Geoff - IPMS London member George Wray and I were tagged to build a couple of IAR80 review models from IBG in Poland - George isn't renovating a house, so his review was published in the latest IPMS Canada RT online magazine this month. His work is excellent, so I've been pushing myself to finish my version for the next issue. It's a beautiful kit - maybe what Wingnut Wings would do if they did 1/72 WW2 Romanian fighters… Terry - Work continues apace on the Moosaroo project. Mocking up the shadowbox has shown me a couple of things I'll need to change. Groundwork looks good so far, but a lot left to do. I need to get into the airbrush booth for the sub and some other items but will wait until it warms up a little. Some progress on both the Destroid Phalanx, which should be done in a short while and the Claude which is just in the cockpit phase now. Plenty of shelf queens waiting for some attention once bench space is available.***************************************WHAT WE ARE READINGStuart - Return of the King, On Terry's recommendation read and finished Stephen Baxter's Voyage,Geoff - Empire of the Summer Moon, by S.C. Gwynn - an excellent book about the history and destruction of the Comanche Nation in the southwest, centering around the remarkable last major Comanche leader, Quanah Parker. Apparently, it's been picked up for a movie adaptation. Highly recommended. Also, “The Skystone” by Jack Whyte, the first in a three volume series about the fictional “true” story behind the Arthurian legend. Hint: the core things happened in the period after the collapse of Roman rule in Britain as it slid into the dark ages, but no magic or mysticism- just events that were elaborated on over time until the myth we know today solidified. My son in law recommended it ages ago and I am pretty sure I read it before, but it's very good and hard to put down Terry: Finished Voyage by Steven Baxter, a very nice conjectural fiction about NASA going to Mars, and all the work and drama therein. I started his next book, Titan. The central conceit here is that Cassini/Huygens found life on Titan. I'm just in the early pages so it's all place setting at this point. Also reading the Bleach Manga, now that it's available in English for a decent price.***************************************SPONSOR AD #2Seans Custom Model Tools***************************************THINGS WE'VE SEENWilliam Adair 1/144 German WWI Fighter1/32 scratchbuilt Halifax IPMS Bolton, UKModel Airplane Maker's 2025 wish list.WW2 ammo color set***************************************THE LAST WORDFor more modelling podcast goodness, check out other modelling podcasts at modelpodcasts.comPlease leave us a positive review if you enjoy what we're doing!Check us out: FaceBook, YouTube, and our very own website.

Christiaan Huygens descubrió en 1656 la primera de las lunas de Saturno con un telescopio de su propia invención y le dio el nombre de Luna Saturni, hoy la conocemos como Titán. Giovanni Domenico Cassini descubrió las cuatro siguientes: Jápeto (1671), Rea (1672), Dione (1684) y Tetis (1684).En 1789, el año de la Revolución francesa, William Herschel descubrió las lunas Mimas y Encélado. En 1847 su hijo John Herschel propuso en sus Observaciones Astronómicas hechas en el Cabo de Buena Esperanza los nombres de los titanes, hermanos y hermanas de Crono (el nombre griego del dios romano Saturno) para los siete satélites de Saturno conocidos. Los siguiente dos satélites se descubrieron en 1848 y en 1898 y fueron llamados Hiperión y Febe. Conforme fue aumentando la calidad de las lentes y de los telescopios, se fueron descubriendo más lunas. En 1966 aparecieron Epimeteo y Jano. Cuando en 1997 se lanzó la misión espacial Cassini-Huygens cuya misión es precisamente investigar Saturno y sus lunas, ya se conocían 18 satélites de Saturno. Hasta el momento se conocen 62 satélites que orbitan alrededor del planeta de los anillos. De ellos 53 tienen clasificación oficial de lunas (esto quiere decir que tienen nombre) y los otros 9 son provisionales.

