Podcasts about Great Red Spot

Nothing says happy birthday quite like Jeremy Piven telling Rizz he's really, really glad he was born.And nothing destroys that warm birthday feeling faster than immediately discussing aggressive beaver litigation.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show.Rizz recently made his first pilgrimage to Buc-ee's in Springfield and came away with a glowing review: it was okay. It was fine. It was big.Take that, travel influencers.But while Rizz may not be ready to dedicate his life to the beaver, Buc-ee's is apparently extremely dedicated to protecting it. The crew discusses a legal battle involving apparel company Born United, which the show says used the Buc-ee's beaver logo on military-style merchandise and continued selling it after receiving cease-and-desist letters.The result discussed on the show: an $850,000 settlement involving trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising.That launches this comedy podcast into the larger debate over Buc-ee's aggressively defending its brand, especially when smaller businesses are involved.Lern brings up John Oliver's campaign trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise featuring Mr. Nutterbutter and the phrase “Buck Off.” Instead of simply poking the bear — or beaver — the merchandise is raising money for charity, while Buc-ee's apparently refuses to take the lawsuit bait.Lern and Tim even bought the socks.Naturally.The crew debates where legitimate trademark protection ends and corporate bullying begins. Lern compares it to protecting station branding when somebody blatantly rips off a logo versus going nuclear on some random tiny business that happens to use something vaguely similar.Basically: protect your beaver responsibly.Then it's time to give away concert tickets.And any remaining faith in the American education system.Welcome to the Rizz Quiz.Six callers get 45 seconds of rapid-fire trivia. No skips. One wrong answer ends the run. Highest score wins their choice of concert tickets.These are not impossible questions.That becomes important.Curtis starts the festivities by correctly identifying the colors of a yield sign before saying the main ingredient in butter is oil.Score: one.Rizz then accidentally hangs up on him.Honestly, mercy killing.Brian looks like an early trivia powerhouse when he correctly identifies Garfield as orange, Madrid as the capital of Spain and six as half a dozen.Then he says the planet with the Great Red Spot is Mars.Jupiter would like a word.Score: three.Justin steps up and starts absolutely cooking.A baby kangaroo? Joey.Sapphire? Blue.Girl with the red hood? Little Red Riding Hood.Quarters in two dollars? Eight.Crushed peanuts? Peanut butter.Which ocean borders California?Atlantic.NOOOOOOO.Justin still posts the best score so far with five, but geography has officially entered the building and chosen violence.Next comes Zach, who asks the show to wish his son Jameson a happy 11th birthday.Rizz explains they don't do shout-outs while immediately wishing Jameson a happy birthday and giving him applause.Perfect.Now Dad has to win for Jameson.Unfortunately, Dad does not know how many years are in a millennium.Happy birthday, buddy.Daddy got you 100 years instead of 1,000.Mark is next and nearly gets taken out immediately by Scar from The Lion King. After what feels like a complete psychological journey, he finally remembers the villain's name and battles his way to five correct answers, tying Justin.Then Aaron arrives with the opportunity to avoid a playoff entirely.His first question:What is the bottom color of a standard traffic light?Red.Game over.The answer is green.Aaron scores the day's first zero, and somewhere every DMV employee listening quietly locks the doors.Now we have a playoff.Justin returns first and answers six inches in half a foot.Correct.Bruce Wayne's superhero identity?Batman.Correct.What country is directly north of Mexico?Alaska.ALASKA.The comedy podcast has officially abandoned geography and entered experimental theater.The room absolutely collapses.Not only is Alaska not directly north of Mexico, it is — and we cannot stress this enough — not