The first solar flare ever observed was also by far the biggest yet seen. But such a monster storm will happen again. And when it does, it’s unlikely that even a single spacecraft in Earth orbit will come out unscathed. And many could be destroyed. The benchmark storm so far was the Carrington Event. It was observed by British astronomer Richard Carrington, in 1859. He saw a brilliant flash of light erupt from a dark sunspot. The eruption produced beautiful displays of the northern and southern lights. It also zapped telegraph wires, disrupting transmissions and even starting fires in some stations. Scientists at the European Space Agency recently simulated what would happen to satellites if such a monster storm hit us today. They concluded that it would be bad – really bad. Over a period of about a day, GPS systems would fail. Satellite instruments would glitch or fail, entire satellites would be destroyed, and some ground stations would be knocked out. Earth’s outer atmosphere would expand dramatically, dragging satellites down. That would increase the risk of collisions, and reduce the time in orbit for any survivors. Operators can take some actions to protect their satellites. But that requires good forecasts of space weather. And future satellites could be equipped with better shielding. Even with those precautions, though, no satellite would be unaffected by the fury of a monster storm on the Sun. Script by Damond Benningfield

This rocket is a rideshare to space for small satellites. We are the Uber and Lyft of low-earth orbit spacelift.这枚火箭可以让小卫星搭便车进入太空。我们是低地球轨道太空运输的传送者。Instead of passengers, the Rocket Lab vehicle carries small satellites.火箭实验室运载的是小型卫星, 而不是乘客。This is the amount of space each rocket has for satellites. It's about the size of the back of a pickup truck or the trunk of an SUV.这是每枚火箭为卫星预留的空间,大约相当于皮卡车或SUV的后备箱。Just like packing different sized suitcases for a trip, the number of satellites on each rocket varies depending on the size and type.就像旅行时打包不同大小的行李箱一样,每枚火箭上搭载的卫星数量也取决于大小和类型。The satellites can be as small as a tissue box, or as big as a dishwasher.卫星可以小到纸巾盒大小, 或者和洗碗机一样大。Rocket Lab's Lars Hoffman says, unlike some other rockets on the market, Rocket Lab's vehicle is smaller, and comes with some advantages for satellite delivery.火箭实验室的拉尔斯·霍夫曼表示,与市场上其他一些火箭不同,火箭实验室的运载火箭体积更小,在卫星运输方面具有一些优势。If they ride with a larger launch vehicle, it's more like riding a city bus, where it is a little bit different riding.如果它们搭载在更大的运载火箭上,就更像是乘坐城市公交车,体验会略有不同。You may not be dropped off exactly where you want to be. For us, where that custom ride takes you exactly where you want to be.你可能不会被准确传送到想去的地方。对我们来说,定制的乘坐路线会带你到达想去的地方。Once in low-earth orbit, the satellites are either released or stay attached to a section of the spacecraft called a Photon, which can stay in orbit and becomes its own satellite.一旦进入低地球轨道,卫星要么被释放,要么附着在名为“光子”的航天器部件上。光子可以留在轨道上,成为独立的卫星。Commercial customers and US government agencies want to put satellites in low-earth orbit for different reasons.商业客户和美国政府机构出于各种原因希望将卫星送入低地球轨道。The communications, earth observation, maybe they're taking images, maybe they're tracking radio signals, tracking ships.通讯、地球观测、 也许他们还可以拍照, 或者追踪无线电信号和船只。We build all of our rockets from scratch. We do print the engines using 3D printers.我们所有的火箭都是从零开始制造的。我们使用3D打印机打印发动机。Rocket Lab says the engines weighing 35 kilograms are the first 3D printed and electric-pump-fed engines launched to space.火箭实验室表示,这些重达35公斤的发动机是首批进入太空的3D打印电动泵送发动机。The rocket bodies are made of carbon fiber composite, and are manufactured in New Zealand by the same people who build boats.火箭主体由碳纤维复合材料制成,在新西兰由造船的同一团队制造。The vehicle is then assembled in New Zealand, and launched from there once a month.火箭随后在新西兰组装,每月从那里发射一次。Hoffmann expects to launch more rockets in the future, as the demand for satellites in low-earth orbit increases, for faster communications and Internet connection.随着对低地球轨道卫星的需求不断增长,为了实现更快的通信和互联网连接,霍夫曼预计未来将发射更多火箭。
North Dakota State Climatologist Daryl Ritcheson joins the show for his annual check-in about the climate (our fourth???) - He and Jacob revisit last year's forecast misses and hits before diving into 2026. They explore the transition from La Niña to El Niño, implications for U.S. agriculture, hurricane risk in the Gulf, and crop prospects in South America and the Black Sea. The discussion then widens into a candid debate over sea level rise, extreme weather trends, and climate data interpretation...

