Pirmo reizi 25 gadu laikā Starptautiskā kosmosa stacija piedzīvoja ārkārtas evkuāciju astronauta veselības sarežģījumu dēļ. Tas mudina domāt, kādiem apstākļiem pakļauts cilvēka ķermenis izplatījumā un kādas pārcilvēciskas prasības dažkārt jāspēj izturēt astronautiem. Ko var un ko nevar darīt astronauts savas veselības labā riņķojot Zemes orbītā, vidē, kur vizīte pie ārsta kabinetā nav iespējama? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro astronomijas entuziasti un IT speciālisti Ints Ķešāns un Raitis Misa, kā arī "Starspace" observatorijas saimniece, astronomijas entuziaste Anna Gintere. Ķīpsalā meteorītu novērošanai uzstādīta "meteoru patruļa" Ierīce no ārpuses izskatās salīdzinoši necili, atgādina metāla sēni uz gara kāta. Īpaša ir tās iekšpuse. Astronomijas eksperti to dēvē par "meteoru patruļu". Šobrīd Latvijā ir trīs šādas meteoru patruļstacijas, drīz arī sāks darboties ceturtā. Ķīpsalā uz RTU Būvniecības un mašinzinību fakultātes jumta uzstādīta meteorītu novērošanas stacija, uz kuru vedina doties Meteorītu muzeja dibinātājs un vadītājs, un RTU docents Kārlis Bērziņš. Paši astronomi tās dēvē par „meteoru patruļām”, jo iekārtas ar vairāku kameru acīm nemitīgi filmē asteroīdus, komētas,  bolīdus, nezinātniski sakot, debesu akmeņus un akmentiņus, kas no Visuma nonākuši atmosfērā. Pateicoties šīm ierīcēm, pētnieki var ļoti precīzi izrēķināt debesu objektu lielumu, kustību, ātrumu. Ja kāda komēta, Zemei garām skrienot, nakts melnumā te pazaudē savu asti (piedodiet astronomi, zinu, ka komētas aste ir  garš putekļu mākonis un nekur nekrīt), tad ar šo kameru datētajiem attēliem, astronomi var noteikt, kur tā aste nokritusi. Ideja par šādām kamerām radusies amerikānim, meteoru biedrības pārstāvim Maikam Hankijam, kurš izdomājis, ka kvalitatīvāk  krītošu debess ķermeņu izpēti var veikt, ja tos filmē un vēlāk datē to kustības ātrumu un sadegšanas raksturu.

Valoda ir dzīva, kamēr tajā runā, bet tai ir nākotne, ja to turpina arī pētīt. Vairs nav tie laiki, kad valodu izpēte nozīmē tikai garum garas grāmatu un pierakstu lapas vai mutvārdu ekspedīcijas; mūsdienās palīdz digitālās tehnoloģijas un to paveikto labi redzam jau šodien, ikdienā izmantojot mākslīgo intelektu vai transkripciju latviešu valodā. Kā latviešu, lībiešu un latgaliešu valodas atrod savu vietu arī digitālajā pasaulē? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā sarunājas Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Rēzeknes akadēmijas pētniece Antra Kļavinska un Latvijas Universitātes Matemātikas un informātikas institūta vadošā pētniece, DHELI projekta valodas pētnieku grupas koordinatore Baiba Saulīte. Vai valoda mūsdienās var vēl dzīvot bez digitālās vides? "Diez vai var dzīvot, jo mēs saprotam, ka valoda visbiežāk tiek lietota arī digitālajā vidē mūsdienās daudz vairāk nekā kādreiz, mēs varam iegūt informāciju, kas ir rakstīta internetā, vai sazināmies biežāk ar tuviniekiem "WhatsApp", nevis mutiski," vērtē Baiba Saulīte "Es teiktu, ka nav iespējams, ka valoda paliek dzīva, ja tā netiek lietota digitālajā vidē." "Dažādās vietnēs pēta lingvistisko vitalitāti, sevišķi retāk lietotajām un mazajām valodām. Viens no aspektiem ir funkcionēšana digitālajā vidē, kas