Amanda Lee Falkenberg with Marin Alsop/The London Symphony Orchestra & The London Voices — The Moons Symphony (Signum) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Amanda Lee Falkenberg by Amanda Lee Falkenberg is an Australian-born composer and pianist who lives in Dubai. Five years ago she took a leap of faith that led to the creation of a choral symphony that merges science and art. After a random email to a NASA scientist, which opened an entire universe of possibilities, she started work on her latest album, The Moon Symphony, featuring Marin Alsop conducting the London Symphony Orchestra, and the London Voices. Can you talk about the article that started this project? “I instantly went, ‘Oh my goodness! These moons are not weird. They're absolutely wonderful and I need to change their course.' I felt like after reading the article I just wanted to break them free and give them a voice. Knowing the power of music and being a film composer let me understand the persuasive and powerful qualities that music has more than any other art form. It can really manipulate the emotional landscape. It was so clear to me that that's what I wanted to do with these moons.” Why is it important for you to merge science and art? “I just couldn't ignore it. I felt like science was tapping me on the shoulder saying, ‘Hey, can we be part of this moon adventure with you?' At that point, I wasn't planning on having a choir, but I thought if I did get the choir involved it would give more relevance and outreach and could really house the science better.” Which of these moons or movements presented the greatest challenge for you? “Titan. I had a field day choosing the science of that moon because of all the recent discoveries, and because of the legendary Cassini–Huygens space-research mission by NASA. One of the challenging moments was when I had been composing nonstop for seven days, and I remember just listening back to what I had come up with. I don't like it at all. I scrapped everything. I just literally deleted it. “The moon Miranda of Uranus was a challenge for different reasons. I felt the most emotionally affected by her meaning. I just got so involved in her world. I remember feeling like I was living in a nightmare. I just wanted to beam myself out of it because it just was so dark, scary and violent. “That's when I found the story of the seventh moon. I thought, ‘Oh, my goodness! This is what's missing from my symphony. The seventh story. Why don't we position Earth's moon, our moon, in this storytelling?' It's something to remind us that we actually do have a home in the solar system and it was the moon Miranda's story that brought me to that inspiration.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Le survol de Saturne par la sonde Pioneer 11 a fait des envieux. Cette mission a visiblement aussi nourri la curiosité des scientifiques. Alors que les sondes Voyager 1 et 2 sont encore en développement, un projet scientifique d'étude de Saturne et de ses lunes née dans l'esprit des agences spatiales américaine et européenne.
Desde a sua descoberta quando a sonda Cassini-Huygens mergulhou através das plumas salgadas que saíam do interior da lua de Saturno, Encélado, e fez uma detecção inesperada de compostos que também estão associados a fontes hidrotermais no fundo do oceano da Terra. Mais e mais estudos tem sido feitos para tentar explicar processos que possam causar a alta produção de metano, que aqui na Terra é criado em sua maioria por vida, e parece que realmente o mesmo motivo, tem sido cada vez mais plausível, o responsável pela geração desse metano por lá também.

On our first mission-focused episode, we tackle the joint NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission that studied the Saturn system from 2004 to 2017. Over those 13 years (about one half of a Saturn year), the Cassini orbiter collected a vast dataset for studying Saturn's iconic rings, enigmatic icy moons, and the gas giant itself, while the Huygens lander made a brief visit to the surface of the hazy moon Titan. We discuss the basics of the Saturn system, the Cassini-Huygens mission, and its major findings, but first — a brief chat on China's successful landing of a rover on Mars. 00:32 - China is on Mars! 13:00 - Basics of the Saturnian system and pre-Cassini history, 34:22 - Cassini mission architecture and findings.

NASA Deputy Payload Systems Engineer tells me about some of the cool things she's working on. Special thanks to the Sci-Fi Museum,
On 14th January 2005, the Huygens probe landed on Titan. Saturns and the solar systems largest Moon. This was a joint NAS/ESA mission called Cassini-Huygens. Whilst Huygens landed on Titan, Cassini continued to orbit Saturn. Professor John Zarnecki, the prinicpal investigator for the Surface Science Package, recalls the experience of that mission and what we learnt about Titan then and since.
The story of the remarkable mission to land on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn. The large mysterious moon has a thick orange atmosphere. No-one had ever seen the surface. In the late 1990s, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was sent on a 7 year, 3.5 billion km journey through space to explore Saturn and Titan. Alex Last spoke to Prof. Emeritus John Zarnecki of the Open University who worked on the mission. Photo: The surface of Titan at the point of landing.

Engineer and astronaut Stephanie Wilson was a toddler when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin visited the Moon. She may someday almost literally walk in their footsteps. Stephanie is one of 18 astronauts--9 women and 9 men--chosen for the Artemis Team. We also welcome back Cassini-Huygens project scientist Linda Spilker for another update on the discoveries still being made thanks to that flagship mission. Linda also looks ahead toward more missions in the outer solar system. Did you catch the great conjunction? Mat and Bruce did, and they’ll talk about it in What’s Up.

