Awesome Astronomy - September Part 2

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.   The Discussion:  Farewell Frank Drake. It’s uncrewed, not unmanned! Filming with the BBC again. Listeners’ emails on city astronomy and the missing AweAst show this month.   The News: JWST unearths a huge cosmic riddle: CEERS-1749! Artemis 1 moon launch delays. Solar astronomers solve one of the great mysteries about the Sun. A round up of all the incredible things that have happened in space this month.(Thanks to @jessicaxlis for the inspiration… and much of the content!)   Skyguide: As we’re a little late in the month for a September skyguide, this is a quick guide to the astronomy events to observe over the next few months. Pay attention because there’s some great oppositions, occultations, eclipses, meteor showers and possibly even a couple of naked eye comets!   Q&A: Can red-shift, spectroscopy, mass evaluations etc still be counted on even after the images have been distorted & magnified by foreground galaxies? Can the effect of gravitational lensing be accurately accounted for?  From our good friend Alan Beech in the UK.   www.awesomeastronomy.com   Bio:  Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).   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!
