This is different from the natural satellites, or moons, that orbit planets, dwarf planets and even asteroids. Artificial satellites are used to study the Earth, other planets, to help us communicate, and even to observe the distant Universe. The first artificial satellite was the Soviet Sputnik 1 mission, launched in
The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. Copyright The Columbia University Press artificial satelliteobject constructed by humans and placed in orbit around the earth or other celestial body see also space probe.
The first artificial satelliteSputnik I, was launched on Oct. During the first decade of space explorationall of the satellites were launched from either the United States or USSR. Today, there are more than three dozen launch sites in use or under construction in more than a dozen countries.
At heights less than mi km the drag produced by the atmosphere will slow the satellite down, causing it to descend into the denser portion of the atmosphere where it will burn up like a meteor. To attain orbital altitude and Artificial satellites, multistage rockets are used, with each stage falling away as its fuel is exhausted; the effect of reducing the total mass of the rocket while maintaining its thrust is to increase its speed, thus allowing it to achieve the required velocity of 5 mi per sec 8 km per sec.
Once above the lower atmosphere, the rocket bends to Artificial satellites nearly horizontal flight path, until it reaches the orbital height desired for the satellite.
Unless corrections are made, orbits are usually elliptical; perigee is the point on the orbit closest to the earth, and apogee is the point farthest from the earth.
Besides this eccentricity an orbit of a satellite about the earth is characterized by its plane with respect to the earth. A polar orbit lies in the plane passing through both the north and south poles.
At a height of mi kmthe period of a circular orbit is 90 min; at mi kmit increases to min. At a height of 22, mi 36, kma satellite has a period of exactly 24 hr, the time it takes the earth to rotate once on its axis; such an orbit is called geosynchronous. Tracking and Telemetry Since more than 1, satellites are presently in orbit, identifying and maintaining contact requires precise tracking methods.
Optical and radar tracking are most valuable during the launch; radio tracking is used once the satellite has achieved a stable orbit. Optical tracking uses special cameras to follow satellites illuminated either by the sun or laser beams.
Radar tracking directs a pulse of microwaves at the satellite, and the reflected echo identifies both its direction and distance. Nearly all satellites carry radio transmitters that broadcast their positions to tracking antennas on the earth.
In addition, the transmitters are used for telemetry, the relaying of information from the scientific instruments aboard the satellite.
Types of Satellites Satellites can be divided into five principal types: Research satellites measure fundamental properties of outer space, e. Also contributing to scientific research were the experiments conducted by the astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space stations launched by the United States Skylab and the Soviet Union Salyut and Mir ; in these stations researchers worked for months at a time on scientific or technical projects.
The International Space Stationwhose first permanent crew boarded incontinues this work.
Communications satellites provide a worldwide linkup of radio, telephone, and television. The first communications satellite was Echo 1; launched init was a large metallized balloon that reflected radio signals striking it. This passive mode of operation quickly gave way to the active or repeater mode, in which complex electronic equipment aboard the satellite receives a signal from the earth, amplifies it, and transmits it to another point on the earth.This timeline of artificial satellites and space probes includes unmanned spacecraft including technology demonstrators, observatories, lunar probes, and interplanetary probes.

If you ever plan on going star gazing with your kids, you will need a star chart to guide you.
A star chart is helpful in identifying the objects in the sky. There are many elements in the sky that your child will want to know of.
Plus, with the earth rotating and revolving around the sun, the elements and position of these elements are never constant. That’s when a star chart helps you identify one element from the other.
Star charts are also made for the northern and southern hemispheres and different latitudes to correctly identify in the sky.
You can lay the foundation for your kid to be a good astronomer by getting him/her some very useful star charts, books and kits for Kids to help them know more about the objects in the sky.
Star Charts: Useful Guides
Star charts are the most useful guides for observing the sky at night. These charts are not very detailed owing to the restriction of space to fit all the information on one chart. Nevertheless, it is a great tool for on the field star gazing. A large star chart would be ideal. They are made of plastic or are planisphere and some others are even laminated. For those who complain about the star charts not being detailed enough, it is available in a book form also. So, you can get the star chart book for classroom purposes if you wish to provide students with additional information.
Stargazer Guide Books and Kits
This is a basic kit ideal for an amateur star gazer. The kit includes 2 kits of basic supply that an amateur star gazer would need. It is always recommended that those who are just starting off with star gazing opt for a binoculars before buying a telescope along with these star gazing books and kits. Some star gazing kits are definitely better suited than the field guides however the only complaint would be that the chart is a bit smaller than ideal.
Orion Stargazer Tool Kit
The Orion Stargazer Tool kit is an interesting mix of items such as the Discover The Stars book, Star Target Planishphere, Moon Map Book and an aviator’s flash light. The book, Discover The Stars, written by Richard Berry contains useful information about the sky maps, charts, it explains the use of planisphere and adjustable star chart, gives inputs on stargazing, telescope and the universe. The kit also contains a Moon map that helps identify the craters and other features on the moon and the aviator flash light helps see in the dark. The aviator flashlight helps especially when you go out stargazing in the dark.
Before you set out to buy a telescope, you should buy the Astro-Pack Kit. This kit includes a star finder, star chart, night sky and planisphere. The Night Sky through your telescope contains all the basic information an astronomer would want including information on star photography, the best telescope accessory, tips on how to use the planisphere or star chart and ways to set up a telescope.
Guide to the Stars
Previously known as David H. Levey Guide to the stars, this is a 16” diameter star chart or planisphere. It includes north observation of 30 – 60 degrees including North America, Canada, England, Europe, Japan and Northern China. Designed for kids as well as experienced star gazers, the chart works by rotating the top portion to align the stars with current month, day and time to see the location of the stars, constellations and other astronomical features. There is also a 11” size available for those who don’t want the 16”. There is information on both sides of the chart.
Turn Left at Orion: Hundreds of Night Sky Objects to See in a Home Telescope and How to Find Them
Turn Left at Orion: Hundreds of Night Sky Objects to See in a Home Telescope & and How to Find Them is a popular book on astronomy. You can catch the updated new edition that contains more information on charts, information on photography equipment and charts on natural occurrences such as lunar and solar eclipses. It is liked due to the features that show how an object will look through different scopes. It is a great book if you are a amateur astronomer. Its spiral binding makes it easier for field use.


