What would you like to see more of? Let us know!In this episode of Discover Daily we explore a new revelation: scientists have discovered that NASA's historic 1986 Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus occurred during an extremely rare solar wind event, leading to decades of potentially misleading assumptions about the ice giant's magnetic environment. The spacecraft encountered Uranus during a powerful solar wind compression that occurs less than 4% of the time, capturing the planet in an unusual state that may have skewed our entire understanding of its magnetosphere.T he compressed state observed during the flyby likely pushed plasma out of the system while intensifying radiation belts, suggesting that Uranus's magnetic environment might be more similar to other gas giants than previously thought. This discovery challenges long-held beliefs about Uranus's "vacuum" magnetosphere and unexpectedly intense radiation belts, indicating these might be temporary features rather than permanent characteristics.This revelation has major implications for future space exploration, particularly in the search for subsurface oceans on Uranian moons. Scientists now believe that Uranus's largest moons, Titania and Oberon, spend most of their time within the planet's magnetic bubble, making future ocean detection missions more feasible than previously thought. The findings will significantly influence how we plan future missions to Uranus, emphasizing the need for extended observation periods rather than brief encounters.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/we-might-be-wrong-about-uranus-12krxS2oQOq.kkW8sici9QPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

When it comes to the end of humanity, there are numerous ways it might come to pass - be it a wayward asteroid, the eruption of a super volcano, the ever-growing presence of Artificial Intelligence in our lives, or the unseen spores of a killer fungus. But which one of these poses the greatest risk? This is the question posed by Jonathan in this very special episode of Futureproof which was recorded in front of a live audience at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre.Joining us to discuss is:Dr. Robert Ross, Senior Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at TU DublinProfessor Chris Bean, Senior Professor and Head of Geophysics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced StudiesProfessor Caitriona Jackman, Senior Professor of Space Physics at Dunsink ObservatoryJerry Clancy, PhD student at the School of Chemical Sciences in DCUDr. Shane Bergin, physicist and an assistant professor in science education at UCD's School of Education & Immunologist, Dr. Lara Dungan, also join Jonathan for this week's Newsround.With thanks to Science Foundation Ireland.

An mRNA Advance Wins A Nobel PrizeThis week, a handful of scientists scattered around the world got surprise telephone calls announcing that they will be receiving Nobel Prizes. On Monday, the prize in medicine or physiology was announced. It went to Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman, scientists who developed the modifications to mRNA that made the biomolecule a viable strategy for creating vaccines. On Tuesday, the Nobel in physics went to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier, who created techniques to illuminate the movement of electrons using attosecond-length pulses of light. And on Wednesday  Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov learned that they had won the prize in chemistry for their work with tiny bits of semiconductor material known as quantum dots.Umair Irfan, staff writer at Vox, joins guest host Flora Lichtman to talk about the winners and their advances, and to share other stories from the week in science, including an FCC fine for a satellite company's space junk, concerns over drought in the Amazon rainforest, and a tale of fighting a coral-threatening algal bloom using hungry crabs. Venus Lightning Debate Gets LitVenus is an inhospitable place. The longest any spacecraft has survived on the planet's surface is thought to be around two hours. It's blazing hot. It has bone-crushing atmospheric pressure and clouds made of sulfuric acid. But is there lightning?Flybys of Venus have detected electromagnetic signals in the radio spectrum called “whistler waves” that, on Earth, are associated with lightning strikes. So some experts speculated that Venus might have lightning too—perhaps a lot of lightning. But there was no hard proof. The question of Venusian lightning has been a topic of electric debate among scientists for some 40 years.A study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters last month used data from the Parker Solar Probe to argue that the whistler waves around Venus may have a different cause. Research scientist Dr. Harriet George and space plasma physicist Dr. David Malaspina of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder join guest host Flora Lichtman to talk about the finding, and what it could tell us about planets elsewhere in the galaxy.   To stay updated on all-things-science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com. 

