In each episode we feature Astrophysicists, Space Scientists, Particle Physicists, Data scientists, Antenna engineers, Instrument scientists, optical & radio astronomers, Satcomm engineers, project leaders and aurora hunters. For Astrophotographers, also each month we also hear from Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave who tells us when, where and what to look for in the sky over the coming weeks and explains astronomical phenomena in ‘Ian’s Tangent’.

    Astrophiz204: Dr Elaina Hyde- The York Universe Podcast
    Nov 13 2024
    In this our two hundred and fourth episode of Astrophiz, we’re going to listen in to another fabulous Astro podcast that you should subscribe to. Regular listeners will remember back to Episode 57 in 2018 where we interviewed a wonderful data scientist and astrophysicist, Dr Elaina Hyde. Elaina speaks four languages, has four undergraduate degrees in astronomy, physics, optical engineering and planetary sciences; two masters degrees in engineering and astronomy and astrophysics; and a Ph.D. in astronomy and physics. Now back then, Doctor Hyde was an post-doc research fellow at Western Sydney University and data science consultant …. and right now she is at York University in Toronto Canada where she is the director pf the Allan I Carswell Observatory and is an associate professor who has also developed wonderful outreach programs One aspect of Elaina’s outreach repertoire is where Doc Hyde and her York University colleagues regularly produce a fabulous podcast! In this episode we are re-broadcasting today they take us on a deep dive into science and science fiction with space launches from the past. We travel through the 70s (and a bit of the 50s) with space launches from Mariner, Voyager, Pioneer, to mention a few …. Join Elaina and her co-hosts, as well as Professor Mary-Helen Armour for this literal blast into space! Here we go !!

    Astronomy- The Astrophiz podcast with Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave Moon Phases for November: 1 November - New Moon - ideal for stargazing 9 November - 1st Quarter Moon 14 November - Moon at perigee (closest) 16 November - Full Moon 23 November - Last Quarter Moon, also ideal for stargazing 26 November - Moon at apogee (furthest) Most of the planetary action is in the evening skies and late evening skies. Evening Skies: Venus is very high in early evening skies in the west Mercury is at its best in the evening twilight this month, near thin crescent moon on 3 November. Saturn is still quite good in the west this month. Jupiter is visible rising in the east in the late evening skies Mars enters evening skies later in the month, but still at its best in the mornings. In mid-month, Mercury, Venus and Saturn will be seen close to each other an hour after sunset. Uranus is in opposition at Mag5.7 so is actually an unaided eye object under dark sky conditions. Easy to find about 2 degrees above the Pleiades Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is climbing higher and fading, but for the start of the month is still a nice binocular object in evening western skies before fading from most binoculars. The Leonid meteor shower is a waste of time this year due to a blazing moon. Morning Skies Mars is higher in the twilight in the East Jupiter is best in the mornings right now, as it slowly moves back to Aldabaran. Astrophotography Venus is in the heart of the galaxy, but you’ll need dark skies to have the long exposures needed to bring out the Milky Way’s heart. Comet C/2024 S1 is a possible (but not probable) ‘Lovejoy-type object’ to keep an eye out for.