In late April 2023, a SpaceX Starship exploded over South Texas shortly after launch, causing particulate matter to rain down on the nearby town of Port Isabel. The failed launch is also reported to have broken windows and caused other damage to homes and businesses. In the wake of the launch, environmental and cultural heritage groups have reportedly filed legal proceedings against the US Federal Aviation Administration in respect of the environmental impact of falling dust and debris on endangered species in the Boca Chica area.
Such events are becoming increasingly common, as humankind continue to explore and utilise space as a means of connecting and sustaining life on planet earth. Consequently, the growing number of discarded items from launches and orbiting in outer space, known as "space junk" poses ever-increasing risks to human life, property and the environment.
During 2022 alone, there were 186 orbital launch attempts from Earth globally, with 180 of those launches reaching orbit.1 According to NASA there are presently about 100 million pieces of debris orbiting the earth, 23,000 of which are larger than a softball.2 Travelling at speeds of around 15,700 miles per hour (equivalent to around 25,000 kilometers per hour), these pieces of space junk could pose a significant risk to human life, property and the environment if they were to fall out of orbit, and make contact with the earth's surface. This risk is not all that remote, as illustrated by the large pieces of space debris that fell in the Snowy Mountains region of NSW as recently as 2022.3
In this bulletin, and as part of our growing Space Law practice, we explore some of the mechanisms under Australian and international law which govern liability for falling space junk.
Statutory Framework and Treaty Obligations
Australia's framework around liability for falling space debris has its origins in our treaty obligations.
Article VII of the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, to which Australia is a party, provides that:
"Each State Party to the Treaty that launches or procures the launching of an object into outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, and each State Party from whose territory or facility an object is launched, is internationally liable for damage to another State Party to the Treaty or to its natural or juridical persons by such object or its component parts on the Earth, in air or in outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies."
Also in 1967, the Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects Launched into Outer Space was negotiated (Rescue Agreement), which provides that states shall, upon request, provide assistance to launching states in recovering space objects that return to Earth outside the territory of the launching state.
Article 5 of the Rescue Agreement provides that if a state discovers a space object or its component parts has returned to earth in territory under its jurisdiction, that party shall notify the launching authority and the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Relevantly, by reason of Australia's position as a signatory to the Rescue Agreement, these notification obligations were activated in 2022, after the discovery of space debris in the Snowy Mountains.
In 1972, these concepts were further developed in the Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects (Liability Convention). Article 2 of the Liability Convention provides that a launching State shall be absolutely liable to pay compensation for damage caused by its space objects on the surface of the Earth or to aircraft, and liable for damage due to its faults in space.
"Launching state", in this context, includes:
- a state from whose territory or facility a space object is launched
- a state which launches or procures the launching of a space object.
In addition, Article 5 of the Liability Convention provides:
"Whenever two or more States jointly launch a space object, they shall be jointly and severally liable for any damage caused."
In 1974, the Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space (Registration Convention) was negotiated which further affirmed the principles established in the Liability Convention. It also provided for the establishment of a central register of objects launched into outer space, and the launching state(s) of each object, to be maintained by the UN Secretary-General, to assist in the identification of space objects.
In 2020, Australia became a signatory to the Artemis Accords4, being a common set of declaratory principles to enhance the governance and use of outer space. The Artemis Accords do not specifically address or supplement the existing treaty obligations as to liability, except to affirm the importance of compliance with the Outer Space Treaty and Liability Convention.
However, section 12 of the Accords titled "Orbital Debris" contains a commitment to mitigate orbital debris and limit, to the extent practicable, the generation of new, harmful debris by taking appropriate measures including post-mission disposal of space structures.
The Space Act
From a statutory perspective in Australia, the Space (Launches and Returns) Act 2018 (Cth) (Space Act) reflects the principles of the Outer Space Treaty 1967, including the principles of liability for damage caused by space objects or space debris.
The Space Act provides that a person who launches a space object from Australia or under the jurisdiction of Australia is liable for any damage caused by the space object or any debris resulting from the launch (Section 63(1)).
For launches conducted by overseas nationals, the "responsible party" for the return of a space object is liable to pay compensation for any damage the space object causes to a third party (section 71).
Significantly, the Space Act also provides that:
- The provisions for liability apply irrespective of whether the damage occurs in space, inside Australia or outside it (section 63(3));
- The responsible party for a launch or return of a space object is liable to pay compensation for any damage caused by its space object to a third party on earth or as a result of damage to aircraft in flight (section 67(1));
- "damage" in relation to a space object means loss of life, personal injury or other impairment of health, loss of or damage to property of States or of persons, natural or juridical, or property of international intergovernmental organisations (section 8);
- In order to obtain a launch permit, the holder must be insured against any liability that the holder might incur under the Space Act to pay compensation for any damage to third parties that the launch or return causes (section 48(1)). Currently, the minimum required insurance is $100 million, although there are exceptions to this figure5; and
- The Commonwealth is liable to pay compensation to any Australian nationals for damage in excess of the insured amount, up to $3 billion (section 69(4)).
- The Federal Court and Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia have jurisdiction to hear and determine actions for compensation for damage to which these laws apply (section 72).
A range of licenses and permits are relevant, depending on the object being launched and the location of the launch. Among others, these include launch facility licenses, Australian launch permits, Australian high powered rocket permits and overseas payload permits.
What claims could be made?
Theoretically, if a person or entity is responsible for launching or controlling the space debris, they could potentially be liable under Australian law for harm or damage caused:
- pursuant to the Space Act
- in the tort of negligence
- for trespass to person or property
- in very serious and rare cases, involuntary manslaughter by criminal negligence.
Additionally, it is conceivable that entities responsible for space debris polluting the Australian environment could be liable for environmental crimes.
The international position
While the Outer Space Treaty 1967 provides general principles of liability for space activities, individual countries have adopted their own laws and regulations to manage liability for space debris.
In the United States, under the Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act 2015, the liability of commercial space companies is limited to $500 million. For damages above that, the United States government will indemnify the company, up to about $3 billion. Currently, this limitation will be in place until 2025.
In Europe, the European Space Agency (ESA) has developed guidelines and standards for the management of space debris. The ESA also operates a Space Debris Office that monitors space debris and develops strategies to mitigate the associated risks.
In Japan, the Space Activities Act 2016 imposes strict liability on space launch operators for any damage caused by a space object or debris resulting from a launch. That is, the injured third party does not need to prove negligence. The act also requires persons who launch an object into space to secure payment of any damages arising from the launch, such as purchasing space liability insurance.
Where to from here?
As humankind increase our daily reliance on space, and place an increasing number of satellites, rockets and other objects into orbit above earth, it is inevitable that space debris will come into contact with earth's surface, posing a risk to human life, property, and the environment.
Much of Australia's space liability legislation remains untested from a judicial perspective to date. However, we expect to see an increase in litigated cases in this area over the next decade, as humans begin to deal with the consequences of falling space debris and the damage it causes in their day-to-day lives.

