Top 10 Space Youtube Channels 2020

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University: https://www.millersville.edu/swen Happy New Year everyone. Our Sun is slowly coming back from being on Holiday since the big solar storms of about a month ago. It has returned to being spotless, but at least we are still getting some activity. We've had two solar storms launch that are nearly Earth-directed and they could graze us sometime on the 11th or 12th, just enough to enhance the pocket of fast solar wind we are expecting at that time as well. This could bring aurora down to high-latitudes and possibly to mid-latitudes momentarily. We also are holding on to marginal radio propagation on Earth's dayside thanks to a small bright region emerging on the Earth facing disk. That region will be named region 2796 (incidentally I say the wrong number in the forecast, I know) if it grows into a sunspot so we are watching it carefully. Nonetheless the region is keeping solar flux in the mid-70s so we should enjoy marginal radio propagation conditions easily throughout this week. Learn the details of the solar storms en route, catch up on the latest conditions on the Red Planet as we prepare for the Mars 2020 rendezvous, and see what else our Sun has in store!

To understand astronomy, astrology might actually not be a bad place to start... Although scientists certainly haven’t proven that being an Aries makes you more impatient or a Libra means you’re wise, the constellations in the zodiac have unlocked hidden secrets of the stars for centuries. In this episode, we’ll explore the ecliptic line and how it is still significant to astronomers today. » Subscribe to Seeker! http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Visit our shop at http://shop.seeker.com Here’s how it works. If you could see all of the stars during the day, over the course of a year you’d be able to see the Sun slowly moving along a path from one constellation to the next. That imaginary path is called the ecliptic; and it’s arguably one of the most important coordinate systems in astronomy. What makes the ecliptic line so useful is how it shows the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun and our place in the solar system. Because all of the major celestial bodies in the solar system orbit the Sun in a similar way, they’re on or near the same flat plane of the ecliptic. That’s all the planets, and even the Moon. While some differ by a few degrees from the line, they're all essentially there. Another reason zodiac constellations became so famous throughout history, is that we always see the moon, planets and eclipses near them. Huge thank you to Chabot Space & Science Center for all of their help with this video. Check them out here: https://chabotspace.org/ #constellations #astronomy #astrology #science #seeker -- Dates of the sun’s entry into the zodiacal constellations for 2021 “You might know that the real sun in the real sky does not appear in front of a constellation of the zodiac within the same range of dates you’ll see listed in astrological horoscopes. That’s because astrology and astronomy are different systems. Astrologers typically indicate the sun’s position with signs while astronomers use constellations. We were asked for a list of the constellations that fall on the ecliptic with the exact degrees. And we’ve located this information in Guy Ottewell’s Astronomical Calendar 2021.” https://earthsky.org/?p=320593 The First Validated Planets Found by K2 “A majority of all exoplanets known today were discovered by Kepler. After the spacecraft’s loss of a second reaction wheel in 2014, the mission was renamed K2 and embarked on a new survey of the ecliptic plane, divided into campaigns of roughly 80 days each. We have presented 104 validated planets discovered using K2 photometry and supporting ground-based observations. Of these, 64 are planets validated here for the first time.” https://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~ianc/docs/crossfield_K2s_new_planets.pdf Why Don’t the Constellations Line Up with the Astrological Dates? “The astrological signs were identified and connected to the calendar about 2500 years ago. However, since that time, the timing of Earth’s seasons has shifted. This is partly due to the fact that Earth wobbles a little like a top, making its axis point in different directions at different times. This is a predictable cycle of change over a period of about 23,000 years.” https://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/skytellers/constellations/ -- You can probably point to the Big Dipper, Orion's Belt, and your astrological sign in the stars. 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.

Blue Origin will be conducting the 14th flight of its New Shepard launch vehicle on the NS-14 mission. Blue Origin eventually aims to enable people (with a good amount of money) to purchase a ticket on a suborbital flight. This will be the inaugural flight of the fourth New Shepard booster – the very rocket that will soon carry humans. New Shepard only has the ability to launch on a suborbital trajectory with an apogee of 119 km (74 miles) – their record. Want to learn more?!?

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.

After a sizable break TMRO:News has returned featuring the past 6 weeks of what’s happened in space broken up into three epicsodes. For our first one we’ll be covering the 2020 US Presidential Election in this one, our next will focus on Crew-1, and then our final epicsode will bring us into the present with what you’ve been waiting a long time for: Starship SN8’s Belly Flop. For this edition of TMRO:News we start off with our SpaceX Update with Ryan giving us a quick rundown on the launch of GPS SV04 and some Starlink tidbits. Jared delivers a thorough roundup of the Trump Administration’s space policy, and if President-Elect Joe Biden will change NASA’s direction. We wrap with a round of the all-important Space Weather courtesy of Dr. Tamitha Skov.
