Part 3 The Universe through a Telescope – Explorations

logo

Explorations this time tells the story of our place in space. Our desire to explore space began with our eyes. The more we saw, the more it fired our ambitions. Experimenting with lenses in his native Florence, Italian Galileo Galilei developed a powerful telescope. Suddenly, planets like Jupiter and its moons, 400 million miles away were at our fingertips We discovered the universe was greater than wed ever imagined. Our sense of place in the cosmos changed forever as telescopes exposed the universes most amazing secrets. Now, with the space telescope Hubble we can see almost 200 trillion times further than Galileos first telescope. And that has made us ask new questions.

I Know every hates fox news and this douche bag reporter. But don’t care as long as I can my favorite professor Michio Kaku speak. Just the topic which is about the hadron collider ignore the reporter please.

Starry-eyed Hubble Celebrates 20 Years Of Awe And Discovery

logo

Hubblecast 36: “Gifts from the sky – Honouring 20 years of Hubble Space Telescope”. The best recognised, longest-lived and most prolific space observatory zooms past a milestone of 20 years of operation. On 24 April 1990, the Space Shuttle and crew of STS-31 were launched to deploy the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope into a low-Earth orbit. What followed was one of the most remarkable sagas of the space age. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Hubbles unprecedented capabilities have made it one of the most powerful science instruments ever conceived by humans, and certainly the one most embraced by the public. Hubbles discoveries have revolutionised nearly all areas of current astronomical research, from planetary science to cosmology. And, its pictures are unmistakably out of this world. At times Hubbles starry odyssey has played out like a space soap opera: with broken equipment, a bleary-eyed primary mirror and even a Space Shuttle rescue/repair mission cancellation. But the ingenuity and dedication of Hubble scientists, engineers, and NASA and ESA astronauts have allowed the observatory to rebound time and time again. Its crisp vision continues to challenge scientists with exciting new surprises and to enthral the public with ever more evocative colour images. NASA, ESA and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) are celebrating Hubbles journey of exploration with a stunning new picture. Another

Understanding The Sun – The Heliophysics Program

Understanding The Sun – The NASA Heliophysics Program. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Heliophysics Science We live in an exciting environment: the heliosphere, the exotic outer atmosphere of a star. The space beyond Earths protective atmospheric cocoon is highly variable and far from benign. It is the one part of the cosmos accessible to direct scientific investigation, our only hands-on astrophysical laboratory. Our technological society is increasingly susceptible to space weather disturbances in this curious region. A host of interconnected physical processes, strongly influenced by solar variability, affect the health and safety of travelers in space and the habitability of alien environments. We call the science of the Sun-Solar System Connections “Heliophysics”. Building on nasas rich history of exploration of the Earths neighborhood and distant planetary systems, we are poised to develop the quantitative knowledge needed to help assure the safety of the new generation of human and robotic explorers. The Heliophysics Program has been completely reevaluated to address the needs of the Vision for Space Exploration. nasas future research and exploration within its Heliophysics program aims to “explore the Sun-Earth system to understand the Sun and its effects on Earth, the solar system, and the space environmental conditions that will be experienced by explorers, and to demonstrate technologies that

Part 4 Reaching for the Stars Space Exploration – BBC Explorations

logo

Explorations this time tells the story of our place in space. At the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, scientists are engaged in one of the most important quests of modern astronomy. They’re scanning the universe for new planets. Planets that might support life now or in the future. Planets that might be like earth. Our desire to reach out into space is a compulsion. The more we soar, the greater that compulsion. In the 1970s, after decades of careful planning, 4 probes, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager One, and Voyager 2 were sent on missions to the outer limits of our solar system. Their journeys would last almost 30 years, and cover more than 8 billion miles. These probes brought mankind astonishing images of the planets in our solar system. Mankinds first giant leap was made with hot air in balloons. Tied to balloons, man could leave the ground and travel higher than ever before. In 1960, a balloon carrying US airforce captain Joe Kittinger ascended to the edge of space, some 100000 feet off the ground. Then he jumped out. In 4 minutes, Kittinger reached the speed of sound