This is how the Indian Prime Minister responded to the success of the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) yesterday:
“History has been created by our scientists”, said PM Narendra Modi in his speech immediately after the scientists declared the mission a success. “We have dared to reach out to the unknown.”
“When our cricketers win a tournament, we celebrate in a big way. What these scientists have achieved is thousand times bigger,” he added.
It’s certainly a great achievement – India managed a succesful Mars orbit introduction with the first spacecraft they sent to Mars. We can measures ts success against the fact that more than half the world’s previous attempts – 23 out of 41 Mars missions – have failed, including attempts by Japan in 1999 and China in 2011.
The Indian Mar’s Orbiter arrived in Mar’s orbit just a few days after the US Maven orbiter. Both orbiters have similar tasks. MOM’s scientific goals including using five solar-powered instruments to gather data that will help determine how Martian weather systems work and what happened to the water that is believed to have once existed on Mars in large quantities. It will also search Mars for methane, a key chemical in life processes on Earth that could also come from geological processes.
The BBC described the cost of MOM as “staggeringly cheap” by Western standards. The US Maven orbiter is costing almost 10 times as much. This bodes well for the future of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) – especially for launches of commercial satellites for overseas countries and companies.

In August 1968, NASA made a bold decision: in just sixteen weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken. But when Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders were summoned to a secret meeting and told of the dangerous mission, they instantly signed on.
Apollo 8 takes us from Mission Control to the astronaut's homes, and the race to prepare an untested rocket for an unprecedented journey paves the way for the hair-raising trip to the moon. And when the mission is over-after the first view of the far side of the moon, the first earth-rise, and the first re-entry through the earth's atmosphere following a flight to deep space-the impossible dream of walking on the moon suddenly seems within reach.
The full story of Apollo 8 has never been told, and only Jeffrey Kluger-Jim Lovell's co-author on their bestselling book about Apollo 13-can do it justice. Here is the tale of a mission that was both a calculated risk and a wild crapshoot, a stirring account of how three American heroes forever changed our view of the home planet.

The Human Body is composed of several octillion atoms. And each one of these atoms was created in space, some of them directly at the big bang, like hydrogen, and some others out of collisions or explosions of stars. Each one of the atoms creating our bodies was born in space, and arrived in the right place at the right time on the perfectly positioned earth to bond and make up humans, trees, minerals and everything we know on the planet.
In each one of the 200 bottles hangs one element in a specific form (mineral, liquid, gas) and it is labelled with the place where it was created and the place where we can find it on earth.
In the front corner of the project you can recognize a group of bottles which labels have a human figure drawn on them. These elements are the ones that make up our bodies. So, our bodies were actually created at the big bang, in exploding massive starts or white dwarfs, and even in collision of neutron stars. “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” — Carl Sagan


I just added that the winter solstice is usually on December 21 (sometimes 22) with Christmas 4 days later and New Year's 7 days later.
There are 4 lunar phases of roughly 7 (~7.4) days each - 4 weeks in a 'moonth'. The lunar year of 354 days + 7 day week + 4 days = solar year.
The ancients observed 7 moving objects in the heavens - the sacred 7 Luminaires - what we call the 7 Classical Planets or 7 Naked-Eye Planets: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Out of these, 4 can't easily be seen during the day (Venus can be)/4 don't cast shadows on Earth (Venus can).
Orion is 7 stars with 4 making up his shoulders and feet (+ Orion's Belt). The Big Dipper is 7 stars with 4 in its quadrilateral bowl as is the Little Dipper. The Pleiades/7 Sisters is the 4th most recognizable asterism. Mars returns to the same point in the sky in relation to Earth and the Sun every 47 years.

