  • The predicted impending Nova from T Coronae Borealis! An interview with Dr David Zurek

    The predicted impending Nova from T Coronae Borealis! An interview with Dr David Zurek
    2024/10/28

    Today I interview a researcher from the American Museum of Natural History, my uncle, Dr David Zurek about Novea. Yes the same institution where the famous Neil deGrasse Tyson resides.

    What brought this episode about? Well ~3000 light years away from Earth, a white dwarf star named T Coronae Borealis known to astronomers simply as “T CrB,” is about to have a brief but powerful runaway nuclear reaction! Only issue is it's late! Join Whimsical Wavelengths and the discussion of two Dr Zurek's with respect to the Hubble Space Telescope, Novea (the correct plural) and runaway nuclear reactions!

    Dr David Zurek's stated research intrests on American Museum of Natural History's website states: Photometric studies of stellar populations; variable stars; cataclysmic binaries; nova shells

    Dante's Peak Pt2 - ballistics, lava and earthquakes Oh my! with SFU's Volcanology Group
    2024/10/14

    Welcome back to the podcast that talks scientifically about disaster movies? Yes it has been two weeks so here is the next installment of Whimsical Wavelengths!

    This time we join some colleagues, from Simon Fraser University's Volcanology Group, to watch the best(?) volcano movie ever made by "Hollywood". Dante's Peak. James bond becomes a volcanologist.

    We tackle the science and the volcanic activity over beers. Learn about volcanic activity, a few stories from the field and a bit more about how decisions are made in a crisis. We use our own examples from volcanoes around world. There is even a Monty Python reference. What more could you want in an episode!

    Episode 2 is here! Setting up some background for hopefully understanding the discussion when a handful of fellow volcanologists watch Dante's Peak together!

    Yes that's right this is Whimsical Wavelengths where we over explain disaster movies! And attempt to show you igneous is bliss!

    Where Mt St Helens gets it's magma? What are the signs of a long dormant volcano becoming active? Ever wonder how a stereotypical volcanic crisis unfolds? Then you are in the right place!
