Podcast appearances and mentions of Vera Rubin

Des astronomes slovaques viennent de calculer l'impact sur les observatoires astronomiques de la lumière diffusée par les minuscules débris spatiaux en orbite basse dont la quantité est en croissance exponentielle du fait du déploiement des mégaconstellations de satellites. L'étude est publiée dans Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters.

John and I welcomed DR. Robin Andrews from the UK to discuss planetary defense with us. Robin introduced us to the term "City-Killer" which pertains to the size of an asteroid that could potentially hit and damage Earth. This type of asteroid, were it to hit populated area, could do serious damage and injury to the area of impact. The damage would be considered localized rather than global. Robin provided us with a few examples of such asteroid impacts over history, plus the size of such a rock hitting the Earth would be around 140-160 meters across. Our guest talked about the recent NASA DART mission which sent an ipactor to an asteroid to test if it could be moved, possibly out of the way of hitting Earth. The DART mission was successful. Robin pointed to the U.S. as the main researching entity on such dangerous impacts though he did shout out to ESA and a few other organizations. He was asked about the decision making process to possibly absorb an impact in an area or to evacuate the area, a decision nobody wants to make. Robin was asked questions about rubble pile asteroid along with other kinds of rocks, plus he talked about other potential interceptor missions including nuclear and using the idea of a gravity tractor to tow the asteroid out of the way. Robin supported others in this field by saying the warning time to get involved in defending Earth from an incoming rock was critical as we needed to get to the potential dangerous asteroid when it was still fairly far from Earth. In the second part of our program, John asked Robin what he would do with an unlimited budget for planetary defense. Robin spoke to having infrared observations, testing nuclear interceptors and having rockets and missions on standby if needed bo te used. He commented on existing and soon to be existing hardware that would be useful in the search for the "City-Killer." Vera Rubin was one such tool he mentioned. When asked if a nuclear interceptor might trigger an EMP, he said no because the nuclear explosion would be millions of miles from Earth.

Vera Rubin Telescope (aka LSST) is finally ready. We're expecting first light in the coming months. It will find Planet 9 (if it exists), discover thousands of new asteroids, millions of new supernovae and will change the way we do astronomy with its surveys of the night sky. Here's how it will do all that.

Is gravity infinite? Did the dinosaurs feel the effects of the asteroid before it crashed? How long would the ISS survive without support? Would potential life on K2-18b be trapped in their gravity well? And in our Q&A+ edition, is Vera Rubin telescope DOGE-proof? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

The ladies are PUMPED to bring you two amazing stories filled with controversy, inhabitable landscapes, and DIY surgery! First, Emily tells the harrowing story of Dr. Jerri Nielsen FitzGerald who, after a messy divorce, decided to get away from it all- by going to the bottom of the world to be a doctor at an Antarctic research station. But when Dr. Jerri herself was in need of medical attention, it was up to her and a battle promotion crew to keep her alive. Kelley returns to her roots to cover the celestial Vera Rubin who studied the space and stars and, despite all of her efforts to avoid it, was the center of controversy throughout her career and still today. Wrap your lips around a delicious Robby Ruben and remember, you're star stuff, because we're wining about herstory! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's by George Budwell and featured on finance.yahoo.com. Here are a few quotes on what he says about each of his recommendations. “1. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has established a dominant position as the leader in AI hardware and software, with CEO Jensen Huang recently declaring that the ‘vast majority' of AI inference runs on their platforms. Despite being down 12.3% year to date, Nvidia shares now trade at 26.2 times forward earnings, a historically low multiple that creates an attractive entry point for this wide-moat business. The company roadmap includes Blackwell Ultra arriving later this year, followed by Vera Rubin in 2026 and Rubin Ultra in 2027, providing a clear growth trajectory… While several tech giants are investing in custom chips and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is developing competing GPUs, Nvidia's unified hardware and software ecosystem and expansion into new AI domains position it to maintain market leadership for years to come. This combination of technical leadership, ecosystem lock-in, and strategic expansion into emerging areas makes Nvidia an essential infrastructure provider for the entire AI revolution. 2. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has evolved into a technology powerhouse, with business lines spanning from advertising to cloud computing and AI. Despite being down 12.7% year to date, the search titan's stock trades at just 18.6 times forward earnings, offering compelling value in the ultra-high-growth tech sector. While Google Search remains the primary revenue driver, Alphabet is investing heavily in AI to improve its search capabilities and bolster its competitive positions in cloud computing, agentic AI, and robotics… Though regulatory scrutiny remains a concern regarding its search dominance, the company's diverse capabilities across digital advertising, cloud infrastructure, and AI development position it as a cornerstone technology investment with multiple growth vectors beyond its core search business. So, if you're building an AI-themed portfolio, Alphabet scans as an essential stock to own. 3. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is a leader in cloud infrastructure and AI, driven by its Azure platform and strategic partnership with OpenAI. Following a 7.2% year-to-date decline, the tech giant's shares trade at 26.1 times forward earnings, presenting an attractive entry point into this high-growth sector. Microsoft stock, after all, was trading at over 35 times forward earnings around this time last year… With cloud adoption accelerating and AI integration expanding across its product suite, Microsoft is exceptionally well positioned for sustained growth. As a result, this tech stock represents a core play in both cloud infrastructure and large-scale AI deployment, making it a cornerstone holding for AI investors.” End quotes. -------------------------------------------------------------- One additional article link Title: 10 Pro-Life Companies to Invest In Now on insidermonkey.com.

Scientists have just made an incredible discovery—a possible dark matter star right in our own galaxy! Unlike normal stars, this one might be powered by mysterious dark matter instead of nuclear fusion. If true, it could change everything we know about space and how the universe works. Dark matter is something we can't see, but it makes up most of the universe, and this star might finally help us understand it. Astronomers are still studying it, but this could be one of the biggest space discoveries ever. Stay tuned, because the universe just got a lot more mysterious!