Astronomers now believe that the star called 2MASS J18082002-5104378 B can be 13.5 billion years old. This is almost as old as our estimates for the universe itself.
Known as the Old Star, 2MASS J18082002-5104378 B can be one of the oldest stars of the universe. The key to the age is its extremely low metal content, which suggests it was made from materials created by a big bang.
The old star has only 10 percent of the metal content on Earth.
Early stars would mostly be made of hydrogen, helium and some lithium. As these stars burn out, they explode and send into the universe the metals created in their nuclei. These materials would be the basis of newer stars and planets.
While our own sun is 100,000 generations removed from the big bang. It is possible that 2MASS J18082002-5104378 B could be one generation from a big bang.
The old star is surprising because she is surprisingly close to Earth in the Milky Way.
If he says about his rarity, said Kevin Schlaufman, an author from Johns Hopkins University, "this star is probably one of ten million." "He explains something important about the first generation of stars," he continued.
Such an old star helps answer even more questions, especially the age of the universe. The premature star was considered massive and had a relatively short lifetime – perhaps up to 20 million years.
The discovery suggested that our galactic neighborhood could be 3 billion years older than previously thought.
As such, it is hard to find evidence that supports the age of the universe, since most of the first stars are long gone and have moved to various challenges, such as black holes or neutron stars.


Observing the sky with a powerful telescope is already an experience not to forget because we see reality as such, and this reality is incredible.
We will never tire of contemplating the striking lunar relief, the phases of Venus, the solar “flares”, the incredible rings of Saturn or the majestic Jupiter with its moons, as well as double stars, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and many other types of celestial objects of our “neighbor” Universe.
Experts in astronomy and photography will accompany you on a night out to observe the stars, know the main constellations and even catch them with their cameras, learning basic techniques and concepts.
All an experience that will make you enjoy!
Maximum capacity 20 people. Registration at the House of Culture from Monday 25, from 11am to 2pm.


You just never know when you will find yourself under a beautiful starry sky that you need to photograph. The problem is, if you’ve never photographed the night sky before it can be a little tricky. Thankfully the team over at Mango Street has put together a quick and easy guideline to help you.
Their tips in short:
1. Use a wide angle lens.
2. Use the 500 rule.
3. Use live view to help you focus.
4. Use a shutter release or self timer to avoid camera shake.
5. Experiment with exposure times.
If you’d like to see more tips on photographing the night sky be sure to check these videos out, they are great for shooting, but also editing your night sky photographs.

Giovana Zuccarino is an Argentine photographer. She studied Geology at the University of Buenos Aires and photography at IMDAFTA (Instituto Municipal de Arte Fotográfico y Técnicas Audiovisuales).
She explores the characteristics of light and the materiality of photographic tools. Her interests are astronomy, geology, physics, she often combines 19th century photographic techniques, such as daguerreotype, wet-plate collodion, with the use of large format contemporary cameras. She also works with interferential photographic processes, such as holography, and the Lippmann process. She develops much of her work at the Buenos Aires Observatory ( Asociación Argentina de Amigos de la Astronomía) where she teaches astrophotography and used to work with telescopes and large format cameras, which are sometimes build it by herself in the observatory.
The last years she has been with a historical telescope, specially made for the Transit of Venus in 1882 making a series of lunar landscapes, solar and lunar eclipses always working with antiques technics. She travels looking for astronomical events, solar eclipses, meteor shower. Last December she was in Argentine Patagonia taken daguerreotypes and wet collodion plates from the total solar eclipse.She works with telescopes, and large format cameras, as her loved Linhof Technika III, with lenses Schneider-Kreuznach 90 mm, 135 mm and 270 mm.

The Chinese government is forcing some 9,000 villagers in the Guizhou province to leave their homes to make room for an enormous radio telescope that will be used to look for signs of alien life. The building project, which will cost an estimated $184 million, is now under construction and could be complete as early as this September. To soften the blow of being relocated, Chinese officials are offering $1,800 to each person who gives up their home within three miles of the telescope site.

The FAST telescope, short for 500-meter (1,640 feet) aperture spherical telescope, will be the largest of its kind anywhere on Earth. Xinhua, the state news agency, revealed the plan earlier this week, saying that relocating the area’s residents will create “a sound electromagnetic wave environment” for the telescope. Situated in one of the poorest provinces in the country, the telescope will be part of China’s ambitious space exploration plans, which includes a presence on the moon and its own space station.
The flashiest aspect of the new telescope’s work will be the search for extraterrestrial life forms, but that’s not its only function. Its main efforts will involve gathering data on other space phenomena, like pulsars, galaxies, black holes and gas clouds. According to a report by China Daily, the telescope will be comprised of 4,500 mostly triangular panels, each measuring about 36 feet on one side, which make up a giant parabolic dish. Due to its enormous size, the FAST telescope will be able to pick up signals from much farther away than the next largest telescope in China, which means, perhaps, it will be more capable of ‘hearing’ extraterrestrial signals, if there are any out there.

Do You Know What is meant by resident alien & non resident alien?
A person born outside the United States who has legally established temporary or permanent residence in the United States, but has not become a United States citizen.
An alien is any individual who is not a U.S. citizen or U.S. national. A nonresident alien is an alien who has not passed the green card test or the substantial presence test.
Foreign nationals who are green card holders are residents for income tax purposes unless they have never actually been physically present in the U.S. in that status.
Green card holders are resident aliens from their first day of physical presence in the U.S. in that status or earlier if they became resident aliens under the substantial presence test and have an earlier residency start date under that test. Green card holders remain resident aliens for tax purposes until they follow specified procedures for notification of abandonment of their green card status. These rules generally are not well-known among the foreign national community.
If you are an alien (not a U.S. citizen), you are considered a nonresident alien unless you meet one of two tests. You are a resident alien of the United States for tax purposes if you meet either the green card test or the substantial presence test for the calendar year (January 1-December 31).
Many (quite possibly most) green card holders who have departed the U.S. think that their green card status automatically expires with the end date on their Resident Alien Card (it does not) or that they are no longer subject to U.S. income tax obligations after they leave the U.S. Even though green card holders residing abroad might not be allowed to re-enter the U.S. on their unexpired green card by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services because of an overly long absence, they nevertheless continue to be subject to U.S. income tax obligations.