Resultados de la Misión Cassini/Huygens de la NASA/ESA en Saturno. En celebración esta semana de la oposición del planeta Saturno, visto desde la Tierra, en este programa de “Obsesión por el Cielo” Edgar y Pedro platican sobre la nave espacial Cassini/Huygens de la NASA y la Agencia Espacial Europea que recientemente, en el 2017, terminó su misión de 13 años (más 7 de viaje) orbitando y estudiando el sistema de Saturno. Iniciamos el programa hablando sobre las particularidades y la historia de esta compleja misión interplanetaria, y terminamos el programa mencionando los descubrimientos y resultados que nos parecen más interesantes. La parte más importante de la misión fue el descenso a la superficie a través de la atmósfera de la luna Titán por parte de la sonda Huygens. Esta cápsula logró medir las características de la atmósfera y fue el primer objeto terrestre en aterrizar en un cuerpo del sistema solar exterior. Las fotos que nos mandó revelan un mundo helado, pero con señas de erosión debido a un proceso hidrológico similar al del agua en la Tierra, pero con hidrocarburos en Titán. Otros resultados importantes son el estudio detallado del sistema de anillos de Saturno, los geiseres activos de la luna Encelado, las dos caras de la luna Iapeto, el hexágono atmosférico en el polo norte de Saturno, el campo magnético del planeta, y muchos otros más. Además de nuestra sección semanal de noticias, ofrecemos en este programa nuestra sección de “historia de la astronomía y la astronáutica”. Esperamos que disfruten del programa.
El octavo episodio repasa la vida del astrónomo Giovanni Cassini. Sus observaciones sobre Saturno y sus satélites Tuvieron un efecto duradero en el mundo científico. Neil deGrasse Tyson también narra la misteriosa historia del científico que concibió como ir a la Luna mientras luchaba por su vida en un trinchera durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Aleksandr Shargei cambió su nombre a Yuri Kondratyuk para salvarse y escribió un manuscrito sobre el uso de cohetes y la colonización espacial. Su carta terminó captando la atención de John Houbolt, un ingeniero de la NASA que se inspiró en ella para hacer posible las Misiones Apolo. También conoceremos la odisea de 20 años de duración de la sonda Cassini-Huygens, una nave exploradora en una misión suicida en otro mundo.
In this sequel to Carl Sagan’s beloved classic and the companion to the hit television series hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the primary author of all the scripts for both this season and the previous season of Cosmos, Ann Druyan explores how science and civilization grew up together. From the emergence of life at deep-sea vents to solar-powered starships sailing through the galaxy, from the Big Bang to the intricacies of intelligence in many life forms, Druyan documents where humanity has been and where it is going, using her unique gift of bringing complex scientific concepts to life. With evocative photographs and vivid illustrations, she recounts momentous discoveries, from the Voyager missions in which she and her husband, Carl Sagan, participated to Cassini-Huygens’s recent insights into Saturn’s moons. This breathtaking sequel to Sagan’s masterpiece explains how we humans can glean a new understanding of consciousness here on Earth and out in the cosmos — again reminding us that our planet is a pale blue dot in an immense universe of possibility. Druyan and Shermer also discuss: how to write a script for a television series her 20 years with Carl Sagan and what their collaboration meant how she dealt with her grief after Carl’s death (and how any of us can deal with such pain) who the Voyager records were really for Breakthrough Starshot science and religion God and morality free will and determinism the hard problem of consciousness the Fermi Paradox (where is everybody?) women in science how we can eventually settle on other worlds, and how to reach the stars … and beyond. Ann Druyan is a celebrated writer and producer who co-authored many bestsellers with her late husband, Carl Sagan. She also famously served as creative director of the Voyager Golden Record, sent into space 40 years ago. Druyan continues her work as an interpreter of the most important scientific discoveries, partnering with NASA and the Planetary Society. She has served as Secretary of the Federation of American Scientists and is a laureate of the International Humanist Academy. Most recently, she received both an Emmy and Peabody Award for her work in conceptualizing and writing National Geographic’s first season of Cosmos.

