Description

Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com Jupiter’s at opposition tomorrow, some meteor showers in the Observers Calendar for November 2023 on Episode 369 of Actual Astronomy.   - Nov. 12th - North Taurid Meteors Peak, radiant is just below the Pleiades. You get about 5-10 meteors per hour. According to Don Macholz, Asteroid 2004 TG 10 is the meteor shower’s parent body. The theory is that 20,000 years ago, a larger object broke up, creating Comet Encke and some other asteroids as well as meteor showers. Scientists named this group of objects after the most dominant member of the group: Comet Encke. So these objects are called, the Encke Complex.   - Saturday Nov. 18th - Leonid Meteor Shower peaks. No outburst expected this year but you might see 15-20 per hour. Periodic Comet Tempel-Tuttle, officially known as 55P/Temple-Tuttle, is responsible for the Leonid meteor shower. William Tempel of Marseilles Observatory in France discovered this comet on the evening of Decembder 19, 1865. Lost and recovered in 1965, it can be faint, 16th magnitude.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast is a project that is publishing one podcast per day, 5 to 10 minutes in duration, for all 365 days of the year. The podcast episodes are written, recorded and produced by people around the world. We are looking for individuals, schools, companies and clubs to provide 5 - 10 minutes of audio for the daily podcast. You can do as few as 1 episode or up to 12 episodes (one per month, subject to our editorial discretion). Our goal is to encourage people to sign up for a particular day (or days) of the year.
