Astronomers following asteroid activity in space estimate there is a very small chance an object large enough to destroy a whole city could strike Earth in 2032. 在太空估计中,遵循小行星活动的天文学家很少有一个足够大的物体摧毁整个城市,可以在2032年撞击地球。 But space agency officials say even if such an asteroid keeps heading on a path toward Earth, the world is now much better-equipped to defend itself against such a threat. 但是航天局官员说,即使这样的小行星不断前往地球的道路,现在,世界已经准备好捍卫自己的威胁。 The American space agency NASA recently estimated there was a 3.1 percent chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 would hit Earth on December 22, 2032. That is the highest probability predicted for such a large space rock in modern times. 美国航天局NASA最近估计,小行星2024年将在2032年12月22日袭击地球有3.1%的机会。这是现代如此大的太空岩石所预测的最高概率。 Richard Moissl is head of the European Space Agency's (ESA) planetary defense office. While recognizing the risk the asteroid could present, he told the French news agency AFP people should not panic over such predictions. 理查德·莫斯尔(Richard Moissl)是欧洲航天局(ESA)行星防御办公室的负责人。 他告诉法国新闻机构法新社,人们不应对这种预测感到恐慌。 Astronomers have noted that the more data they gather, the odds of a direct asteroid hit are expected to keep rising over time. However, scientists say at a certain point the odds will likely drop down to zero. 天文学家指出,他们收集的数据越多,直接小行星命中的几率预计会随着时间的流逝而不断上升。 但是,科学家说,在某个时刻,赔率可能会下降到零。 Moissl said he thinks it is important to remember that even in the unlikely event the probability keeps rising to 100 percent, the world is "not defenseless." 莫斯尔说,他认为重要的是要记住,即使在不太可能的情况下,概率不断上升到100%,世界“没有防御”。 Here are some methods currently being considered as defensive measures to keep humanity safe in case there is a real threat. 以下是当前的一些方法,以防人类安全,以防有真正的威胁。Only one planetary defense method has been tried against an asteroid. In 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) sent a spacecraft into the 160-meter-wide Dimorphos asteroid. The effort successfully changed the asteroid's orbit around a larger space rock. 仅尝试使用一种行星防御方法来针对小行星。 在2022年,NASA的双小行星重定向测试(DART)将航天器发送到160米宽的双层小行星中。 这项努力成功地改变了小行星围绕更大的空间岩石的轨道。 Bruce Betts is chief scientist for the nonprofit Planetary Society. He told AFP that space agencies could hit the 2024 YR4 asteroid with several spacecrafts, observing how each one changed the path. 布鲁斯·贝茨(Bruce Betts)是非营利行星社会的首席科学家。 他告诉法新社,太空机构可以用几个航天器击中2024年小行星,观察每个人如何改变路径。 The asteroid discovered in December is estimated to be 40-90 meters wide -- about half the size of Dimorphos.据估计,这颗小行星在 12 月发现时有 40-90 米宽,大约是 Dimorphos 大小的一半。"You have to take care not to overdo it," Moissl warned. He said this is because if a spacecraft only partly destroys an asteroid, it could send smaller pieces of the space rock heading toward Earth. “你必须小心不要过度,”莫伊斯尔警告说。他说,这是因为如果航天器只部分摧毁了一颗小行星,它可能会将较小的太空岩石碎片送向地球。A separate idea would involve sending a large spacecraft to fly alongside a threatening asteroid. The spacecraft would not touch the asteroid, but would use its gravitational force to pull it away from Earth. 一个单独的想法将涉及将大型航天器与威胁性的小行星一起飞行。 航天器不会接触小行星,而是利用其引力将其从地球上拉开。 Moissl said another non-contact plan would put a spacecraft near the asteroid to eject a continuous flow of atoms to push the asteroid off course.莫斯尔说,另一个非接触计划将使小行星附近的航天器在小行星附近弹出,以驱散原子的连续流,以将小行星脱离路线。 Scientists have also considered painting one side of the asteroid white. They believe this could increase the light the object reflects to make it slowly change course. 科学家还考虑绘画小行星白色的一侧。 他们认为这可能会增加物体反射的光,以使其缓慢改变路线。One idea is to use a nuclear weapon against a threatening asteroid. In laboratory tests, researchers found that X-rays from a nuclear blast could move a rock. But this is considered more of a plan for kilometers-wide asteroids like the one that killed off the dinosaurs. And this method also carries the risk that a nuclear explosion could send additional pieces of the asteroid falling toward Earth. 一个想法是使用核武器来防止威胁性的小行星。 在实验室测试中,研究人员发现,来自核爆炸的X射线可能会移动岩石。 但这被认为是宽公里的小行星的计划,例如杀死恐龙的小行星。 而且该方法还具有核爆炸可能会使小行星落入地球的其他部分的风险。 A similar method – but one considered less dangerous – would involve shooting laser beams from a spacecraft to destroy the side of an asteroid in an effort to push it away from Earth. 一种类似的方法(但被认为危险的较小)将涉及从航天器射击激光束以摧毁小行星的一侧,以便将其远离地球。Moissl said that if all else fails, at least the world will have a good idea where a threatening asteroid would strike. Since astronomers believe most asteroids would at most threaten to destroy one city, efforts could be organized to get people out of an area before a strike. 莫斯尔说,如果其他所有问题都失败了,至少世界将在威胁性小行星袭击的地方有一个好主意。 由于天文学家认为大多数小行星最多都会威胁要摧毁一个城市,因此可以组织努力使人们在罢工之前离开该地区。 "Seven-and-a-half years is a long time to prepare," Moissl added. He also noted that even with the rising odds involving 2024 YR4, there is still about a 97 percent chance the asteroid will miss Earth. Moissl补充说:“七年半的准备时间是很长的时间。” 他还指出,即使涉及2024年的赔率上升,小行星仍有大约97%的机会错过地球。

