Lyt til The 365 Days of Astronomy

Dr. Jamal Mimouni takes us on an astronomy journey through Africa starting with his long-standing, active group in Algeria.   Dr. Mimouni is an Algerian astrophysicist, who received his higher education partly in Algeria (B. Sc. in Theoretical Physics in 1977 from Algiers University) and partly in the States (Ph. D. in Particle Physics in 1985 from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia). He is also an actor on the science, society, and the cultural dimension of the scientific debate in the Arab-Muslim world and has developed a keen interest in the philosophy of contemporary science, as well as to spreading scientific culture in societies of the developing world.    On the ‘ground’, he has acted as adviser and resource person to amateur astronomy associations in Algeria and is the head of the well-known Sirius Astronomy Association. He has been elected last year as President of the African Astronomical Society (AfAS) based in Cape Town, SA. He has been working closely with the Algerian Ministry of National Education as a scientific adviser, and has conceived and directed various regional training workshops for both elementary school and high school physics teachers: “From Geography to the Cosmos”. Finally, he has authored along with N. Guessoum a popular science book in Arabic “The Story of the Universe: from Early Conceptions to the Big Bang” for an University educated readership, and contributed to an academic collective book “Science and Religion in Islam”.   Mike Simmons is the founder of Astronomy for Equity ( https://bmsis.org/astro4equity/ [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.   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 [https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy] and donate as much as you can!

How do you measure the impact of a scientist? Does Stephen Hawking compare to Newton or Einstein? What were his contributions to black holes, the big bang, and quantum gravity? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!   Support the show: http://www.patreon.com/pmsutter [http://www.patreon.com/pmsutter] All episodes: http://www.AskASpaceman.com [http://www.AskASpaceman.com] Watch on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/PaulMSutter [http://www.youtube.com/PaulMSutter] Read a book: http://www.pmsutter/book [http://www.pmsutter/book]   Keep those questions about space, science, astronomy, astrophysics, physics, and cosmology coming to #AskASpaceman for COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF TIME AND SPACE!   Big thanks to my top Patreon supporters this month: Justin G, Chris L, Alberto M, Duncan M, Corey D, Michael P, Naila, Sam R, John S, Joshua, Scott M, Rob H, Scott M, Louis M, John W, Alexis, Gilbert M, Rob W, Jessica M, Jules R, Jim L, David S, Scott R, Heather, Mike S, Pete H, Steve S, wahtwahtbird, Lisa R, Couzy, Kevin B, Michael B, Aileen G, Don T, Steven W, Brian O, Mark R, Alan B, Craig B, Mark F, Richard K, Stace J, Stephen J, Joe R, David P, Justin, Robert B, Sean M, Tracy F, Sarah K, Ella F, Thomas K, James C, Syamkumar M, Homer V, Mark D, Bruce A, Bill E, Tim Z, Linda C, The Tired Jedi, Gary K, David W, dhr18, Lode D, Bob C, Red B, Stephen A, James R, Robert O, Lynn D, Allen E, Michael S, Reinaldo A, Sheryl, David W, Sue T, Chris, Michael S, Erlend A, James D, Larry D, Matt K, Charles, Karl W, Den K, George B, Tom B, Edward K, Catherine B, John M, Craig M, Scott K, Vivek D, and Barbara C!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTCFrv-2O0A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTCFrv-2O0A] Streamed live on Apr 16, 2025. Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay There is an ongoing debate on where NASA should go next with humans: to the Moon or Mars. (Or maybe an asteroid or one of Mars’ moons). We are on the verge of sending humans back to the Moon. At the same time others would prefer we focus our exploration on Mars. It’s a tough choice because there are costs and benefits to both. Let’s try to give this conversation some nuance. Let's discuss the reasons for each of these worlds.   SUPPORTED BY YOU! This Episode is made possible thanks to our Patrons on Patreon.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus [https://twitter.com/Nmcanopus] ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org [http://travelersinthenight.org] From February & March 2024. Today's 2 topics: - Unlike other space missions which are conducted out in the open the asteroid mining company AstroForge’s first mission to a potentially valuable nearby rocky M type asteroid is being planned in secret so that some other company doesn’t have the chance to grab it before they do. - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Alex Gibbs discovered his 31st comet while asteroid hunting in Leo with our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona. It orbits the Sun once every 6 years on a path between Mars and Jupiter. Comet P/2023/Y1 (Gibbs) is one on the 600 plus known members of the Jupiter family of comets.   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 [https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy] and donate as much as you can!