IT HAPPENED! Elon Musk \u0026 NASA FINALLY Reveal New Light Speed Engine!
Is it possible that Elon Musk and NASA have finally defied the law of physics
with their latest development? Perhaps they have because NASA is on the
verge of creating a nearlightspeed engine that defies physics laws, a
concept for an engine that can accelerate to 99 percent the speed of light
without using any fuel. That might sound like something out of a science
fiction film, but it is not. One of NASA’s engineers is working on something
similar, and it has the potential to defy physics.
What are the plans for these engines? What will it use as fuel if it can’t use
propellant? Will a human be able to travel in a vehicle with a thruster like
this? Is the possibility for fast space travel already here? These are the
questions going through most people’s minds at the moment. So, in today’s
video, we’ll find out the answers to these questions and more. So ensure that
you watch to the end. You don’t want to miss out on anything.

Humanity has dreamed of crossing the astronomical distances separating us
from the ultimate alien destinations for centuries, ever since we realized that
every star we see in the night sky is a Sun just like ours, with possibly its
solar system, planets, and maybe even life.
Even the closest star is more than four lightyears away, while NASA’s Juno
mission achieved the fastest speed a humanbuilt spacecraft has ever
traveled at, that is at 74 km/sec (46 mi/sec). Even at that rate, reaching the
nearest star would take more than 4,000 years.
We have a problem with our human drive to travel everywhere and examine
everything in space. This is a significant problem. After all, it is space. It’s
way too big. Even if we traveled at the fastest possible speed, it would take
us years to reach our nearest star.
Elon Musk’s private spaceflight business SpaceX was founded with the idea
of making life multiplanetary. He claims that relocating humans to other
worlds, such as Mars, could save humanity in the event of a calamity on
Earth, such as a massive asteroid hit.
In 2016, Elon Musk said that there would be two paths for history to take.
One option is that we stay on Earth indefinitely, with an ultimate extinction
event. The alternative is to become a spacefaring civilization, and a multi
planet species, which he hopes we would agree is the right way to go.
The SpaceX founder has frequently expressed his desire to develop
settlements on Mars. Payments, he says, would require a significant number
of people to become selfsustaining.
To make this fantasy a reality, a capable automobile is needed. Still, the
current limits of our technology and physics laws are the two limiting factors
of space travel. Advances in fields such as laser sails, nuclear rather than
chemical propulsion, or producing and controlling antimatter or dark matter
could provide a gamechanging technological breakthrough, and they appear
to be close.
Another human desire is to find solutions to significant problems. NASA
engineer David Burns has been doing precisely that in his spare time. He
claims to have built an engine that can accelerate to 99 percent the speed of
light without fuel.
He has posted it to NASA’s Technical Reports Server under the name \”Helical
Engine,\” It works on paper by exploiting how mass may change at relativistic
speeds, which are close to the speed of light in a vacuum. It hasn’t been
professionally reviewed yet.
This story has created curiosity comparable to that seen in the early days of
the EM Drive, which is understandable. Yes, there have been reports that the
engine may ‘defy physics.’
To put things in perspective, the EM Drive was NASA’s initial step into the
idea of really trying to develop a fasterthanlight engine. So, what exactly is
the EM Drive?
EM Drive is a radio frequency resonant cavity thruster concept first
developed in 2001 by Roger Shawyer, a British Chartered Electrical Engineer
with 48 years of experience in the Space and Defence industries.
Internally reflected microwaves are said to generate thrust, violating the law
of conservation of momentum and other fundamental considerations. The
device has been dubbed the \”Impossible Drive\” by the media.
Explanations for how the EmDrive might work go beyond what is known
about physics. Perhaps it’s interacting with the vacuum energy of space
quantum time, even though spacequantum time doesn’t allow anything to
push off of it.
Perhaps our sense of forwarding motion has been destroyed. Maybe it’s
brandnew physics, as the EmDrive tests have revealed.
There is no official design for this device, and none of the people who claim
to have invented it has committed to detailing how it might work as a
thruster or what components make it up, making it hard to tell whether a
given thing is one.

What the fuck, I'm going to the moon?!
It's 2013. We've done a lot of amazing stuff on this planet we call Earth. From electricity to lamborginui's it's been a wild ride in the progression of human kind on Earth. She has taken so much of our negative energy we have produced since the Beginning and harvested it within her own body (causing volcanoes, hurricanes, and tornadoes to occur) eventually having to spit out all of the (think about inhaling and exhaling) energy killing her children as sacrifice. She's tired. We've used her for so long. And now she is ready for us to leave- so she can be created new. That's right folks- the end of the world is here; there is nothing more to be harvested on Earth. Our supplies are low, our people are moving slower than before, and it's time that the conscious one's take action. There is so much space int he world, but what about all the time and space in the universe that has YET to be explored? What if there are other Earth's we can explore with much more to offer? A planet with enough space to create loving experiences freely and openly. A planet where paradise exists everyday. In this lifetime I will be leading a group of people on a space excursion to the moon, and through this journey will we not only discover more about ourselves, but we will learn where we truly came from and find the sister planet that was created for us by the Gods to move to when the time was right. The time is now. Action is being taken. People are already starting to realize that there isn't much more to be done on Earth, and we should go out and find new things. I say let's do it! Until next time, -Olivia

