Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E184 Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to source for the latest and most exciting developments in space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna, and today we are embarking on a cosmic journey that promises to expand our understanding of the universe. Highlights: - Giant Magellan Telescope Progress: Exciting advancements in the Giant Magellan Telescope project, set to become the world's largest telescope. The successful installation of its primary mirror into a support system prototype marks a crucial milestone. This mirror, with an area half the size of a basketball court, undergoes a six-month optical testing phase, promising 200 times the power of today's best telescopes. - SpaceX's National Security Contract: SpaceX secures a $733.6 million contract from the US Space Force for national security launches. This deal includes seven launches for the Space Development Agency and at least one mission for the National Reconnaissance Office, reinforcing SpaceX's pivotal role in space-based defense and intelligence capabilities. - Space Waste Management Innovation: Sierra Space plans to launch a trash compactor to the International Space Station in 2026, addressing the growing challenge of garbage disposal in space. This device transforms waste into compact tiles, potentially serving as radiation shielding, and extracts water for recycling, crucial for future moon or Mars missions. Affectionately known as Wall-E. - Interstellar Visitors from Alpha Centauri: New research suggests material ejected from the Alpha Centauri system might be reaching our solar system. This opens up possibilities for studying interstellar material, with a model indicating that a small fraction of expelled objects could be detected near Earth, revealing their origin from our stellar neighbors. - Skyrora's UK Launch Ambitions: Scottish space company Skyrora aims for a suborbital launch from British soil in spring 2025, overcoming regulatory delays. Using the Skylark L rocket, this mission is vital for de-risking their larger Skyrora XL rocket, highlighting the UK's growing role in the global space industry. - Orionid Meteor Shower: Stargazers, mark your calendars for the Orionid meteor shower in 2024. Despite challenges from moonlight interference, this event offers a chance to witness cosmic debris from Halley's comet. Best viewed in pre-dawn hours with patience and dark skies.

Do look up

"Lie flat on your back with your feet facing southeast if you are in the Northern Hemisphere or northeast if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, and look up, taking in as much of the sky as possible. In less than 30 minutes in the dark, your eyes will adapt and you will begin to see meteors."

The Orionids l Yin Hao (x) l Mongòlia

[kate-apologist]

my northern hemisphere friends!! there is a meteor shower tomorrow from around midnight to dawn saturday!!! (maybe i'm not sure how all the timing works out) if you have a chance to find a less light-polluted area to watch some debris from halley's comet (next coming in 2061) fly across the sky, you should!

[thepastisalreadywritten]

If the conditions are right, comets can leave debris trails that cause meteor showers if Earth’s orbit encounters their path, such as the October Orionids, which are particles from the famous Halley’s comet.

The next meteor shower, the Southern Taurids, is expected to peak on the night of November 4 into the early morning of November 5 and also has a comet for a parent body called Comet Encke.

"However, any debris from C/2023 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS or C/2024 S1 will not pass near enough to Earth to produce a meteor shower," Cooke said.

"How often comets are visible in our skies is variable, with some years offering up a handful of the icy bodies that sky-gazers can spot and others not so fruitful," Battams said.

“Historically, comets have always been a source of fascination to people, in part due to the fact that they are such infrequent occurrences,” he added.

“I’m sure back in pre-industrial times when light pollution was no concern, some of the comets that people saw must have been equally awe-inspiring and terrifying!”
