Description

Join us for an exclusive SETI Live event, as we take a first look at the next-generation telescope from Unistellar - the ODYSSEY.   First introduced in 2017 with their eVscope, Unistellar has been a prominent collaborator with the SETI Institute since 2019. eVscopes have been used by schools, colleges, and the public to observe exoplanets, supernovae, and asteroids in a truly global network that continues to grow.   Dr. Simon Steel, Deputy Director of the Carl Sagan Center, and Dr. Franck Marchis, Co-founder of Unistellar and citizen science director at the SETI Institute, will talk about the technology of the new telescope, insights on how such a telescope is beta tested, and how the ODYSSEY will dramatically impact citizen and amateur astronomer’s contribution to cutting edge scientific research. We’ll take a tour of this beautiful instrument, inside and out, and look at some early results and images. (Recorded 10 January 2024.)   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.