For review:1. Iran on Thursday repeated its assertion that no country can “deprive” it of its “right” to nuclear enrichment, as US President Donald Trump continued to send US military assets into the Middle East in what a report called the biggest build-up of American air power in the region since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.2. WSJ Report: US President Donald Trump is considering launching preliminary limited strikes on Iran with the aim of forcing the Islamic Republic to agree to his demands for a nuclear deal.3. US President Donald Trump warned Iran on Thursday that it must reach a deal over its nuclear program or “bad things” will happen, and appeared to set a 10-15 day deadline before the US might take action.4. Iran tells UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that Tehran will consider bases, facilities and assets of the “hostile force” in the region as legitimate targets if it faces military aggression.5. Satellite images show that Iran has recently built a concrete shield over a new facility at a sensitive military site and covered it in soil.In addition, images show that Iran has buried tunnel entrances at a nuclear site bombed by the US during Israel's 12-day war with Iran last June, fortified tunnel entrances near another, and has repaired missile bases struck in the conflict.6. Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday issued a sharp threat to Tehran's leaders, should they fire missiles at Israel.“We are prepared for any scenario.” “And one thing is certain — if the ayatollahs make a mistake and attack us, they will face a response they can't even imagine.”7. A wave of Israeli airstrikes in several areas of southern Lebanon early Thursday morning targeted Hezbollah weapon depots, missile launchers, and other military sites, the Israel Defense Forces said.8. President Trump Hosts Board of Peace Inaugural Meeting in Washington D.C.
Marine Protected Areas are expanding faster than ever, but new research raises an uncomfortable question: are they actually protecting top predators? Satellite tracking of silky sharks shows that even inside designated protected zones, highly migratory species frequently move into heavily fished waters. If sharks cross invisible boundaries every day, how effective are those boundaries in the first place? Shark conservation and ocean governance collide when industrial fishing fleets concentrate along MPA borders and enforcement resources struggle to keep up. Studies reveal that some protected areas allow extractive activities, while others lack the monitoring capacity needed to deter illegal or unregulated fishing. The result: declining shark populations in places that are supposed to be safe havens. Ocean science and policy must align if marine protection is going to work. This episode examines the silky shark case, border fishing pressure, enforcement gaps, and the growing debate over whether some MPAs are delivering real conservation outcomes or simply drawing lines on a map. Follow the show to stay informed on the science shaping the future of our ocean.

Marine Protected Areas are expanding worldwide, but new research shows that protection on paper does not always translate to protection in reality. Satellite tracking of silky sharks reveals that highly mobile predators regularly cross MPA boundaries into heavily fished waters, exposing serious enforcement gaps. When fishing fleets concentrate along invisible ocean borders, even large reserves struggle to deliver real conservation outcomes. Shark conservation and ocean governance are at the center of this story. Studies published in peer-reviewed journals and vessel tracking data from Global Fishing Watch show that industrial fishing pressure can persist inside or along the edges of protected zones. Weak enforcement, multi-use designations, and migratory behavior create loopholes that undermine top predator recovery. Ocean policy and enforcement gaps raise a bigger question: if marine protection exists only on a map, does it count? This episode examines silky sharks as a case study, then expands to global MPA effectiveness, industrial fishing pressure, and what true protection should look like in the open ocean.

Cutting carbon is a global hot potato!
Eighteen hours before my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny first spotted a small space rock with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona it had passed less than the Earth's diameter from the surface of our planet. Rose was able to discover this Smart Car sized space rock after it moved out of the Sun's glare. At this point it was about the Moon's distance from her and was traveling away at 3.4 mi/s. After Rose posted her discovery observations on the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object Confirmation page, for the next 24 hours it was tracked by telescopes in Spain, Illinois, and Arizona. Scientists at the Minor Planet Center used these data to calculate it's orbit around the Sun, estimate it's size and give it the name 2017 UJ2. This small asteroid had come near the Earth in 1978 but was invisible to the technology which astronomers had available at the time. 2017 UJ2 will not come close enough for us to detect in the foreseeable future, however, there are likely to be tens of millions of others like it which can come close to Earth. A small asteroid the size of Rose's discovery is likely to enter our atmosphere at least once a year and explodes at about 4 times higher than airliners fly. If such an event happened at night and you were lucky enough to see it you would be treated to a fantastic light show. If you are as lucky as a power ball winner you might even be able to find a piece of it on the ground.

The Earth's atmosphere does a good job of protecting humanity from space weather, however, occasionally a major event does break through our shield and gets our attention. Tree rings and ice cores have recorded past space weather events thousands of time larger than which have occurred in the modern age. investing in research seems wise.

