The year was 1977. The top selling cars were the Ford LTD and the Chevy Impala. The top movies were Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever. Gas was 65 cents a gallon. Stephen King published The Shining, and Farrah Fawcett published the poster. Meanwhile, over at NASA, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were carried aloft for a five-year mission. Yet here we are, 47 years later, and they're still going strong. Voyager I is 15.2 billion miles from Earth; Voyager II is 12.7 billion miles away, and both are traveling at about 35,000 miles-per-hour. And as amazing as all that is, that's not what I want to talk with you about in this program. I want to talk with you about the payload they both carry—specifically, the golden record.

Sue brings you today's Sue's News on the contents of Voyager II, the world's oldest person passed away, and the Random Fact of the Day on frogs.

Director Billy Miossi latest documentary, It's Quieter in the Twilight takes viewers on a thoroughly enjoyable look behind the scenes of a small, but resourceful group of engineers and scientist as they work tirelessly to maintain and expand the mission of America's two oldest satellites, Voyager I and Voyager II. As these two spacecraft approach a half century of flight, they are pushing the notion of true discovery, traveling among stars propelled only by dwindling sunlight. While the world has moved on to fancier ships and splashier front men–the celestial journey of the aging spacecraft transcends earthly boundaries– from rural South Korea, the Jim Crow South and the U.S./Mexico border to cement a joint commitment to the mission which has traveled the furthest in human history as the clock winds down. Director Billy Miossi stops to talk about the low-key way that the Voyager team goes to extraordinary lengths to keep a 1970's era spacecraft functioning, and the dedication of a crew that includes Sun Matsumoto, Enrique Medina, Fernando Peralta, Jefferson Hall, Todd Barber, Suzy Dodd, Chris Jones, Ed Stone, Andrea Angrum and Liu Yang.

-"El "Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán", viene a nuestro país para celebrar su 125 aniversario, con una amplia gira que recorrerá varias ciudades españolas. Es la agrupación musical más antigua de toda Latinoamérica y va ya por su sexta generación. Esta imponente formación mejicana ha recibido infinidad de premios a lo largo de su dilatada historia y se han presentado en infinidad de escenarios de todo el mundo. Como curiosidad, su música ha viajado al espacio en las sondas "Voyager I" y "Voyager II", lanzadas al espacio en 1977. Conviene recordar, también, que el Mariachi fue declarado por la UNESCO en 2011, como Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad. Hablamos con dos de los miembros de la formación y disfrutamos de su música." -"El "Grupo Español de pacientes con Cáncer", ha diseñado el proyecto "Cáncer cuestión de Estado", con el objetivo de reducir los tiempos de aprobación de fármacos en España, así como evitar las restricciones en su aprobación y reducir las desigualdades del sistema, desde su visión como pacientes. Según recientes estudios, desde que un medicamento nuevo se aprueba, por parte de las autoridades europeas, hasta que está disponible en nuestro país, pasa una media de 517 días, es decir, más de 17 meses. En países de nuestro entorno, como Francia, por ejemplo, ese plazo es de menos de 200 días. Conviene recordar, que según la "Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica", en 2022 se detectarán 280.000 nuevos casos de cáncer en España. Urge, por tanto, tomar medidas para acelerar los diagnósticos y facilitar la aplicación rápida de nuevos medicamentos.

