Dear Cheap Astronomy \u2013 Selfies in space. Buzz Aldrin claims to have taken the first selfie in space in 1966, where he fixed a Hasselblad camera on the hull on Gemini 12 and then leant back before triggering the camera. Later on, in 1969, Neil Armstrong took an accidental selfie \u2013 the only still photo of him on the Moon where he and his camera are reflected in Buzz Aldrin\u2019s visor.   Dear Cheap Astronomy \u2013 Is Hawking Radiation real? Long-term listeners are probably familiar with Cheap Astronomy\u2019s tendency to go a bit ranty in the face of any unreasonable acceptance of cosmology hypotheses. So, for example, the Universe is not only expanding but that expansion is accelerating. Sounds extraordinary, but there\u2019s sound observational evidence to back it up.   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!