Episode #484: In Myanmar, landmine contamination has often been attributed to relics of World War 2 or past conflicts. “But in Myanmar today, landmines are not a historical problem,” Nyein Nyein Thant Aung says. “[Landmines] are like a living system of control that continues to shape how people move, walk, and survive. They don't appear in dramatic footage, they don't require constant supervision, yet they often have a longer and deeper impact on a civilian life than more visible forms of violence.”Another misconception is that landmines are primarily defensive. Yet the strategic use by the Myanmar military is offensive, not only against military targets but civilians, she says, emptying villages, closing roads, blocking access to water and food, and making land unusable.The dynamic nature of the conflict, and pattern of opposing sides learning from the other's tactics, is also apparent in the evolution of the drone war. Nyein Nyein Thant Aung divides the military's drone use into different phases, beginning with their deployment in Kachin and Rakhine in 2016-2018 focusing on surveillance and reconnaissance. After Operation 1027 inflicted losses on its positions in 2023, the military began using dual-use drones as weapons platforms, copying tactical innovation demonstrated by resistance armed groups.These patterns of innovation and adoption are typical of present-day conflicts generally, Nyein Nyein Thant Aung says, with emerging tactics and technologies crossing borders. Foreign collaboration with the military in space and cyber affects both military domains and control of information spaces. Satellite technology provides imaging and coordinates in the military theater, giving a strategic advantage and guiding airstrikes, as well as control over communications channels.There are lessons from landmines that reflect on the wider, multidimensional conflict. “This is not an argument that landmines are culturally inevitable or accepted. Fear and resentment toward mines are widespread,” Nyein Nyein Thant Aung says. “The presence of landmines does not imply a strategic sophistication. So often it reflects insecurity rather than control… Being precise about these limits is important.”

Everyone remembers the dog who died early in space exploration. Almost no one remembers the Paris alley cat who came home. This is the true story of Félicette — the forgotten cat of the Space Race.Everyone remembers Laika — the Soviet space dog who never came home.Almost no one remembers Félicette — a Paris alley cat who rode a rocket launch into space, survived the mission, and quietly disappeared into history.In 1963, at the height of the Cold War, a small, overlooked nation launched a different kind of spaceflight. No propaganda. No spectacle. Just disciplined space science and a stray cat chosen for her neurological precision.This is the forgotten story of the Space Race's most unlikely passenger — and what history chose to remember instead.If this stayed with you, you probably know someone else who might appreciate it.________________________________________Chapters (Timestamps)00:00 - Spaceflight Testing01:28 - The Animals Who Went First02:04 - A Different Animal03:43 - A Necessary Ending04:12 - An Ounce________________________________________“The Accidentally Invented World”A companion episode about how progress often comes from unnoticed, uncelebrated moments — and why history remembers the wrong things. https://youtu.be/cx7qyVf5g3k________________________________________References (Plain-Text URLs + Context)French Space Agency (CNES) — Official history of early spaceflighthttps://cnes.frAstérix Satellite (1965) — France's first orbital launchhttps://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=1965-096AFélicette mission summary — Véronique AGI flighthttps://www.space.com/15488-french-cat-space-felicette.htmlCold War animal space programs (US & USSR)https://www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/news/FactSheets/FS-014-DFRC.html

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde breaks down the week of Feb 2–8, 2026, when an ancient idea, the Olympic Truce, collided with modern reality: AI-built platforms leaking identities, satellites and cyber defenses becoming battlefield "terrain," sanctions escalating into lawfare, and ceasefire language clashing with ongoing violence. What happens when "trust" becomes the scarcest resource online? Who controls connectivity in war zones: states or private networks? When do sanctions stop being diplomacy and start reshaping international justice? And in an era of drones, deepfakes, and cyberattacks, what does a "truce" even mean?On the Bid Picture Podcast, I talk about big ideas, and Lembrih is one of them. Born from Ghanaian roots, Lembrih is building an ethical marketplace for Black and African artisans: makers of heritage-rich products often overlooked online. The vision is simple: shop consciously, empower communities, and share the stories behind the craft. Lembrih is live on Kickstarter now, and your pledge helps build the platform.

In an area which is about 1/400th of the entire sky, the NASA Kepler spacecraft has discovered 30 Earth like planets which are likely to have liquid water on their surfaces orbiting distant stars. These planets are likely to represent a tiny sample of the habitable planets which exist in the Milky Way. In spite of our efforts to find them, the question remains where are the alien civilizations? In a recent talk given at the Division of Planetary Sciences meeting Dr. Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute suggests that perhaps the majority of worlds with biology and intelligent civilizations exist on interior water ocean worlds where their existence is hidden by the thick layers of rock and ice which separate them from the hostile vacuum of space. We know that in our solar system alone the moon of Jupiter Europa, Saturn's moon Enceladus, and perhaps several other small worlds are likely to have oceans of nutrient rich liquid water covered by a thick layer of rock and ice. We also know that Whales and Dolphins have larger brains than humans, communicate with each other, and exhibit other forms of intelligence. Advanced civilizations existing in ice covered seas may know little of the greater Universe, may find it difficult to consider transporting enough water to travel beyond their worlds, and may not think that it is possible to communicate with others of their kind who are similarly hidden under miles and miles of radiation absorbing ice and rock.