New research and evidence that the Sphinx is thousands of years older than previously thoughtContrasts what Egyptologists claim about the Sphinx with historical accounts and new research including reanalysis of seismic studies and updates to Schoch's water weathering research and Bauval's Orion Correlation TheoryExamines how the Sphinx is contemporaneous with Göbekli Tepe, aligned with the constellation Leo, and was recarved during the Old Kingdom era of EgyptReveals that the Sphinx was built during the actual historical Golden Age of ancient Egypt, the period known in legend as Zep TepiNo other monument in the world evokes mystery like the Great Sphinx of Giza. It has survived the harsh climate of Egypt for thousands of years and will remain long after our own civilization is gone. According to orthodox Egyptology, the Sphinx was built around 2500 BCE as a memorial to the pharaoh Khafre. Yet this “fact” has scant to no supportive evidence. When was the Sphinx really built and, most importantly, why?In this provocative collaboration from two Egyptology outsiders, Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., and Robert Bauval combine their decades of research to show how the Sphinx is thousands of years older than the conventional Egyptological timeline and was built by a long forgotten pre-Pharaonic civilization. They examine the known history of the Sphinx, contrasting what Egyptologists claim with prominent historical accounts and new research, including updates to Schoch's geological water weathering research and reanalysis of seismic studies. Building on Bauval's Orion Correlation Theory, they investigate the archaeoastronomical alignments of the monuments of the Giza Plateau and reveal how the pyramids and Sphinx were built to align with the constellations of Orion and Leo. Analyzing the evidence for a significantly older construction phase at Giza and the restoration and recarving of the Sphinx during the Old Kingdom era, they assert that the Sphinx was first built by an advanced pre-Pharaonic civilization that existed circa 12,000 years ago on the Giza Plateau, contemporaneous with the sophisticated Göbekli Tepe complex. The authors examine how the monuments at Giza memorialize Zep Tepi, the Golden Age of legend shown here to be an actual historical time period from roughly 10,500 BCE through 9700 BCE.Moving us closer to an understanding of the true age and purpose of the Great Sphinx, Schoch and Bauval provide evidence of an early high civilization witnessed by the Great Sphinx before the end of the last ice age.Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., a tenured faculty member at Boston University, earned his doctorate in geology and geophysics at Yale University in 1983. Known for his research on ancient civilizations, he is the author of numerous books, including Origins of the Sphinx. Catherine Ulissey, a 20-year ballet and Broadway dance veteran, earned her B.A. from Emerson College in 2002. Married to Dr. Schoch in 2010, she enjoys contributing to his research while teaching her art, formerly for Harvard University's dance program and more recently for Wellesley College.Egyptian-born Robert Bauval began studying Egyptology in 1983. His first book, The Orion Mystery, was published in 1994, becoming a number-one bestseller translated into more than 25 languages. His research has been featured in documentaries throughout the world. He lives in Torremolinos, Spain. Thomas Brophy, Ph.D., is an astrophysicist who has worked with NASA, including as a member of the Voyager II spacecraft instrument teams. The author of several books, including The Origin Map, and numerous published articles in scientific journals, he lives in Encinitas, California.

Toronto is Broken on the Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 12/27/21   About Toronto is Broken -   Toronto is Broken a.k.a. Christian Hoffmann's initial venture into the world of music started out with a guitar whilst at school, and after various attempts attract bands with his passion, he went on a solo mission to produce electronic music after buying Enter Shikari's first album “Take to the Skies”. Several years of work and perseverance later, Christian went on to be picked up by the UK bass label Sub Slayers, ran by former Kiss FM and RAM Records resident Jay Cunning.

