Apesar de bem dizer ainda não termos saído da vizinhanças da Terra, a tecnologia já proporcionou muitas viagens pelo sistema solar, incluindo o primeiro contato com o pouso do homem um cometa, onde foi possível conhecer seus desfiladeiros e penhascos e sua "atmosfera", como se estivéssemos lá pessoalmente, o cometa em questão é o Churyumov–Gerasimenko, que depois de muita luta recebeu a sonda Rosetta e a Philae, e não pelas mãos da NASA, mas sim pelas mãos da agência espacial europeia, mais conhecida como ESA.

Folge 24 der Mandelbrot Talks - heute mit Carsten Güttler. Wer hat den Namen erkannt? 67P ist die Kurzbezeichnung für den Kometen Churyumov-Gerasimenko aus der Jupiter-Familie. Zunächst einmal aber stellen wir unseren Interviewpartner Carsten Güttler vor, der in Braucnschweig Physik studiert hat und nach seiner Promotion zum Thema Planetenentstehung nach Japan ging und nun am Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung in Göttingen forscht. Bei der Rosetta Mission hat er an der OSIRIS Kamera mit gearbeitet, welche zusammen mit 10 anderen Instrumenten und dem Lander Philae 2004 in Richtung "Chuy", wie Churyumov-Gerasimenko liebevoll genannt wird, aufgebrochen ist. Wir sprechen über Probleme mit der technik, z-B- wurch circa 20% der Bilder, die Rosetta aufgenommen hat, mit einem kaputten Shutter gemacht. Wie man solche Probleme Milionen von Kilometer entfernt löst, erklärt uns Carstem im Interview. Außerdem sprechen wir über die Bedeutung von Objekten im Kuipergürtel für die Erforschung der Anfänge unseres Planeten und wie überhaupt Wasser hierher kam. Zum Schluss sprechen wir über kommende Projekte, unter anderem über ein Projekt zur "Planetary Protection", also wie die Menschheit Asteroiden, die auf Kollisionskurs mit der Ersde sind, abwehren kann. Viel Spaß beim Hören!
La missione Rosetta ha finalmente un archivio fotografico completo che racchiude tutti i momenti clou del suo incredibile viaggio alla scoperta della cometa Churyumov-Gerasimenko
"Astronomía para Principiantes" es una sección mensual de 10 minutos en la que la periodista Rocío Otoya (SBS) y yo charlamos sobre un tema de Astronomía de actualidad en Radio SBS en español, FM 97.7, Australia. Este octavo episodio se emitió el domingo 30 de octubre de 2016 y lo dedicamos a hablar sobre los cometas y en particular sobre la misión Rosetta de la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) al cometa P/67 Churyumov-Gerasimenko (o "Chury" para los amigos). Más información en la web de SBS: http://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/spanish/es/content/rosetta-murio-heroicamente-para-revelar-los-secretos-del-cometa-churi?language=es y en mi blog: http://angelrls.blogalia.com/historias/76618
Let's traverse the cosmos to check in on our oft-mentioned composer of all things 'space', the one and only Vangelis. Although marrying electronic music to space-oriented themes is fairly intuitive, Vangelis, who cornered the market on it, also happens to have a penchant for paying homage to specific space missions. This time around, that homage is Rosetta, the musical play-by-play of the eponymous ESA probe's voyage to Churyumov–Gerasimenko [comet 67P]. From the origins of the comet to Rosetta's decade-long journey, to its dramatic end-of-mission impact---and let's not forget about our brave little lander Philae---Vangelis has more than enough fodder for some juicy composition, as do we for some juicy discussion! Oh and our topic, you ask? Totally unrelated… SPACE. Continue reading
Les comètes sont connues pour être des corps composés d'un mélange de glace et de poussière. Donc si elles sont compactes elles devraient avoir une densité plus grande que celle de l'eau, plus grande que 1. Mais des mesures antérieures ont déjà montré que la densité des comètes était bien plus faible que la densité de l'eau. Ces données indiquent que les comètes devraient être très poreuses.