Shabbat Parashat Vayeitzei |5770
Ask the Rabbi: Kri’at Shema
Question: Regarding the machloket between the Magen Avraham (= MA) and the Gra on the times of the day, why are we lenient like the Gra in regard to questions of d’oryata (Torah-level laws) such as sof z’man Kri’at Shema (=szks)?
Answer: Before discussing the machloket between the Gra and the MA, let us see what is agreed upon. Daytime begins at alot hashachar (=alot), over an hour before sunrise (henetz hachama = netz); night and the new halachic day begin at tzeit hakochavim (=tzeit; when the stars come out) (Megilla 20b). In Talmudic times, daytime hours were counted from 1 to 12, as people determined the time by looking at the sun’s angle. In the middle of those 12 hours, the sun is directly above head (on the east-west axis) (Pesachim 11b), meaning there must be astronomical symmetry between the beginning and end points of the count. The gemara (Pesachim 94a) says that there are 4 mil (the time it takes to walk app. 4 kilometers) in between alot and netz and also between shki’at hachama (= shki’a - sunset) and tzeit.
The basic difference between the opinions is as follows. The MA (see 58:1; 233:2) starts and ends all calculation from the halachic bookends of day and night, alot and tzeit, which adds 4 mil on either end of sunrise-sunset. Therefore, szks (= the end of the 3rd hour of the day), is well before the sun is at 45 degrees above the horizon (1/4 of the time the sun is visible). The Gra calculates from sunrise to sunset, and therefore szks is at 45 degrees. It is indeed astronomically logical that people did not count the progress of the sun from or until a time when it was well beneath the horizon.
While each approach has advantages and disadvantages, it cannot be decided in a vacuum because the machloket is linked to an even more important one (see Am Mordechai, Berachot 2). Days (including Shabbat) lasts until sheki’a, enter a period of halachic doubt known as bein hashemashot, followed by definite night at tzeit (Shabbat 34a). We rule that bein hashemashot is 3/4 of a mil (appr. 15 minutes) long (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 261:2). Since daytime begins 4 mil before netz, there is a lack of symmetry (of 3 1/4 mil) between the beginning and end of daytime in relation to the appearance and disappearance of the sun. Rabbeinu Tam (Shabbat 35a) explains that “sheki’a” is not what we call sunset but is around an hour later, until which time it is still definitely day. (His idea of the sun finishing travelling the “thickness of the earth” fits an ancient astronomical conception but certainly not a modern one). Thus Shabbat does not begin or end until more than an hour after sunset. The Gra (OC 261) posits that sheki’a is the visible sunset and after around a quarter of an hour (in Talmudic latitudes) it is definite night. This machloket is linked to the aforementioned MA (who accepts Rabbeinu Tam) and Gra as follows. According to the MA, sunset, like sunrise, is not a halachic time. According to the Gra, tzeit cannot be a bookend, because it does not mirror alot hashachar and thus we use neitz and sheki’a.
Whose opinion is accepted? The gemara (Shabbat 35a) says that Shabbat is fully over by the time three medium stars are visible (without “light pollution”). Thus, the Gra’s argument that keeping Shabbat at least 72 minutes after sunset is “contradicted by our sight” is powerful. The Gra’s impact (as well as the Rambam and the Ba’al Hatanya) on the greater “Lithuanian” world, the difficulty (including scientific evidence) of Rabbeinu Tam’s approach, and the difficulty of finishing Shabbat so late in northern latitudes probably contributed to the fact that historically most communities accepted the Gra’s basic approach regarding the night. (See a variation in Igrot Moshe, OC I, 24.) This is despite the fact that the Shulchan Aruch (ibid.) and most Rishonim agree with Rabbeinu Tam (see sources in Yabia Omer II, OC 21).
Some people have decided to adopt the MA for szks, which is not so difficult; others keep Shabbat until late due to its severity (not all are aware of the linkage). All of these practices are legitimate.

Apparently it’s very rare that the lunar eclipse coincides with the winter solstice. The last time was in 1638. The next time will be in 2094.
Winter solstice will be in the afternoon. And the day will get longer after that. Yay!
The lunar eclipse will be in the morning. 2:40AM!!! Uhm … I want to see it .. just like the one in 2008 (another post here) .. but I can see the moon now, which means at 2:40am tomorrow, it’ll be behind some tall buildings. Which means if I want to see it, I have to go out in the cold. Hmmm… I think I’ll see it in my dreams this time … 😉
Update (Dec. 21st): there are some nice pictures on flickr.Share On:


On Thursday 15th November 2012 all the pupils in Years 7 and 8 visited @Bristol the Science museum in Bristol. The main focus of the visit was to experience the hands-on activities and exhibitions, as well as attending a science theatre show investigating forces and explosions and then visiting the Planetarium to explore the Solar System.
The dynamic and energetic Science show ‘Launch it!’ investigated forces and explosions. The pupils were actively involved in decisions over weight, mass, speed and friction as they explored the forces at work when launching a rocket.
In the unique and immersive setting of @Bristol’s Planetarium, students observed the motions of the Sun, Moon and stars across the sky and looked at how this relates to Earth’s place within our Solar System. They were also challenged to make similar observations from the surfaces of other planets and to think about how this relates to the nature of the Solar system.
We went by mini bus and it took an hour and a half. It was definitely worth it! We were allowed to wander around the museum for a while and twice we had interactive talks. The first talk was called the planetarium and it was about space and what the stars look like from different places (cities, countryside and the moon). It was really interesting. The second talk was about forces called the “Launch it show!” It was really fun because there were a lot of explosions. My favourite explosion was the one with vitamin C tablets in little bottles with the lids on them and the gas let off couldn’t fit in the bottle so exploded. It was a really good day and I would love to go again!
It was great. We were split into groups I was grouped with George and Joel. There was a rocket machine and a parachute. It hits the roof and falls down to the ground. There were lots of water machines. The presenter told us about space and planets, it was cool!
The Trip was great!
Upon arriving at the museum we were told to split into groups, and have fun, until we had to go to the planetarium. There was loads of stuff to do, over 300 to be exact! These included, many hands-on exhibits like the one where we had to put our fingers under a special light, allowing us to see our veins! Afterwards we went to the “Studio” and watched the “Launch it show!” and it was amazing!
I really hope we can go again in the near future
We had a great time. We went upstairs and downstairs. Our favourite places were the magnetic sand, the animation and the big bubble. We also went in the planetarium and a man called John showed us a lot about the sun and space.
It took 2 hours to get there but was so worth it. When we got there, there was a water path and a regular path then there was an computer that showed where the planets, the earth’s core, the moon and the sun were. We were allowed 2 hours to walk around in our groups. We could put ourself in a bubble and that was really cool, then for 25 mins we were in the planetarium. It was fun. Then we had lunch and went to the science studio. That was really fun, especially when they put water and vitamin c together which exploded. I really enjoyed my time at the science museum.
When we arrived we were greeted by an assistant and he told us the rules. Then we went off in groups of 5. There were 300 different things to interact with. I was great fun. Just before lunch we went to the planetarium to watch a “3D” video with guided us through the solar system. I learned that that there is a new planet in our solar system call “planet X”. My favourite thing there was the scanner that allowed us to see our veins. It was an EPIC trip!!!
The trip to Bristol was really fun, even if though we had the long drive there. When we got there, there was lots of stuff to do and we had a long look around in groups. We went in the planetarium, it was lots of fun. In the planetarium we learnt about the Universe and saw stars, it was brilliant. After that we had some time to look around again. Then we went to the studio and saw lots of forces and how they work.
We went to Bristol’s science museum. It had over 350 things to do. They had things like heart rate monitors and treadmills which powered a water machine, it looked like a big hamster wheel. There was also a planetarium which showed you lots of stars and the solar system and the sun at it’s different points in the day. The best bit was the bubble maker it made huge bubble which stretched a long way if you were fast enough. There was also a studio where they showed you about gasses and how they work to produce forces and power.
When we got there we played on the games then we went to the planetarium and we learnt about space and stars and the moon. After the planetarium we went to the studio and we learnt about forces and it had a lot of bangs. It was brilliant. I loved it and I can’t forget the big hamster wheel. It felt a bit weird but it was brilliant. I loved it and I would like to go back there again.
First we went to the ‘Picnic room’ where we dropped off our bags and then we chose groups of the minimum of 3 and went around the whole of the upstairs and downstairs rooms. On the first floor there were lots of different experiments such as a hamster wheel which you could run on, water works, human parts experiments and more…… on the top floor was a bubble area where you could make yourself go inside a bubble, make a bubble sheet, then there was also magnetic black sand, make your own animations, and a quiz! At about 12:15 we met up with the others and went to a planetarium to watch a video explaining all about space! Then we went down to have lunch and went to the shop. The very last thing we did after lunch was go into the studio and we learned about different gases (which could set on fire, which was best for going into space) and forces that were pulling us onto the ground but also what was keeping us up from sucking into the ground. Overall it was a very fun day and we hope to go again!
This was a very hands on museum and we able to do many different things, such as creating an animated video and then adding sound to it. We spent all day there and I really enjoyed it. There was also a leaning room where a ball rolled up hill. We then went into the Planetarium where we explored space! We then watched a Science show where we discovered different types of forces and what effect they had on us. I really enjoyed it and would love to go again.
There were about 300 activities to do. We went to a planetarium show telling us about the planets which was really good. Then we went to a show that told us about rocket fuel. That was brilliant.
Once we got there we were greeted by a kind chap. He told us what we were going to do and that we would have a lot of free time. After that we went into the main picnic area. We were told to put our bags down in some big crates. Once we sat down we were told to put on wrist bands so we could do most activities. After that Mr Housecraft told us how much time we had and said we had to get into groups. I was in a group with Ross and Lawrence. We looked around most of the museum but didn’t get to see all of it because there was so much of it. At the end of the day we all went to the planetarium and a forces show. After that we had to go. I loved the museum; I hope I can go again.
When we got their we were given a wrist band with a barcode. Then once we got into our groups we went around and had look and there was loads of things to press and see and it helped me to understand how science works a bit better. The first thing my group came to was the wheel where you walk on it and it feels like you’re going up but your autally not. My favourite thing was the leaning room. It felt really weird. Overall I enjoyed the trip and hope to go again.


Large Underground Xenon at UC Davis
The LUX (Large Underground Xenon) experiment is the world’s largest dark matter detector of its kind. It uses the two-phase time projection chamber (TPC) technique to search for WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), which are the leading candidates for dark matter. Dark Matter comprises 23% of the energy density of the universe. Detecting its interactions with normal matter, and studying its properties, is one the most challenging problems in modern day physics.
Because WIMPs are expected to interact ever so feebly with normal matter, a detector with a large target mass is required. LUX utilizes a total of 350 kg of liquid xenon, making it the most sensitive xenon TPC ever built and operated. Liquid xenon also has special properties that make it ideally suited for rejecting backgrounds, thus enhancing the probability for LUX to detect a WIMP-induced signal.
LUX is located at the SURF (Sanford Underground Research Facility) in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It has been deployed in an underground cavern at a depth of 4850’, which was also the home of an earlier experiment by Nobel Laureate Ray Davis, who detected neutrinos from the sun using his detector filled with chlorine. The UC Davis team played a key part in designing, constructing, commissioning, calibrating and operating the detector over the past seven years.
New LUX results released on October 30, 2013 in a live broadcast from SURF. We have achieved the most stringent dark matter limits in the world.

