Scientists at the European Space Agency have used the James Webb Space Telescope to reveal the presence of pairs of planet-like objects in the Orion Nebula that have never been detected before.Referred to as "JuMBOs" - free-floating objects the size of Jupiter - the discovery has the potential to upend our understanding of how stars and planets are formed.Joining Jonathan to discuss this is Mark McCaughrean, ESA Senior Advisor for Science & Exploration.
La Nebulosa de Orión, captada por el Telescopio Espacial James Webb, revela planetas sin estrellas y paisajes estelares impresionantes en nueva data.La más reciente observación del Telescopio James Webb de la Nebulosa de Orión, una maravilla del cielo nocturno, ha revelado objetos del tamaño de Júpiter, apodados "JuMBOs". Estos enigmáticos cuerpos celestes, que parecen moverse en pares, presentan un misterio para los astrónomos.Pero, ¿cómo surgieron estos pares?Con apenas 1,400 años luz de distancia de la Tierra, la Nebulosa de Orión es una joya del universo observable. Su brillantez se debe en parte al Cúmulo Trapecio, un grupo de jóvenes estrellas que iluminan el gas y el polvo circundantes con su potente radiación ultravioleta. Además, el Webb, al observar la nebulosa, ha revelado una increíble variedad de fenómenos estelares.Lo que realmente ha capturado la atención son los "JuMBOs", objetos flotantes del tamaño de Júpiter que se mueven en pares. Estas observaciones desafían nuestro entendimiento actual sobre la formación de planetas y estrellas. ¿Se formaron por sí mismos en la nebulosa o fueron expulsados de sistemas estelares existentes?Prof. Mark McCaughrean de la Agencia Espacial Europea sugiere que la hipótesis más aceptada es que estos planetas fueron expulsados de sus sistemas originarios. Sin embargo, el misterio persiste, especialmente sobre cómo estos pares de planetas fueron expulsados juntos. Esta intrigante pregunta deja a la comunidad científica ansiosa por más respuestas.Si te apasiona el espacio y la ciencia, no te pierdas el pódcast "El Siglo 21 es Hoy": ElSiglo21esHoy.comBibliografíaESA - Webb's wide-angle view of the Orion NebulaBBC News - James Webb telescope makes 'JuMBO' discoveryProf. Mark McCaughrean's Science PageThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5835407/advertisement

After the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, Science Stories contacted Science Journalists Jari Makinen from the Finnish Television who was covering the launch and agreed to give an improvised report together with Mark McCaughrean from the European Space Agency(ESA). This is a short pirate style interview recorded in French Guiana just outside the launch area with birds and other sounds from the jungle in the background.
With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope scheduled to take place on 22nd December, we wanted to take an in depth look at what it is, so we reached out to the European Space Agency (ESA) and they put us in contact with Mark McCaughrean who is an interdisciplinary scientist for this mission.Mark McCaughrean:https://markmccaughrean.net/Twitter: https://twitter.com/markmccaughreanFull show notes can be found at: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp68-the-james-webb-space-telescope-with-mark-mccaughrean-of-esa-r9dw8 Show notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guest, plus videos of any launches.Image Credits: ESASpace and Things:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info: https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries: info@andthingsproductions.comSpace and Things is brought to you And Things Productions https://www.andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.

We'll talk about the European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission to Mercury. We're also going to look at Comet Leonard as it makes its closest approach to Earth this week, and we'll tell you how to find it in the night sky. We're going to hear about an odd finding from a Chinese lunar rover on the far side of the Moon, and we look forward to the launch of the most advanced telescope ever sent into space – the James Webb Space Telescope. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/support
Tärkein tapaus tähtitieteessä vuosikymmeniin on James Webb -avaruusteleskooppi. Sen tekeminen kesti lähes kymmenen vuotta odotettua pitempään ja tutkijat olivat jo heittää pyyhkeen nurkkaan, mutta lopulta teleskooppi on nyt valmis. Se on parhaillaan Kouroun avaruuskeskuksessa Ranskan Guyanassa, missä sitä valmistellaan laukaistavaksi avaruuteen 22. joulukuuta. Webb-teleskooppi on monessa mielessä legendaarisen avaruusteleskooppi Hubblen työnjatkaja, mutta samalla se on aivan erilainen. Siinä on paljon suurempi peili, se on viritetty toimimaan infrapunaisen valon alueella ja kuvaamisen sijaan sen päätyö on hajoittaa valoa osiinsa. Uudella teleskoopilla voidaankin tutkia erinomaisen hyvin eksoplaneettoja, selvittää tähtien elinkaarta sekä katsoa hyvin kauas avaruuteen, lähes maailmankaikkeuden alkuun – eli universumimme aivan ensimmäisiin hetkiin. Toimittaja Jari Mäkinen pääsi tutustumaan tarkemmin laukaisuvalmiiseen Webb-avaruusteleskooppiin Kouroun avaruuskeskuksessa. Hänen lisäkseen ohjelmassa ovat äänessä Hubblea kahdesti korjaamassa käynyt astronautti Claude Nicollier, tähtitieteilijä ja Euroopan avaruusjärjestön vanhempi neuvonantaja Mark McCaughrean, Nasan tiimiä Kouroussa johtava Mark Voyton Nasan Goddardin avaruuskeskuksesta sekä Arianespacen laukaisujohtaja Thierry Wilmart, joka antaa juuri ennen joulua lopullisen luvan lähettää Webb matkaan.

Gretchen McCulloch, author of Because Internet (£12.99, Penguin Books), says absolutely not: in fact, internet users have collaboratively developed a style of language that makes communication much richer.Here’s Gretchen talking to BBC Science Focus online assistant Sara Rigby about how sarcasm and humour drive our use of language, the value of emoji, and the history of lol.Subscribe to the Science Focus Podcast on these services: Acast, iTunes, Stitcher, RSS, OvercastLet us know what you think of the episode with a review or a comment wherever you listen to your podcasts.Listen to more episodes of the Science Focus Podcast:To become Prime Minister, change your voice – Trevor CoxDr Tilly Blyth: How has art influenced science?Why ASMR gives you tingles – Emma WhispersRedRobert Elliott Smith: Are algorithms inherently biased?Monica Grady: What is the future of space science?How do you launch a successful space mission? – Mark McCaughrean See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Launching a rocket into space doesn’t come cheap. That much won’t surprise anybody, but what goes into the planning, construction and the science before the mission even gets off the ground? And when it’s up there, what does it do, and what makes it a success?One man that knows how to put a space project together is Mark McCaughrean, senior advisor for science and exploration at the European Space Agency. During his 10 years at ESA, he’s worked on numerous projects, including the Rosetta mission to land a probe on a comet, and the enormous James Webb Space Telescope.Ahead of his talk at ESA's Space Rocks event on 21 September 2019, he talks to BBC Science Focus Online Editor Alexander McNamara about how to build a space project from start to finish, why studying space is so important for life on Earth, and reaching out through the power of rock music.We now have more than 85 episodes of the Science Focus Podcast, each of which is still well worth a listen.
