TRIBU Cultura Astronómica is an organization dedicated to the dissemination of astronomy and scientific culture. It is an organization dedicated to boosting awareness of the Universe through astronomical experiences.   - We facilitate astronomical observation experiences with telescopes and specialized guides that take you on an adventure through the cosmos. - Learning spaces directed to all public audiences to learn about the Universe. In addition we facilitate content, activities and strategies for teaching astronomy. - We provide downloadable audiovisual content of scientific disclosure centered on the learning of astronomy to pique your interests in science.   Mike Simmons is the founder of Astronomy for Equity ( https://bmsis.org/astro4equity/ ). Others on the team, including people around the world in astronomy and space exploration, authors and philosophers, designers and artists and more will be added as the website is developed. Mike Simmons, host of Big Impact Astronomy, has a 50-year history of leading astronomy organizations and projects, the last 25 years internationally. Astronomy has taken him around the world where he’s connected with the subjects of Big Impact Astronomy, seen their impact, and heard their stories. These are personal journeys for both the host and the guests.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6_HooIJLNc From Oct 12, 2010. The fact that we've found a habitable planet candidate so soon after starting our search has important implications for the number of habitable planets that may exist in our galaxy - which was estimated to be around 10 billion.     Having found Gliese 581g so soon though, may mean one of two things.  Either we were very lucky, or there are more planets out there than we thought.  Based on this discovery, it's possible that we may have many more habitable planets than originally thought.     Perhaps 20 to 30 billion stars in our galaxy may have conditions suitable for life.   Music used: https://archive.org/details/brokenkites_ctrl_alt_rmx https://archive.org/details/Conventional_Space   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

From September 22, 2008. Look around you. Breathe in some air. Everything you can see and feel was formed in a star. Today we’ll examine that long journey that matter has gone through, forged and re-forged in the hearts of stars. In fact, the device you’re using to listen to this podcast has some elements formed in a supernova explosion.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From August 2024. Today's 2 topics: - The asteroid Psyche may be one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in the solar system. It is a small world about 116 miles in diameter and is composed of almost pure nickel-iron metal. It is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists find evidence that Psyche may be the exposed core of a planet which was destroyed by collisions as it was trying to form long ago. - Presently the surface of Mars is very dry and any liquid water that reaches it quickly boils away since the martian atmospheric pressure is what you could experience in your space suit 30 to 50 miles above the Earth's surface. However, since the martian gravity is about 1/3 that of the Earth, it's crust is less dense and more porous than what we find on our home planet.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cil0v7dIkgc Hosted by Tony Darnell. From July 6, 2017. If we send humans to Mars, will they be able to survive? How hostile is the solar system for human exploration? The Mars environment presents many challenges to human survival and long-term residence. In addition to radiation, unbreathable atmosphere, and dust storms, surviving alien microorganisms can present a health risk.   The US Congress has directed NASA to plan for a human mission to Mars. A critical element of the planning is to ensure the health and safety of astronauts travelling to, working on, and returning from the Red Planet.    Join Tony Darnell, Dr. Harley Thronson and Dr. Alberto Conti as they explore with Dr. Arnauld Nicogossian (George Mason University), Dr. Catharine A. Conley (NASA Planetary Protection Officer) and Professor Charles Doarn (University of Cincinnati) the challenges of living and working on Mars.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

From May 21, 2025. This week, we take a closer look at the weirdly twisty search for a possible planet in our outer solar system. We'll also take in the happy science of aurorae here, at Jupiter, and over Neptune, as well as a bunch of weird discoveries that has some people screaming "It's Aliens!" (it's not aliens).    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByfigQW-6Mk Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Jan 28, 2022. Taking a look at how over the last 40 years we went from only knowing of the handful of planets in our solar system to knowing of around 5,000 planets littering the galaxy.   How have we discovered new planets? How many are there?  How many stars have planets around them?  Are there star systems with multiple planets like our solar system?  Do we see the diversity of large gassy, small rocky and ringed planets around other stars?  And the big one - are any of them habitable?   Find out in this episode!
