Podcasts about asteroid bennu

The OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) mission has been a resounding success, from taking a sample of asteroid Bennu to returning that sample to Earth. The first in-depth analysis of the space rocks is complete, and the results have been published in Nature and Nature Astronomy. One of the most intriguing results shows that 14 of the 20 amino acids life on Earth uses to form proteins have been found in the sample. This result supports the hypothesis that objects that formed farther from the Sun provided precursor ingredients for life. Join communications specialist Beth Johnson and senior sample scientist Danny Glavin from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center for a discussion of these important results and their implications for the development of life. (Recorded live on 13 March 2025.)

Kann uns der Asteroid Bennu zeigen, wie das Leben begann? Die NASA-Raumsonde OSIRIS-REx hat Gesteins- und Staubproben vom Asteroiden Bennu zur Erde gebracht – mit einer spektakulären Entdeckung: Wissenschaftler fanden darin Aminosäuren und Nukleobasen – zentrale Bausteine für Leben! Ist damit bewiesen, dass Leben durch Zufall entstanden ist? Oder gibt es Hinweise auf einen Schöpfer?

#HOTEL MARS:  ASTEROID BENNU COLLISION WITH EARTH 2187? 1958

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 19The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastNew Insights into Earth's Water, Asteroid Bennu's Composition, and Marsquake TriggersIn this episode of SpaceTime, we investigate a groundbreaking study that challenges previous beliefs about when water arrived on Earth. New findings suggest that water may have come in during the later stages of Earth's formation, providing fresh perspectives on the origins of life on our planet. The study highlights the importance of molybdenum isotopes in understanding the timing of water delivery and the conditions necessary for life.Searles Lake and Asteroid BennuWe also explore the intriguing similarities between Searles Lake in California and the asteroid Bennu, as researchers find that both environments share common water-soluble minerals. The Osiris Rex mission has revealed that Bennu's samples contain evaporite minerals formed under wet conditions, shedding light on the potential for life-sustaining elements in our solar system's past.Meteoroid Impacts and MarsquakesAdditionally, a new study indicates that meteoroid impacts may play a more significant role in triggering marsquakes than previously considered. Analyses from NASA's Mars InSight lander reveal that many seismic events on Mars could be linked to impacts, challenging existing assumptions about the planet's seismic activity.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 19 for broadcast on 12 February 202500:49 Water arrival on Earth06:30 Searles Lake and asteroid Bennu12:15 Meteoroid impacts and Marsquakes18:00 Changes in men's height and weight22:45 Discovery of ancient bird fossils in Antarctica27:00 The best way to boil an egg30:15 AI and national security concernswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Samples returned from the asteroid Bennu have revealed astonishing news about the potential origins of life of Earth.

About four and a half years ago, a spacecraft called OSIRIS-REx touched down on the surface of an asteroid called Bennu. It drilled down and scooped up samples of rock and dust and, after several years of travel, delivered those samples back to Earth.Since then, researchers around the world have been analyzing tiny bits of that asteroid dust, trying to tease out as much information as they can about what Bennu is like and where it might have come from. Two scientific papers published this week give some of the results of those experiments. Researchers found minerals that could have arisen from the drying of an icy brine, and a soup of organic molecules, including ammonia and 14 of the 20 amino acids necessary for life on Earth.Dr. Danny Glavin and Dr. Dante Lauretta join Flora Lichtman to talk about the samples, what their analysis is revealing, and what those findings could mean for the hunt for life elsewhere in the solar system.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Die Ergebnisse stützen die Theorie, dass die Bausteine des Lebens aus dem Weltall stammen könnten. (Angelika Kren) (07:25) Grüne Schifffahrt: Der Schiffsverkehr auf den Weltmeeren produziert ähnlich viel CO2 wie die Luftfahrt. Die Herausforderungen klimaneutral zu werden sind ebenfalls ähnlich: Batteriebetriebene Schiffe eignen sich mit der heutigen Technologie allenfalls für Kurzstrecken; die Branche setzt deshalb auf künstliche Treibstoffe. Da die Schifffahrtindustrie mit einem Zeithorizont von mehreren Jahrzehnten planen muss sind bereits jetzt zukunftsträchtige Lösungen gefragt.