A House Oversight Committee investigating UFOs featured shocking testimony by seemingly credible sources claiming that alien spacecraft have visited the Earth! Former US Air Force Major, David Grusch…under oath…stated that the United State government is in possession of extraterrestrial bodies. Really, no really? And even more startling is the reaction from the general public, practically nothing. Really, no really? To help us sort through and understand the testimony, the evidence, and the poppycock we invited Dr. Joshua Semeter, the director of the Center for Space Physics at Boston University to join the podcast. Dr Semeter is one of 16 aerial-space experts appointed by NASA, charged with studying UFOs (now known as UAPs - Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.) Over a 9-month period, the team analyzed reports gathered from existing data: declassified footage, commercial data, and other sources to answer the question: Have intelligent aliens visited the Earth? In the episode: The top 3 states aliens like to visit. Would you get on the alien ship? What's with all the crashing? What NASA's panel - investigating UAPs - found. The parallax effect and our brain's ability to understand. Investigating UFOs using the scientific method. Does the infamous Tic-Tac video show something unexplainable? If not aliens, how do you explain the stories, testimony, and encounters? Don't buy stock in the Spacetime paradigm. Dr. Semeter's opinion on Climate Change will get your attention! Area 51…anything there? Outlandish claims and Kate McKinnon's UFO SNL sketch Bigfoot, ghosts, psychic powers, and more of the unexplained. Aliens travel via a propulsion of consciousness?

What do Antarctica, Nepal, South Korea, and rural NE Pennsylvania all have in common? They're all places where Doug Goetz of UC Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics has done fieldwork. From releasing balloons next to an active Air Force base and being followed by helicopters, to close calls with a milk truck turned mobile lab and being extracted from a foreign country after an earthquake, we talked with Doug about why fieldwork is a crucial, and perhaps misunderstood, part of the scientific endeavor. This episode was produced Shane M Hanlon and mixed by Collin Warren. Artwork by Jace Steiner.

NASA's Chief Scientist Dr. Jim Green joins Tim to talk about big plans for the red planet, Mars. Jim has had a long and distinguished career on some of the agency's major research projects and missions that have explored the rest of our solar system, from Mars to Pluto. In this episode, Jim gets into detail on what we have learned, can learn and will learn from Earth's next door neighbor. He uncovers some of the secrets of Mars. This episode was originally released on September 27, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Life_on_Mars.mp3 Next to the Moon and the Sun, the most captivating celestial bodies in our night sky for mankind over thousands and thousands of years has been Mars. The red planet. The fourth rock from the sun. So, it made sense when we started to make plans for space travel, Mars would figure prominently into those plans. As far back as the inception of both the Soviet and American space programs in the late 1950s and early 1960s, space scientist started making plans to explore Mars. By July 4, 1997, NASA was able to land a spacecraft on Mars.  The Mars Pathfinder was launched on December 4th 1996. Six months later, it landed on Mars. The unit featured the first-ever robotic rover that sent an unprecedented amount of data on the planet back to scientists at NASA. After that, there were other missions, which included Mars orbiters, landers, and excavators.  And the United States hasn't been the only country working to explore the planet. The Soviet Union, then Russia, then China, then India, and even the United Arab Emirates have launched missions to Mars. Each time, we learn something new and something significant about Mars. But in the end, there is one question that continues to drive mankind's quest to visit Mars. Is there life on that planet, and if so, what does it look like? Jim Green has worked to find the answers to this and many other questions throughout his career as a scientist at NASA. Links NASA's Mars Exploration Program James L.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, and it's hard to imagine a world more alien and different from Earth. It's known as a Gas Giant, and its diameter is eleven times the size of Earth's: our planet would fit inside it one thousand three hundred times. But its mass is only three hundred and twenty times greater, suggesting that although Jupiter is much bigger than Earth, the stuff it's made of is much, much lighter. When you look at it through a powerful telescope you see a mass of colourful bands and stripes: these are the tops of ferocious weather systems that tear around the planet, including the great Red Spot, probably the longest-lasting storm in the solar system. Jupiter is so enormous that it's thought to have played an essential role in the distribution of matter as the solar system formed – and it plays an important role in hoovering up astral debris that might otherwise rain down on Earth. It's almost a mini solar system in its own right, with 95 moons orbiting around it. At least two of these are places life might possibly be found. With Michele Dougherty, Professor of Space Physics and Head of the Department of Physics at Imperial College London, and principle investigator of the magnetometer instrument on the JUICE spacecraft (JUICE is the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, a mission launched by the European Space Agency in April 2023) Leigh Fletcher, Professor of Planetary Science at the University of Leicester, and interdisciplinary scientist for JUICE Carolin Crawford, Emeritus Fellow of Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, and Emeritus Member of the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge

