The Arctic is host to cold, hypersaline, perennial springs that flow through 600m of permafrost.  I studied 44 samples from cores, sediments, filtrates and microbial mats from these springs. Surficial life at these springs has been studied for decades, but this is the first investigation that looks at the deep subsurface life. This is of interest as a Mars analogue site for deep subsurface life on Mars. For upcoming interviews check out the Grad Chat webpage on Queen’s University School of Graduate Studies & Postdoctoral Affairs website.

NASA JPL intern Maya D. Yanez has recently defended her Ph.D. on acetylenotrophy. This is the ability to extract energy from acetylene, and only a few species of bacteria (that we know of here on Earth) have it. They aren't very studied, and there's never been astrobiology studies specifically about this - so Maya's Ph.D. represents a whole new possibility for life to exist on other worlds.

While it is unlikely that Earth microbes could survive on Titan, there is a possibility that microbes have evolved or originated on Titan and are accustomed to its unique conditions. Titan's thick atmosphere, comprised of nitrogen and methane, protects the surface from radiation. The presence of hydrocarbons, such as acetylene, in Titan's atmosphere and on its surface is a key factor in its potential habitability. The subsurface ocean on Titan, which is 18 times the volume of Earth's oceans, is another exciting aspect that could support life. Maya discusses the energy choices of microbes and how they impact their metabolism. She explains how energy-yielding reactions have led to the discovery of new microbes and metabolisms on Earth. Maya also talks about the importance of anammox in the nitrogen cycle and the conditions necessary for life to exist on other planets. She discusses the formation of the solar system and the role of supernovae in the condensation of gas and dust to form planets. The conversation explores the formation of the solar system and the conditions necessary for life on other planets. It discusses the differences between gas giants and rocky planets, the process of fusion in stars, and the temperature variations in the sun. The possibility of landing on the sun and the Parker Solar Probe mission are also mentioned. The conversation then delves into the formation of moons and the potential for life on Titan, focusing on the presence of complex organic chemistry, protection from cosmic radiation, and the availability of minerals. The importance of phosphorus in life and the search for extraterrestrial life that is different from life on Earth are also discussed. The conversation in this part focuses on the definition of life and the potential for life on other planets. The concept of life with a Y is introduced, which encompasses all types of life on Earth and the potential for life as we don't know it. The discussion also touches on the origins of viruses and their relationship to bacteria. The energy storage molecule ATP is mentioned, and the density of energy it contains is explored. The conversation concludes with a personal story about Maya's educational journey and her passion for learning. Maya shares her journey of pursuing higher education and her experiences as a minority in the field of science. She discusses the challenges she faced, including cultural identity loss and self-doubt. Maya highlights the importance of having mentors who believe in you and the impact they can have on your success. She also talks about her research on acetylenotrophs and the potential for life on Titan. Maya concludes by sharing her passion for science education and her efforts to make science accessible to young students. In this final part of the conversation, Maya discusses her work at USC and her aspirations to work at JPL. She also talks about the budget cuts at NASA and the importance of diversity and inclusion in STEM. Maya shares how she has inspired her younger family members to pursue science and emphasizes the need for representation in the field. The conversation then delves into the potential for life on Mars, Venus, Europa, and Titan, and the ethical considerations of human exploration and colonization of other planets.

Titan's thick atmosphere, comprised of nitrogen and methane, protects the surface from radiation. The presence of hydrocarbons, such as acetylene, in Titan's atmosphere and on its surface is a key factor in its potential habitability. Titan's subsurface ocean, which is 18 times the volume of Earth's oceans, is another exciting aspect that could support life. Microbes make energy choices based on the type of diet and metabolism they perform. Energy-yielding reactions have led to the discovery of new microbes and metabolisms on Earth. Anamox is critical to the nitrogen cycle and was theorized based on its energy-yielding potential. The formation of the solar system involved the condensation of gas and dust, triggered by a nearby supernova explosion. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn formed farther away from the sun and were able to capture hydrogen and helium gas, while rocky planets like Earth did not capture these gases and remained closer to the sun. The temperature of the sun varies, with the surface being cooler than the corona, which can reach millions of degrees Kelvin. The Parker Solar Probe mission flew close to the sun, but there is no solid surface to land on. Moons can be formed through capture, formation in place, or other processes, and Jupiter's moons are believed to have formed in place. Titan, one of Jupiter's moons, has conditions that could potentially support life, including complex organic chemistry, protection from cosmic radiation, and the availability of minerals. Phosphorus is an essential element for life, as it is part of the DNA molecule. The search for extraterrestrial life should consider the possibility of life forms that are different from those on Earth. Defining life in a way that is agnostic but encompasses all types of life on Earth is a challenge for astrobiologists. The concept of life with a Y provides a framework for categorizing the results of potential life on other planets. Viruses are not unanimously considered to be alive on Earth, but if found on another planet, they may be considered a form of life. ATP is a molecule that carries energy and is essential for the functioning of cells. Maya's educational journey highlights the importance of encouragement and support in pursuing a career in science. The importance of having mentors who believe in you and support your goals The impact of cultural identity loss on minority students in higher education The challenges and self-doubt experienced by students pursuing science The potential for life on Titan and the research on acetylenotrophs The importance of making science education accessible to young students Maya primarily conducted her work at USC, but she has also been involved with JPL and aspires to work there in the future. NASA has faced budget cuts, which have affected JPL and led Maya to explore other career options in education and outreach. Maya has inspired her younger family members to pursue science and encourages diversity and inclusion in STEM. The potential for life on Mars, Venus, Europa, and Titan is discussed, with considerations of energy availability and ethical concerns. Exploration of space should prioritize scientific discovery and understanding before considering tourism and colonization.