a country.Justin finishes with two.That leaves Mark needing three correct answers to win.Football safety? Two points.Shape with no corners or straight sides? Circle.Famous New York statue holding a torch?Statue of Liberty.We have a winner.Mark takes the Rizz Quiz crown and chooses Breaking Benjamin with Chevelle tickets, bringing one of the most educationally concerning contests in recent show history to a merciful conclusion.But Rizz has one final question.He reveals the closest-number tiebreaker they could have used: How many floors are in the Empire State Building?Now everybody in the studio gets involved.Devon guesses 54.Lern lands on 88 after changing her answer.Another guess rockets all the way to 224.Rafe goes with 150 — while admitting he almost said 400 before realizing that might make him “sound like a real dumb ass.”Good save.The actual answer according to the quiz?Lern's 88 is closest.Somehow, after an entire segment of listeners getting publicly destroyed by elementary-school trivia, Lern walks away the intellectual champion.So this episode has everything: Jeremy Piven birthday wishes, Buc-ee's trademark warfare, Big Beaver, John Oliver trolling, concert tickets, Garfield, Jupiter, a child learning his father doesn't know what a millennium is, California apparently relocating to the Atlantic Ocean, Alaska declaring independence from the United States and a group of grown adults trying to estimate the height of the Empire State Building.It's trivia.It's chaos.It's The Rizzuto Show.And please remember before getting behind the wheel today:Green is on the bottom.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Somehow the phrase “Big Beaver” isn't even the weirdest thing you're about to hear...Rizz recently made his first trip to Buc-ee's and came away impressed by the size, the amount of stuff and… well, that's about it. But the beaver empire definitely gets more enthusiastic when somebody messes with its logo.The crew discusses Buc-ee's legal battle with an apparel company accused of using its famous beaver on military-style merchandise, resulting in an $850,000 settlement according to the story discussed on the show. That leads straight into John Oliver trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise, Lern buying the socks, and a debate over the difference between legitimately protecting your trademark and unleashing corporate lawyers on every tiny beaver within driving distance.That would already be plenty for a normal comedy podcast. Unfortunately, nobody here has ever been interested in normal.Next comes the Rizz Quiz, where six callers are given extremely difficult questions such as “What ocean borders California?” and “What color is on the bottom of a traffic light?”The results are devastating.California gets relocated to the Atlantic Ocean.The Great Red Spot moves to Mars.One father celebrates his son's 11th birthday by revealing he thinks a millennium is 100 years.And during a playoff, Justin is asked what COUNTRY is directly north of Mexico.His answer?Alaska.Not the United States.Alaska.The crew is forced to explain that this is no longer merely a geography problem.Mark eventually survives the educational apocalypse and wins the contest, while an Empire State Building tiebreaker gives the people in the studio their own opportunity to demonstrate that estimating the size of famous buildings is apparently impossible.From there, we move into accommodations.Lern was supposed to stay at a Dolly Parton-themed hotel while traveling for the Foo Fighters, but shortly before the trip she learned the hotel still wasn't ready. The staff offered to help with alternate accommodations — because that's the Dolly way — and Lern eventually landed in an Airbnb.Which leads directly to one of the most romantic vacation ideas ever discussed on the show:Buffalo Bill's house from The Silence of the Lambs.Yes, you can stay there.The crew discusses the house in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania, a town name that immediately gets roasted before anyone can even focus on the serial-killer-themed vacation rental.The house goes ALL IN.There's a recreated basement well for pictures, horror memorabilia, hundreds of horror movies, an arcade, a pool table and a motion-activated disco ball that plays “Goodbye Horses.”Apparently people have even proposed inside the well.Nothing says lifelong commitment like asking someone to marry you while recreating one of the most disturbing basements in movie history.And somehow several members of the show are completely willing to sleep there.Devon may already be in the well.Then the crew heads to karaoke, where the crew runs through songs you should probably never attempt unless humiliation is specifically why you left the house.