tiek ņemts vērā, arī vērtējot valodas vitalitāti un spēju turpmāk pastāvēt. Un sevišķi jaunā paaudze vairs nelieto, piemēram, vārdnīcas papīra formātā, bet galvenokārt jau izmanto digitālos resursus," papildina Antra Kļavinska. "Latviešu valodai ir diezgan labi digitālajā vidē. Domāju, ka neviens vairs nevar savu ikdienu iedomāties bez vārdnīcas "Tezaurs", kas paliek arvien labāka un labāka. Kur var atrast ne tikai vārdu pēc pamatformas, bet arī pēc dažādām formām locījumos. Var iegūt ļoti plašu informāciju," atzīst Baiba Saulīte. "Tāpat ir ļoti labas iespējas aplūkot konkrētu vārdu lietojumu dažādos kontekstos apjomīgos tekstu datos jeb korpusos un meklēt tur pēc īpašām pazīmēm. Piemēram, atrast visus darbības vārda saņemt teikuma priekšmetus - kas saņem. Latviešu valodai ir ļoti attīstījušies tieši pēdējos gados valodas resursi digitālajā vidē, arī ļoti mūsdienīgi un arī starptautiski atzīti un savietojami. Tas, kas ir marķēts mūsu datos, ir līdzīgi marķēts arī citām valodām, līdz ar to starp valodām var salīdzināt dažādas pazīmes." Kāpēc esperanto valoda nekļuva par universālu saziņas līdzekli? Esperanto ir mākslīgi radīta valoda, kuru izveidoja 19. gadsimta otrajā pusē ebreju ārsts un poliglota Ludvigs Zāmenhofs ar domu veidot vienu ideālo valodu, kas palīdzētu tautām saprasties. Par esperanto valodu pasaules kontekstā stāsta valodniece Ina Druviete, Latvijas esperanto asociācijas prezidente Margarita Želve stāsta, cik šīs valodas pratēju un interesentu ir Latvijā. Bet sižeta iesākumā tā autore iepazīstina ar sevi esperanto valodā. "Bonan matenon!  Mia nomo estas Zane. – Labrīt, mans vārds ir Zane."  Runa ir par savulaik mākslīgi veidotu valodu – esperanto, aptuvenā tulkojumā no romāņu valodām  – „cerība”. Esperanto ir darināta no romāņu un ģermāņu valodām un šajā valodā šobrīd pēc neoficiāliem datiem runā aptuveni 2 miljoni pasaules iedzīvotāju.  Latvijā  šī valoda bija ļoti populāra pagājušā gadsimta 20.-30. gados. Arī padomju laikā līdz pat PSRS sabrukumam Latvijas esperanto asociācijā bija vērojama liela aktivitāte. Par to, kāda šobrīd ir situācija ar esperanto runātājiem Latvijā, stāsta asociācijas prezidente Margarita Želve Margarita Želve stāsta, ka reizi trijos gados notiek Baltijas esperanto dienas, uz kurām parasti kopā sanāk vidēji 120-200 dalībnieku no 20-30 pasaules valstīm. Kā iemeslu tam, ka interese par šo valodu ir kritusies, Latvijas esperanto asociācijas  prezidente min angļu valodas popularitāti. Tam arī daļēji piekrīt valodniece, Latvijas Universitātes profesore Ina Druviete. Par to, kāpēc esperanto nav tik izplatīta kā agrāk, kāds ir tagadējais šīs valodas statuss un kuras no mākslīgi konstruētām  valodām ir populāras šobrīd, Inas Druvietes skaidrojums.   -- Par grāmatu, kas iedvesmojusi jauniem pētījumiem vai atklājumiem, stāsta Latvijas astronomijas biedrības pārstāvis Mārtiņš Gills. Viņš izvēlējies Randala Munro (Randall Munroe) grāmatu "What if..." (Ja nu...). Kā vēsta grāmatas apakšvirsraksts - tās ir "Nopietnas zinātniskas atbildes uz absurdiem hipotētiskiem jautājumiem".  Mārtiņš Gills atzīst, ka šī grāmata noder prāta uzmundrināšanai. To var atvērt jebkurā vietā un izlasīt kādu jautājumu un sniegto atbildi.

