Human have long looked into the night sky and searched for signs, for meaning, in the lights twinkling above us. And through the years, humankind developed tools to become better stargazers; from Galileo's astronomical telescope to the Hubble Space Telescope launched into near-Earth Orbit nearly a quarter century ago. And a couple years ago, the James Webb Space Telescope followed. Webb has high sensitivity instruments making it able to view celestial bodies much farther away than Hubble could see, and has been sending us photos and measurements leading to ground-breaking discoveries. These discoveries are shaping how the Baltimore-based scientists of the Webb Mission Office, and all humankind, understand of our cosmos. Astrophysicist Dr. Macarena Garcia Marin joined Midday to talk about Webb's recent discoveries. She is a European Space Agency Instrument Scientist and Project Scientist in the Webb Mission Office at the Space Telescope Science Institute here in Baltimore.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

Today, we know that in the Milky Way galaxy, there are more planets than there are stars. Additionally, there are organisms on Earth called "extremophiles" that thrive in extreme or hostile environments, similar to those found on many exoplanets. With so much potentially habitable real estate in the Universe, it is natural to wonder if it actually is inhabited.

She served as Project Scientist for NASA's SETI program, the High Resolution Microwave Survey, and has conducted numerous observational programs at radio observatories worldwide. Since the termination of funding for NASA's SETI program in 1993, she has served in a leadership role to secure private funding to continue the exploratory science. Her astronomical work was illustrated in Carl Sagan's 1985 novel "Contact." The character largely based on Tarter, "Ellie Arroway," was portrayed by Jodie Foster in the 1997 film version of "Contact." ---------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business Learn more about your ad choices.

Presenter is the Project Scientist, Dr. Robert Pappalardo (JPL)May 22, 2024Jupiter's moon Europa may be a habitable world, containing the “ingredients” necessary for life within its ocean. Data from NASA's earlier Galileo mission suggest that a global, salty ocean exists beneath the icy surface. Tides have broken that floating ice shell to create impressive ridges, bands, and chaotic terrains. The Europa Clipper mission will explore Europa with a suite of instruments, through multiple close flybys from Jupiter orbit, examining the moon's ice shell, ocean, and geology.  And it will search for current activity –including plumes that emerge from surface cracks. Dr. Pappalardo, the mission's Project Scientist, summarizes our understanding of Europa and the and status and promise of the Europa Clipper.

Ignacio Ugarte-Urra es astrofísico del Laboratorio de Investigación Naval de EE. UU. Su especialidad es la física solar y el estudio de los procesos responsables del calentamiento de la atmósfera exterior del Sol, la corona, y de la erupciones que dan origen a la climatología espacial. Sus responsabilidades incluyen la explotación científica de datos de un espectrógrafo solar actualmente en órbita y de un cohete suborbital en fase de desarrollo. Actualmente ejerce como Project Scientist y Deputy PI de un espectrógrafo de NASA en desarrollo para una misión internacional liderada por JAXA, la agencia espacial japonesa. Mayo de 2024 ya ha demostrado ser un mes especialmente tormentoso para nuestro Sol. Durante la primera semana completa de mayo, una andanada de grandes erupciones solares y eyecciones de masa coronal (CME) lanzaron nubes de partículas cargadas y campos magnéticos hacia la Tierra, creando la tormenta solar más fuerte que ha llegado a la Tierra en dos décadas, y posiblemente una de las más fuertes exhibiciones de auroras registradas en los últimos 500 años. En este programa, Ignacio nos ayudará a entender las implicaciones de estos eventos solares extremos. Exploraremos cómo afectan nuestra tecnología, nuestras comunicaciones y las redes eléctricas, así como las medidas que estamos tomando para protegernos de estos fenómenos. También discutiremos las recientes observaciones y descubrimientos, y cómo misiones espaciales como la Solar Orbiter y la Parker Solar Probe están revolucionando nuestro conocimiento del Sol.