“I Will Always Love You.”“Bohemian Rhapsody.”“Dream On.”“Take On Me.”“Chandelier.”“Somebody to Love.”“Chop Suey!”Lern and Rafe argue that bad karaoke is actually better because nobody wants to spend their night watching aspiring Broadway performers flawlessly execute songs like they're trying to get discovered between Jägerbombs.Rizz treats karaoke like The Voice.Moon has standards.And the show discovers Alan Ritchson can sing, because apparently being Jack Reacher wasn't enough and this man needed additional talents just to make the rest of us feel worse.Then Crap on Celebrities takes the wheel with Benny Blanco relationship talk, Ella Langley, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks, Black Sabbath, Metallica and the revelation that Oprah is heading to the Sphere.Initially, the room has questions.Many questions.Then Moon learns Jacob Collier is involved and suddenly transforms into Oprah's newest ticket salesman.The episode also detours through movie songs, Dirty Dancing, Titanic, Frozen, Fievel and the eternal question of whether certain movie themes are masterpieces or crimes against speakers.And then the crew walks into the room carrying a pharmacy.Rafe arrives surrounded by cold and allergy remedies because he feels something coming on and absolutely refuses to get sick. Rizz recommends chicken soup — “Jewish penicillin” — while the crew starts comparing all the exciting new ways their bodies hurt for absolutely no reason.That becomes a discussion of bizarre sleeping positions.Lern sleeps on her stomach with a hand underneath her pelvis.Moon sleeps like a vampire in a coffin.Rafe routinely wakes up with entire arms completely dead and rubs his feet together like Jiminy Cricket.Everyone is doing great.From there we get Mary Kay nostalgia, pink Cadillacs, old-school home sales parties and Rafe remembering an early comedy gig where part of the compensation came in a deeply unconventional swag bag. We'll leave it at that. YouTube a has rules.The comedy podcast then moves into fitness, where the crew discusses the famous 10,000-steps goal and a conversation about walking pace before discovering Hyrox — a standardized fitness competition involving running and workout stations. Sounds healthy. Sounds inspiring. Sounds like a great way to improve yourself.Then the show discusses a Hyrox race in Beijing where a 22-year-old Australian competitor reportedly suffered a severe bowel accident during the competition……and kept going.She won.The crew cannot believe what they're hearing.The controversy becomes less about competitive toughness and more about the fact that Hyrox involves shared workout stations, meaning everybody behind her suddenly had a problem they absolutely did not include in their training program.“A win is a win” becomes the philosophy of the day.Unfortunately, the bathroom content is not finished.The show also discusses an alleged neighbor dispute involving a bucket of human waste, proving once again that some people handle relationship drama with communication while others apparently choose biological warfare.Then air travel joins the nightmare.The crew discusses disruptive airplane passengers, Moon's frustration with constant in-flight entertainment interruptions and pilot announcements, and a flight attendant's warning that some passengers reportedly change baby diapers directly on airplane tray tables.Yes.The tray where your pretzels go.Congratulations. You will now wipe that thing down until the plastic changes color.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Can't Hit 10,000 Steps?