Feature Guest: Bonnie Buratti The spacecraft Cassini went out in spectacular fashion, travelling through Saturn’s rings for a final death dive into the gas giant. Even in its final heroic moments, Cassini was relaying back data shedding light on the bizarre worlds known as the ring moons of Saturn. The origin of these small bodies, which manage to maintain orbits within the turbulent environment of Saturn’s rings, pose a a puzzle for scientists. Today we’re joined here at The Star Spot by Bonnie Buratti of JPL with updates from her recently published study into this young and dynamic system of oddball worlds. Current in Space Dave presents a hole of a breakthrough: The much-anticipated Event Horizon Telescope has at last come online, and has already given us the stunning first-ever image of a black hole. Then Amelia and Samantha explore newly proposed possibilities concerning the habitable zone, the region around a star in which planets could support liquid water on their surfaces. And lastly Tony and Simon offer a back to back analysis of how we might save ourselves from a killer asteroid. Spoiler alert! The movies have it wrong, but we’re not entirely without hope. About Our Guest Bonnie Buratti is a planetary astronomer in the Division of Earth and Space Sciences at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where she leads the Comets, Asteroids, and Satellites Group.

Guest: Professor Jonathan Lunine In Episode 41, Michael talks to Professor Jonathan Lunine about ocean worlds, the Cassini–Huygens mission, and searching for life on Enceladus.
Whether there is life on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is at present an open question and a topic of scientific assessment and research. Titan is far colder than Earth, and its surface lacks stable liquid water, factors which have led some scientists to consider life there unlikely. On the other hand, its thick atmosphere is chemically active and rich in carbon compounds. On the surface there are bodies of liquid methane and ethane, and it is likely that there is a layer of liquid water under its ice shell; some scientists speculate that these liquid mixes may provide pre-biotic chemistry for living cells different from those on Earth. In June 2010, scientists analysing data from the Cassini–Huygens mission reported anomalies in the atmosphere near the surface which could be consistent with the presence of methane-producing organisms, but may alternatively be due to non-living chemical or meteorological processes. The Cassini–Huygens mission was not equipped to look directly for micro-organisms or to provide a thorough inventory of complex organic compounds.

Space exploration captured Dave Doody's imagination, early on. Today, as a senior engineer at Caltech/JPL, his fascination with the solar system has only increased. Dave, who served as Realtime Flight Operations Lead Engineer on NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn, has now been working for NASA for three decades. He began his career at the Jet Propulsion Lab, in Pasadena, as a member of the Voyager 2 flight team. Next came the Magellan mission, in the 1980s, with its exploration of Venus. Then, in 1994, he began working on the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn. The Cassini spacecraft, which launched in 1997, took seven years to arrive at the ringed planet. The mission would be a landmark one for NASA. Among the space probe's discoveries: evidence of an ocean beneath the crust of Saturn's moon, Titan. Cassini's "Grand Finale", in September of 2017, resulted in unique scientific data. The orbiter sampled particles from the planet's rings, mapped Saturn's gravity fields and sent back close-up pictures during its final dives. In addition to his work at NASA, Dave has published two books on space flight, and one that takes a look at "odd patents"--through Shakespeare's eyes. He's the lead author of NASA's free online tutorial, "Basics of Space Flight". He also teaches an annual class on "Basics of Interplanetary Flight" at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design. At the 2017 San Gabriel Valley Pride Festival, Dave talked about his background, his experiences at NASA, and what "arts people" can learn from NASA's scientific exploration. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: How Dave first became interested in space exploration; What an "average day" was like for him, as lead engineer on Cassini; Some of the most amazing findings from the Cassini spacecraft, during its 13 years of orbiting Saturn; Dave's "dream machine" he'd like to design, as a spacecraft engineer; What Dave and his team saw during the final days of the Cassini orbiter; What's next, for him; His advice to anyone else who might like to work for NASA; How Dave first began teaching his class at the Art Center; And, some of the mistakes which "arts people"--such as filmmakers--commonly make when depicting space flight!