The Voyager probes have been transiting space since 1977, and they're still at it 46 years later. But late in 2023, Voyager 1, now 15 billion miles distant, started sending what the flight controllers called "gibberish" back to Earth---uncoordinated ones and zeros and a heartbeat tone. They knew it was still alive, but something had gone wrong. The small team of software wizards at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory got to work and came up with a workaround... but due to the age of the program, did not have an old enough computer on the ground to test it! They'd have to eyeball the sequence and send it to overwrite existing programming on the spacecraft. The round-trip radio signal from Earth takes 45 hours... and it was a nail-biter. Join us as we discuss this rescue beyond the solar system with Voyager Mission Scientist Dr. Linda Spilker.

This week on The Cosmic Companion, we talk about the mysteries of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Later in the show, we will be joined by René Laureijs, Euclid Project Scientist, from The European Space Agency.If one were to look at all the matter and energy in the Universe, about 68% is dark energy, 27% is dark matter, and just five percent is everything we see around us. 95% of everything out there — is totally unknown. [That's chicken feed. What IS most of the Universe?] Good question! Get full access to The Cosmic Companion w/ James Maynard at thecosmiccompanion.substack.com/subscribe

Hello everyone!This week on The Cosmic Companion, we will explore The Water Worlds of the Solar System, talking with Olivier Witasse from the European Space Agency, Project Scientist for the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, or Juice, now on its way to the Jovian system.Join me, your trusty celestial tour guide, as we don our intellectual swim trunks and dive into the water worlds of our solar system. Water, essential for all life on Earth, was once thought to be rare in the solar system.Large quantities of water ice are now believed to sit inside deep craters at the poles of the Moon, where sunlight never strikes. Ice deposits at the South Pole of the Moon alone could hold more than 150 times as much water as the Mediterranean Sea.These vast deposits of water mean these regions are where the first human settlements on the Moon will soon rise. But native life seems unlikely inside huge blocks of solid ice billions of years old. [] …may be the best place in the solar system to search for extraterrestrial life. Oceans here could hold twice as much water as is found on Earth.The surface of this world is covered in water ice, bent and pulled by tidal forces due to gravity from Jupiter. This action breaks the icy surface, and it cracks apart from stress, like every couple by the end of a Paul Simon song. Heat from this process might also help warm the oceans of Europa, increasing hope of extraterrestrial life forming on this distant world. On 14 April, the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer spacecraft, lovingly known as Juice, lifted off on its way to explore these intriguing moons of Jupiter. Next up, we talk with Olivier Witasse from the European Space Agency, Project Scientist for Juice. — Next up, we head on out to the Ringed Planet. After staring at Saturn's rings, mouth agape for 22 minutes like James Kirk first seeing the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, we turn our sights to two intriguing worlds — Titan and Enceladus. Titan is best-known for having massive oceans of methane and ethane. However, beneath its crust might also lie oceans of liquid water. With hydrocarbons, organic materials, mineral-rich rocks, and water, Titan could be the home of some intriguing chemistry, and perhaps even bizzare forms of life.Enceladus may be small, but it is the Old Faithful of the solar system, spewing forth geysers of water thousands of kilometers into space. These plumes, recently imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope, are infused with the chemical building blocks of life. Whipping around Saturn once every 33 hours, these eruptions from Enceladus form a giant donut of water encircling the planet. Mmm… Giant Water doughnut… Oh! You like geysers, you say! Well, I happen to know where to find some more. What? No, not Yellowstone. well, kinda. But… You know what? Just follow me. OK — Here we are at the most distant full-fledged planet in the solar system (we think!), Neptune. See its largest moon? Yeah, that troublemaker orbiting in the opposite direction from all the other satellites here. That's Triton. Now, it's wet and cold on Triton, -235 Celsius on average, pretty much the exact opposite of Arizona.[At least it's a wet cold!] MMmm…The surface of Triton is covered in active geysers pushing nitrogen gas into space. This world is home to smooth volcanic plains and pits formed by flows of icy lava — a process known as cryovolcanism. Volcanoes of mineral-rich water on Triton turn the landscape into a cross between Ancient Pompeii and Frozen.Finally, we zoom out to the Kuiper Belt, paying a visit to the dwarf planet with a heart, Pluto!Beneath its rocky crust, Pluto is now thought to house a global ocean, which may be 100 kilometers — or more than 11 Mount Everests — deep. Despite the frigid temperatures this far from the Sun, stress from tidal forces between Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, could keep these oceans warm enough to remain liquid, and perhaps even provide enough energy to spark life.Each of these water worlds provides intriguing landscapes, along with geology, chemistry, and physics which could offer us the greatest finding of all time — the discovery of life on other worlds.Next week on The Cosmic Companion, we take a look at efforts at Coding the Universe. How do we recreate the Universe in computer simulations, and how will artificial intelligence revolutionize our understanding of the Cosmos?

