Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto - 84 years after star-spotters first began their hunt for a ninth planet in our solar system, the elusive ‘Planet X' on 18th February 1930. The 24-year-old made the groundbreaking discovery at the Lowell Observatory, Arizona, just one week into a task that had mired other researchers for decades. That said, it was later realised that Pluto had been spotted on previous occasions, yet astronomers had mistakenly overlooked its significance. In this episode, The Retrospectors reveal how the ‘planet' came to be named by an 11-year-old British girl; explain why it is no longer a planet at all, but has been downgraded to ‘dwarf planet'; and consider Walt Disney's influence on its place in the public affections… Further Reading: ‘Clyde Tombaugh: the astronomer who discovered Pluto' (BBC Sky at Night Magazine, 2020): https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-science/clyde-tombaugh-astronomer-discovered-pluto ‘Obituary: Clyde W.

Piero Bianucci"Vita sghemba"Ottant'anni con scrittori, scienziati e telescopiEdizioni ETSwww.edizioniets.comAvanti negli anni, ci si accorge che “siamo” – o meglio, diventiamo – gli incontri che abbiamo fatto. Ogni incontro lascia una emozione, una idea, una esperienza. Giornalista di lungo corso, Piero Bianucci ha praticato il mondo letterario curando le pagine culturali della «Gazzetta del Popolo» per 14 anni, e molto più a lungo ha frequentato il mondo scientifico da redattore capo del quotidiano «La Stampa». Qui ripercorre la variegata galleria dei suoi incontri. Alcuni sono diventati amicizie: Primo Levi, Fernanda Pivano, Tullio Regge, Piero Angela, Margherita Hack, Ernesto Ferrero, Francesco De Bartolomeis, Didimo. Altri hanno generato rapporti intellettuali più o meno profondi: Rita Levi-Montalcini, Emilio Segré, Renato Dulbecco, Carlo Rubbia, Harold Kroto (tutti premi Nobel), Edoardo Amaldi, Bruno Pontecorvo, Giancarlo Wick e molti altri. Sullo sfondo, scorrono i grandi eventi degli ultimi ottant'anni, dalla bomba atomica di Hiroshima all'Intelligenza Artificiale di ChatGPT. Troviamo l'appartata Torino sabauda, la Torino dormitorio della Grande Fabbrica e quella post-industriale. Il consumismo e poi la frugalità imposta dalla crisi ecologica. La radio cede il passo alla tv, l'analogico al digitale, dilaga Internet. L'attesa di vita è quasi raddoppiata, la lettura del DNA ha cambiato la biologia, l'atomo e l'universo hanno sempre meno segreti. Dai giornali è scomparso il piombo, ma ora scompaiono le edicole. Insomma, anni interessanti. E i prossimi?Piero Bianucci è uno dei più noti scrittori scientifici italiani. Dal 1975 ad oggi ha pubblicato più di trenta volumi, alcuni anche di argomento letterario. Per la sua attività divulgativa la “International Astronomical Union” gli ha intitolato l'asteroide 4821. Collabora al quotidiano «La Stampa» – dove nel 1981 ha fondato il supplemento «Tuttoscienze» – alla Rai, alla Radio-televisione svizzera e insegna giornalismo all'Università di Padova. Cura l'edizione italiana della rivista di astronomia «BBC Sky at Night». Tra i suoi libri più recenti, Pellegrini dell'Universo (Solferino, 2022) e Creativi si nasce o si diventa? (Dedalo, 2022). Laureatosi in filosofia nel 1967 alla scuola di Luigi Pareyson, da sempre coltiva l'astronomia. Abita a Torino, e in ogni stanza, ad ogni finestra e ogni balcone, c'è un telescopio.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
