Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E166 Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your source for the latest space and Astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna, and we've got an exciting episode lined up for you today. We'll be exploring some fascinating developments in the world of space and Astronomy that are sure to captivate your imagination. Highlights: - Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas): Astronomers are eagerly tracking this comet, which could shine as brightly as the North Star this fall. Discovered in early C/2023.A3, it's captured the attention of both professional astronomers and space enthusiasts. If it survives its close encounter with the sun on September 27, it could rival the spectacular Comet McNaught of 2007. - ESA's Luna Facility: The European Space Agency and German Aerospace Center have unveiled Luna, a lunar analog facility near Cologne, Germany. This 700-square-meter hall filled with simulated lunar regolith will provide crucial training for future astronauts, including those in NASA's Artemis program. - NASA Artemis II Crew in Iceland: NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen have been undergoing geology field training in Iceland. This unique landscape closely resembles the lunar surface, helping the crew prepare for the challenges of lunar exploration. - China's Sea Launch of Smart Dragon-3: China successfully launched the Smart Dragon-3 rocket from a floating platform, carrying eight remote sensing satellites into sun-synchronous orbit. This sea-based launch demonstrates flexibility and could open up new possibilities for future missions. - Potential for Life on Venus: Recent research suggests that some of life's fundamental building blocks might survive in Venus's harsh environment. Scientists discovered that certain lipids can withstand exposure to concentrated sulfuric acid, challenging our assumptions about the solvents necessary for life. - Revolutionary Space Propulsion: Scientists are testing a new propulsion system known as Super Mag Drive, which could use any type of metal as fuel. This technology could allow spacecraft to refuel by harvesting minerals from asteroids or distant moons, opening up new frontiers in space exploration.

I was able to see and take pictures of the comet C2023/A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) ! This comet will be visible in the night sky probably for the next week or two, it's currently visible both with a pair of binoculars and with the naked eye. Since it's visible very early after sunset, it's a bit difficult to spot for now, but in the coming days it's will gradually be visible later in the night and thus easier to observe.

This comet is one of the brightest in the last few years so it should be quite easy to observe.

I hope you all get a chance to see it, it's magnificent

My dear Facebook addicted father told me that the comet was three times the size of Earth. I fact checked that because it didn't sound right and it's more just 3 kilometers (a more comet size for a comet).

But now I'm extremely curious- what WOULD happen if a ball of ice and rock three times the size of Earth on a highly erratic orbit passed into our general vicinity as visible comets do? Whether distant enough to appear the same size as the comet head in our sky or literally occupying the exact same point in space the comet at its brightest was (which I can only assume would be Very Bad for Earth)

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E182 Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to Podcast for the latest in space and Astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna, and today's episode is a cosmic journey through a variety of fascinating topics that are sure to captivate and inspire. Highlights: - Fashion-Forward Spacesuits: Discover the collaboration between Italian luxury brand Prada and Houston-based startup Axiom Space to create the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit for NASA's upcoming Artemis III mission. This cutting-edge spacesuit combines style with functionality, designed to withstand the extreme conditions of the lunar south pole. - Return of Vega C Rocket: Italy's Vega C rocket is set to make a comeback on December 3, marking a significant milestone for the Italian space program. This launch is eagerly anticipated by the scientific community and the space industry as it resumes its role in delivering payloads to orbit. - Rare Comet in Australian Skies: Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is visible for the first time in 80,000 years, offering Australians a rare glimpse into the distant past. This celestial event is a reminder of the wonders that await when we look up at the night sky. - Brown Dwarf Mystery Solved: Astronomers have cracked a nearly 30-year-old mystery surrounding the brown dwarf Gliese 229 b, revealing it as a pair of brown dwarfs locked in a cosmic dance. This discovery provides valuable insights into the nature of brown dwarfs and the boundary between stars and planets. - Origins of Earth's Meteorites: A groundbreaking discovery traces 70% of Earth's meteorites back to three massive collisions in the main asteroid belt. This research sheds light on the origins of space rocks and helps track potentially dangerous asteroids. - Martian Solar Eclipse: NASA's Perseverance rover captures a stunning series of photographs of a solar eclipse on Mars, showcasing the planet's moon Phobos as it partially blocks the sun's disk. These images offer a unique glimpse of Phobos and Mars's complex orbital dynamics. - Boeing's Starliner Mission Uncertainty: NASA faces uncertainties regarding the next crewed mission of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft following issues during its first crewed test flight.