Space Nuts: Dark matter clues, Saturn's new decagon, Mars and Titan missions.Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson cover a packed astronomy episode that moves from a tentative dark matter signal to a newly spotted ten sided storm pattern on Saturn. They also dig into two upcoming sample return style missions, one to Mars and one to Titan, before finishing with listener questions about Jupiter's Great Red Spot, solar missions, gravitational waves, and AI in astronomy.Key topicsIn this episode, Andrew and Fred discuss the Lux-Zeppelin underground detector result, where researchers saw a low-energy flash that might be consistent with dark matter, though the signal is still far short of discovery level.Fred explains why dark matter is inferred from galaxy rotation and gravitational lensing, and why direct detection experiments need to be buried deep underground and shielded from background noise.The discussion covers Fred's own migraine aura experience, including the zigzag visual pattern he describes as a brain-based phenomenon that affects both eyes.In this episode, they celebrate an outback astronomy success story involving Trevor Barry of Broken Hill, whose long-term Saturn observations helped connect amateur and professional work on planetary atmospheres.Fred explains Saturn's famous north polar hexagon and the newly reported south polar decagon, noting that the southern feature appears to have formed only since 2023.They cover China's Tianwen-3 Mars sample return plans, including the narrowing of candidate landing sites from 86 to 12 and the mission's focus on clay-rich terrain that may preserve signs of ancient life.Fred and Andrew also discuss NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan, including the chosen region near Selk crater, the expected 3.3-year primary mission, and why Titan's dense atmosphere makes rotorcraft flight more practical there than on Mars.Timestamps00:00 - Pre-show timing and getting ready to go live00:49 - Welcome to Space Nuts and what's coming up02:23 - Fred joins the show and mentions recovering from knee surgery03:17 - First story: a possible dark matter detection at Lux-Zeppelin05:28 - Why dark matter is hard to detect directly06:56 - Underground detectors and the LZ experiment in South Dakota08:50 - The flash event and why it is only a hint, not a discovery11:44 - The 2.6 sigma result and what that means statistically13:55 - Trevor Barry and the discovery of Saturn's south polar decagon16:23 - Saturn's north polar hexagon and why the south is unusual17:49 - The decagon's possible recent formation and what comes next21:26 - China's Tianwen-3 Mars sample return mission23:40 - Candidate landing sites narrowed down and why clays matter25:20 - NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan26:03 - Why the Titan landing region near Selk crater is scientifically interesting27:31 - Dragonfly's three point three year primary mission and Titan's chemistry29:09 - Listener shout-outs and wrapping the first halfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support.

To borrow from an advertising campaign, Jupiter is “getting the red out.” Its enormous “eye” – the Great Red Spot – has been shrinking. It’s now just a third as wide as when it was first seen, and it’s getting smaller all the time. The Great Red Spot is one of the most recognizable features in the solar system. But scientists still don’t know that much about it. They don’t know for sure how it formed, why it’s shrinking, or even why it’s red. They have lots of ideas, but no certain answers. The spot was discovered as early as 1831. There were suggestions that it was seen much earlier, but those sightings might have been a different feature. The spot has been tracked on a regular basis since 1878. It’s between two powerful jet streams. They prevent it from wandering to different latitudes. It tops out several miles above the surrounding clouds, and extends at least 150 miles below the clouds. In the late 19th century, the spot was a long oval – about as tall as Earth, but three times as wide. Today, it’s roughly the same size as Earth. And the rate of shrinkage has been increasing. So it’s possible that it could disappear entirely within a few decades. Look for Jupiter close below the Moon at dawn tomorrow. It looks like a brilliant star. The Great Red Spot is visible through a telescope, but whether it’s visible from a particular location depends on the timing. Script by Damond Benningfield