After several EP's, remixes and singles on Sub Slayers, Christian went onto release his debut album, “Section Nine” that featured the tracks “A Place in Time, LV-426, Die for You and Field Of Poppies”. It was a concept record that tells the story of a civilisation that falls apart due to their dependence on technology and social networks. This opened many doors for him that led to releases on the prestigious Viper Recordings and Technique Recordings, as well as a wealth of DJ's who continue to supporting his work in clubs and radio globaly, especially his recent string of “post-Section Nine” singles “Original, Voyager II, No Gyal Tune & The Antidote”.   About The DJ Sessions -   With over 2,200 episodes produced over the last eleven years “The DJ Sessions”, a Twitch and Mixcloud “Featured Partner”, has featured international artists such as: BT, Robert Babicz, Camo & Krooked, SNBRN, Amon Tobin, Simon Patterson, Lindsey Stirling, Mako, Morgan Page, Jes, Cut Chemist, Yves Larock, Bjorn Akesson, Alchimyst, Judge Jules, DubFX, DJs From Mars, Rudosa, Thievery Corporation, Sander Van Dorn, GAWP, Hollaphonic, Kissy Sell Out, Somna, David Morales, Roxanne, JB & Scooba, Massimo Vivona, Moulinx, Futuristic Polar Bears, Many Few, Joe Stone, Reboot, Truncate, Scotty Boy, Jody Wisternoff, Benny Bennasi, Dance Loud, Christopher Lawrence, Oliver Twizt, Ricardo Torres, Alex Harrington, 4 Strings, Sunshine Jones, Elite Force, Revolvr, Kenneth Thomas, Paul Oakenfold, George Acosta, Reid Speed, TyDi, Donald Glaude, Jimbo, Ricardo Torres, Hotel Garuda, Bryn Liedl, Rodg, Kems, Mr. Sam, Steve Aoki, Funtcase, Dirtyloud, Marco Bailey, Thousand Fingers, Dirtmonkey, Crystal Method, Beltek, Dyro, Andy Caldwell, Darin Epsilon, Kyau & Albert, Kutski, Vaski, Moguai, Blackliquid, Sunny Lax, Matt Darey, and many more.   In addition to featuring national/international artists “The DJ Sessions” featured hundreds local top DJs from their homebase of Seattle.   We have also undergone a massive upgrade in our TDJS studios and to our TDJS Mobile Studio to full HD streaming and HD audio to make the quality of the shows even better than before.

An alien race intercepts Voyager II, a space probe describing Earth, effectively inviting aliens to visit. These aliens take Earth up on the offer, sending a scout pod to see what we're up to. American fighter jets greet it and the alien scout crashlands up in the American backwoods in Wisconsin. Using DNA found in the hair in recent widow Jenny Hayden's photo album, he transforms himself into the likeness of Jenny's dead husband, a house painter named Scott (Jeff Bridges). Now, not-Scott must get to a rendezvous point at Meteor Crater, Arizona to get back to the mothership before he dies, but SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and the FBI want him to experiment on.  The alien has no choice but to kidnap Jenny (Karen Allen) to assist him.  John Carpenter directs.

An interstellar accomplishment: Steve Zinsmeister tells us about the out-of-this-world launch of the Voyager II on August 20th, 1977.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c84yzMS7Xfs Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain )Special Guest: This week we are airing Fraser's prerecorded interview with Dr. Robert B. Hayes, Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University. Dr. Hayes is co-author of a recent paper published January 7. 2020, in the journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry announcing the development of a new cost-effective technique for shielding military and space exploration electronics from the effects of ionizing radiation. According to Dr. Hayes, their approach ""can be used to maintain the same level of radiation shielding and reduce the weight by 30% or more, or you could maintain the same weight and improve shielding by 30% or more – compared to the most widely used shielding techniques. Either way, our approach reduces the volume of space taken up by shielding.""   Dr. Hayes is a Certified Health Physicist and a licensed Professional Engineer (nuclear) with industry and field experience in radiological emergency response, nuclear waste management, nuclear safety, radiation dosimetry, nuclear criticality safety, air monitoring, ALARA and shielding design.   His research interests include nuclear nonproliferation, radiological emergency response and nuclear waste disposal technologies which are advanced using novel hybrid approaches including radiation detection, air monitoring, luminescence and magnetic resonance coupled with Monte Carlo radiation transport modeling.   To read the complete February 12, 2020, press release from NC State visithttps://news.ncsu.edu/2020/02/smaller...

Welcome back awesome people...  In this weeks episode I wanted to take you on a little journey with Voyager II, it was that little space robot that gave me a concept and an understanding of our solar system back when I was 6 years old... It stayed with so much that I have always tracked where Voyager II is and it is now in interstellar space... It won't reach its next star for 40 thousand years... We also bid farewell to the little H2N Microphone that has brought you the podcast so far as there is a massive upgrade coming this week... Hope all is well with you and yours, enjoy.

