Astrophiz is ‘an exceptional astronomy podcast’ that keeps you up to date with the latest research in Astrophysics, Radio Astronomy, Optical Astronomy, Particle Physics, Big Data Management, Astro AI and Space Science.
Two episodes/month.
Episode 1: On the 1st of each month Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave’s SkyGuide tells observers and astrophotographers what to look for in the morning and night skies, and in ‘Ian’s Tangent’ he tells us astronomical stories of discovery.
then he gives astrophotographers a special ‘challenge’ to extend their skills .
Episode 2: On the 15th of each month, Brendan conducts an in-depth interview with a respected astrophysicist, astronomer, space scientist, data scientist, telescope engineer, project manager or particle physicist, and we discover their science journey and rare insights into how they think and conduct their amazing research into exactly how our universe works.
How we started:
From Faraday to SKA.
In our earliest episodes we trace the development of radio astronomy and the impact of Faraday’s experiments, Maxwell’s Equations, Marconi, and the invention of radar on the science of radio astronomy. We see echoes of this early history in later episodes when we hear about whole buildings encased in Faraday cages in remote Australia to prevent stray EM radiation impacting on the SKA pre-cursor, the Murchison Wide-field Array of ‘spider’ dipole antennae.
All our podcasts are freely available and can be downloaded or streamed ad-free from Apple Podcasts, and Soundcloud.
Astrophiz is free, not-for-profit and self-sponsored.
Our aim is to build community understanding of science in general and astrophysics in particular by interviewing a diverse range of astrophysicists, radio astronomers, space scientists, astrophotographers, aurora hunters, telescope engineers, particle physicists and project managers.
