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!'”

CRUNCHY TOPIC: Detoxifying Mars

Posted on June 23, 2024 by Pam Hoffman

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on June 28th at 9pm Pacific time!

One of the major hitches in colonizing Mars is the presence of very high concentrations of perchlorates in the Martian regolith (soil). Perchlorates are poisonous even in much smaller concentrations than are found on Mars. The previous methods of cleaning the soil involve using a lot of water (which is not easy to come by on Mars) that gives you clean soil but poisonous water. That is not an improvement of your situation. However there is a new method that may break down the perchlorates into usable chemicals.

During this episode we’ll talk about where the perchlorates came from and explore the various methods of removing the perchlorates or just living with them.

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on June 10th at 9pm Pacific time!

“Jacqueline Cochran (May 11, 1906 – August 9, 1980) was an American pilot and business executive. She pioneered women’s aviation as one of the most prominent racing pilots of her generation. She set numerous records and was the first woman to break the sound barrier on 18 May 1953. Cochran (along with Nancy Love) was the wartime head of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) (1943–1944), which employed about 1000 civilian American women in a non-combat role to ferry planes from factories to port cities. Cochran was later a sponsor of the Mercury 13 women astronaut program.” ~Wikipedia
