Podcasts about Enceladus

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

Can the difficulty of interstellar travel the answer to the Fermi paradox? Or maybe it's the fact that we can only apply it to our galaxy and not further? Or maybe we can even find life in our solar system?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgQexNb0_0s From  Apr 15, 2017. Hosted by Fraser Cain.

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

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!

The Moon will squeeze past the planet Saturn tonight. They climb into view about 9:30 or 10. Saturn looks like a bright star. As seen from most of the United States, it’ll pass just a fraction of a degree from the Moon. One of Saturn’s moons is one of the more interesting objects in the solar system. Geysers of water and ice erupt from cracks in its crust. The geysers feed one of Saturn’s rings. And the source of the geysers – a global ocean of liquid water – is considered one of the best places to look for life. Enceladus isn’t very big – a bit more than 300 miles in diameter. It’s caught in a gravitational tug-of-war between Saturn and another moon. That stretches and squeezes Enceladus, generating heat. The heat has melted some of its ice, creating a global ocean well below the surface. The ocean could be several miles deep. Some of the ocean’s water escapes through cracks in the crust near the south pole. Known as “tiger stripes,” they’re warmer than the surrounding landscape. They spew enough water and ice to fill up an Olympic swimming pool in less than an hour. Some of the ejected material enters orbit around Saturn, forming a wide but faint ring. The ocean appears to contain all the ingredients for life: water, a source of energy, and a good mix of chemicals. Future missions may fly through the geyser plumes to hunt for microscopic life. We’ll talk about a search for intelligent life tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

We've learned much more from the DART mission, dark oxygen is being generated at the bottom of the ocean, Starliner is almost ready to come home, and we might not need to dig deep to find life on Europa.

In 2018, a groundbreaking discovery elevated a fascinating hypothesis when scientists found complex organic molecules in the water plumes bursting from Enceladus, one of Saturn's icy moons. These molecules, essential building blocks for life, suggest that life's ingredients are potentially more widespread than we had previously thought..Imagine tiny organisms, the ultimate hitchhikers, traversing the vastness of space, enduring the cold vacuum and the fiery entry through our atmosphere, to kickstart biology on a blue speck in the universe. It's a theory that turns the origin of life into an intergalactic adventure, suggesting that we, and all life on Earth, might just be aliens after all.This case file, join the Theorists as they sling their primordial ooze and and pump the galaxy full of potential life with the scientific idea of…Panspermia
