The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on September 6th at 9pm Pacific time!

Would you like to find an asteroid? With this Citizen Science Project, maybe you can!

“At the Zooniverse, anyone can be a researcher

“The Catalina Sky Survey is a NASA-funded project dedicated to discovering and tracking near-Earth asteroids. Since 1998 we have discovered thousands of near-Earth asteroids and many more main-belt asteroids. We collect an enormous volume of image data. Although we have state-of-the-art cameras, detection software, and a small team of full-time professional observers, we lack capacity to identify and verify all objects of interest. We need your help! Join us to find the unreported main-belt and near-Earth asteroids that slip through the digital cracks of our detection system.” ~Zooniverse

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on July 26th at 9pm Pacific time!

Do you want to have fun doing science?

Learn how anyone can help scientists find black holes and star forming regions. During Friday’s show we will discuss a new Zooniverse project from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder. You can be part of a crowd-source project finding those regions in the astronomical photos.

“On the radio sky, there are millions of radio galaxies, star-forming galaxies, and even unknown unknowns! They are just there, awaiting your discovery!” ~Research Team

“Welcome to Radio Galaxy Zoo EMU! Following the original, very productive Radio Galaxy Zoo, we now need your help to work with the spectacular radio images from the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) Survey from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). Your work will teach us which patches of radio emission belong together, and which optical or infrared galaxy is the home of the supermassive black hole that is usually responsible for the radio emission.” ~Zooniverse

Help Us Welcome Bob Stoffregen!

Posted on July 7, 2024 by Pam Hoffman

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on July 12th at 9pm Pacific time!

Are you ready to learn how to take better pictures, especially of the night sky? If you are, you’ll want to stop by next Friday to hear from our next guest.

Bob Stoffregen has been a hobbyist photographer for many years who enjoys sharing the world and universe around him through photography. Bob enjoys digging into the details and the technical side of an image and enjoys sharing the results with others.

Especially challenging are deep space and wide field night time images where getting the details right can make or break a good photo. He loves to share the night sky with others and participates in skywatches hosted by his astronomy club in which he is a member as well as a local park.

“It’s very satisfying when a visitor to the eyepiece sees the craters on the moon or rings of Saturn for the very first time and gives you an ‘Oh Wow!'”
