The search for planets around other stars is heating up. So far, there are over 4,000 confirmed exoplanets. What would the Earth look like in one of these searches?
Automating an observing run is one of the most efficient uses of your equipment. You can plan the night's observing, then let your equipment do the work! But what do you need to make this possible? What can you expect for results?

Lynx is one of four flagship concepts for the next great space telescope.
NASA has funded a series of studies of four concepts that will in less than a year's time produce candidate designs for a major space observatory to begin construction later next decade. One of these has been dubbed Lynx, an x-ray “flagship" mission will probe some of the most explosive and high-energy objects in our Universe, and will provide insight into the seeds of black holes, the formation and evolution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies and even of the stars themselves.
Please join our regular hosts Tony Darnell and Harley Thronson, as they discuss with Drs. Alexey Vikhlinin from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Feryal Ozel from the University of Arizona the science that will be revealed by a telescope investigating the x-ray universe.
This is an informal, relaxed chat, so we hope that you can join us live and ask questions or leave comments for our guests.

Stephen Wolfram's Physics Project has any of the world’s eminent physicists like Sean Carroll attacking this way of presenting new ideas and models and many question Stephen’s approach. Dr. Brian Keating will explain why he feels it’s valuable.

Given that our galaxy is 10 billion years old and it should take civilizations much less time to develop and travel through the galaxy, why isn't the universe teeming with aliens? Where is everybody?

Eruptions from the Sun cause Aurora and are the drivers of space weather throughout the solar system.
Creating beautiful night time displays and interesting features in the atmospheres of outer planets
like Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, space weather can also disrupt communications
on Earth and damage power grid equipment. But understanding space weather is complex and requires a 3 dimensional understanding of the magnetic structure of solar eruptions and how they propagate outwards. How is that done? By combining data from several spacecraft spread around Earth’s orbit and constructing 3D computer models a team of researchers is examining what happens when an ejection occurs and creates a shock wave. In particular, they are examining data from ESA/NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO)and the twin Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) satellites.
Join Tony Darnell and Carol Christian during Afternoon Astronomy Coffee on March 22 at 3PM Eastern time as they discuss with Angelos Vourlidas (Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab) and Ryun Young Kwan (George Mason University) how they visualize the Sun’s Coronal Mass Ejections and what significance such events have for solar system weather.

A massive, Jupiter-sized exoplanet has been discovered orbiting a small, low-mass star and this discovery is challenging theories on how planets form around their stars. The planet, called TOI-4860 b, is about the same size as Jupiter and orbits its star once every 1.5 Earth days, classifying it as a warm Jupiter. This is unusual because planets this large are not supposed to form around low-mass stars.