Exploring the Potential for Life on Titan Navigating Higher Education as a Minority in Science Budget Cuts at NASA and Career Options Inspiring the Next Generation of Scientists Sound Bites "Could I take some microbes from here on earth and dump them onto Titan's surface and would they survive? That answer is probably no." "Titan is very unique when it comes to solar system bodies. I like to view it as the most Earth-like body in the solar system." "Every hydrocarbon that we find on Titan's surface is likely sourced from methane at the beginning of the day." "Microbes, the choice for them is really about energy." "Energy-yielding reactions have led to the discovery of brand new microbes and brand new metabolisms here on Earth." "Anamox is critical to how nitrogen is cycled around the world." "That's why Uranus and Neptune are our ice giants, is that they were far enough away from the sun that they could coalesce rocks and metals and then get the hydrogen ices or hydrogen compounds and other ices forming." "The rocky planets, those close to the sun, did not get massive enough to begin to capture hydrogen and helium gas. If we did, we would have been closer to gas giants." "I could look into the sky and then I could see the sun turn on." "How do we define life in a way that is agnostic but encompasses all types of life on Earth?" "If we found viruses somewhere else, we would say that we found life, yet we don't consider them to be life on Earth." "Viruses are encapsulated. Viruses do carry genetic material that they can use to produce future cells." "I didn't realize how much of my own Hispanic and Mexican identity I was losing being in a town where I couldn't speak Spanish, I couldn't pick up the grocery store, like things at the grocery store I would normally grab." "I'm struggling in this thing. It must mean that I can't do this thing. And that's not true." "Hi, I failed physics. Will you still work with me?" "I'm also so impressed at how you have time to spend on all these kids doing all this extra stuff on top of working in NASA JPL" "I have five niblings, five nieces and nephews. Three of them are not yet in school. But the two older ones, one of them absolutely loves space, just had a space themed birthday party and loves math." "If you have a more diverse team in regards to race, gender, all kinds of different things, you will have more innovative ideas."

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We sat down with Matthew Roberts at his home on the East Coast and we were treated with a thoughtful talk on a fascinating subject. Matthew worked in the US Navy as a Cryptologist for 16 years where he spent many years working on encryption/decryption communication process to catch the bad guys the world round. He is also recognized as being featured in Episode 1 of the 2023 Netflix series Encounters. Starting in 2015 he began to have a series of fascinating profound personal experiences after being on board the USS Roosevelt during the famous Gimbal and the Go Fast events. The Navy later described these events as incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena into military training ranges. These events completely changed the course of Matthew's life, who had been a life-long atheist up to this point in his life. We learn about his journey of self-discovery, the subsequent opening up of his world view and his exploration of our place in the cosmos. Amongst the several themes in this episode, we discuss his insight on humanity's lack of insight on evolution beyond us, the dead-end nature of our materialistic western mindset, what he thinks non-human intelligence is trying to communicate and the significance of “picking at the edges of human perception”. See episodes with Ryan Graves (ep 141) and Kevin Day (ep 171) to hear about more experiences from other former US Navy servicemen. See also the session we had with Dr. Steven J. Dick, Astrobiologist and former Chief Historian at NASA (ep 150).

In this edition we discover Spain's Rio Tinto, or Red River, in Andalusia. The waterway's unique purple and burgundy tints, as well as sometimes yellow or blue colours, are due to the significant quantities of iron in the river. This acidity and these conditions make its environment comparable to those on the planet Mars. Astrobiologists from around the world, even from NASA, use the river for their studies. Our correspondents Céline Schmitt, Julien Garrel and Sarah Morris report.