The Discussion: Coming live from The AstroCamp in the Brecon Beacons international dark sky reserve, we talk about the benefits of getting out to truly dark skies and observing with people who have a range of astronomy skills. The News: We welcome astrophysicist Jeni Millard to discuss this month’s astronomy news. And after rebuking NASA last month for the paucity of New Horizons data releases, we’re more content this month and bring you the latest from the Pluto flyby. We take a look at the European Space Agency’s latest video from Philae as it descended to the surface of comet Churyumov Gerasimenko. And we bring you more news about the increasingly habitable conditions on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. The Interview: This month we wrap the whole show around our interview with Skylab 3 and STS-3 astronaut, Jack Lousma. Jack tells us about taking that ominous call during Apollo 13 ‘Houston, we’ve had a problem’; how they solved each life-threatening issue in sequence to get the astronauts back alive; missing out on flying Apollo 20 to the moon; and taking one of the first space shuttles out for a test drive. Q&A: Listeners’ questions via email, Facebook & Twitter take us on a journey into the astronomy issues that have always plagued our understanding or stretched our credulity. This month Ralph & Paul take a walk around AstroCamp to let listeners give their top tips for taking their first steps in practical amateur astronomy.
Professor Chris Lintott, Professor of Astrophysics, University of Oxford and presenter of the BBC’s Sky at Night will talk about the history and the science of the voyage. Professor Ian Goldin, Director, Oxford Martin School and Chris will discuss the implications and politics of Europe’s mission to study a comet that is three hundred million miles away. On 12th November 2014, after a 10 year journey, the Rosetta spacecraft's lander Philae touched down on the surface of the comet 67P, also known as Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The robotic European Space Agency lander not only took images from the comet’s surface, the first images in history, but obtained data that was sent back to be analysed. This data will be used to determine the composition of the surface of the comet. But what does this mean? And what implications does it have?

No es concebible una civilización tecnológica sin unas manos hábiles y versátiles. ¿Cuándo comenzaron a evolucionar las manos de los homínidos hacia la morfología humana actual? Un grupo de investigadores analiza las características anatómicas de las manos de fósiles de Australopithecus africanus y otros homínidos. En segundo lugar hablamos de las últimas investigaciones sobre los datos recogidos por la sonda espacial Rosetta en su viaje alrededor del Sol junto al cometa 67p/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Un conjunto de artículos publicados en Science nos cuenta nuevos descubrimientos. Terminamos las noticas de esta semana con un descubrimiento sobre un gen que durante décadas se creía pertenecía a la categoría de los oncogenes, es decir, de los genes que promueven el crecimiento tumoral. En realidad es todo lo contrario, dicho gen pertenece a la categoría de los supresores de tumores, es decir, de los que frenan el crecimiento tumoral ¿Cómo fue posible tal equivocación?
Ne vous y trompez pas, ce n'est pas un instrument de Philae qui vient de déterminer la composition isotopique de l'eau de la comèteChuryumov-Gerasimenko, mais un instrument d'analyse embarqué sur Rosetta la sonde principale qui tourne toujours autour de la comète. Cet instrument est un spectromètre de masse appelé ROSINA-DFMS (Rosetta Orbiter Sensor for Ion and Neutral Analysis, Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer).
The Discussion: The historical landing of the Philae probe on Comet 67P, lunar imaging and astronomy outreach in the UK. The News: In the news we relive the events around the comet landing and the latest science findings from Churyumov Gerasimenko, the upcoming first test flight of America’s new manned space capsule Orion and the tragic accident aboard Virgin Galactic’s Spaceship Two, resulting in the death of one of the crewmembers The 5 Minute Concept: Fresh on the heels of the European Space Agency’s latest successful mission, Paul turns his attentions this months to the beacon of knowledge, space exploration and engineering that rose from the ashes of Europe’s darkest days: ESA. The Interview: Ralph speaks with NASA’s Orion Project Manager, Paul Marshall, about the upcoming test flight and the future of manned American space exploration. Q&A: Listeners’ questions via email, Facebook & Twitter take us on a journey into the astronomy issues that have always plagued our understanding or stretched our credulity. This month Ralph & Paul answer: How far away is Voyager from the Oort Cloud and how many years will it be before it gets there? Lee Garner via Twitter. I'm bored of reading sniffy comments about the cost of Rosetta. Can u do a piece next podcast about the benefits vs low budget?Alex Speed via Twitter.
Philae, vous allez souvent entendre ce nom dans les semaines qui viennent, avec un paroxysme le 12 novembre, date à laquelle cette petite sonde atterrira sur la comète Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Philae est le petit atterrisseur que la sonde Rosetta va envoyer à la surface de la comète au nom imprononçable, autour de laquelle elle s'est mise en orbite à plus de 1 milliard de kilomètres de la Terre...