Il 26 settembre 2022 la sonda Dart lanciata verso l’asterode Dimorphos gli si scaraventò contro nella prima dimostrazione pratica di difesa planetaria. L’idea di base è semplice: nel malaugurato caso che uno di questi oggetti possa puntare sulla Terra, si tratta di deviarne la traiettoria con un impatto. Tuttavia, nella pratica non si tratta solo di colpire un corpo che sfreccia ad altissima velocità, ma anche di prenderlo col giusto angolo, considerando inoltre che esistono asteroidi con “consistenze” che impongono strategie di impatto diversificate. L’esperimento DART ci ha insegnato molto da questo punto di vista e sembra suggerire che la strategia migliore sia quella di colpire il bersaglio non con un solo forte impatto, ma con tanti impatti, seppure di entità più llieve. Ne parliamo con Fabio Ferrari, professore del Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Aerospaziali del Politecnico di Milano.

In September 2022, a small spacecraft called DART hit the surface of a tiny asteroid moonlet called Dimorphos. That spacecraft was the first test of a planetary defense system, attempting to change an asteroid's orbit in the hope of being able to do so under a real near-Earth threat. The test succeeded, shortening the moonlet's orbit by 32 minutes. Now, a follow-up mission called Hera is on its way to the system, complete with an orbiter and a lander. The European Space Agency plans to observe the impact site and measure any changes to the shape and any craters left behind. Join communications specialist Beth Johnson as she chats with Hera's principal investigator, Patrick Michel, from the Université Côte d'Azur about the mission, the science, and the technology being tested.

Lanciata con successo da Cape Canaveral la prima missione dell'Agenzia Spaziale Europea per la difesa planetaria. È stata denominata HERA e ha l'obiettivo di raggiungere nel 2026 il sistema di asteroidi binari noto come Didymos. Questo sistema infatti è costituito dal corpo principale Didymos e dalla sua piccola "luna" Dimorphos. Nel 2022 questo satellite è stato il primo oggetto del Sistema Solare a subire un cambiamento della sua orbita causato da un'attività umana. L'impatto della sonda Dart della Nasa su Dimorphos ha causato uno spostamento orbitale e un completo rimodellato dell'intero asteroide. Durante la missione HERA si analizzeranno tutti questi elementi di cambiamento perché potrebbe rivelarsi fondamentale essere in grado di variare la traiettoria di un asteroide qualora questo corpo roccioso fosse in rotta di collisione con la Terra. La difesa planetaria è uno degli scopi principali di tutte le agenzie spaziali. Chiara Albicocco, nostra inviata al Kennedy Space Center di Cape Canaveral, ha raccolto le voci dei protagonisti di questa missione così importante.