Astrophiz 73: ‘Best of 2018’ Astrophysics Please enjoy this ‘Best of 2018 Astrophiz’ episode where we have our 3 most popular astrophysics interviews for 2018. I have removed my ’News’ ramblings and Dr Ian Musgrave's ‘What’s up Doc’ segments from these three episodes so you can listen to these three astrophysicists without any distractions in a single episode. (51min) Today’s first feature interview is with Dr Jane Kaczmarek, ( @jfKaczmarek ) who gives us the state of play on the new receivers on the 64m Parkes dish and what it’s like to work climbing way up above the dish to do her work in the focus cabin. Back in June in Episode 60, Jane told us about growing up in Wisconsin and how her love of astronomy developed, and how her penchant for asking questions and her serendipitous move out to Australia and how her PhD on immense magnetic fields spanning the Magellanic Clouds has lead her to work with the CSIRO as the commissioning scientist for the UWL receiver on the 64m Parkes dish that bought us vision of the Apollo moon landing. In the last couple of weeks, Jane has steered the Parkes dish to receive the tenuous signals from Voyager II, as it departs the heliosphere for interstellar space. Or next interview features one of the icons of modern astronomy, Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith, ( @lisaharveysmith ) Astronomy researcher, author and presenter of ABC television's Stargazing Live. She uses the world's largest radio telescopes to study the life cycle of stars and develops new world-leading precursor telescopes building the Square Kilometre Array. We find out how she left school at 11 and now has a Doctorate in radio astronomy and Masters in Physics with Honours in Astronomy & Astrophysics. She has scores of refereed journal papers to her name and her first book: "When Galaxies Collide" was recently released and you can order the paperback or digital version from Melbourne University Press. She has won the Eureka Prize and CSIRO Chairman's Medal and runs a popular international astronomy distance learning course. She has just returned from a sold-out national speaking tour. In our final interview in this ‘ Best of 2018' series we are speaking with astrophysicist and Indigenous Astronomer Kirsten Banks who is a proud Wiradjuri woman and the Indigenous Astronomy Educator at the Sydney Observatory. She is a highly respected scientist and advocate for indigenous astronomy. Listen to Kirsten's wonderful ’The Skyentists’ podcasts with Dr. Ángel López-Sánchez @El_Lobo_Rayado

Astrophiz 72: Dr Brad Tucker ~ SUPERnova Space Detective Brad tells us about his research using the Keppler Space Telescope and how its successor TESS is generating great science already. He tells us how astrophysicists use a variety of tools to measure how the universe is changing over time. He explains how remote observing has radically changed the way astronomy is done around the world and how we now use telescopes with 100 times the light collecting area of the Hubble telescope and use lasers to correct for disturbances in the atmosphere. If you thought your 12 inch Dobbie was big, and it is, consider that researchers are now building telescopes with 25 to 30 metre mirrors. In our regular segment for astrophotographers and observers, Dr Ian 'Astroblog’ Musgrave presents ‘What’s Up Doc?’. In this episode he tells us about the planets, the geminid meteor shower and comets currently visible to the naked eye. In the News: .1. Dr Brad Tucker & team find a unique Type 1A Supernova. .2. Australian Home for our National Space Agency announced. .3. The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft aimed three of its science instruments toward asteroid Bennu .4. China's Chang’e 4 launched to the far side of the moon. .5. Virgin Galactic had a successful Space flight. .6. Parker Solar Probe made the closest-ever approach to a star. .7. JAXA’s Minerva II-1 rovers, have sent back 200 photos in the search for a suitable landing site on asteroid Ryugu. .8. NASA’s Insight lander is sending home some great selfies as it prepares to drill 5 metres down into Mars to check its pulse with seismograph readings. .9. Do a simple search on the internet for ’the sound of Martian winds’ Thank’s to Insight, it’s the first time we have eavesdropped on the breath of another planets winds. It’s pretty eerie. .10. The Parkes Telescope and the NASA/CSIRO DSN at Tidbinbilla have confirmed that Voyager II has powered on beyond the heliosphere.

