HOW ARE MARINE ROBOTS SHAPING OUR FUTURE? inventor James Bellingham draws on decades of expeditions from the Arctic to the Antarctic to reveal how autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are changing how humans explore and work in the ocean. These robots endure crushing pressures, freezing waters, and total darkness—collecting data vital for climate science, offshore energy, aquaculture, archaeology, and more. And the story doesn't end on Earth. Many of the same technologies being perfected in our seas will one day explore ocean worlds beyond our planet—including Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus—places where liquid water lies beneath thick ice and where conditions may be right for extraterrestrial life. Finding life in these alien oceans would be one of the most profound discoveries in human history, changing how we see ourselves in the universe. From enduring fierce storms off Antarctica to developing robots that “think” and navigate on their own, Bellingham shares the inside story of working at the intersection of:Scientific discovery—expanding our knowledge of oceans on Earth and beyondCutting-edge technology—designing self-reliant machines for extreme environmentsSocietal choice—balancing the benefits of ocean technology with environmental, ethical, and economic considerationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Join communications specialist Beth Johnson for a conversation with Dr. Anastasia Yanchilina, Frank Drake Postdoctoral Fellow at the SETI Institute, as we explore how life might emerge and/or be mistaken for in environments beyond Earth. Dr. Yanchilla studies abiotic mineral structures, or “chemical gardens,” that resemble biological life but form entirely through non-living processes. By recreating these systems under conditions similar to hydrothermal vents on ocean worlds such as Enceladus and Mars, she investigates how to distinguish between life and non-life, and what this means for the origin of life on Earth. We'll discuss how minerals, organics, and even UV light interact in these experiments, and how this research helps us refine the search for biosignatures across the solar system.

NASA's Assertive Stance in the Moon Race: Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy has taken a strong position against claims that NASA is falling behind China in the race to the Moon. With ambitious timelines set for Artemis 2 in February 2026 and Artemis 3 in 2027, Duffy emphasizes the need for a cultural shift at NASA towards action and urgency reminiscent of the Apollo era. The conversation around lunar exploration is heating up, reflecting a new era of global competition and cooperation in space.Breakthrough in Black Hole Physics: Scientists have made a groundbreaking measurement of the "kick" a newborn black hole receives after merging with another black hole. This phenomenon, termed black hole recoil, shows that the new black hole can move at speeds of up to 112,000 miles per hour. This discovery, marking a decade since the first detection of gravitational waves, opens up new avenues for understanding black hole behavior and the dynamics of the universe.New Insights on Enceladus' Organic Molecules: Recent research suggests that organic compounds found in the plumes of Saturn's moon Enceladus may not be biosignatures as previously thought. New lab experiments indicate these molecules could be formed by radiation on the surface rather than from the ocean below. While this doesn't eliminate the possibility of life, it highlights the complexity of astrobiology and the need for more sophisticated instruments in future missions.Exciting Developments in Mars Exploration: NASA's Perseverance rover continues its mission on Mars, collecting samples from ancient lake beds and searching for signs of past life. The Mars sample return mission promises to be one of the most ambitious interplanetary projects ever, showcasing the evolution of Mars exploration from mere reach to sophisticated scientific inquiry.The Rise of Commercial Space Partnerships: The landscape of space exploration is changing with the rise of commercial partnerships.

South African – born space physicist Michele Dougherty has been awarded the honorary title of Astronomer Royal. She becomes the first woman to hold the title in the 350 – year -old history of the role. Although her all-girls school in Durban did not offer science as an option, her father sparked her love for planetary science when he built a telescope in the back garden of the family home. After qualifying as a mathematician and moving to Germany for a fellowship, Dougherty changed focus and joined teams working on two major space missions. Dougherty played a big role in major discoveries in the solar system, including the revelation that jets of water vapour shoot out of one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus, meaning it may be able to support life. She even managed to convince Nasa to turn a spacecraft around to take a closer look! Mark Coles speaks to colleagues and friends who describe her as a supportive and strong team leader always happy to celebrate other people's successes.Presenter: Mark Coles Producers: Ivana Davidovic and Emma Gibson Editor: Nick Holland Sound Editor: James BeardPHOTO: Michele Dougherty/Imperial College London

