Por NASA Podcast #Recomendado Tweet Webb Space Telescope: Into The Unknown The James Webb Space Telescope is going to open a brand new window into the universe. It will show us stars, galaxies, planets, and other objects as we have never seen them before. In the first of four episodes of our mini-series, we focus on all of the great science that Webb will do. Listen to NASA's Curious Universe on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and SoundCloud.

Por NASA Podcast #Recomendado Tweet Gravity Assist: How to Move an Asteroid, with Nancy Chabot A spacecraft is about to begin its journey to crash into an asteroid on purpose. NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test Mission, or DART, will deliberately impact a small asteroid called Dimorphos to deflect its orbit around a bigger object, Didymos. While this system presents no danger to Earth, an asteroid the size of Dimorphos would cause regional devastation if it hit our planet. DART will demonstrate a potential method of protecting Earth from hazards in the future. Nancy Chabot, planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, has the details. She also discusses searching for meteorites in Antarctica and discovering the secrets of planet Mercury.

In space, the harsh radiation and huge temperature changes make for a challenging environment. Lyndsey McMillon-Brown at NASA’s Glenn Research Center leads a study of solar cells made from a material called perovskite. This material has the potential to help power lunar habitats one day. Learn about this innovation and Lyndsey’s journey to NASA.

Por NASA Podcast #Recomendado Tweet Gravity Assist: Meet a Space Weather Scientist, with Yaireska Collado-Vega Our Sun lights up the solar system, but it’s as not calm or predictable as it may seem. Flares and explosions called coronal mass ejections unleash fast-moving particles and radiation that pose dangers to spacecraft and astronauts alike. Yaireska Collado-Vega leads a team at NASA’s Goddard Spacecraft Center that is studying the solar weather environment so that robots and people exploring space can be protected. In this episode of Gravity Assist, she describes the excitement and challenges of understanding space weather, and how she got to be a NASA scientist.

Por Shots de Ciencia Podcast #Recomendado Tweet E16: Con tiquete de Ida junto al astrofísico Juan Diego Soler En los anaqueles de la curiosidad de todo científico o científica por lo general hay un único libro, una pieza especial. Esa historia que abre la ventana de la curiosidad para lanzarse en busca de respuestas y más preguntas. Con Cosmos, de Carl Sagan, comenzó la aventura de Juan Diego Soler, un astrofísico colombiano que sigue acumulando millas en este planeta para entender la formación de estrellas y su relación con los campos magnéticos. ¿Suena cool, no? Aliste sus maletas porque nos vamos con este tiquete de ida a dar una vuelta entre las estrellas.

Por NASA Podcast #Recomendado Tweet Gravity Assist: Lucy and the Space Fossils, with Hal Levison The planets of our solar system didn’t have such stable orbits a few billion years ago. The giant outer planets moved around chaotically in their orbits, and Uranus and Neptune may have even switched places. To get a more complete understanding of the full history of our solar system, NASA is sending a spacecraft called Lucy to investigate the Trojans, mysterious small objects that share an orbit of the Sun with Jupiter. Principal investigator Hal Levison of the Southwest Research Institute’s branch in Boulder, Colorado, discusses this exciting mission, launching Oct. 16, 2021.

Por NASA Podcast #Recomendado Tweet Gravity Assist: Goodbye Saturn, Hello Earth, with Janelle Wellons Janelle Wellons likes to say that she operates “fancy space cameras.” At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she creates commands that allow spacecraft to take valuable scientific data in our solar system and here at planet Earth. She also monitors the health of spacecraft, like a space robot doctor. She has worked on the Cassini mission to Saturn, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, Sentinel-6/Michael Freilich, and more. In this episode, she reflects on her experiences at JPL and why outreach and diversity and inclusion efforts are so important.

Por NASA Podcast #Recomendado Tweet Gravity Assist: Freaky Physics on the Space Station, with Ethan Elliott The laws of physics get very, very weird in the realm of particles too small for the eye to see. Aboard the International Space Station, an experiment called the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) is exploring how the universe works on a fundamental level by cooling atoms down to a billionth of a degree above the coldest temperature possible, absolute zero. By using special lasers and magnetic fields, CAL is making unusual structures called Bose-Einstein condensates almost every day. Ethan Elliott of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory talks about the exciting possibilities that this experiment offers for the future of physics.