Asteroid Bennu yields a watery pool of history, curtesy of an international team of scientists including the Natural History Museum in London's Sara Russell. Also, in a week of tumultuous changes to federal funding and programmes, some voices of US scientists affected and concerned by Executive Orders from the White House. Betsy Southwood, formerly of the EPA is worried not just about the government employees' careers, but the environment itself and the whole of environmental science in the US and the world. Chrystal Starbird runs a lab at the University of North Carolina and is worried about the fate of grants aimed at diversifying scientific expertise, but also that some grant schemes are getting erroneously included in the anti-DEI clampdown.

In this episode:00:46 Evidence of ancient brine reveals Bennu's watery pastAnalysis of samples taken from the asteroid Bennu reveal the presence of organic compounds important for life, and that its parent asteroid likely contained salty, subsurface water. Collected by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, these rocks and dust particles give insights into the chemistry of the early Solar System, and suggest that brines may have been an important place where pre-biotic molecules were formed. As brines are found throughout the Solar System, this finding raises questions about whether similar molecules will be found in places like Jupiter's moon Europa.Research Article: McCoy et al.Research Article: Glavin et al.News: Asteroid fragments upend theory of how life on Earth bloomed14:22 Research HighlightsHow seaweed farms could capture carbon, and why chimps follow each other to the bathroom.Research Highlight: Seaweed farms dish up climate benefitsResearch Highlight: All together now: chimps engage in contagious peeing16:31 How maize may have supported a civilizationResearchers have found evidence of intensive maize agriculture that could help explain how a mysterious South American society produced enough food to fuel a labour-force big enough to build enormous earth structures. It appears that the Casarabe people, who lived in the Amazon Basin around 500-1400 AD, restructured the landscape to create water conserving infrastructure that allowed for year-round production of maize. While this work provides new insights into how the Casarabe may have established a complex monument-building culture, these people vanished around 600 years ago, and many questions remain about their lives.Research Article: Lombardo et al.25:52 DeepSeek R1 wows scientistsA new AI model from a Chinese company, DeepSeek, rivals the abilities of OpenAI's o1 — a state-of-the art ‘reasoning' model — at a fraction of the cost.

In this episode we return to the theme of Planetary Protection, continuing the conversation we started in episodes 19 and 20 where we discussed the return of samples from Asteroid Bennu to Earth in NASA's recent OSIRIS Rex mission.  There we talked about what measures were taken to protect the biosphere of Earth from any unforeseen biological agents that such a sample may harbor, hearkening back to the plot of Michael Crichton's famous novel 'The Andromeda Strain'.  In this episode we continue down this road with science fiction author Edward M. Lerner, this time contemplating the difficulties and dangers inherent in a return of samples from Mars to Earth, in his new novel 'Life and Death on Mars'.  We discuss the difference between samples from asteroids and samples from Mars, and contemplate the possible existence of life on Mars along with the various possible consequences of its interaction with life on Earth. We also talk about the international collaborative efforts in the space station and the return to the Moon, how the Moon can act as a stepping stone in the race to Mars, what resources can form the basis of an economy and permanent presence on Mars, using a Mars base to exploit the mineral wealth of the asteroid belt, and imagine what may become the next space race after Mars.Buzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

Our story begins with NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft and its unprecedented mission to asteroid Bennu. This asteroid, roughly the size of the Empire State Building, presented a starkly different reality than what scientists had anticipated. Early predictions suggested a surface covered in small pebbles, but the reality was a landscape of boulders, challenging previous assumptions about such celestial bodies.

Prof Sara Russell of the UK's Natural History Museum reveals how she will be studying the samples of Asteroid Bennu returned to Earth by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, and what it could tell us about the history of our Solar System.   Learn more about your ad choices.

