Podcast appearances and mentions of Vera Rubin

Il commence ses observations, déjà de nombreuses découvertes...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has shared its first public images, revealing millions of galaxies, stars, and asteroids in stunning detail. Stephanie Deppe, astronomy content strategist at Rubin Observatory, joins us to explain what makes these images so revolutionary, how the observatory works, and what’s coming next as Rubin prepares for its ten-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Later in the show, we reflect on the life and legacy of the observatory’s namesake, Vera Rubin, the groundbreaking astronomer who provided the first convincing evidence of dark matter. Jess Soto, STEM Strategies Coordinator at Mount Wilson Observatory and creator of Science Women Shirts, reflects on Rubin’s efforts to open up opportunities for women in space science. Then we close out the show with Bruce Betts in our regular What’s Up segment, featuring the discovery of a brand-new interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, the third known object to travel through our Solar System from interstellar space.

Will there be a northern hemisphere version of Vera Rubin? Or maybe we can put one straight in space? Can Vera Rubin detect alien spacecraft if they ever visit? And if it finds planet 9, how fast will we be sending a mission there? And in Q&A+, how many planets will be out there if we reinstate Pluto as one? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

Episode: 3318 Vera C. Rubin: The astronomer who brought dark matter to light.  Today, meet Vera Rubin.

You may have seen the recently released ‘first images' from the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile. The images are stunning and portend a new level of scientific data expanding our knowledge of the Universe. However, what do you know about Vera Rubin?

Which type of planet that's not in the Solar System is the most interesting? Can we detect an interstellar black hole? Should science journalists report about non-conventional science theories? And in our extended Q&A+ version, will the success of Vera Rubin stimulate building a northern hemisphere version of it?

Durante a formação estelar, milhões de objetos são lançados pelo espaço, formado por detritos até planetas inteiros, e alguns acabam cruzando ou sendo capturados por outros sistemas. Estima-se que cerca de 50 milhões desses visitantes passem pelo nosso Sistema Solar anualmente, mas só conseguimos identificar três até hoje. Entre eles, o famoso 'Oumuamua. O Vera C. Rubin, promete mudar isso, rastreando até 70 objetos interestelares por ano com precisão inédita. Afinal, cada estrela tem sua própria assinatura química. E se um desses objetos for algo construído, não criado?

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has started making observations with the world's largest optical detector boasting over 3 billion pixels at the back of an enormous telescope in the high Andes. We take a look at some of the early discoveries and look ahead to what's in store for this enormous project as it plans to scan the sky hundreds of times at unprecedented detail over the course of the next decade. Plus: astronomy trivia, science hot takes, and more.

Depuis que les premières exoplanètes ont été détectées dans les années 1990, nous avons découvert un univers peuplé de mondes fascinants : géantes gazeuses incandescentes, pluies de métal, planètes océans ou solides comme du diamant… et aujourd'hui, des mondes gelés. Dans cette vidéo, nous explorons la récente prouesse du télescope James Webb, qui a capturé la première image directe de la planète glacée 14 Herculis c. Nous reviendrons sur les méthodes d'observation – transits, vitesses radiales, imagerie, spectroscopie – qui permettent de décrire ces environnements lointains.Nous plongerons dans la nouveauté de ces mondes : WASP‑76 b où il pleut du fer à 2 400 °C, 55 Cancri e, potentiellement un monde de carbone avec du diamant, HD 189733b balayée par des vents de verre, Kepler‑16 b qui danse entre deux soleils, et le compact système TRAPPIST‑1 avec sa planète TRAPPIST‑1e dans la zone habitable. Puis, nous reviendrons aux côtés de 14 Herculis c pour comprendre ce que JWST nous révèle sur son atmosphère froide, son orbite chaotique et sa place dans l'évolution planétaire.Enfin, cette découverte marque un tournant : JWST ouvre l'ère des mondes glacés observés directement. Nous évoquerons les enjeux à venir, les futurs télescopes (Vera Rubin, ARIEL…) et ce que tout cela nous apprend sur la singularité ou la banalité de la Terre dans la galaxie.

W 1933 Fritz Zwicky zaproponował istnienie ciemnej materii dla wyjaśnienia wyjątkowo szybkiego ruchu galaktyk z gromady Coma. Później, w latach 70., niezależne dowody dostarczyła astronomka Vera Rubin. Czym jednak jest ciemna materia i energia? Na zbadanie tego, co niewidzialne dla teleskopów i – co równie ważne – niemal ciągły monitoring południowego nieba ma pozwolić uruchomione właśnie Obserwatorium im. Very Rubin w Chile. O nowym obiekcie, stojących przed projektem wyzwaniach i nadziejach, jakie wiążą z nim naukowcy, mówi prof. Paweł Pietrukowicz z Obserwatorium Astronomicznego Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego.