What if Sisko was the captain of Voyager? Last week we asked that question and just focused on Caretaker. This week we were able to expand that to his relationships with his crewmates. How would Chakotay work with him? Would he tolerate Neelix? Would Tom be able to foster a paternal relationship with him? We ask all these questions and a whole lot more.

In our 35th episode, Lauren takes us into the great beyond with the Voyager Program and highlights the women who helped to interpret the incredible photos and data received from these two probes. […Go ahead and get your giggles out now in anticipation of all the times we say “Uranus.”] Later, enjoy a quiz called “Gold Records”! . . .

Have you ever pondered that picture of earth as a pale blue dot seen from space? Then you already know something of the work of the space craft Voyager I. In 2012, that same space craft became the first man-made object to leave our solar system and enter interstellar space. Voyager I and its twin Voyager II have continued to gather data from deep space forty years after their launch in 1977. On August 23rd, 2017, PBS aired a documentary–The Farthest–Voyager in Space–that tells the story of these dogged explorers. Two weeks before, on Wednesday, August 9th, the Museum hosted a special preview screening. After which, Hayden Planetarium director Neil deGrasse Tyson sat down with Carolyn Porco, a planetary scientist and Voyager team member. This podcast brings you their conversation.

What message would you send to outer space? NASA/JPL-Caltech, CC BY Jason Wright, Pennsylvania State University Forty years ago, NASA launched Voyager I and II to explore the outer solar system. The twin spacecraft both visited Jupiter and Saturn; from there Voyager I explored the hazy moon Titan, while Voyager II became the first (and, to date, only) probe to explore Uranus and Neptune. Since they move too quickly and have too little propellant to stop themselves, both spacecraft are now on what NASA calls their Interstellar Mission, exploring the space between the stars as they head out into the galaxy. Instructions to a far-off listener. NASA/JPL, CC BY Both craft carry Golden Records: 12-inch phonographic gold-plated copper records, along with needles and cartridges, all designed to last indefinitely in interstellar space. Inscribed on the records’ covers are instructions for their use and a sort of “map” designed to describe the Earth’s location in the galaxy in a way that extraterrestrials might understand. The grooves of the records record both ordinary audio and 115 encoded images. A team led by astronomer Carl Sagan selected the contents, chosen to embody a message representative of all of humanity. They settled on elements such as audio greetings in 55 languages, the brain waves of “a young woman in love” (actually the project’s creative director Ann Druyan, days after falling in love with Carl Sagan), a wide-ranging selection of musical excerpts from Blind Willie Johnson to honkyoku, technical drawings and images of people from around the world, including Saan Hunters, city traffic and a nursing mother and child. Greetings to you, whoever you are; we have good will toward you and bring peace across space. NASA/JPL8.23 KB (download) Since we still have not detected any alien life, we cannot know to what degree the records would be properly interpreted. Researchers still debate what forms such messages should take. For instance, should they include a star map identifying Earth? Should we focus on ourselves, or all life on Earth? Should we present ourselves as we are, or as comics artist Jack Kirby would have had it, as “the exuberant, self-confident super visions with which we’ve clothed ourselves since time immemorial”? But the records serve a broader purpose than spreading the word that we’re here on our blue marble. After all, given the vast distances between the stars, it’s not realistic to expect an answer to these messages within many human lifetimes. So why send them and does their content even matter? Referring to earlier, similar efforts with the Pioneer spacecraft, Carl Sagan wrote, “the greater significance of the Pioneer 10 plaque is not as a message to out there; it is as a message to back here.” The real audience of these kinds of messages is not ET, but humanity. Pioneer 10’s plaque: ‘Hi, we’re here.’ NASA, CC BY In this light, 40 years’ hindsight shows the experiment to be quite a success, as they continue to inspire research and reflection. Only two years after the launch of these messages to the stars, “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” imagined the success of similar efforts by (the fictional) Voyager VI. Since then, there have been Ph.D. theses written on the records’ content, investigations into the identity of the person heard laughing and successful crowdfunded efforts to reissue the records themselves for home playback. The choice to include music has inspired introspection on the nature of music as a human endeavor, and what it would (or even could) mean to an alien species. If an ET even has ears, it’s still far from clear whether it would or could appreciate rhythm, tones, vocal inflection, verbal language or even art of any kind. As music scholars Nelson and Polansky put it, “By imagining an Other listening, we reflect back upon ourselves, and open our selves and cultures to new musics and understandings, other possibilities, different worlds.”

