Marietta Blau hat herausgefunden, wie man die Vorgänge im Inneren der Atome dauerhaft sichtbar machen kann. Sie selbst war aber unsichtbar, selbst heute kennt man sie kaum. Warum man sie kennen sollte, erfahrt ihr in der neuen Folge der Sternengeschichten.

New Orleans novelist Victor Hess has been a lot of things, but he only came to writing recently. His first novel, Jesse Sings, was a finalist in the William Faulkner – William Wisdom Creative Writing competition in 2015. It was also recognized as a finalist in the Fiction: Inspirational category of the 2018 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest. His short stories received Honorable Mention in a recent Glimmer Train competition and one made the shortlist for the 2017 Faulkner competition. He is currently working on a third novel featuring Jesse Hall, the main character of his first two books. A successful business executive, he has been an Army bomb disposal Instructor, and, for decades, has taught Bible study for children and adults. He lives in Slidell, Louisiana with his wife and dog. Vic stopped by Scribbler's Corner at River of Grass on his way home from a book signing in South Carolina to talk about the day he was bitten by the writing bug and how he has managed to lead an almost normal life despite this incurable, and devastating affliction. Victor's books are available here: https://www.amazon.com/Victor-Hess/e/B076VQHK3G%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_shareSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/bkuhnfl)
In 1911 and 1912, an Austrian physicist named Victor Hess took to the sky in a series of risky hot air balloon trips—for science. Down on land, researchers had been registering signals of mysterious energetic particles on their instruments. They didn't know what the signals were or where they came from. So in progressively thinning air, more than three miles off the ground, Hess performed experiments to figure out if the particles came from above or below.
Tyson describe el descubrimiento de los rayos cósmicos por Victor Hess mediante globos lanzados a gran altitud. Luego relata como el astrónomo suizo Fritz Zwicky, estudiando las supernovas, postuló que tenían en ellas su origen. Luego cuenta como Vera Rubin observó que la rotación de las estrella en las galaxias no seguían la velocidad esperada lo que le llevó a postular la existencia de la Materia Oscura. Posteriormente se descubrió la Energía Oscura para explicar la expansión acelerada del universo. Luego Tyson nos describe el viaje interesterlar de las dos sondas Voyager, que llevan un rótulo de oro que establece la posición de la tierra dentro del universo. Tyson concluye la serie enfatizando el mensaje de Carl Sagan de la condición humana en la inmensidad del Cosmos y exhorta a los espectadores a continuar explorando y descubriendo lo que el universo nos ofrece.

C'est en 1912 que furent découverts les rayons cosmiques par le physicien autrichien Victor Hess. La découverte de l'existence de particules ionisantes atteignant la haute atmosphère telle une petite pluie continue, est une conséquence de la découverte de la radioactivité à la fin du 19ème siècle par Becquerel et Curie...
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss cosmic rays. In 1912 the physicist Victor Hess discovered that the Earth is under constant bombardment from radiation coming from outside our atmosphere. These so-called cosmic rays have been known to cause damage to satellites and electronic devices on Earth, but most are absorbed by our atmosphere. The study of cosmic rays and their effects has led to major breakthroughs in particle physics. But today physicists are still trying to establish where these highly energetic subatomic particles come from.

The confluence of particle physics and astrophysics has ushered in an exciting new frontier field by the name "particle astrophysics". While the birth of particle astrophysics dates back to Victor Hess's historic discovery of cosmic rays in 1912, the past 20 years has seen burgeoning research activities. But what can particle astrophysics do for you? In 2003 the Turner Committee charged by the US National Research Council (NRC) released its formal report after 3 years of investigation: "Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos: Eleven Science Questions for the New Century", in which particle astrophysics occupies the center stage for addressing the listed 11 big questions. Aspired by such calling, many universities in the world have established new dedicated centers to compete for the leadership in this field, including the Leung Center for Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (LeCosPA) founded by the National Taiwan University (NTU) in 2007. In this talk we will introduce the topic with a historic perspective and motivate it by reviewing its science potentials. We then introduce the activities at NTU LeCosPA. In five years, it has launched vigorous theoretical and experimental programs, including the balloon-borne ANITA project in Antarctica to search for ultra-high energy cosmic neutrino, the ARA Cosmic Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole that will become the world's largest neutrino observatory when completed, and the UFFO satellite GRB telescope that aims at detecting the very initial GRB light curves within one second of the burst event. We will review the progress of these projects and their future prospects.
