Showing results for "A.D." in Astronomy & Space Science

There is no more profound, enduring, or fascinating question in all of science than that of how time, space, and matter began. Now John Barrow, who has been at the cutting edge of research in this area and has written extensively about it, guides us on a journey to the beginning of time, into a world of temperatures and densities so high that we cannot recreate them in a laboratory.

We are living in intense times of change. This podcast gives insight into what is going on astrologically in this time and how we are being supported into moving into new paradigms and ways of being.

Described as the "ultimate engineer" during his career at NASA, George M. Low was a visionary architect and leader from the agency's inception in 1958 to his retirement in 1976. As chief of manned spaceflight at NASA, Low was instrumental in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Low's pioneering work paved the way for President Kennedy's decision to make a lunar landing NASA's primary goal in the 1960s.

In 1977, two extraordinary spacecraft called Voyager were launched to the stars. Affixed to each Voyager craft was a gold-coated copped phonograph record as a message to possible extra-terrestrial civilizations that might encounter the spacecraft in some distant space and time.

The Black Hole is a new podcast that will venture into the minds and hearts of the masses via two thought experts: Sancho D. Bayleaf and Doggie Boy J. Listen as the Bayleaf and the Boy outthink so called “Scientist” and “Doctors” by digging the sediment out of the woolly grundle of life and death and life again (The afterlife) and put it under a microscope and project the findings on a jumbotron (metaphorically). Hear the bigger picture and absorb every facet of yours and you neighbor’s mind.

Are we on the verge of solving the riddle of creation using Einstein's "greatest blunder"? In a work that is at once lucid, exhilarating and profound, renowned mathematician Dr. Amir Aczel, critically acclaimed author of Fermat's Last Theorem, takes us into the heart of science's greatest...

Un cibo non troppo caldo e non troppo freddo, un letto non troppo morbido e non troppo duro: ecco cosa vuole la giovane protagonista della fiaba "Riccioli d'oro e i tre orsi", qualcosa di "proprio giusto". Sembra bizzarro, eppure l'astrobiologia usa lo stesso criterio nella ricerca di possibili forme di vita nello spazio. Tanto che si chiama "Fascia Riccioli d'oro" la zona abitabile di un sistema stellare, lo spazio in cui si trovano i pianeti che possiedono le caratteristiche necessarie allo sviluppo della vita: presenza di acqua, temperature non eccessivamente calde o fredde.

Galileo Unbound traces the journey that brought us from Galileo's law of free fall to today's geneticists measuring evolutionary drift, entangled quantum particles moving among many worlds, and our lives as trajectories traversing a health space with thousands of dimensions. Remarkably, common themes persist that predict the evolution of species as readily as the orbits of planets or the collapse of stars into black holes.

In Apollo's Legacy, space historian Roger D. Launius explores the many-faceted stories told about the meaning of the Apollo program and how it forever altered American society. The Apollo missions marked the first time human beings left Earth's orbit and visited another world, and thus they loom large in our collective memory. Many have detailed the exciting events of the Apollo program, but Launius offers unique insight into its legacy as seen through multiple perspectives.

Launius places American and Soviet programs on equal footing - following American aerospace engineers Wernher von Braun and Robert Gilruth, their Soviet counterparts Sergei Korolev and Valentin Glushko, and astronaut Buzz Aldrin and cosmonaut Alexei Leonov - to highlight key actions that led to various successes, failures, and ultimately the American Moon landing.

During the summer of 1969 - the summer Americans first walked on the moon - musician and poet Patti Smith recalled strolling down the Coney Island Boardwalk to a refreshment stand, where "pictures of Jesus, President Kennedy, and the astronauts were taped to the wall behind the register." Such was the zeitgeist in the year of the moon. Yet this holy trinity of 1960s America would quickly fall apart.

In the mid-1990s, astronomers made history when they detected three planets orbiting stars in the Milky Way. The planets were nothing like Earth, however: They were giant gas balls like Jupiter or Saturn. More than 500 planets have been found since then, yet none of them could support life. Now, armed with more powerful technology, planet hunters are racing to find a true twin of Earth. Science writer Michael Lemonick has unique access to these exoplaneteers, as they call themselves, and Mirror Earth unveils their passionate quest.

L'astrophysicienne Fatoumata Kebe a les pieds sur terre mais la tête dans les étoiles. Elle partage avec nous sa passion pour l'espace, le ciel et les étoiles sous les cieux infinis des territoires ultramarins. On se positionne très rarement sous ces latitudes, pourtant, les histoires cosmiques et spatiales concernent aussi les Outre-mer !Une coproduction Initial Studio et Outre-mer la 1ère. Réalisation et musique : Théo Boulenger. Textes : Fatoumata Kebe accompagnée de Delphine Bauer.

Trained as a musician, amateur scientist William Herschel found international fame after discovering the planet Uranus in 1781. Though he is still best known for this finding, his partnership with his sister Caroline yielded groundbreaking work, including techniques that remain in use today. The duo pioneered comprehensive surveys of the night sky, carefully categorizing every visible object in the void. Caroline wrote an influential catalogue of nebulae, and William discovered infrared radiation.

L'interesse dell'uomo moderno per l'universo e i suoi segreti è sempre più vorace. A dimostrarlo, anche fenomeni di culto cinematografico sul grande e sul piccolo schermo, come Interstellar e la serie Netflix Dark per citarne due, per non parlare delle ambizioni marziane di Elon Musk!

Few perspectives epitomize the sheer drama and sacrifice of combat more perfectly than those of the fighter pilots of World War II. As romanticized as any soldier in history, the World War II fighter pilot was viewed as larger than life: a dashing soul waging war amongst the clouds. In the 65-plus years since the Allied victory, stories of these pilots' heroics have never been in short supply. But what about their adversaries - the highly skilled German aviators who pushed the Allies to the very brink of defeat?