On August 5, 2022, a plucky little rover named Curiosity celebrated its 10th Anniversary on the surface of Mars. Since being lowered on Mars that summer day it has continued to exceed all mission expectations. For ten years, Curiosity has called Gale Crater and the foothills of Mount Sharp "home," all while wandering around the name of science and traveling nearly 18 miles (29 kilometers) and ascending 2,050 feet (625 meters). What have we been able to learn about Mars during this decade? And what lies ahead for the "Little Rover that Could?" Join us tonight as Dr. Ashwin Vasavada brings piques our "Curiosity" and answers these questions. Dr. Ashwin Vasavada is a planetary scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Currently he is the Project Scientist for NASA's Curiosity rover that began development in 2003 and just completed its tenth year on the surface of Mars. He now leads the international team of scientists as they explore Gale Crater. He also has participated in the operation and analysis of data from several other NASA spacecraft missions, including the Galileo mission to Jupiter, the Cassini mission to Saturn, and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. He holds a B.S. in Geophysics and Space Physics from UCLA and a Ph.D. in Planetary Science from Caltech.

Multi-height Measurements Of The Solar Vector Magnetic Field: A White Paper Submitted To The Decadal Survey For Solar And Space Physics Heliophysics 2024-2033 by L. Bertello et al. on Monday 12 September This white paper advocates the importance of multi-height measurements of the vector magnetic field in the solar atmosphere. As briefly described in this document, these measurements are critical for addressing some of the most fundamental questions in solar and heliospheric physics today, including: (1) What is the origin of the magnetic field observed in the solar atmosphere? (2) What is the coupling between magnetic fields and flows throughout the solar atmosphere? Accurate measurements of the photospheric and chromospheric three-dimensional magnetic fields are required for a precise determination of the emergence and evolution of active regions. Newly emerging magnetic flux in pre-existing magnetic regions causes an increase in the topological complexity of the magnetic field, which leads to flares and coronal mass ejections. Measurements of the vector magnetic field constitute also the primary product for space weather operations, research, and modeling of the solar atmosphere and heliosphere. The proposed next generation Ground-based solar Observing Network Group (ngGONG), a coordinated system of multi-platform instruments, will address these questions and provide large datasets for statistical investigations of solar feature behavior and evolution and continuity in monitoring for space-weather focused endeavors both research and operational. It will also enable sun-as-a-star investigations, crucial as we look toward understanding other planet-hosting stars. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.04453v1

Lynn Bernstein became the first college graduate in her family in 2001 when she earned a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado. She worked her way through college at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics and continued her career at Ball Aerospace. Her experience integrating and testing complex systems on numerous satellites taught her to think critically about processes, procedures, and accountability.She put her engineering career on hold for several years to focus on raising a family. Five years ago while she was in the process of applying to grad school, someone told her they didn't think NC election systems were adequately tested or secure. Intrigued but skeptical, she took an unbiased look at election systems, laws, and practices in North Carolina. Shocked and concerned by what she discovered, she put grad school on hold and founded Transparent Elections NC, a group devoted to ensuring that elections are worthy of the public's trust: they must be understandable, secure, transparent, robustly audited, and publicly verified. When she's not encouraging those in her community to get involved in election integrity, she loves spending time with her family, friends, and nature – hiking, kayaking, and foodscaping.