Hey, it's Alex, coming to you fresh off another live recording of ThursdAI, and what an incredible one it's been! I was hoping that this week will be chill with the releases, because of NVIDIA's GTC conference, but no, the AI world doesn't stop, and if you blinked this week, you may have missed 2 or 10 major things that happened. From Mistral coming back to OSS with the amazing Mistral Small 3.1 (beating Gemma from last week!) to OpenAI dropping a new voice generation model, and 2! new whisper killer ASR models with a Breaking News during our live show (there's a reason we're called ThursdAI) which we watched together and then dissected with Kwindla, our amazing AI VOICE and real time expert. Not to mention that we also had dedicated breaking news from friend of the pod Joseph Nelson, that came on the show to announce a SOTA vision model from Roboflow + a new benchmark on which even the top VL models get around 6%! There's also a bunch of other OSS, a SOTA 3d model from Tencent and more! And last but not least, Yam is back

La matière noire reste l'une des plus grandes énigmes de l'astrophysique moderne. Invisible, elle représente pourtant environ 25 % de l'univers, influençant la formation des galaxies et la structure cosmique. Depuis sa première détection indirecte en 1930 par Fritz Zwicky, puis confirmée par Vera Rubin en 1970 grâce aux courbes de rotation des galaxies, cette matière insaisissable défie toutes nos théories. Jusqu'ici, les hypothèses se concentraient sur des particules exotiques comme les WIMPs ou les axions, mais une nouvelle découverte pourrait tout changer. Au centre de la Voie Lactée, un nuage d'hydrogène ionisé de façon inexplicable intrigue les chercheurs. Aucune source d'énergie connue – ni supernovae, ni rayons cosmiques, ni Sagittarius A* – ne semble pouvoir expliquer ce phénomène. Une hypothèse fascinante émerge : et si cette ionisation était due à une nouvelle forme de matière noire ? Contrairement aux WIMPs, cette variante plus légère pourrait interagir différemment avec la matière ordinaire, s'annihilant et libérant de l'énergie sous forme de particules chargées. Si confirmé, ce scénario révolutionnerait notre compréhension de l'univers et nous rapprocherait peut-être enfin de l'identification de cette substance énigmatique.

Dr. Ed Lu, Executive Director of the Asteroid Institute, a program of B612 Foundation was our guest. We started out discussing the asteroid YR-4 which has a chance of hitting Earth around 2030. Ed spent time talking about this rock, how the calculations for a hit are determined, orbits, programs and possible methods plus timing of deflecting it. This discussion was a major part of our program and one you do not want to miss. Other topics talked about including the ADAM Platform (Asteroid Discovery Analysis and Mapping) which is Open Source so anyone can use it for tracking an asteroid. Ed explained in detail, also what it is doing re YR-4. We got a few callers with multiple questions plus emails. Also mentioned were the telescopes being used including the JWST and the upcoming Vera Rubin in Chile. He was asked about the NASA Surveyor project which will be online in the near future.

Previously the only way to image black holes was with the Event Horizon Telescope, a combination of many radio telescopes across the globe. It is complicated and time-consuming. But with Vera Rubin going online soon, there might be a simpler way to observe black holes with a single telescope using a really clever method.

For many of us, dark matter and dark energy are two of the least understood areas of cosmology and astrophysics. This week, we invited Alina Kiessling and Jason Rhodes, both Research Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, to explain these concepts and their broader implications for cosmology, exoplanet research, and more. Both of them are working on major space telescope projects to research "dark physics," as they will explain. Guest co-host Isaac Arthur asks compelling, comprehensive questions about physics and cosmology while Rod asks things like "is dark energy dangerous?" because, let's face it, someone has to ask the dumb questions. Join us for the fascinating deep dive into dark forces! Headlines: Chinese rocket startup Space Pioneer accidentally launched a rocket during a static ground test, highlighting the unpredictable nature of rocketry. SpaceX and Jared Isaacman's Polaris Dawn mission, set for July 34th, 2024, aims to conduct the first private spacewalk and set a new orbital altitude record of 870 miles. NASA announced that Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is in good enough condition to stay at the International Space Station for at least 45 days despite ongoing investigations into malfunctioning thrusters and helium leaks. Main Topic - Understanding the Darkness: Guests Jason Rhodes and Alina Kiessling, both Research Scientists and Astrophysicists at JPL, share their backgrounds and how they met through their shared passion for cosmology. The universe's composition, with dark matter and dark energy making up 95% of its content. Exploring the history of dark matter discovery, from Fritz Zwicky's observations in the 1930s to Vera Rubin's groundbreaking work in the 1960s and 70s. The differences between dark matter and dark energy, their effects on the universe's structure, and the challenges in studying them. The "cosmological crisis" or Hubble tension, which arises from discrepancies between early and late universe measurements. Upcoming space telescope missions, including Euclid, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and the Vera Rubin Observatory, are highlighted as crucial tools for advancing our understanding of dark matter and dark energy. The potential need for new physics to explain current observations is explored, with the guests expressing excitement about the possibility of groundbreaking discoveries. Exoplanet research: discussing how the Roman Space Telescope will use microlensing and coronagraphy techniques to detect and study distant worlds. The potential for detecting biosignatures on exoplanets, with a focus on identifying signs of life through spectroscopic analysis.Jason and Alina's advice for aspiring astrophysicists, emphasizing the growing importance of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the field. Finally, a lighthearted discussion of the guests' personal lives and travel experiences, highlighting the balance between their professional and family commitments.