Negli ultimi cento anni sono stati registrati circa 10 impatti di asteroidi di dimensioni fortunatamente non così elevate da provocare un'estinzione, ma abbastanza grandi da causare ingenti danni a persone e infrastrutture. Con le moderne tecniche di osservazione e monitoraggio, inoltre, riteniamo di conoscere quasi tutti i corpi celesti più grandi di un chilometro che potrebbero mettere a repentaglio l'esistenza stessa della civiltà umana. Questo tuttavia non preclude la possibilità di poter individuare in futuro un corpo spaziale che potrebbe entrare in rotta di collisione con la Terra. Oltre ad osservare il più possibile il cosmo è quindi fondamentale iniziare ad escogitare metodi altamente tecnologici in grado di interferire con la traiettoria di questi corpi.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo del Nobel per la fisica conferito agli inventori dell'intelligenza artificiale, di Tesla che ha presentato i Cybercab per il futuro dei taxi a guida autonoma e infine di Ryanair che vuole eliminare completamente il check-in fisico in aeroporto.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione00:56 - Il Nobel per la fisica agli inventori dell'IA (IlPost.it, Luca Martinelli)02:12 - Tesla presenta il Cybercab per il futuro dei taxi (TheVerge.com, Davide Fasoli)03:35 - La transizione full digitale di Ryanair (DDay.it, Matteo Gallo)05:11 - Come nasce un programma spaziale di difesa planetaria (Matteo Gallo)15:21 - Conclusione--Contatti--• www.dentrolatecnologia.it• Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia)• Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia)• YouTube (@dentrolatecnologia)• redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it--Brani--• Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft• Redemption by Max Brhon

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 121*A New Planet Discovered Orbiting Barnard's StarAstronomers have discovered a new exoplanet orbiting Barnard's Star, the closest single star to the Sun. This newly found planet, Barnard b, has about half the mass of Earth and completes an orbit around its host star every three Earth days. Located 5.96 light-years away, Barnard's Star is a small red dwarf in the constellation Ophiuchus. The discovery was made using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope and has sparked interest due to its low mass and proximity to its star. The study also hints at the existence of three more potential exoplanets in the system, although additional observations are needed for confirmation.*ESA's Hera Mission LaunchThe European Space Agency's Hera mission is set to launch, aimed at exploring the aftermath of NASA's DART mission impact on the asteroid Dimorphos. The mission will provide detailed analysis of the impact site and the asteroid's composition, mass, and structural changes. Hera will also deploy two cubesats, Milani and Juventus, to perform close-up observations and experiments. The mission is crucial for understanding how to protect Earth from potential asteroid threats in the future.*Spectacular Annular Solar EclipseA stunning annular solar eclipse, known as a "ring of fire," has been witnessed by people across the eastern and southern Pacific, as well as parts of South America. The eclipse, which occurs when the Moon is slightly further from Earth, left a bright ring of sunlight visible around the Moon's silhouette.

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E173Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your ultimate source for the latest in space and Astronomy news. I'm Anna, your host, and today we have an episode brimming with exciting updates from rocket launches to planetary exploration and cosmic mysteries.Highlights:- SpaceX Falcon 9's Return to Flight: The Federal Aviation Administration has authorized SpaceX to resume Falcon 9 flights following a previous malfunction. This clearance is timely for ESA's HERa mission, launching today, October 7, to study the impact of NASA's DaRt spacecraft on asteroid Dimorphos. This marks a significant step in international space collaboration.- Europa Clipper Mission Delay: NASA's $5 billion Europa Clipper mission faces a delay due to Hurricane Milton. Originally set for October 10, the launch is postponed with a window extending through November 6. Safety concerns have taken precedence, but the mission team is actively working on securing the spacecraft and reassessing launch options.- Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Advancements: Researchers are developing nuclear thermal propulsion technology that could halve travel time to Mars. By utilizing nuclear fission, this propulsion system promises more efficient space travel, potentially revolutionizing future crewed missions to the red planet.- BEPI Colombo's Mercury Philip: The Bepicolombo spacecraft's recent flyby of Mercury has provided new insights into the planet's magnetic field and plasma environment. These observations are paving the way for more detailed studies when Bepicolombo enters Mercury's orbit in 2026.- Origin of Sagittarius A: A new study suggests that the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, formed from a merger with another black hole around 9 billion years ago. This discovery sheds light on its rapid spin and misalignment with the Milky Way's angular momentum.- Concerns Over China's Qianfan Satellites: The brightness of China's Qianfan broadband constellation satellites is raising alarms among astronomers, potentially interfering with night sky observations. The astronomical community is calling for immediate action to address this issue as China plans to launch thousands more.For more space news, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Two years ago, a NASA spacecraft gave a small asteroid a big whack. And two years from now, a European craft will study the aftermath of that impact. It should reveal how the asteroid has changed, and why the impact was so effective. The impact took place in September of 2022. A projectile as big as a van slammed into Dimorphos, the smaller member of a binary asteroid. It’s about 500 feet across, compared to half a mile for the larger member, Didymos. The original mission was a test of a way to deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. And the test worked – it changed the smaller asteroid’s orbit by much more than expected. But to fully evaluate the results, scientists need to know more about the asteroid, and about what happened to it after the test. And that’s the job for Hera, the European mission. It’ll study the asteroid’s composition, and see how the impact changed its shape. Early studies of the impact say Dimorphos is a “rubble pile” – chunks of rock barely held together by gravity. It could have formed when material spun off the surface of Didymos, then stuck together. Hera is scheduled for launch this month. It’ll fly close to Mars in March, using the planet’s gravity to get a “kick” toward its target. Hera should enter orbit around the asteroids in two years. And it will deploy two small sub-satellites – one to study each member of the binary asteroid. Script by Damond Benningfield