Dinosaur A jumble of bones found in Venezuela belong to a group of very early dinosaurs, that could have been herd animals. Paul Barrett from the Natural History Museum explains to Professor Alice Roberts how a jumble of bones found in a 'bone bed' belong to a number of individual Laquintasaura venezuelae dinosaurs. They are an ancient, small, omnivorous dinosaur, which could have survived the Tertiary/Jurassic extinction event 200 million years ago. Genetically Editing Chickens Diseases devastate livestock around the world. In chickens for example the deadly strain of bird flu and the lesser known bacterial infection Campylobacter, does not only harm the chickens but is also a real threat to human health and welfare. Scientists are continually trying to develop vaccines, but the strains of bacteria keep evolving resistance to them. One of the solutions being explored at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, is genetic. Using a subtle form of genetic modification, called genome editing. The team are trying to find the genetic components of natural resistance in a wide group of chicken breeds, which they can then insert into the genome of livestock fowl in the hope of breeding healthier, safer chickens. Lightning A listener asks why lightning is jagged. Rhys Phillips from Airbus Group in Cardiff makes lightning in a lab. He has the answer. Rosetta The European Space Agency's robotic spacecraft Rosetta has reached the orbit of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, and is about to start its detailed study. In the audacious and risky mission, the craft will follow the orbit of the comet as it approaches and passes the Sun. It will attempt to land a probe on the surface of the icy, rocky mass. It's hoped the mission will provide great insight into what comets are made of, how they behave as they heat up, creating its gassy coma and tail. And it's hoped Rosetta and its lander will be able to tell about where Earth's water and even some of the building blocks for life might have come from. Diatoms A type of phytoplankton, found in water, called Diatoms build hard silicon-based cell walls. Researchers, at the University of Galway, have shown it's possible to chemically transform the shells of living diatoms so they could carry drugs into our bodies in entirely new ways. Producer: Fiona Roberts.
The Discussion: Enjoying the delights of July’s skies, writing articles for Astronomy magazine, STEM education and Paul becomes a European Space Agency ambassador. The News: In the news we have the Rosetta spacecraft’s approach to the almost unpronounceable comet Churyumov Gerasimenko – revealed to be a binary comet, and the Very Large Telscope in Chile takes a 2.5 year study of a supernova to crack the riddle of how dust is created and survives the extreme temperatures of its birth. The 5 Minute Concept: In this month’s 5MC, Paul looks at the summer phenomenon of noctilucent clouds and asks ‘why is there no record of them before 1885’? The Interview: We welcome back the General Secretary of the International Astronomical Union, Professor Thierry Montmerle to tells us about the International Year of Light, the IAU’s new look communications strategy and their new project to allow the public to name exoplanets and their host stars. Q&A: Listeners’ questions via email, Facebook & Twitter take us on a journey into the astronomy issues that have always plagued our understanding or stretched our credulity. This month Ralph & Paul answer: Oolaaa Martian overlords. Where in your opinions does the solar system truly end. Thanks, your faithful servant Lee? Lee Garner from Norwich, UK. What’s a Vampire Star? @TweetsByLou via Twitter And we finish with the winners of last month’s competition to win three DVD copies of the new film Gagarin – First in Space, and a copy of the book Yuri Gagarin – The First Spaceman.
ExpeRimental There's an online wealth of science demonstrations you can try at home with your kids. But what's sometimes lacking is the encouragement of questioning the science in these DIY experiments. Science teacher and film maker Alom Shaha has devised a series of videos with the Royal Institution showing parents experimenting with home-made lava lamps, bubbles and bottle cannons. He hopes that amidst the mess and mistakes, some scientific thinking can be nurtured.

MOOCs Massive Open Online Courses are free and open to anyone with access to the internet. You can study a huge range of topics from cancer and dental photography to quantum physics, and even the archaeology and history of Hadrian's Wall. Critics say these higher education courses are just a PR exercise by universities, and that it will set up a two tier system in education. But Kathryn Skelton from FutureLearn, a platform for many of these MOOCs, argues that they encourage people who would not normally extend their education to take part and the universities providing the courses can gain great insight into the changing face of teaching methods. Evolutionary Psychology Last week Adam Rutherford and Alice Roberts had a robust discussion on the biologising of the human condition, with Professor David Canter. Listeners wrote in to complain that we didn't give an evolutionary psychologist a right to reply, so this week, listener and evolutionary psychologist Rob Burriss has his say. Producer: Fiona Roberts.
