March 20, 2024: Solar Science: What Causes a Solar Eclipse

Prescott Valley Public Library has been awarded a grant from the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records for Solar Science Kits! The solar kits have been added to the Library of Things catalog and are available for checkout. Solar science kits contain a Sunspotter, Solar Science board, activity packets, books, solar crafts, and eclipse resources. On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada In North America, we will experience an incredible natural event that has been dubbed the Great North American Eclipse. A total solar eclipse happens... For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/prescott-valley-public-library-provide-solar-kits-for-upcoming-eclipse/Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

Look out for a total solar eclipse, more solar flares, and the Parker Solar Probe's closest approach to the sun. Also, underground hydrogen stores have raised renewable energy hopes, but can the industry overcome the logistical hurdles of distributing it?Solar Activity Flares Up In 2024Look out 2024—this is going to be the sun's year (for science, at least). There will be a total solar eclipse on April 8, and scientists are seeking volunteers to help them observe the event. Researchers also expect an uptick in solar activity—that means more sunspots and solar flares, which could increase the amount of auroras the Earth experiences and also might disrupt satellites and power systems on the ground. Plus, NASA's Parker Solar probe is on track to make its closest pass to the sun yet in December, a mere 3.8 million miles from its surface.Umair Irfan, staff writer with Vox, sits down with Ira to talk about these and other science stories from this week, including why greenhouse gas emissions might actually start to fall this year, research showing that apes are able to recognize each other after decades apart, and the discovery of an enzyme that makes your pee yellow.Could Underground Hydrogen Reserves Put Clean Energy Within Reach?In 1987, a crew in the village of Bourakébougou, Mali, was digging for water. After drilling 108 meters deep, they still hadn't found any, but the resulting borehole produced a steady stream of wind. When a driller lit a cigarette near the hole, the wind ignited, burning the worker. It took weeks for the crew to put out the blue flame, which produced no smoke, and they eventually capped the hole. It remained sealed until 2012 when a local oil and gas company reexamined it and found that the original crew had stumbled upon an underground store of naturally occurring hydrogen. They converted a Ford engine to burn the gas and soon connected it to a generator, providing electricity for the village.Hydrogen has long been touted as a source of renewable energy with the potential to replace fossil fuels to power transportation and factories. When burned, its only output is water—with no carbon emissions—making it extremely attractive as a clean energy source. But producing commercial hydrogen involves splitting water molecules into their hydrogen and oxygen components, an energy-intensive process typically powered by fossil fuels.But splitting water isn't the only way to get hydrogen: It also occurs naturally in underground reservoirs when water heated by the planet's mantle mixes with iron-rich rocks. The oil and gas industry hasn't prioritized the search for these underground stores of hydrogen, but more of them have been found lately, including a potentially massive one in Lorraine, France that was discovered last year.Dr. Geoffrey Ellis, a research geologist at the United States Geological Survey, joins Ira to talk about hydrogen's potential as a clean fuel, why finding stores of it has been a lower priority than finding oil and natural gas, and the hurdles the industry faces as it aims to expand.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

  Have you ever wondered how the sun works, how it keeps the world alive? Postdoctoral research fellow at UKZN's astrophysics research Centre Dr Sinenhlanhla Sikhosana joins Clement to talk about the science behind the sun and the earth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Sun can unleash violent “space weather” -- storms that can radiate X-rays and even gamma rays into space, send giant clouds of magnetic plasma slamming into the Earth and other planets, and spray firehoses of charged particles throughout interplanetary space. On Earth, we are mostly protected from the Sun's wrath by our magnetic field and atmosphere, but astronauts venturing to the Moon and Mars will be vulnerable to these potentially deadly solar storms. Dr. Tom Berger (University of Colorado) discusses our current understanding of the interplanetary space environment, describes some extreme space weather events in history, and examines how well we can currently predict space weather and its impacts.  Recorded Dec. 7, 2022.Tom Berger is the Executive Director of the University of Colorado's Space Weather Technology, Research, and Education Center, which combines traditional space physics research with technology and education to bridge the wide gap between research on the Sun and operational space weather forecasting. He was formerly the director of NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, helped develop the world's largest solar telescope on the island of Maui (the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope), and has been a co-investigator on international missions to study changes in the Sun's magnetic field.

This unique solar shield uses a new material capable of reflecting 99% of the light it receives from the Sun.

On this week's episode: My guest, an expert in Solar Science, doesn’t take well to people telling her how to live her life.  Instead, she appears to have it all and achieved that in part, with compromise, but also by surrounding herself with nurturing and supportive people.  She believes she has developed empathy for others, by going through similar struggles.  This week's show is about enjoying your own femininity and being comfortable in your own skin.  Despite what most people think: being different is NOT a weakness and there are always advantages gained from hardship.

It's 10 Years since an unusual skeleton was unearthed on the island of Flores. This species, Homo floresiensis, dubbed 'the Hobbit' because of its short stature, offered a whole new picture of human evolution and has been causing divisions among scientists ever since. Lucie visits Professor Chris Stringer in the Natural History Museum to pick over the bones of a controversial find. Tall parents tend to have tall children. We already know that height is genetic. Less well known is how various genes control the growing process. Recent research from the University of Exeter found nearly 700 genetic variants that play a role in influencing a person's height. Professor Tim Frayling, a lead author, explains how the work, which involve scanning more than a quarter of a million genomes, could help with disease, forensics and predicting a child's adult height. Great ball of fire. The Sun throws out more than just light and heat; for solar scientists, it is also a source of many mysteries. Why is the surface of the sun less hot than its corona, or outer atmosphere? New research using the NASA satellite telescope, IRIS, or the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph is providing new insights. Earlier this month, a group of more than 100 snail experts (malacologists) from across Europe gathered in Cambridge to discuss the latest research into molluscs - the group of animals that includes everything from squid and octopus in the seas to slugs and snails on land. After three days of lectures, the malacologists were let loose in the Cambridge Botanic Gardens. Reporter Helen Scales went with them on a snail hunt. Producer - Fiona Roberts.
