Dr. Morgan Cable is a research scientist at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. Her mission is to help answer one of humanity's biggest questions: are we alone in the universe?In this episode, we explore how NASA uses national parks as analog sites to study the landscapes of other worlds. Dr. Cable explains how these environments provide testing grounds for new technologies designed to operate on different terrains and in alien atmospheres.Named to the American Chemical Society's “Talented 12” in 2018, Dr. Cable has contributed to some of NASA's most exciting missions, including Cassini-Huygens, the Mars Perseverance Rover, Europa Clipper, and the Dragonfly mission to Titan.Our conversation also dives into the mysteries of the ocean worlds Europa and Enceladus—their habitability, potential for life, and why they captivate planetary scientists. And beyond her work, we talk about Morgan's adventurous hobbies, from surfing to mountain unicycling.It was an honor to host Dr. Morgan Cable on the podcast. Her passion, expertise, and energy are truly inspiring, and her contributions to planetary science are nothing short of remarkable.______________Follow us on social!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/safetravelspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@safetravelspodYouTube: youtube.com/@safetravelspodSafetravelspod.com

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.

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.  Cassini links:  Overview of the Cassini-Huygens mission (Matson et al., 2002),  Overview of Huygens landing on Titan (Owen, 2005),  Saturn's icy moons before and after Cassini (Dougherty & Spilker, 2018),  Overview of Cassini-Huygens results (Spilker, 2019), More detailed review of Saturn findings (Ingersoll, 2020).

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.

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.

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.  She has worked on the Voyager program, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, the New Horizons space probe and the Rosetta mission.  She was awarded the NASA exceptional achievement medal for her contributions to the Cassini mission. In 2014 she was elected Chair of the Division of Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society. She is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union.

Over Coffee® | Stories and Resources from the Intersection of Art and Science | Exploring How to Make STEAM Work For You

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!
