This section will be greatly expanded in the coming days!
Astronomy Cast invites you to join us as we travel the world and attend public events. Here are just a few of the things we have planned for the future:
- Cosmic Stories in the Southwest – Join Pamela for a 7-day tour of the mid-west. August 22-29, 2019.

?Any plans or recommendations for 2020 total solar eclipse
Question: Assume a star (or galaxy) is centered (relative to our telescope) behind a black hole so that we see a gravitationally lensed image of that object. Will the image that we see change depending on the spin speed and orientation of the black hole?
Happy to be here! Please share your current/up coming events. Thanks
Is there a way to bulk download all the show rather than having to click on them one-by one?
Hi, Fraser.
I have read that Jupiter does not orbit around the Sun.
Is this true? Do they orbit around each other… or a common centre of mass?
Jupiter’s mass is enough, and it’s close enough, that the barycenter (the center of mass for the two bodies) is a very short distance outside the Sun. So yes, it’s technically true, but it’s not a meaningful distance.