Today's celestial journey takes us to Saturn's moon, Titan, where new research casts a shadow on the prospects of finding life in its sub-ice oceans. Despite the rich hydrocarbons on Titan's surface, the study by astrobiologist Catherine Neish suggests that the transfer of essential organic materials to the ocean below is far too slow to foster life as we know it. The implications of this finding could extend to other icy moons, potentially dampening hopes for habitability across our solar system.Then, we pivot to Earthly matters as we join the United Nations' cosmic conversation. The UN has finally agreed to tackle the burgeoning issue of satellite constellations cluttering our orbit. With over 8,000 satellites circling our planet and plans for many more, astronomers are increasingly concerned about light pollution and radio interference. But can the UN's agenda lead to effective regulation, or will it be a case of too little, too late in the fast-paced space industry?From the icy depths of Titan to the crowded skies of Earth, this episode of Space Nuts is a testament to the ever-evolving quest for knowledge and the challenges of preserving our cosmic frontiers.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. This week, we sit down with Steven at his home in Virginia. Steven was most recently the Chief Historian for NASA before his retirement. As an astronomer and an astrobiologist he has been a prolific thought leader, writer and theorist on cosmology, “cosmotheology” and on the implications of living in a “post biological universe”. We start with learning about the meanings of each and their significance to how we view ourselves in the universe. We discuss his ideas on the supernatural being the natural and his view on how we must stay open to what we think God is. Fascinating. We discuss ETs (a subject that he has been steeped in since his graduate student days) and his view on UFOs and technologically advanced alien civilizations and also his involvement in The Galileo Project with his friend and a former podcast guest and fellow astronomer, Avi Loeb. We also delve a little into the question of whether knowledge is objective, the problem of “stove-piping” in the scientific world and his advice that he gives to his grandchildren about passion. Did we say that he has a planet named after him?   Honourable mentions go out to Avi Loeb (ep105), Br Guy Consolmagno (ep133) and Fr. Nathan Castle (ep140).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2brd-3OVgn8 Premiered Jan 28, 2020. Whenever I talk about the search for life in the Universe and its emphasis on water, I get comments that scientists aren't being creative enough. Why does life rely on water? Couldn't there be lifeforms which are completely different from life on Earth? Isn't that the textbook definition of alien?   Astrobiologists have only scratched the surface in their search for life in the Universe, and they're going after the low-hanging fruit. Since life on Earth can be found wherever there's water, why not check out the water on other worlds? If that doesn't pan out, then they'll expand the search.   But it's possible there are aliens living right here on Earth among us, in a shadow biosphere, we just haven't detected them yet.   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!

The stars in our night sky are vanishing at an alarming rate. New data published in the journal Science —collected by citizen scientists around the world over more than a decade— shows the night sky is continuing to become less starry. That's largely due to light pollution from urban settlements, street lighting, and cars. Astrobiologist Hari Mogosanu says that a clear sky isn't just a nice-to-have thing. She says too much light and satellites means that we can't see objects travelling towards the Earth. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

!!!Support independent media at our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB !!! We normally think of planets as inanimate balls of nickel and silicon, animated by the molten rumbling of the inner core. How does our world change when someone like NASA's David Grinspoon reveals that planets are actually powerful beings? It requires zooming out from our own experience, lived in the narrow corridors of the human scale. It requires us to think on the galactic scale, to entertain ideas of living beings that operate in ways we can barely imagine. But imagine we do! We talk about the ways in which the wild creatures Earth live and breathe as a single organism, the role of humans in this interconnected world, and how Earth - and maybe all planets - come to be powerful, intelligent beings. This conversation is based on work that Grinspoon did with Dr. Sarah Walker and Dr. Adam Frank on Planetary Intelligence, check out their paper here: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-journal-of-astrobiology/article/intelligence-as-a-planetary-scale-process/5077C784D7FAC55F96072F7A7772C5E5 Support us by becoming a patron of the sciences: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB And when you buy David's book, Earth in Human Hands: https://amzn.to/3NoAcJS Follow David on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrFunkySpoon And by checking out David's work ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ https://ssed.gsfc.nasa.gov/davinci/ ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ https://funkyscience.net/ ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª #PlanetaryIntelligence #Gaia #NASA Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://youtu.be/1OCL5Lq8m6s ªº¬˚∆≤≥ ≤≥ Join the mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying microbial communication at Columbia University.
