You won't believe what scientists just dug up in Antarctica.
So picture this: a crew stumbles upon a ghost ship just drifting in the Bermuda Triangle.
Did you know the biggest iceberg in the world is cruising through the ocean right now? It's called A23a, and it first broke off the Filchner Ice Shelf way back in 1986! For decades, it was just chilling (literally) in the Weddell Sea, stuck on the seabed. Then it started moving again in 2020, only to get trapped in this oceanic vortex called the Taylor Column. But in December 2024, it finally broke free and is now heading toward South Georgia Island. Oh, and get this — it's over 4,300 square kilometers in size, which makes it more than three times bigger than New York City!

Oh, long time no see! In today's episode Holly and Anthony first catch up on their adventures while away from the studio... followed by the GeoGist where we unpack Tibet's devastating January 2025 earthquake and the mysterious earthquake swarm shaking Santorini and nearby Greek islands of the Aegean Sea. We recorded this episode of Wonder in February 2025, one month before another magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck the Myanmar region— resulting in a disastrous loss of life with critical rescue efforts ongoing at the time of publishing. Anthony mentions a scientific paper on Tibet's topographic ooze— find it linked here. Now we mentioned a GeoCo website, but alas, we're not yet live... it's coming soon! Until then, find us on Instagram @thegeocoA tremendous thank you to the Geological Society of Australia for making this episode of Wonder possible. GeoCo connects to you from the traditional country of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains, South Australia. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging.Thumbnail image credit: Plateau of Tibet, Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA/GSFC
#space #science #eclipse #northcarolina #southcarolina #weather #ncwx #scwx The Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Unlike 2017, the totality will not pass directly through the Carolinas. But still, at about 80% totality, there will still be some solar eclipse to experience in both North Carolina and South Carolina - weather permitting. This week on the Carolina Weather Group, James Brierton talks with Gina DiBraccio, Deputy Director of Heliophysics, NASA GSFC, about what we can expect to see, how we can prepare for the eclipse, and the scientific discoveries that are made possible by a solar eclipse. We also discuss space weather, solar storms, and the impacts of solar radiation on technology such as GPS and radio communication. Still need solar eclipse glasses? In this episode, we explain how you can make solar eclipse glasses at home. You can also reuse your glasses from the 2017 Eclipse or check retailers. While demand for the eclipses will be high, checking with unconventional retailers like video production stores or a hardware store may help. For example, B&H will ship you solar eclipse glasses (while supplies last) from https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/solar-eclipse-glasses-accessories/ci/32948. (Not a paid sponsor.)
A 50 mK test bench for demonstration of the readout chain of Athena X-IFU by Florent Castellani et al. on Sunday 11 September The X-IFU (X-ray Integral Field Unit) onboard the large ESA mission Athena (Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics), planned to be launched in the mid 2030s, will be a cryogenic X-ray imaging spectrometer operating at 55 mK. It will provide unprecedented spatially resolved high-resolution spectroscopy (2.5 eV FWHM up to 7 keV) in the 0.2-12 keV energy range thanks to its array of TES (Transition Edge Sensors) microcalorimeters of more than 2k pixel. The detection chain of the instrument is developed by an international collaboration: the detector array by NASA/GSFC, the cold electronics by NIST, the cold amplifier by VTT, the WFEE (Warm Front-End Electronics) by APC, the DRE (Digital Readout Electronics) by IRAP and a focal plane assembly by SRON. To assess the operation of the complete readout chain of the X-IFU, a 50 mK test bench based on a kilo-pixel array of microcalorimeters from NASA/GSFC has been developed at IRAP in collaboration with CNES. Validation of the test bench has been performed with an intermediate detection chain entirely from NIST and Goddard. Next planned activities include the integration of DRE and WFEE prototypes in order to perform an end-to-end demonstration of a complete X-IFU detection chain. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.04151v1

One of the biggest conundrums in the Universe surrounds the question of how quickly the Universe is expanding. Questions like what is the Universe made of, how old is it, what is it's ultimate fate, etc., absolutely depend on this. For generations, we argued over the details of this, seeming to have finally reached a consensus in 2001 with the Hubble Key Project's results: 72 km/s/Mpc, with an uncertainty of about 10%. But the modern results, as of 2019, seem to depend on how you measure it. Some teams are consistently getting 67 km/s/Mpc, while others get 73-74 km/s/Mpc, with uncertainties that don't overlap. This may not be a controversy, but rather a clue, and Nobel Prizewinner and co-discoverer of dark energy Adam Riess joins me on this special edition of the Starts With A Bang podcast. Don't miss it!

NASA is famous for its acronyms and technical jargon. If you've ever watched a rocket launch or a spacewalk, you've heard some of them. Blueshift is produced by the ASD EPO team at NASA GSFC - that is, the Astrophysics Science Division Education and Public Outreach team at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Do we need to spell out NASA, too? In this episode, we explore NASA mission names and where they come from. And we make a very special dedication - this one's for you, Stephen Colbert!