NASA's Chief Scientist Dr. Jim Green joins Tim to talk about big plans for the red planet, Mars. Jim has had a long and distinguished career on some of the agency's major research projects and missions that have explored the rest of our solar system, from Mars to Pluto. In this episode, Jim gets into detail on what we have learned, can learn and will learn from Earth's nextdoor neighbor. He uncovers some of the secrets of Mars. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Revealing_the_Secrets_of_Mars_auphonic.mp3 Next to the Moon and the Sun, the most captivating celestial bodies in our night sky for mankind over thousands and thousands of years has been Mars. The red planet. The fourth rock from the sun. So, it made sense when we started to make plans for space travel, Mars would figure prominently into those plans. As far back as the inception of both the Soviet and American space programs in the late 1950s and early 1960s, space scientist started making plans to explore Mars. By July 4, 1997, NASA was able to land a spacecraft on Mars.  The Mars Pathfinder was launched on December 4th 1996. Six months later, it landed on Mars. The unit featured the first-ever robotic rover that sent an unprecedented amount of data on the planet back to scientists at NASA. After that, there were other missions, which included Mars orbiters, landers, and excavators.  And the United States hasn't been the only country working to explore the planet. The Soviet Union, then Russia, then China, then India, and even the United Arab Emirates have launched missions to Mars. Each time, we learn something new and something significant about Mars. But in the end, there is one question that continues to drive mankind's quest to visit Mars. Is there life on that planet, and if so, what does it look like? Jim Green has worked to find the answers to this and many other questions throughout his career as a scientist at NASA. Links NASA's Mars Exploration Program James L.

Shannon’s Wild Idea: To work for NASA and spend months aboard the international space station. Shannon Walker first dreamed of becoming an astronaut in the 1960s. After getting her undergraduate degree in physics and her Masters of Science and Doctorate of Philosophy in Space Physics, she got her start with the Rockwell Space Operations Company at the Johnson Space Center in 1987 as a robotics flight controller for the space shuttle program. In 2004, she was selected to be a part of NASA, and six years later she served as a flight engineer for a long-duration mission aboard the International Space Station. Not only did Shannon need to know how to work a spacecraft, but she had to know how to do it in Russian. In addition to spending time far above the earth, she has also spent time below sea level as an aquanaut on the NEEMO, an underwater space station. She also loves the outdoors and has seen earth from a rare perspective so I was excited to get her thoughts on how the planet and the environment are changing.  Shannon and I discussed how she became an astronaut (which I think most people dream about as kids) and she shared her advice for anyone who wants to work at NASA or who wants to go to outer space. We also talked about overcoming rejection, the excitement that comes from actually learning about science, and how there is so much to explore here on earth. Listen to this episode if:  You have ever wanted to go to space. You’re interested in getting a new perspective on our planet. You are focused on achieving a huge, long-term goal and need some inspiration.

Lecture by Professor Fran Bagenal, Co-investigator and Leader of the Plasma Teams for NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto and Juno mission to Jupiter, and Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics, University of Colorado.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the planet Saturn with its rings of ice and rock and over 60 moons. In 1610, Galileo used an early telescope to observe Saturn, one of the brightest points in the night sky, but could not make sense of what he saw: perhaps two large moons on either side. When he looked a few years later, those supposed moons had disappeared. It was another forty years before Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens solved the mystery, realizing the moons were really a system of rings. Successive astronomers added more detail, with the greatest leaps forward in the last forty years. The Pioneer 11 spacecraft and two Voyager missions have flown by, sending back the first close-up images, and Cassini is still there, in orbit, confirming Saturn, with its rings and many moons, as one of the most intriguing and beautiful planets in our Solar System. With Carolin Crawford Public Astronomer at the Institute of Astronomy and Fellow of Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge Michele Dougherty Professor of Space Physics at Imperial College London And Andrew Coates Deputy Director in charge of the Solar System at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at UCL.