Launched aboard a Titan IVB/Centaur on 15 October 1997, Cassini had been active in space for nearly 20 years, with 13 years spent orbiting Saturn, studying the planet and its system since entering orbit on 1 July 2004. The voyage to Saturn included flybys of Venus (April 1998 and June 1999), Earth (August 1999), the asteroid 2685 Masursky, and Jupiter (December 2000). Its mission ended on 15 September 2017, when Cassini flew into Saturn's upper atmosphere and burned up at a very high temperature, in order to prevent any risk of contaminating Saturn's moons, some of which have active environments that could potentially bear life. (At that point Cassini lacked sufficient power to leave the Saturn system so it could only be left in orbit where it might collide with a moon or be destroyed). The mission is widely perceived to have been successful beyond expectation. Cassini-Huygens has been described by NASA's Planetary Science Division Director as a "mission of firsts", that has revolutionized human understanding of the Saturn system, including its moons and rings, and our understanding of where life might be found in the Solar System. Cassini's original mission was planned to last for four years, from June 2004 to May 2008. The mission was extended for another two years until September 2010, branded the Cassini Equinox Mission. The mission was extended a second and final time with the Cassini Solstice Mission, lasting another seven years until 15 September 2017, on which date Cassini was de-orbited by being allowed to burn up in Saturn's upper atmosphere. The Huygens module traveled with Cassini until its separation from the probe on 25 December 2004; it was successfully landed by parachute on Titan on January 14, 2005. It successfully returned data to Earth for around 90 minutes, using the orbiter as a relay. This was the first landing ever accomplished in the outer Solar System and the first landing on a moon other than our own. Cassini continued to study the Saturn system in the following years. At the end of its mission, the Cassini spacecraft executed the "Grand Finale" of its mission: several risky passes through the gaps between Saturn and Saturn's inner rings. The purpose of this phase was to maximize Cassini's scientific outcome before the spacecraft was destroyed. The atmospheric entry of Cassini effectively ended the mission, although data analysis and production will continue afterwards.

The Cassini mission to Saturn launched 20 years ago, on October 15, 1997. It took seven years to reach Saturn, and has been orbiting and intensely studying Saturn ever since...until last week when the mission ended in a final dive into Saturn’s atmosphere. The mission studied Saturn, its famous rings, and its many moons using a suite of instruments that observed a broad range of wavelengths from ultraviolet, to visible, infrared, and radio as well as examining dust, charged particles, and magnetic fields. It also delivered the Huygens probe that descended through the atmosphere of Saturn's giant moon, Titan. In this edition of How on earth, we have two scientists from the Cassini mission team. Dr. Larry Esposito is a Professor at the Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences department at the University of Colorado at Boulder and member of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at CU. Dr. Carly Howett is a planetary scientist and manager at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder. They share with us some of the science from Cassini-Huygens and experiences working on such a long-term and successful space mission.

Per quasi vent'anni, la missione Cassini-Huygens della NASA, dell'ESA e dell'ASI ci ha mandato le più belle immagini mai giunte dallo spazio e ha risposto ai comandi mandati dalla terra senza mai un errore. Un capolavoro. Purtroppo però la missione sta per terminare, così come il carburante. Ancora ventuno "tuffi" nei buchi fra un anello e l'altro di Saturno, poi lo schianto al polo Nord. Nanni Bignami partecipa a quel viaggio da quando è stata concepita la Cassini, lo abbiamo chiamato per sapre cosa si aspetta dal "Gran Finale", come lo chiamano alla NASA. - Sono uscite tre super-pubblicazioni di scienziati italiani, non potevamo averli ospiti per questa puntata, li sentiremo presto, intanto vi proviamo a raccontare qualcosa. - News della settimana in chiusura.

The Cassini-Huygens mission has been monumental for science. For thirteen years the probe has gathered data on Saturn, revealing more about the gas giant than we have ever known before. But now, Cassini is running out of fuel. Adam Rutherford talks to Professor Michele Dougherty of Imperial College about the plans for Cassini's spectacular end, which will be to burn up in Saturn's atmosphere later this year. The descent begins this week and Cassini will collect exciting new data until the end. Next week, Theresa May will unveil her plans to kerb air pollution and it is believed that some diesel drivers could be paid up to £2,000 to trade in their vehicles. Diesel cars emit nitrogen oxides - a pollutant that has been linked to nearly 12,000 UK deaths in 2013. This is the second highest in Europe after Italy. However, this isn't the first scrappage scheme to be brought in. Philippa Oldham from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Adam discuss the merits and pitfalls of an initiative like this. Thousands of balloons are launched every day to measure temperature, pressure and humidity of the air. Kerri Nicoll from the University of Reading wants to add cheap, volcanic ash sensors to these balloons which are going up anyway. This could vastly improve the limited information we currently have on volcanic eruptions, allowing us to quickly see rises in ash particles and therefore improve ash cloud forecasting. Many of the world's volcanoes aren't monitored but a new technology from the University of Leeds should mean that scientists can keep track of all 1,500 them by the end of the year. The technology involves monitoring changes in ground deformation from satellites in space, which will give clues as to whether a volcano is about to erupt. For those living near unmonitored volcanoes, this could provide an early warning system and save their lives.
Cassini-Huygens ! La plus grosse mission d’exploration planétaire jamais envoyée dans le système solaire externe (c’est-à-dire, au-delà de Jupiter), arrivera en 2017 au terme de treize années d’opération autour des anneaux de Saturne. Partie, il y a presque 20 ans, le 15 octobre 1997, il aura fallu à la sonde pas moins de 7 ans pour gagner sa zone d’exploration.

