I don't know if anyone would be interested, but for some time the BBC have been broadcasting The Sky At Night over the web for anyone with Real Player. This show is broadcast once a month in the UK (don't know if its on the world service either) and is an astronomy & astro physics magazine program hosted by the legendary Patrick Moore. I have done a quick search of the forums and haven't found a similar thread so here is the link:

This really is an excellent resource to the amateur, student and professional alike. This program was what first sparked my interest as a child in astronomy and astrophysics. I know most of you on this site are a little older but just thought I'd share this little gem with you and hope you all enjoy it.

I've seen a few shows (webcast), but then astronomy took a back seat (actually, it was never quite at the front in the first place). Thanks for the reminder.

Here's the link to the Sky at Night magazine

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