What if humans aren't actually from Earth? Sounds wild, right? Some scientists and theorists believe we may have originated somewhere else—maybe even another planet! From the idea that we came here on comets to theories about ancient aliens planting life, there are plenty of mind-blowing possibilities. Some say our bodies aren't well-adapted to Earth's conditions, like back pain and sunburns, as if we were designed for a different world. Whether it's Mars, another galaxy, or even a simulation, these theories will definitely make you question everything. Ready to explore the possibilities and rethink where we really came from?

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 22The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastNew Van Allen Radiation Belts, Alien Oceans and Signs of Life, and the Largest Black Hole Radio Jet Ever DetectedIn this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover the discovery of two new temporary Van Allen radiation belts created by a massive solar storm that struck Earth in May 2024. This event not only produced stunning auroras but also highlighted the importance of understanding the dynamics of radiation belts for the safety of satellites and astronauts. The findings, reported by NASA's Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment, reveal that these belts can last significantly longer than previously thought, with implications for future solar storms and spaceflight safety.Searching for Life in Alien OceansWe also explore the challenges of detecting signs of extraterrestrial life in the subsurface oceans of icy moons like Saturn's Enceladus. A new study suggests that the unique physics of these oceans could hinder the movement of biological signatures from deep waters to the surface, complicating the search for life beyond Earth. This research emphasizes the need to understand ocean dynamics in the search for life in our solar system.The Largest Black Hole Radio Jet in the Early UniverseAdditionally, astronomers have identified the largest radio jet ever seen in the early universe, spanning an astonishing 200,000 light years. This discovery sheds light on the formation of massive jets and quasars, providing crucial insights into the evolution of galaxies in the early cosmos. The quasar, which formed when the universe was just 9% of its current age, challenges previous assumptions about the conditions needed for such powerful jets to form.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 22 for broadcast on 19 February 202500:49 Discovery of new Van Allen radiation belts06:30 Implications of the May solar storm12:15 Challenges in detecting life in Enceladus's oceans18:00 The significance of ocean dynamics in extraterrestrial life searches22:45 The largest black hole radio jet ever observed27:00 Understanding quasars and their impact on galaxy evolution30:15 The implications of AI self-replicationwww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Moving across the surface of Enceladus can be more tricky than you think. Rough icy terrain can be hard for wheels. No atmosphere makes helicopters impossible. Thus, hopping and jumping might be the answer!

We love to hear from you. Send us your thought, comments, suggestions, love lettersProfessor Luciano Iess, Planetary Scientist and NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement MedalistThe Cassini spacecraft's final moments were like a fading heartbeat—one last signal before silence. In this episode, Professor Luciano Iess takes us on a journey across the solar system, from Saturn's icy moons to Venus's runaway greenhouse effect. Hidden oceans beneath alien surfaces, the search for extraterrestrial life, and the delicate balance between planetary protection and bold exploration.Quotable Insights:

From July 17, 2021. Over tens of millions of years, the surface of Europa has been churned by impacts down to an average depth of 30 centimeters. This churning means that the search for chemical biosignatures must look below that zone. Plus, methane and icequakes at Enceladus, predicting underwater eruptions, Virgin Galactic's flight, and a Chinese spacewalk.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From July 28 & August 4, 2023. Today's 2 topics: - In 2023 the James Webb Space Telescope spotted a geyser of water vapor extending more than 80% of the Earth's diameter erupting from Saturn's moon Enceladus. If life does exist in the salty ocean of Enceladus shielded from the rest of the Universe by a thick layer of ice and rock its nature remains a mystery. - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate David Rankin was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Cancer with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona when he discovered a potentially hazardous asteroid, 2023 KM5. Rest assured there is no way, on its current path, that 2023 KM5 will impact the Earth in the foreseeable future, however, asteroid hunters will continue to track it to make sure its orbit does not change to make it a threat.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