This conversation was a great example of what we're trying to do with this podcast, the perfect balance between Science and Science Fiction.  Marty sits down with Dr. Tim Swindle to discuss The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton and The Andromeda Evolution by Daniel H. Wilson, in relation to NASA's OSIRIS REx mission which has returned a sample of Asteroid Bennu to Earth, as well as the upcoming Mars Sample Return mission.  Dr. Swindle is a professor emeritus from the University of Arizona who  specializes is radiometric chronology, which makes it possible measure the ages of very old things in space and on earth by characterizing the relative balance of various radio-isotopes, much like Carbon dating but with different atoms like Potassium and Argon.  We discuss the natural exchange of material between all the bodies in our solar system and maybe even other solar systems, and reflect on the possibility that the genesis of life may be a collective effort of molecules created in various places across the solar system.  We learn about meteors and cosmic dust and how they can penetrate our atmosphere to land on Earth without burning up.  We also speculate about the likely carbon-based composition of extraterrestrial life if ever we find it, and the likelihood that life which evolved in a radically different extra-terrestrial environment could not harm the life that has evolved on Earth.Timothy Swindle | Lunar and Planetary Laboratory & Department of Planetary Sciences | The University of Arizona:https://www.lpl.arizona.edu/faculty/swindleOSIRIS-REx - NASA Science:https://science.nasa.gov/mission/osiris-rex/The Andromeda Strain - Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andromeda_StrainThe Andromeda Evolution - Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andromeda_EvolutionThe Andromeda Evolution (Andromeda, #2) by Daniel H.

A couple weeks ago, NASA did something they'd never done before: they collected material from an asteroid and brought it back to Earth. These samples — harvested as part of the OSIRIS-REx mission — could tell us more about our planet's beginnings and even reveal information about the origins of life. But collecting samples from space doesn't come without risk. In this episode, we delve into the heated debates among geologists and biologists during the construction of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL) in the 1960s, in preparation for the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 — the first to put a human on the moon. We didn't bring back anything harmful, which is fortunate because flaws in protocols and the LRL design would not have prevented a moon microbial crisis here on Earth. But we can learn from those mistakes and apply what we now know to other fields such as artificial intelligence and climate change. Links to the Tiny Show & Tell stories are here and here.

A successful crash landing back to Earth. Seven years and a handful of days after it was launched, OSIRIS-REx returns home with the all important samples of asteroid Bennu. Within 90 minutes NASA teams had secured the payload and moved it to a temporary clean room at the Utah Test and Training Range near Salt Lake City. There, it's under a constant bath of nitrogen - to avoid Earthly contamination.Your deep dive into OSIRIS-REx, and the only podcast to speak with NASA scientists is right here on Trekzone's Talkin' Science.

On this week's episode, we review the OSIRIS-REx mission and Asteroid Bennu as the sample return is underway on September 24, 2023. This unique robotic space mission will give us data about our early Solar System and what ingredients were around an estimated to be 4.5 billions years ago. This pristine sample is not only a look at the Sol System's genesis, but Bennu is an asteroid with a potentially hazardous orbit with Earth in the next century.  We discuss: WHAT is the OSIRIS-REx Mission? WHAT is Asteroid Bennu? HOW did OSIRIS-REx gather the sample from Bennu's surface? HOW will OSIRIS-REx return the sample to Earth? WHY is OSIRIS-REx important? WHY is Asteroid Bennu important? HOW can we prevent Asteroid Bennu from impacting us in the late 2100s? Best of luck to the recovery teams! Hopefully the Bennu sample returned intact and uncontaminated.  Let us know what YOU think in the comments or email us at todayinspacepodcast@gmail.com!

Cosmic Coffee Time's resident space rock expert and NASA mission scientist Greg Brennecka is back again to preview the return to Earth of NASA's incredible OSIRIS-REx mission. OSIRIS-REx is coming to the end of an epic seven year journey to collect a rock and soil sample from asteroid Bennu. Greg is a mission scientist on OSIRIS-REx and will be doing analysis on the Bennu sample in his own lab. It's breathtakingly rare to get a pristine sample from an asteroid in another part of the solar system, and Greg shares with us the plans for this sample and what this 60 gram sample of asteroid could teach us. If you want to learn more about rocks from space, check out Greg's book 'Impact' at Harper Collins here    Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on Twitter for some special content  twitter.com/CosmicCoffTime You can request a topic for the show!

