermassive black hole to a jittery gravitational wave detector, and from life on Mars to the chronology of Saturn’s largest moons. For fun, we listen to the sonification of Chandra X-ray images, and, because it’s 2020, we have to mention Yet Another near-Earth asteroid. Want to support CosmoQuest?

Astrophysicists have finally figured out how to tell neutron stars apart from black holes by finding the signature of the event horizon. Another team discovered that planetary nebulae likely get their unique shapes due to binary systems. And we present some updates on the origin of rocks (and rocks and rocks and pebbles) on Bennu. Same with Ryugu, but we don’t hate Ryugu. Want to support CosmoQuest?

Cassini data is still providing good science, and researchers recently found out that the northern hemisphere of Enceladus has fresh ice! Plus scientists directly measured the distance to a magnetar, and comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has an aurora. Want to support CosmoQuest?

While Venus has dominated the news cycle this week, scientists were publishing papers on other planets, both within our solar system and without. We look at a warm Jupiter orbiting a cool star, the composition of Uranus’ moons (save your jokes for the Q&A), and how life may be hard to detect on Mars. Plus Hubble has released a brand new image of Jupiter with Europa, and they are gorgeous. Want to support CosmoQuest?

Join us as we take a look at today's top story - a planet has been found still in orbit around its white dwarf star even after a supernova. Then we discuss how a Wolf-Rayet binary system is a dust factory. Finally, new works show neutron stars are NOT producing all those heavy elements, the solar minimum is over, and Breakthrough Listen is all over the Venus news. Which brings us to our special guest, Sara Seager from MIT. Want to support CosmoQuest?

Join us today for a look at how the Hubble Telescope may have solved the dark matter discrepancy. A research team has found a unique Type 1a supernova in the super-Chandrasekhar group of novae. Plus, all those extreme galaxies (large and small) seem to be in dense regions with a lot of interactions. Afterward, we were joined by astrobiologist Dr. David Grinspoon to talk about his research into potential life on Venus. Want to support CosmoQuest?