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is one of the most intriguing features in the solar system. It’s a storm that’s big enough to swallow Earth – but getting smaller. Winds at its perimeter blow much faster than any hurricane on Earth. And it has a bright reddish orange color. Despite a century and a half of study, though, it’s still mysterious. Scientists don’t know why it’s red, why it’s getting smaller, or how it fired up in the first place. They do know that the storm drifts westward around the planet. And a recent study found that it “inches” along like a garden slug. Scientists monitored the storm for three months with Hubble Space Telescope. They already knew that the Great Red Spot goes through a 90-day cycle. But this was the first time they plotted the changes in detail. The images revealed that the spot stretches and squeezes as it moves. When it’s moving slowest, it’s stretched out. When it’s moving fastest, it’s more compressed, so it’s a little rounder. The storm’s width varies by about a hundred miles, and its height by a bit more. The spot’s average width is more than 8,000 miles. That’s only a third the size when it was first seen. No one knows whether it will continue to shrink – and eventually disappear. Look for Jupiter close to the right of the Moon in tomorrow’s dawn twilight. It looks like a bright star. But it’s so low that you need a clear horizon to spot it. Script by Damond Benningfield

What was it like forging a career in physics as a woman in the 1970s? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome the “Dynamic Duo of Physics” – physicist Dr. Betty Jensen and astrophysicist Dr. Mary Lou West. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, a potential new revelation about Jupiter's Great Red Spot. It seems that the current spot may be only 190 years old rather than 400 years old, and that the first spot described by Cassini in the 1600s may have actually disappeared in the early 1700s. Mary Lou points out that the older spot may not even have been red and gives us a primer on the storms of Jupiter. Next, Betty talks about her love of math and science, her research in fusion energy, and how she forged her own path to becoming the physicist she always knew she would be. Both scientists talk about how “the two body problem” led each of them to stay in the New York area. Mary Lou talks about how she also studied math and physics, but how she ended up becoming an astrophysicist. Then it's time for an audience question for Dr. Jensen and Dr. West: “What kinds of mentoring opportunities were available during your PhD years?” Betty says that while as the lone woman in her area she didn't feel very supported, she did have some really good experiences with professors at Columbia University, including Nobel prize winner in physics Dr. Isadore Isaac Rabi. Mary Lou, who was also at Columbia, tells the story of how she had to do a second thesis after someone published on the subject she'd been working on. She also recounts the wild story of how she used a children's chalkboard to save her PhD thesis defense after student protests disrupted it. Charles brings up the story of Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu, one of the most famous woman physics professors of the period and a member of the Manhattan Project, with whom Betty took a class. In a perhaps unsurprising turn of events, Dr. Wu and the other women on her team who conducted the “Wu Experiment” were ignored by the Nobel Prize committee in favor of the male scientists who predicted the results of her experiment. Throughout the episode, Betty and Mary Lou share some of their most interesting experiences, from riding in the back of a car with Edward Teller, the father of the H-Bomb, to the nearly catastrophic installation of a large telescope at the Harriman Observatory. Chuck talks with Betty and Mary Lou about what it was like to use computers in the punch card era. It turns out, both Betty's dissertation and Mary Lou's thesis were on punch cards! Finally, after the two scientists brag about their families, Chuck asks them for some parting words of advice for future scientists. But we wouldn't dream of speaking for them, so please tune in to the episode for words of wisdom from these two inspirational physicists.   We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.   Credits for Images Used in this Episode: Great Red Spot seen by the Juno probe – Kevin Gill, CC BY 2.0 Cassini's drawing of Jupiter's “permanent spot” – Giovanni Domenico Cassini, Public Domain Great Red Spot in the 1880s – Thomas Gwyn Elger Magnetic plasma storms on the Sun – Courtesy of NASA/SDO and the AIA, EVE, and HMI science teams, Public Domain Dr. Isadore Isaac Rabi – Nobel Foundation Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu at work – Smithsonian Institution, no known copyright restrictions Dr. Edward Teller – UC Davis, CC BY 2.0   #TheLIUniverse #CharlesLiu #AllenLiu #SciencePodcast #AstronomyPodcast #Physics #Astrophysics #BettyJensen #MaryLouWest #Jupiter #GreatRedSpot #MagneticPlasmaStorms #JovianStorms #SolarStorms #Cassini #NobelPrize #IsadoreIsaacRabi #ChienShiungWu #EdwardTeller #ManhattanProject #HarrimanObservatory #ColumbiaUniversity #TwoBodyProblem

This week, we're diving deep into some really clever and cutting-edge tech for Martian habitats... made from fungus! Dr. Lynn Rothschild of the NASA Ames Research Center has been working for years on how mushroom mycelia might be utilized as a habitat-building resource. It's quite fascinating--the organic material can be used to make bricks, to create shaped structures, and even to create an "astropharmacy" to supply certain compounds needed by the crew of a Mars excursion!