Starp zvaigznēm, planētām, komētām un citiem objektiem izplatījumā ir matērija, kuru neredzam, nespējam uztvert ar tradicionāliem novērojumiem, bet par tās klātbūtni esam visai droši jau teju gadsimtu. Tumšā matērija ir viena no aizraujošajām visuma mīklām, par kuru arī nesen tapuši jauni atklājumi. Kas tā ir, ko tā satur un kādas teorijas par to ir zinātniekiem pasaulē? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Daļiņu fizikas un paātrinātāju tehnoloģiju institūta direktors Kārlis Dreimanis un astronomijas entuziasti un IT speciālisti Ints Ķešāns un Raitis Misa. Kur beidzas Saules sistēma un sākas starpzvaigžņu telpa? „Astronomijas lielākā burvība ir, ka ap mums ir faktiski bezgalīga telpa, tā nav tukša, tur zvaigznes, miglāji un daudz kas cits un visu laiku var kaut ko pētīt arvien tālāk, smalkāk un detalizētāk un izzināt kaut ko jaunu. Tas ir tāds liels lauks, kur tik paskaties, ir ko izzināt. Tas, man liekas, attaisno cilvēka būtību meklēt kaut ko jaunu un izzināt,” saka Latvijas Astronomijas biedrības projektu vadītājs Mārtiņš Gills. Gadu desmitu un gadsimtu laikā cilvēku priekšstats par to, kas veido Saules sistēmu, aizvien ir paplašinājies. Šobrīd nevaram teikt, ka zinām pilnīgi visu, un gluži kā Dullajiem Daukām arī mums varētu rasties jautājums ja ne gluži par to, kas ir aiz horizonta, tad par to, kur beidzas Saules sistēma, gan. Zināmi atskaites punkti, kas nosaka aptuvenās Saules sistēmas robežas, ir skaidri. Kā tad šī izpratne pakāpeniski ir veidojusies, par to stāsta Mārtiņš Gills.

Kick off your week on a positive note with this episode of Positive Mindset Monday! Today, I reveal my favorite strategy to stay upbeat—straight from the incredible Dr. James Gills, the only person to finish six double Ironman triathlons. His secret? Learning to talk to himself rather than listening to the self-doubt and negativity in his mind.

Natasha tells Pat about putting in a reduced offer for Kirsty's house on Beechwood, because of the risk that the sewage problem might happen again. Pat wonders, if they're so worried about a recurrence then why risk it at all? Natasha insists they're going ahead with the offer, before asking if things are okay between Pat and Tony? Pat insists they are, then mentions her upcoming radio interview. At The Tearoom later though, disappointed Pat tells Emma that Radio Borsetshire cancelled her interview. Pat's determined to get the message out somehow, about the damaging effect the spillage is having on people's livelihoods. At the very least they need to call out Borsetshire Water publicly and force them to respond. Kirsty tells Joy about the pressure she feels under to accept pushy Tom and Natasha's reduced offer. Joy encourages Kirsty to make them wait for an answer, especially as they'll be getting brand new flooring and units. Later, Natasha tries guilt-tripping gobsmacked Kirsty into accepting the offer. Kirsty gives as good as she gets, but Natasha's not budging. If Kirsty won't accept the new offer then they'll look for another house instead.At The Dower House Joy confronts Lilian with the evidence of the broken robot vacuum cleaner, making it clear that she and Brian are going to have to pay for a replacement. Looking online they see it's one of the most expensive models. Lilian tries to slide out of it, blaming Brian, but Joy assures Lilian that they'll have the Gills to answer to if they don't stump up.