John Mather is a Senior Astrophysicist in the Observational Cosmology Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. He is also the Senior Project Scientist on the James Webb Space Telescope. His research centers on infrared astronomy and cosmology. He was the chief scientist for the Cosmic Background Explorer and received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006 for his precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation.  He has served on advisory and working groups for the National Academy of Sciences, NASA, and the National Science Foundation.    Some interesting insights from this episode: The James Webb Space Telescope uses infrared technology which allows us to see through the dust clouds to see stars being born. “Maybe the formation of life doesn't require a rare and exotic coincidence but maybe it's something that always happens when given the chance.” Like Neil deGrasse Tyson, John visited the Hayden Planetarium as a kid which ignited his early passion for astronomy. He didn't have his entire career mapped out but rather followed his curiosity and said yes when opportunity would present itself. While society holds the theorists in higher regard than the experimentalists like John, that never deterred him. Stephen Hawking called his discovery of hot and cold spots in the cosmic background radiation “The most significant scientific discovery of this century if not of all time.” COBE took 15 years from inception to launch and the James Webb 27 years but John was able to stay the course on both, keeping himself and his teams motivated along the way. His secret to success isn't being the smartest one in the room and always knowing the answer but rather not being afraid to ask others.

By the time they reach middle school, many girls are already convinced that they will not pursue a career in the sciences — at least in the stereotypical sense of the profession. So how can these girls see the potential that a science career holds beyond lab coats and experiments? They meet female scientists in-person whose degrees have led to work in a wide array of positions from communications to project management. In this episode, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith sits down with Project Scientist Founder Sandy Marshall and CoreLogic's Project Scientist Liaison Trish Murray to discuss the link between this non-profit, STEM careers for women and CoreLogic's integral support for this initiative. Interested in supporting Project Scientist? Visit projectscientist.org or corelogic.com to learn more about CoreLogic's investment in STEM.

Speaker: Dr. Ashwin Vasavada, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory For five years, Curiosity explored Gale Crater, one of the most intriguing locations on Mars -- once the site of an ancient lake.  In this talk, the mission's Project Scientist discussed what the rover was capable of and the many things it discovered on and about  the red planet.  In particular, he fills us in on the evidence that ancient Mars, billions of years ago, was much more like the Earth -- with a thicker atmosphere and flowing water on its surface.

If you're like us and most of the Internet, you spent last week goggling at the very first, and absolutely stunning, images from the James Webb Space Telescope. These images lead us right into the most profound questions about the cosmos, and our own existence...and they help to put some of our fights, disagreements, and problems here on this pale blue dot (the kinds of things we normally cover on this show) into some proper perspective. To give us that perspective, our guest is Dr. John Mather, Senior Project Scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope. In 2006, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite (COBE) which helped cement the big-bang theory of the universe. According to the Nobel Prize committee, "the COBE project can also be regarded as the starting point for cosmology as a precision science." In 2007, Mather was listed among Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. ***Note: we had low audio quality on Matt's portion of audio, because when a Nobel Prize winner agrees to come on the show to talk about one of the most exciting stories in the world, you make it work even if one of your hosts is traveling and using sub-standard equipment. We apologize for the slightly hollow sound.***