El observatorio Vera Rubin ha ofrecido sus primeras y espectaculares imágenes del firmamento. Este gigantesco telescopio, situado en Chile, está equipado con una cámara de 3.200 megapíxeles, la mayor del mundo. En solo una noche ha descubierto 2.000 asteroides, la décima parte de todos los hallados por el resto de telescopios en un año. Durante la próxima década se encargará de mapear el universo en movimiento, con una sensibilidad, escala y velocidad nunca vistas hasta el momento, abriendo una nueva era en la astronomía. Hemos entrevistado al cosmólogo Juan García-Bellido Capdevila, catedrático de Física Teórica en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, investigador del Instituto de Física Teórica (CSIC/UAM) y miembro de la Real Academia de Ciencias. Alejandro Muñoz nos ha informado de un proyecto europeo liderado por el CSIC para desarrollar un sistema de alerta temprana para prevenir la mortalidad de pinares y encinares. Con testimonios de Alberto Hornero, investigador del Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible.

El Observatorio Vera Rubin, situado en Chile, reveló este impresionantes galaxias y regiones de formación estelar en sus primeras imágenes del espacio profundo captadas por su telescopio, la cámara digital más grande del mundo. Tras más de dos décadas de trabajo, el gigantesco telescopio financiado por Estados Unidos y en el trabajan cientificos de varios países, entró en funcionamiento. Se calcula que podrá quintuplicar el número de cuerpos conocidos del Sistema Solar en sólo cinco años. En las primeras imágenes del observatorio Vera Rubin se puede apreciar con una claridad inédita la nebulosa Trífida y la nebulosa Laguna, ambas ubicadas a varios miles de años luz de la Tierra. Otra de las capturas ofrece una impresionante vista panorámica del cúmulo de galaxias Virgo. Para entender la magnitud de este hito, Fabio Hernández, ingeniero de investigación del CNRS en Francia, explica lo que hace únicas a estas capturas: "Este instrumento permite ver objetos que son muy tenues, que emiten muy muy poca luz, entonces no se habían visto antes. Lo importante, creo yo, es que en un fragmento del cielo muy pequeño hay una cantidad enorme de objetos celestes y en particular de galaxias. Eso es lo que impresiona de estas imágenes". Mirar el cielo con este aparato podría revolucionar cuatro ámbitos clave de la astrofísica: el estudio de la energía obscura, la cartografía de la Vía Láctea, el censo del sistema solar y el seguimiento de los fenómenos transitorios. Y es que, según Hernández, esto "es solo el comienzo". El proyecto tiene un plan de una década para crear el mapa más detallado del universo jamás visto. "El instrumento va a hacer un barrido del cielo austral cada tres noches. Entonces se va a tener una foto completa del cielo austral y se va a hacer eso durante 10 años". "Al cabo de los 10 años, cada parte del cielo va a ser visitada entre 800 y 1000 veces", detalla el ingeniero. "Eso quiere decir que de cada galaxia que vamos a observar, se va a poder mirar su evolución en 10 años: cómo la galaxia cambió de posición, de luminosidad, de color probablemente, de forma. Y eso para cada uno de los 40 billones de objetos que va a observar este instrumento", equipado con un avanzado telescopio de 8,4 metros y la cámara digital más grande jamás construida. El desierto chileno es una ventana al universo Fueron necesarios 20 años de trabajos para instalar este gigantesco telescopio, financiado por Estados Unidos, en la cima del Cerro Pachón, en el desierto chileno. La elección del lugar no fue casual, ese país alberga telescopios de más de 30 países. "Chile fue seleccionado por sus condiciones de baja humedad, de baja polución lumínica, de poca presencia humana en el sector, y la altitud hace que se preste muy bien para las observaciones astronómicas", afirma Hernández. Decenas de científicos de todo el mundo participan en esta aventura dirigida por la National Science Foundation y el Departamento de Energía de Estados Unidos. Pero, una de las facetas más notables del proyecto es que no es exclusivo para ellos, toda persona interesada y con acceso a internet, puede observar estas fotografías inéditas. La idea es "dar a disposición estas imágenes al público en general", lo que "va a permitir que astrónomos aficionados puedan hacer descubrimientos y probablemente detectar cosas que los astrónomos profesionales y astrofísicos no han detectado". Aunque inicialmente no estaba dedicado a esta tarea, en sólo unos días el nuevo observatorio Vera-C.-Rubin ha descubierto un número impresionante de asteroides y objetos cercanos a la Tierra, es decir, que se cruzan con la órbita terrestre. El observatorio lleva el nombre de Vera Rubin, una astrónoma estadounidense pionera que descubrió la materia obscura, esa sustancia misteriosa que no emite luz, pero ejerce una influencia gravitatoria fundamental sobre las galaxias.

