SUMMARY:Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower
DESCRIPTION:This above-average meteor shower runs from April 19-May 28. The best place to see it is in the Southern Hemisphere\, where it produces about 60 meteors an hour\, but it’s a decent show in the Northern Hemisphere\, too\, and viewers in this part of the world can expect to see about half that many \nViews: 154

SUMMARY:Online General Meeting - May 2022
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open to the public online event. \nJoin Zoom\n  \n\nOumuamua: The nearest exoplanet?\n\n  \n  \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen ‘Oumuamua passed by Earth in October 2017\, the only thing certain about it was that it was not from this Solar System. Because of its high velocity\, it was the first confirmed interstellar object. The next year the object 2I/Borisov was the second confirmed interstellar object. But whereas Borisov behaved very much like a comet (albeit an unusual one)\, mysteries remain about what ‘Oumuamua actually is. Although it pushed away from the Sun by a rocket effect\, like comets\, it could not be made of water\, or contain much carbon monoxide or dust\, making it very unlike a comet. The acceleration it experienced was very large\, and from the variations in sunlight it reflected\, it was more elongated than any other solar system object: either a very skinny pancake or a very long cigar. Dozens of explanations have been proposed to explain these oddities\, and speculation has run rampant\, with some astronomers even suggesting it was alien technology. The truth is more mundane but no less exciting. In a pair of papers in 2021\, Steve Desch and Alan Jackson demonstrated that ‘Oumuamua is consistent in every way with being a small fragment resembling the surface of Pluto. Our own solar system must have ejected trillions of fragments like ‘Oumuamua in its early days\, and a population of fragments from the surfaces of Pluto-like exoplanets must be common throughout the Galaxy. ‘Oumuamua itself may have been ejected about 400 million years ago\, from a Pluto-like exoplanet in a young system in the Perseus arm of the Galaxy. ‘Oumuamua is arguably the closest we’ve ever come to directly observing the surface of an exoplanet.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve Desch is a Professor of astrophysics in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. He studies the formation and evolution of planets\, the origins of the Solar System\, exoplanets\, and meteorites. He has written about ‘Oumuamua in the popular press and is thrilled to have contributed to our scientific understanding of this unique object.” \n\n\nhttps://slate.com/technology/2019/01/oumuamua-alien-ship-anthropomorphize-space.html\n\n\nViews: 154
