No star lives forever (although the smallest sure seem like they do!). When they die, any planets they may are going to experience some things. Let's discuss.
Going live 2pm Boston / 11am Vancouver / 7pm London

One of humanity's fundamental questions is "where does life come from." We can't answer that question, but we can tell you where some of the stuff of life came from.

I love that they try to make this sound bad but the mere fact that 900 people could fund $3k per person in the middle class kinda highlights the reason it’s good

Pamela still has no working boiler, and today Fraser also has some things to deal with. This means we are now aiming for Friday. Thanks for your patience youtube.com/live/sVvY9HG...
You've probably heard the phrase "Let sleeping dogs lie," but have you heard the phrase "Let sleeping black holes wake up"?
In today's live recording, Fraser & Pamela look at all the ways to black holes wake up & attack their surroundings.

Monday! Monday! Monday!
Our universe is filled with sleeping monsters & sometimes they wake up hungry. In this episode, we take a look at the science behind how and why black holes of all sizes can go from nothing to the triggers of massive high-energy power release.

Sometimes it's nice to dream about an asteroid or comet hitting Earth.

Want to hear your name on Astronomy Cast? Join our Patreon at the $10/month level or higher! To be fair, Pamela missed out on phonics, so correct pronunciation isn't guaranteed. Join to hear her mispronounces your name? That is a recommended strategy, actually.

This week, @fcain.universetoday.com & @starstryder.space take on Dyson Swarms. Some say they'll solve global warming & the energy crisis. Others look for them as signs of alien civs. These theoretical satellite swarms could be the future (but probably aren't). youtube.com/live/cySk8O0...
Why are stars sphere-ish? Why do blackholes not eat everything? Why do pulsating stars pulsate? It all comes down to Eddington.
In today's ep, @fcain.universetoday.com & @starstryder.space look at the Edditngton Limit. Live at 2pm Boston / 7pm London / 11am Vancouver.

Happy #Podcast day, everyone!
It is arguable that humanity now has the technological ability to live on Mars. It would be done at enormous expense & sacrifice, and there are some tricky problems we haven’t solved yet. Although we could live on Mars, should we?
Now out wherever you get podcasts.
We're going live on a weird day and at a weird time because Fraser is travelling to UTC+7 while Pamela stays at UTC-6. Come be in the science. Twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX or whatever is live on YouTube.com/@AstronomyCast
Fraser is gearing up to travel, so we're recording RIGHT NOW!!! How many episodes will we record? No idea. What will we record? Many things. This is all @fcain.universetoday.com & @starstryder.space know! Join us on twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX or check out whatever is live on Youtube.com/@AstronomyCast
ep 770 Records today!
All because we can launch humans toward Mars, should we? @fcain.universetoday.com & @starstryder.space discuss in this live recording at 2pm EDT / 12pm PDT / 7pm GMT.

Yup - that was through Libsyn - they are our host and insert ads. We have some guidelines (no porn), but I guess we may need to see if we can add no tobacco related products if that's an option :-/