Vuelvo a hablar del espacio por aquí con ocasión del estreno del nuevo observatorio astronómico terrestre Vera C. Rubin. La mayor cámara que ha construído la humanidad ya nos está dando grandes imágenes del Universo.

In this exclusive interview, Professor Mario Jurić reveals how the Vera Rubin Observatory accidentally discovered 2,000 asteroids in just 10 hours while testing its capabilities on the distant Virgo Cluster—transforming humanity's asteroid discovery rate from 20,000 per year globally to potentially over one million annually with a single telescope. Jurić explains how VRO's revolutionary multi-messenger astronomy capabilities will detect dark matter's effects and light simultaneously, automatically slewing to capture cosmic catastrophes like black hole collisions within 30 seconds of detection. From mapping dark matter in galaxy clusters 54 million light-years away to building Earth's first comprehensive planetary defense system against asteroid impacts, this conversation explores how one observatory is about to fundamentally change both our understanding of the universe and our ability to survive in it. — Please join my mailing list here

Episode 307 Using new “ultrasoft” electronics, researchers at Harvard have effectively created tadpole cyborgs. A soft bioelectronic device has been implanted into their brains - one which grows with them as they develop into frogs. This neural implant is a first step in helping us better understand the inner workings of the brain. But could this work in mammals…or humans? Discussing just that, the Royal Society held a meeting this week called Cyborg Futures. How soon until humans become one with machines? A small fleet of cheap drones has been deployed by Ukraine's security service, causing $7 billion of damage to Russian air power. Just 117 drones were able to take out a third of Russia's nuclear bomb force. Difficult to catch, hard to jam and nearly impossible to shoot down - are drones a paradigm shift in warfare? The Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile has just opened, promising to carry out a legacy survey of space and time. US editor Chelsea Whyte visited the newly operational telescope to see how it will map out the night sky in never-before-seen detail. Learn how it hopes to answer some of the biggest mysteries about dark matter and dark energy - and find out about the legacy of Vera Rubin, the astronomer the telescope is named after. Think net-zero climate action is costing us way too much, driving up living costs and damaging the economy? Think again. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has taken on all of the misinformation circulating about our goal to achieve net zero emissions, showing that raising climate ambition would actually boost the global economy. Find out why. Chapters: (00:32) Frogs with cyborg brains…are humans next?

You can’t tell just by looking, but the universe undergoes constant change. Stars explode. Quasars flare up. Asteroids zip past Earth. And soon, astronomers will be able to generate super-high-definition movies of those changes almost every night of the year. That’s because a new telescope dedicated to “time-domain” astronomy is about ready to take its first looks at the heavens. The telescope is the centerpiece of the Vera Rubin Observatory. It’s named for an astronomer who provided strong evidence for the existence of dark matter. It’s atop an 8700-foot mountain in Chile. The telescope’s main mirror, which gathers and focuses starlight, is 8.4 meters across – almost 28 feet. It has a wide field of view, allowing it to photograph the entire southern sky every few nights. It’ll record its observations on the largest digital camera ever built – 3200 megapixels. Astronomers will use those observations to learn more about dark energy and dark matter, and to map the Milky Way Galaxy. And they’ll watch for things that change. They’ll discover asteroids and comets – both close to Earth and deep in the outer solar system. They’ll see novas, supernovas, and other brilliant flare-ups. And the observatory will send out immediate notices of each new outburst, allowing other astronomers to make detailed follow-up observations – learning much more about our constantly changing universe.

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

Should we really be renaming Uranus and stop making fun of its name? How will astronomers deal with the floods of data when Vera Rubin comes online? Do little red dots found by Webb solve the mystery of supermassive black hole formation? And in our free Q&A+ on patreon, what are my personal space obsessions right now? Answering all these questions and more in this question show.