Jupiter might have “blinked” for more than a century. A storm in its southern hemisphere might have winked out, with another eventually taking its place – today’s Great Red Spot. Scientists first reported a spot in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere as early as 1632, and definitely by 1665. But there were no records of it from the early 1700s to the early 1800s. So there’s been a debate about whether the spot disappeared, or astronomers simply missed it. A recent study argues that the original spot vanished. Researchers combed through all the records of Jupiter they could find – including those by some of the most accomplished observers of the time. And there were no reports of a big, dark spot. That suggests the original storm fizzled out, and a new one fired up in the same location. The current version was first reported in 1831. Since then, it’s changed dramatically. At first, it was an oval about three times as wide as Earth. Today, it’s rounder, and about the same size as Earth. The new study says the Great Red Spot probably sprang from the interplay of two powerful jet streams. Today, winds at its perimeter reach almost 300 miles per hour. And they’re getting faster as the spot shrinks – perhaps to once again blink out. Jupiter stands to the right of the Moon as they climb into good view, around midnight. It looks like a brilliant star. A small telescope will reveal the Great Red Spot. Script by Damond Benningfield

Astronomy AstroDailyPod - The Podcast: 23rd September 2024Welcome to another episode of Astronomy AstroDailyPod, your ultimate source for the latest Space and Astronomy news. I'm your host, Steve Dunkley, and today we have a fascinating lineup of stories from the Astronomy AstroDailyPod newsletter. From insights into Jupiter's Great Red Spot and moonquakes, to China's latest satellite launch and discoveries at the edge of the solar system, we've got it all covered. Let's dive in!Highlights:- Jupiter's Great Red Spot: A new study suggests that Jupiter's iconic Great Red Spot, visible for at least 190 years, is not the same one observed by astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1665. The current spot likely formed from an instability in Jupiter's atmospheric winds, creating a persistent atmospheric cell. This research, published in Geophysical Research Letters, used historical observations and numerical models to explore the longevity and nature of this massive atmospheric vortex.- China's Satellite Launch: China successfully launched two new satellites as part of its Buddy navigation satellite system. Carried by a Long March 3B rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, these satellites are equipped with upgraded atomic clock systems and new inter-satellite data links. The Buddy network, China's largest civilian satellite system, now has over 50 active satellites, providing global positioning and navigation services.- Moonquakes and Lunar Exploration: As NASA prepares for more missions to the lunar surface, new research indicates that potential landing sites at the moon's south pole might be susceptible to quakes and landslides. The study, based on data from Apollo-era seismometers, highlights the need for lunar design criteria to address these seismic hazards. The findings could influence the planning and construction of habitats and infrastructure on the moon.- Kuiper Belt Discoveries: NASA's New Horizons Kuiper Belt search Timms reports the detection of an unexpected population of distant bodies in the Kuiper Belt, stretching almost 90 times as far from the sun as Earth. This discovery suggests that the Kuiper Belt may be larger than previously thought or that there is a second Kuiper Belt beyond the one discovered in the 1990s. The findings could challenge current models of the solar system's formation.- NASA's Lunar Navigation Challenge: NASA is seeking innovative solutions to help Artemis astronauts navigate the lunar south pole. The Lunar Navigation Challenge invites individuals and teams to design a low-tech backup navigational device for astronauts and creative solutions for mapping the bottom of Shackleton Crater. The challenge aims to address the unique orienteering difficulties posed by the lunar south pole's extreme light and shadows.For more Space news, be sure to visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, the Podcast that brings you the latest news and updates from the world of space and astronomy. I'm your host, Anna, and today we have some exciting topics to cover, from the early signs of the sun's next solar cycle to a groundbreaking discovery by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover. There's a lot to discuss. We'll also delve into the recent findings on Jupiter's great red spot and get an update on Boeing's Starliner capsule. Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or just a space enthusiast, there's something here for everyone. So let's get started.First Signs of Solar Cycle 26 Detected: Scientists have detected the first rumblings of the next eleven-year solar cycle through sound waves within the sun, even though we're still halfway through the current one, Solar Cycle 25. This discovery, presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's national astronomy meeting, came from researchers at the University of Birmingham. Using internal sound waves, astronomers have pinpointed patterns of faster and slower rotating bands within the sun, known as solar torsional oscillation. Dr. Rachel Howe noted that a faint sign of the next solar cycle, Cycle 26, is now visible in the data, indicating that it will officially commence around 2030. This ongoing research aims to advance our knowledge of solar dynamics and prepare for the impacts of solar activity on Earth.- Curiosity Mars Rover's Groundbreaking Discovery: On May 30, NASA's Curiosity rover made a surprising discovery by driving over a rock and revealing yellow sulfur crystals, a sight never before seen on Mars. This find suggests new insights into Mars' geologic and hydrologic history. The rover has been exploring the Geddes Valis channel, uncovering various clues about the planet's past, including chemical interactions and water flows. Project scientist Ashwin Vasavada described the discovery as finding an oasis in the desert, highlighting its significance in understanding Mars' complex narrative.- Boeing's Starliner Capsule Update: Boeing is making strides in understanding the thruster issues that delayed the return of its Starliner capsule from the International Space Station. Engineers recently completed tests on a spare thruster, providing invaluable data for troubleshooting the problem. NASA's commercial crew program manager, Steve Stitch, emphasized the importance of these tests in ensuring a safe return for astronauts Butch Wilmore and SUNY Williams. Although there's no confirmed return date yet, the detailed analysis will guide the necessary adjustments before clearing Starliner for its journey home.- Jupiter's Great Red Spot Shrinking: Jupiter's Great Red Spot, the largest windstorm in the solar system, has been shrinking over the past century. A new study led by Caleb Kevinney from Yale University might shed light on why this is happening. Using 3D simulations, researchers discovered that smaller transient storms feed into the Great Red Spot, helping to sustain its size. This study has broader implications for understanding both Jovian and terrestrial weather systems, potentially improving our predictive capabilities for extreme weather events on Earth.Don't forget to visit our website at astronomydaily.io to sign up for our free daily newsletter and stay updated with the latest space news.

The Space, Astronomy & Science Podcast.SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 39*Unveiling the Einasto Supercluster: A Cosmic BehemothAstronomers have unveiled one of the most massive superclusters ever observed, a colossal structure named the Einasto Supercluster. Comprising thousands of galaxies and a mass of 20 followed by 15 zeros in stars, this supercluster is a testament to the pioneering work of Jan Oort, whose 95th birthday coincides with the discovery. The Einasto Supercluster, stretching 360 million light-years across, provides new insights into the large-scale structure of the universe, challenging our understanding of galactic evolution and the gravitational forces at play in these vast cosmic metropolises.*Humans Alter Asteroid's Path and ShapeIn a groundbreaking mission, humans have altered the shape and orbit of an asteroid. NASA's DART spacecraft collided with the asteroid moon Dimorphos, not only knocking it off course but also reshaping its entire structure. This kinetic impact demonstration confirms our capability to deflect potentially hazardous asteroids and marks a significant milestone in planetary defense strategies. The aftermath of the collision has been meticulously analyzed, revealing a reshaped Dimorphos with a shorter orbital period and a new, elongated form.*Hubble's New Glimpse into Jupiter's Stormy AtmosphereThe Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning new images of Jupiter, offering a fresh perspective on the gas giant's turbulent weather systems. The iconic Great Red Spot, a storm large enough to engulf Earth, is showcased alongside other atmospheric phenomena. Despite its gradual shrinkage and color changes, the Great Red Spot still rages with high-speed winds, interacting with smaller vortices that may be influencing its longevity. Hubble's detailed observations continue to unravel the mysteries of Jupiter's dynamic climate and the forces shaping its grand tempests.For more SpaceTime and to support the show, visit our website at https://spacetimewithstuartgary.com where you can access our universal listen link, find show notes, and learn how to become a patron.

