Rob McConnell Interviews - PROFESSOR ANTONIO PARIS - Professor of Astronomy at St. Petersburg College, FL Antonio Paris is a professor of astronomy at St. Petersburg College in Florida and a researcher known for his work on planetary science, space exploration, and the analysis of unexplained radio and astronomical signals. Paris has contributed to studies examining historical cosmic phenomena—most notably research into the famous “Wow! Signal”—applying observational astronomy and data analysis to explore natural explanations for mysterious space-based events. His academic work emphasizes scientific methodology, critical inquiry, and the importance of separating speculation from evidence in the study of astronomical anomalies.

📡 #EXOPLANETS 101 with #Exo4Edu! 🪐

Do you know how exoplanets get their names? 🤔

Each one is named after the star it orbits, followed by a lowercase letter. The first planet discovered gets the letter “b”, then come c, d, and so on. 🔤

Peanuts cartoon: How many stars? 365, one for each day of the year. We live in what is known as an orderly universe.

Another great Peanuts cartoon about astronomy. When I taught introductory astronomy, I always tried to cheer up my students with a cartoon like this on each exam.

Peanuts Cartoon: In the old days, people thought the world was flat... what do we think nowadays, Lucy asks.

One of my favorite cartoons from the Peanuts series... Charles Schulz loved to have the kids think about astronomical ideas.