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: 2nd September 2024Welcome to another episode of Astronomy Daily from Downunder. It's Steve here, bringing you the latest space and astronomy news on this second day of spring and September 2024. We've got a mixed bag of stories for you this week, from China's high-resolution map of Mars to SpaceX's Falcon 9 mishap, and much more. Let's dive right in!Highlights:- SpaceX Falcon 9 Mishap: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has cleared SpaceX to restart its Falcon 9 launches following an investigation into a rare mishap during a first stage booster landing. The booster tipped over and exploded while attempting to land on a droneship off the Florida coast. Despite the mishap, the mission successfully delivered 21 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit. This incident ended a streak of over three years of successful booster landings.- NASA's Solar Sail Deployment: NASA's advanced composite solar sail system has successfully deployed in space. Launched on Rocket Lab's Electron vehicle, the solar sail reached full deployment on August 29. This innovative technology uses sunlight to guide its path through space and will be tested for maneuverability in the coming weeks. The data gathered will help design future solar sail missions for space weather monitoring, asteroid reconnaissance, and more.- Europa Clipper's Solar Arrays: NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has been fitted with gigantic solar arrays at the Kennedy Space Center. These arrays, each measuring 14.2 meters in length, are the largest ever developed by NASA for a planetary mission. They will help power the spacecraft as it investigates Jupiter's icy moon Europa, aiming to determine if its subsurface ocean could support life. The spacecraft is scheduled to launch on October 10 and will arrive at Jupiter in 2030.- China's High-Resolution Mars Map: China's Tianwen-1 mission has created the first high-resolution global color map of Mars. Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this map has a spatial resolution greater than 1 km and could support future crewed missions to Mars. The map was created using countless remote sensing images acquired by the Tianwen-1 orbiter.- Boeing's Starliner Return: NASA has announced that Boeing's Starliner capsule will depart the International Space Station no earlier than September 6. The capsule, which has faced multiple delays and technical issues, will return to Earth uncrewed. Astronauts Sonny Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were originally scheduled to return on Starliner, will now come back aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule in February next year.- DART Mission Debris: Debris from NASA's DART mission, which tested a kinetic impact to nudge an asteroid, could potentially reach Earth and Mars. While it's unlikely we'll see a meteor shower on Earth, the debris could result in meteors on Mars. The DART mission successfully shortened the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos around its parent asteroid Didymos.For more space news, be sure to visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

ProMED is one of the most useful scientific tools you've never heard of. It's a global surveillance system of infectious disease outbreaks which is available, for free, to researchers and the public alike. But ISID, the society which runs the platform, claim they have run out of money to support ProMED and will be switching to a subscription service, against the wishes of both users and staff. ProMED editor Marjorie Pollak tells Science in Action about the vital service ProMED has played in pandemic monitoring – including the very first COVID outbreaks - and ISID boss Linda MacKinnon considers what's next for the platform. From wildfires in Europe to droughts in Africa, we have covered every kind of environmental disaster across most of the globe in the space of the past few weeks. To complete the distressing bucket list of climate extremes, we're talking to sea ice expert Caroline Holmes on the concerning forecast for Antarctica. Despite these terrestrial challenges, NASA is still trying to defend Earth against nearby objects which might hit us from space. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was launched at the asteroid Dimorphos back in in November 2021 and, a few weeks ago, the Hubble space telescope observed a swarm of boulders shed by Dimorphos post-impact. Some UK newspapers are concerned about their trajectory, but astronomer Dave Jewitt is here to calm us all down.