Deep Space Missionen gehören zu den größten Herausforderungen der Raumfahrt, da hier stets Neuland betreten wird und die technischen und organisatorischen Anforderungen extrem sind. Reisen zu den Gasplaneten unseres Sonnensystems sind dabei besonders selten und durch die großen Distanzen zusätzlicher Nervenkitzel. Die Mission Cassini-Huygens zum Saturnsystem ist eine dieser besonderen Projekte gewesen, die wir in diesem Podcast ausführlich vorstellen möchten. Cassini-Huygens ist eine Kooperation zweier Raumfahrtagenturen: Cassini (NASA) reiste gemeinsam mit der Sonde Huygens (ESA) zum Saturnsystem und setzte letztere über dem Saturnmond Titan ab. Der Eintritt von Huygens in die dichte Atmosphäre des Titan ist damit auch der erste Kontakt mit einem Himmelskörper unseres Sonnensystem, der trotz grundlegender Unterschiede auch frappierende Ähnlichkeiten mit unserer Erde aufweist. Im Gespräch mit Tim Pritlove erläutert Michael Khan - Missionsanalytiker der ESA beim ESOC in Darmstadt - die Planung, Durchführung und Erkenntnisse dieser außergewöhnlichen Mission und berichtet von den zahlreichen Schwierigkeiten, die im Vorfeld und auch während des Fluges bewältigt werden mussten.
The landing of the Huygens probe in 2005 unveiled the surface of Saturn's mysterious largest moon for the first time in history. Six years on, the data from the mission and its Cassini mother craft has revealed it to be a fascinating world of methane lakes, rainstorms and cryo-volcanoes. This film brings us the latest news from the orangey world, including audacious plans for a return splashdown. Archive footage appears courtesy of Footagevault.

Several space missions of planetary exploration are currently underway, including Venus Express and Mars Express to our planetary neighbours and Cassini-Huygens to Saturn. In this talk, we will look at some of the results from these missions. Remarkably, these distant bodies can also tell us more about our own planet. Will the greenhouse effect run away here as it has at Venus, or might severe climate change happen as at Mars? Does Titan really show us what prebiotic Earth was like? We will also look at possible future space missions to these bodies.
The Voyager spacecraft that toured through the giant planets of the Solar System, Jupiter's Galileo orbiter and the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan have given us wonderful views of these most beautiful planets and...

Since Huygens' January 2005 descent to Titan's surface, scientists have gained a new understanding of the Saturn moon's complex, 1300-km-thick atmosphere. Some of the most intriguing data returned by the HASI, or Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument, point to the possible existence of an electrical resonance effect, called Schumann resonance, on Titan. If confirmed, this would be the first such electrical field resonance seen outside our own planet. The effect may help scientists confirm whether an ocean of liquid water mixed with ammonia lies beneath Titan's surface. This week, scientists will present their latest results at the 42nd Cassini-Huygens Project Science Group Meeting in Athens, Greece. ESAPod interview with Dr Fernando Simoes.ESApod audio programme
On the afternoon of 14 January 2005, the European Space Agency probe Huygens made a stunning descent through Titan's 1300-km-thick atmosphere. Titan, a moon of Saturn, was then some 1.4 thousand million km from the Earth. Obviously no human viewed the descent first-hand, yet reconstructing and modelling the precise wind-blown trajectory that Huygens took to reach the surface is crucial to correlating and synthesizing all data transmitted from Huygens' six instrument packages. This week, scientists from the Descent Trajectory Working Group will present their latest results at the 42nd Cassini-Huygens Project Science Group Meeting in Athens, Greece. ESAPod interview with Dr Bobby Kazeminejad.ESApod audio programme
On 14 January 2005, the European Space Agency probe Huygens made a spectacular touch-down on Saturn’s enigmatic moon titan, and an international team of scientists continues to analyse data radioed back during Huygens’s 2-1/-hour descent. This week, the 42nd Cassini-Huygens project science group meeting is being held in Athens, Greece. Scientists are expected to announce many new findings based on an in-depth analysis of Huygens data and on comparisons between Huygens data and results recently gathered by Cassini, which continues to explore the Saturn system and gather images of Titan. ESAPod speaks with Dr Jonathan Lunine, a Cassini interdisciplinary scientist at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, USA.ESApod audio programme
