Early last March, an email arrived requesting answers to a survey about “…our network of free-to-use robotic telescopes at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian…”

That sparked an idea for an UPDATE to a previous episode we did in on the network of telescopes, in February 2021. This episode will be an update and a bit of a deeper dive into this network. Also from that email…

“Your feedback will play a crucial role in helping to shape the future of open access to real telescopes. Let your voice be heard, and help us create an exciting future for remote observing!”

Since there may be some great things to look forward to from this network, let this episode serve as a reminder to watch for these developments in the future as well!

We kept talking about it, now we’re going to do it! What happens once the International Space Station is decommissioned and deorbited? About 9 potential ‘Space Station’ systems are on the drawing board and during this episode, we’ll delve into each of them and discuss the likelihood of them leaving the blueprints and being built.

“Do you ever wonder what the future holds for our solar system? The Sun will eventually become a dense, planet-sized object called a white dwarf. That means studying the white dwarfs we see in the sky can provide a glimpse into our own solar system’s fate! Help astronomers discover debris disks and asteroids around white dwarfs using images taken by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope.” ~Zooniverse

CRUNCHY TOPIC: Space Weather

Posted on February 16, 2025 by Pam Hoffman

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on February 21st at 9pm Pacific time!

Space is BIG. And Empty. Or is it?

Space Weather significantly affects our space missions and us here on Earth.

Once we solve the problem of getting off the Earth, space weather may be the biggest danger for space travel. It is hard to travel to other planets if the weather kills you on the way.

Also, the more technologically connected we become, the more danger space weather poses to us here on Earth.

Learn the types of weather we can expect in space and what affects they each have on those who never venture above the sky.