If you are like me, you might catch yourself wondering how to avert a disaster that hurtled the way of dinosaurs (a meteorite crashing into earth). If you are like a scientist at NASA, you'd have found a way to avert that disaster. If you are like any space scientist around the world, you'd be onto greater things - such as finding out how the solar system looked like, a few billion years ago.NASA's recent mission to the Bennu asteroid combines all of these elements. An answer to the mysteries of our universe and a way to avert humans going extinct. In this episode, high schoolers from Bal Bharati Public School, Dwarka, New Delhi (Kavya Swami, a ninth-grader & Kanwarjoy Singh, an eleventh grader) share what they found most exciting about this topic.Reference materials: Click here to read  all about NASA's mission and if you want more details about the asteroid, here's where you can find it Support the showTo subscribe for your free copy of the newsletter: please click hereIf you would like to get whatsapp alerts about new episodes: please click here To speak on the show as a co-host: follow us on Instagram to find out how If you like what you're listening to, please do support us by contributing whatever you like, and for some exclusive benefitsSend us your comments at hello@wsnt.in.

SpaceTime Series 26 Episode 72 *Eventually everything in the universe will evaporate, not only black holes New theoretical research has shown that Stephen Hawking might have been right about black holes evaporating over time -- although not completely. *Asteroid Bennu just a pile of rubble Data from NASA's OSIRIS-REX mission has confirmed that the asteroid Bennu is composed of mostly piles of rubble held together by gravity -- rather than a solid rock. *Boeing's trouble plagued Starliner spacecraft suffers more delays The planned launch of Boeing's trouble plagued Starliner spacecraft has been postponed again following new problems which officials say should have been caught earlier. *The Science Report Study says warming temperatures will see nearly 80 per cent of coral die in the next 80 years.

Dante Lauretta, Regents' Professor of Planetary Science at the University of Arizona and the principal investigator for NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample mission, has been working on bringing back samples from Asteroid Bennu since 2004- and he still has two more years before he might be able to touch them. We talked to Dante about the amount of patience required when working in science- from submitting (and getting rejected) numerous proposals to seeing births and deaths and marriages and divorces, a lot happens when working on a project for years. We also talked about how his passion for science stems from his love for exploring, and how in two years, when he finally has his asteroid samples, it will be worth a billion dollars.* *give or takeThis episode was produced by Shane M Hanlon and Nisha Mital, and mixed by Collin Warren.

A spacecraft the size of a passenger van is orbiting an asteroid nearly 100 million miles away. As the OSIRIS-REx mission sends back images and data, scientists are learning the asteroid is not what they expected.

 This week we look at the impending demise of NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft after being on orbit since 18 March, 2011. We also examine the SpaceX Cargo Resupply Mission Number 6 and discuss the science cargo on board, and the results of the Stage one landing attempt, critical to the company's booster re-usability formula. United Launch Alliance was also in the news, announcing it's booster replacement for the Delta IV and Atlas V, called "Vulcan" by popular vote. The team discusses Vulcan's roll out and implications. Also look at the progressthat OrbitalATK has made in getting Antares and Cygnus back to space.   We turn our attention to the Northeast Astronomy Forum that took place at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York. Some of the Guest speakers included NASA's Bill Gerstenmaier, Associate Administrator, Human Exploration and Operations Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC and Dr. Jim Green, NASA's Planetary Science Division Director. Other speaker's included: Dr. Matt Penn Associate Astronomer of the National Solar Observatory, in Tucson AZ who introduced a plan to recruit the amateur astronomy community to track the 2017 US Solar Eclipse called Citizen Cate.  Ellyne Kinney Spano, Image Processing Lead of NASA'sOSIRISREx mission with ways how you can also get involved on the Mission to Asteroid Bennu. Dr. Jon Morseformally the director of NASA's Astrophysics Division and instrumental with the Hubble Space Telescope porgram, now Board of Director's Member of the BoldlyGoAstro-1 Telescope. Kassy Showcases a set of Binoviews by a company called Denkmier that turns the sky into a 3D viewing experience.  The team gives the final moments of the show to pay tribute to Jan DuRaine, Tireless STEM Educator and one of the first supports of the program.