Current Issues & Challenges affecting how we get healthy, accessible (affordable &available) food while protecting our environment that has to produce the food. For much of human history, most of the world's land was wilderness. But, for the last few centuries, wild habitats have been squeezed out by turning it into agricultural land which supports our food production system. Agriculture is a major use of land. That is the necessary growth of our worlds food sources, plants and animals and their cultivation in order to get to our tables, nourish our bodies and soothe our souls. Half of the world's habitable land is used for agriculture. This leaves only 37% for forests; 11% as shrubs and grasslands; 1% as freshwater coverage; and the remaining 1% a much smaller share than many suspect is built up urban area which includes cities, towns, villages, roads and other human infrastructure. The extensiveness of the agricultural use of our land has a major impact on the earth's environment as it reduces wilderness and threatens diversity of all living things upon the earth as it continues to sustain pressure for more production of food and meat. And, Food has become a prominent focus of US public health policy. The emphasis has been almost exclusively on what Americans eat, I think we are all getting it;, that we are what we eat, food as medicine eat healthy to avoid disease and have better health detection scores. not what is grown or how it is grown. And thus we see why we need to know, and understand, our complicated food system to which each of us in an integral and important member it affect you, you impact it. To help us explore this issue are Ryan Nebeker, Research and Policy Analyst for Food Print and an alum of the Tufts University Nutrition Science program and Sara Garcia, PhD, Project Scientist at the UC Davis Western Institute for Food Safety and Security. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/healthy-radio/support

Episode SummaryFrom the moment we first gazed upon the stars humans have wondered if there is life beyond our own planet. Dr. Kevin Hand, an astrobiologist at NASA, has traveled to the far reaches of our own planet, including to the bottom of the ocean with James Cameron, to learn what life might be like on another planet. Kevin talks with Syd about why we are searching for Goldilocks, how the universe is like a campfire, and the upcoming NASA mission to Europa, in this episode of The Sydcast. Syd Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life. Dr. Kevin HandDr. Kevin P. Hand is a planetary scientist and astrobiologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), where he directs the Ocean Worlds Lab. His research focuses on the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the solar system with an emphasis on moons of the outer solar system that likely harbor liquid water oceans. He is the pre-Project Scientist for NASA's Europa Lander mission concept and was co-chair of the 2016 Europa Lander Science Definition Team. From 2011-2016, Hand served as Deputy Chief Scientist for Solar System Exploration at JPL. His fieldwork has brought him to Antarctica, the Arctic, the depths of Earth's ocean, the glaciers of Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya, and the desert of Namibia. His popular science book, Alien Oceans: The Search for Life in the Depths of Space, was published by Princeton University Press in April of 2020. Insights from this episode:Details on what the search for extraterrestrial life entails and what we are likely to find when life is discovered.Reasons why communication, specifically writing, is important in scientific discovery.Information that can be gained from comparing Earth to other celestial bodies and how that is helping to direct the search.Difficulties that are impeding the search for life including technology, funding, and time.Details on Kevin's work with James Cameron, their exploration of the Earth's oceans, and how what they saw influenced their individual projects.Benefits commercial industries receive from NASA's explorations.Quotes from the show:“When we look at life on Earth, from the most extreme of microbes to the most extreme of human beings, we are all connected by the tree of life. We are all connected by biochemistry.” – Kevin Hand“You need to know how to communicate your scientific arguments, that's not to say writing is the most important thing, but it is an incredibly important skill.” – Kevin Hand“Communication and scientific discovery do not necessarily go hand in hand.” – Syd Finkelstein“If we've learned anything from Earth's biosphere it's that; where you find the liquid water, you generally find life.” – Kevin Hand“A mission to the surface of Europa is not just about searching for life, it's also about understanding oceans as a planetary process.” – Kevin Hand“One of the great things about NASA and this kind of exploration is that, for the most part, it does get broad, bi-partisan support.” – Kevin Hand“What these missions to search for life really do is open the doorway to a much broader scientific community.” – Kevin Hand“It's important to remember that the goal of NASA … is in truly pushing the frontier, daring the mighty things.” – Kevin Hand“I like to think of NASA as a venture capital organization that helps seed innovation at the most extraordinary levels.” – Kevin Hand“I can see the spiritual side of the explorations that you're doing, it's very spiritual.” – Syd FinkelsteinResources:Alien Oceans: The Search for Life in the Depths of Space by Dr. Kevin HandAlien Ocean: NASA's Mission to Europa - YouTubeBouyant Rover for Under Ice Exploration (BRUIE)Stay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The Sydcast Dr. Kevin HandWebsite: https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/Hand/Twitter: @AlienoceansLinkedIn: Kevin HandSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.
