Description

Oh, nothing… Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is there really no way to do FTL travel? Well, no – but there’s no harm going through the options again. - Just doing it. - Quantum stuff. - Send information. But, faster than light? Given photons can’t even manage it, it’s seems highly unlikely we’ll ever get spacecraft to do it. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is cosmic expansion just the tail-end of early inflation? Cosmic expansion – that is, the ongoing expansion of the Universe – is something we can readily observe. Indeed, since the further our we look the further back in time we are looking, it’s apparent that varying rates of expansion has been going on since the cosmic microwave background was released.   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.