JunoCam is the incredible camera included in the Juno mission to capture polar cyclones and other mysterious beauty on Jupiter. We learn about the unique requirements the camera had to meet for the mission and how it has become an incredible scientific tool as well as a great way to reach out to the public. Juno's chief scientist Dr. Scott Bolton explains on 'This Week in Space' how the camera was designed to capture images of Jupiter's pole and how it is similar to a smartphone camera.

Jupiter is the beachball of the solar system: big, round, and painted with colorful stripes. It's also the largest planet in the solar system, so each stripe is thousands of miles wide. The stripes are created by Jupiter's high-speed rotation — it spins on its axis once every 10 hours. They're separated by jet streams that blow at hundreds of miles per hour and dip a couple of thousand miles into the atmosphere. And their borders can be turbulent, marked by ripples and waves as big as countries. The bands alternate between light-colored zones and darker belts. The clouds in the zones are higher, while those in the belts are lower, allowing us to see deeper into Jupiter's atmosphere. The clouds are made of ammonia and other compounds, with clouds of water below. The bands are colored in shades of yellow, red, and brown, giving Jupiter its beachball appearance. The color may come from compounds of sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements dredged from deep below. Giant storms float through the bands. The biggest is the Great Red Spot, which is the size of Earth — a colorful decoration for a colorful beachball. Look for Jupiter to the upper left of the Moon this evening. It looks like a brilliant star — only the Moon and the planet Venus outshine it. And if you can't catch them tonight, Jupiter and the Moon will be about the same distance apart tomorrow night, with Jupiter to the right of the Moon.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

For over 200 years now, astronomers have seen a Great Red Spot hanging out in the atmosphere above Jupiter.  We now know this “spot” is really a giant storm. But how long has it been there? We reached out to planetary scientist Shawn Brueshaber to get the answer! Have a question storming your brain? Send it to us at BrainsOn.org/contact, and we'll search the planet for the answer!

What do they mean when they say Jupiter is a "gas" planet? Could a rocket be shot through it? Can a space ship land on it? If Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a storm, why has it been there for so long? Why was the Juno mission one of NASA's most difficult? ... we explain like I'm five Thank you to the r/explainlikeimfive community and in particular the following users whose questions and comments formed the basis of this discussion: simonowens, billandteds69 and spriddler To the ELI5 community that has supported us so far, thanks for all your feedback and comments.

https://youtu.be/361a-BsjKkw Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain )Special Guest: Let's face it - there isn't a single one of us who hasn't gazed at myriad stunning astronomy images that are readily available on the web. Whether it's Jupiter's Great Red Spot, Saturn's gorgeous rings, desolate Martian landscapes, or a spectacular deep sky object, the "raw material" behind each of these beauties is often publicly available data collected by survey missions.    But how exactly does a long string of seemingly random "ones and zeros" get transformed into such amazing visual imagery? Tonight, Kevin Gill, the image processing "magician", is with us to give us an introduction into how to access the public archives as well as how to process their data.    Kevin Gill is a software and spaceflight engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Los Angeles, California. He enjoys astrophotography and processing images collected by numerous missions include Cassini, Voyager, Galileo, Curiosity Rover, Perseverance Rover, HiRISE, Juno, Akatsuki, Hubble, and more.   To learn more about Kevin's image processing and his open source custom image processing software, be sure to visit his website (https://www.apoapsys.com/home) While you are there, be sure to have a look at his amazing portfolio.   Don't forget to follow Kevin on Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinmgill), Twitter (https://twitter.com/kevinmgill), and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/apoapsys/) Regular Guests: Dr. Alex Teachey ( https://alexteachey.wordpress.com/ & @alexteachey ) Chris Carr ( @therealccarr ) Pam Hoffman ( http://spacer.pamhoffman.com/ & http://everydayspacer.com/ & @EverydaySpacer ) And also: Annie Wilson ( http://www.psi.edu/about/staffpage/awilson & @BinaryAblaze ) This week's stories: - Upcoming meteor showers! - A new record for the most distant galaxy. - The planetary decadal survey is out!   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!