00:47 How a racing heart could trigger anxietyAnxiety can make the heart beat faster, but could the reverse be true as well? That question has been much debated, but hard to test. Now, a team has shown that artificially increasing a mouse's heart rate can induce anxiety-like behaviours, and identified an area in the brain that appears to be a key mediator of this response. They hope that this knowledge could help to improve therapies for treating anxiety-related conditions in the future.Research article: Hsueh et al.News & Views: How an anxious heart talks to the brain08:32 Research HighlightsThe chance discovery of the smallest rock seen so far in the Solar System, and the first brain recording from a freely swimming octopus.Research Highlight: Asteroid photobombs JWST practice shotsResearch Highlight: How to measure the brain of an octopus10:57 How NASA's DART mission beat expectiationsIn September 2022, NASA's DART spacecraft smashed into a space rock known as Dimorphos, which orbits a near-Earth asteroid. The aim of the mission was to test whether asteroids could be redirected as a method to protect Earth against future impacts. This week, multiple papers have been published describing what researchers have learnt about the impact and its aftermath.

After Hurricane Ian, Robots To The Rescue Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwest Florida Wednesday, with winds over 150 miles per hour, high storm surge and heavy rains. As the storm, now weaker, is projected to move northward, search and rescue operations are setting out to assess the damage – with help from robots, both flying and swimming. Producer Christie Taylor talks with David Merrick, who is leading the emergency management team responsible for flying drones over areas hit by disasters like Ian, about what it takes to use robots in these contexts and how they help speed up response and recovery efforts.   Vague Medical Marijuana Rules Leave Workers and Employers in the Dark Vague legal safeguards for medical marijuana users in Pennsylvania are forcing patients to choose between their job and a drug they say has changed their life, and leaving skittish employers vulnerable to lawsuits, according to a three-month Spotlight PA investigation. While state law protects workers from being fired or denied a job just for having a doctor's permission to use marijuana, those protections become opaque when people actually take the drug — regardless of whether they do it in their personal time. “It essentially makes no sense,” Pittsburgh attorney John McCreary Jr., who represents employers, told Spotlight PA. Some jobs are specifically regulated by state and federal drug testing rules, but most fall into a gray area that leaves the interpretation of the rules up to employers and the courts. That leads to inconsistency and what employers see as a lose-lose scenario: Either risk a wrongful termination suit, or potentially allow an unsafe work environment.

The mission, known as DART (for ‘Double Asteroid Redirection Test') was an effort to try out a potential means of planetary defense. NASA wanted to discover: Is it possible to change the path of an approaching asteroid by slamming something into it? On Monday evening, the DART spacecraft slammed into the small asteroid moonlet Dimorphos, which orbits a slightly larger asteroid called Didymos. Pictures taken from onboard the spacecraft showed the rocky, rubbly terrain of Dimorphos approaching closer and closer, then disappearing, while telescopes observing the impact and cameras on a neighboring Italian Space Agency CubeSat showed a plume of debris ejected from the asteroid. Dr. Nancy Chabot, the DART coordination lead and a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, which built the spacecraft and is managing the mission for NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office, joins host John Dankosky. They talk about the impact, and what scientists hope to learn about asteroids and planetary defense from the crash.   High-Flying Trick-Or-Treat Delivers Rabies Vaccines For Raccoons Rabies is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. It's fatal in 99% of cases. Because of that, rabies prevention has been one of the most important—and successful—public health initiatives in the US. To contain rabies outbreaks, the USDA leads a mass vaccination effort from August to October to keep the disease from being carried by critters. It's an action-packed adventure involving raccoons, helicopters, and fish-flavored candy. SciFri's director of news and audio, John Dankosky, speaks with Jordona Kirby, the rabies field coordinator for the USDA's National Rabies Management Program. She's based in Milton, Florida.   Can Lanternflies' Excretions Be Used To Quell Their Spread? As the invasive spotted lanternfly continues to spread west in the United States, researchers are trying to better understand—and perhaps find a way to control —the behavior of the pretty, but ravenous, insects. Important agricultural crops, including grapes, peaches, and apples are especially at risk from the spreading infestation. As the lanternflies feed on tree sap, they excrete a sweet-smelling liquid known as honeydew. That liquid can attract other insects, and can also allow fungus to grow on affected trees. Writing in the journal Frontiers In Insect Science this week, researchers from the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service report that chemicals in the honeydew may act as a signaling agent among the lanternflies—in some cases attracting others of the species. The finding may help explain the way in which the insects can infest a given tree in huge numbers, while leaving neighboring trees largely alone. John Dankosky talks with the paper's lead author, Dr. Miriam Cooperband of USDA APHIS, about her research, and whether the finding may lead to a way to bait or repel the invasive insects.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