Vi fortsätter vår berättelse om Area 51. USA: s mest hemliga militära ökenbas men också platsen där konspirationsteoretiker påstår att man gömmer utomjordingar. Och så berättelsen om mänsklighetens dyraste flaskpost. En farkost på väg ut genom solsystemet med ett axplock av musik, poesi och förälskade hjärtslag. Vi fortsätter vår berättelse om Area 51. USA: s mest hemliga militära ökebas men också platsen där konspirationsteoretiker påstår att man gömmer utomjordingar. Var kommer detta rykte ifrån? Vi berättar om hur en krasch i Roswell 1947 ligger bakom denna tanke. Vi förklarar vad det var för märkliga flygande föremål som vi såg på natthimlen i förra programmet och så berättar vi om rymdsonden Voyager II som skickades iväg från jorden i slutet på 1970-talet med destination yttre rymden. Den här sonden bär med sig en last med musik, texter och tal från mänskligheten i fall den skulle stöta på en annan intelligent civilisation där ute bland stjärnorna. Och den kommer att fortsätta segla genom den svarta oceanen i många miljoner år - långt efter det att mänskligheten försvunnit från jorden och blivit ett minne blott. 

Bättre sent än aldrig! Här kommer äntligen juniavsnittet av Slottspod! Om humanoida robotar i rymden, en överrumplande solstorm, grottmänniskor på Mars, mystiska radiosignaler från yttre rymden, samt Voyager II, som verkar vara på väg att bli dement. I studion: Gunnar Sporrong och Emanuel Blume

I det tredje och sista programmet kastar vi oss långt ut i rymden igen. Det handlar om liv på andra planeter. För sannolikt är vi ju inte ensamma här i detta universum. Möjligheten att det skulle finnas liv på någon av alla dessa planeter är helt enkelt för stor. Frågan är bara om vi någonsin kommer att komma i kontakt med det, eller om timingen gör att vi aldrig kommer hitta ett slags liv som vi kan kommunicera med? Kanske fanns där någon som var hyfsat lik oss men som vi missade med 1 miljard år. Kanske har dom utvecklats till något vi inte ens kan föreställa oss eller tvärtom.., kanske hittar vi bara liv i dess mest begynnande och allra enklaste form: bakterier. Hur som helst är drömmen om liv där ute i allra högsta grad levande. I programmet ger sig Tove Leffler och professor och galaxguide Ulf Danielsson ut till tänkbara kandidater som vi nyligen hittat. T ex en planet som är kusligt lik jorden och som kretsar kring en röd dvärgstjärna i stjärnbilden Vågen på ett avstånd av bara 20 ljusår. Vi berättar om de rymdsonder som skickats ut med uppdraget att aldrig komma tillbaka. Pioneer 11 och Voyager II har är på väg att lämna solsystemet. Med sig bär de en last med musik, bilder, hälsningar på 55 språk från jorden och hjärtslagen från en förälskad kvinna. Men varför skickar vi raketer med detta uppdrag att aldrig komma tillbaka? Vad säger detta om oss själva? Och hur stor är sannolikheten att att vi hittar samtida liv hyfsat lika oss själva där ute?. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play.