This was made not only to celebrate the upcoming Wolfgun release (Beyond the Stars), but the up and coming release of the Road to Jupiter Virtual Vacation Destination (Road to Jupiter CD). The Juno space probe also reached Jupiter when I made this image (July 5, 2016), and I feel that it is the right time for perfect, endless joy to begin.
Road to Jupiter is a very important album to me, and Wolfgun’s work has been an ongoing source of inspiration. I cannot express in words the effect this music has on me. Thank you, Wolfgun. The above image was painted in a program called playscii which is amazing!


On March 19th, the University of Cincinnati’s new Space Research Institute for Discovery and Exploration will host a virtual meeting with NASA Glenn Research Center called “The Future of Aeronautics: Connecting UC, NASA and Industry in Ohio.”
The institute, part of UC’s new 10-year strategic plan — Research2030 — will work towards colonizing Mars within 50 years, robotic and human-tended missions beyond Earth’s orbit, and the rapidly growing commercial space industry.

How to Talk About Science and Space
When someone suggested a post about space and science at the Secret Kaplan Blog Meeting, everyone around the table looked at me. I love space stuff, and weird science, and I like it when I'm in a pub and I meet someone else who likes to talk about these things. But I noticed that it was difficult for non-native English speakers to talk about some science and space topics, because there's quite a lot of special vocab to learn.
If you like talking about these topics too, here are a few words and phrases to help you learn how to talk about science and space in English.
Here are a few things you might talk about while enjoying a pint with a fellow physics fan:
Atom - An individual element, like Hydrogen or Oxygen. Atoms join together to form more complicated chemicals.
Molecule - A group of atoms connected by electrical charge to form a chemical
Subatomic Particles - very tiny pieces of atoms that are easier to describe than to see. These include protons, neutrons and electrons, which are made up of quarks, leptons, mesons and bosons.
The Standard Model - Today's "best theory" for how everything in the universe fits together. Includes Einstein's Relativity, but struggles with Quantum Physics
Einstein's Relativity - Theories by Albert Einstein about things like how gravity works, why the speed of light is the fastest anything can go, and how black holes might work. Relativity describes how very big things interact - anything we can see, from footballs to planets.
Quantum Physics - Ideas about how things work when they are far too small to see. Strangely, the smaller things are, the less they behave like things we can see.
Genetic Engineering - Changing something's genes (the "code" that makes a plant or animal the way it is) to make it stronger, healthier, or to protect it against disease. The abbreviation GMO means "genetically modified organism", and usually refers to really big potatoes and things like that.
Large Hadron Collider - A huge science lab in Switzerland and France. It is built around a huge tunnel that lets scientists speed atoms up to almost the speed of light and crash them into each other to see what comes out
The Higgs Boson - What scientists at the LHC were trying to find, and did find late in 2012. It is a subatomic particle that makes matter weigh something
Now that you know some science vocabulary, these words will help you talk about space and space exploration:
Astronomy: The study of space. Don't confuse it with "Astrology", which is the study of how constellations can predict our future.
Orbit: When something in space spins around something bigger. The moon orbits the Earth.
Space Shuttle: The retired space planes that NASA used for 30 years to send men and equipment into space
SpaceX: A company that is developing new ways of sending material into space without needing people on board
International Space Station: An orbiting station built by American, European, Asian and Russian space agencies
Curiosity Rover: A robot sent to Mars to learn about whether there could have once been life on the "red planet"
Voyager I: A small, unmanned space ship launched in the 1970s that is now leaving the solar system
Black Hole: A collapsed star that has so much gravity, not even light can escape (so it appears completely black)
Asteroid: A piece of rock floating through space. Some companies are making plans to mine them for platinum and ice for water.
Meteor: A piece of rock that hits the earth
Meteorite: A piece of a piece of rock that hits the earth, and makes it all the way to the ground without burning up
How to Talk About Space and Science in English
If you find yourself at the pub, and someone wants to talk about these topics, here are a few tips:
- Find out if they have read any of the same books. If you've both read Steven Hawking's A Brief History of Time, then you can talk about the ideas in the book, even if you both read different translations.
- If you don't understand something, ask the other person to explain the idea slowly. You might have a word for it in your own language, but just not know it in English.

Scientists Hear Earliest Echoes of Big Bang
18 March 2014
Scientists say they have discovered evidence of the “dynamite” that blew up the Big Bang.
The sun sets behind BICEP2 (in the foreground) and the South Pole Telescope (in the background).
The BICEP2 telescope's focal plane consists of 512 superconducting microwave detectors, developed and produced at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The tiny temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background (shown here as color) trace primordial density fluctuations in the early universe that seed the later growth of galaxies.
Gravitational waves from inflation generate a faint but distinctive twisting pattern in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background, known as a 'curl' or B-mode pattern.
Graduate student Justus Brevik tests the BICEP2 readout electronics.

Westwood’s three FIRST Lego League teams took part in a scrimmage at the Middle School. The scrimmage had 4 parts, team building activities, presentation of invention ideas, presentation of their robots and a test run for the robots. Each team needed to come up with an invention idea that could solve a common problem for space exploration. The “Blockheads” team came up with a sticky belt for collecting floating trash in spaceships. The Flying Burritos team thought up a virtual reality environment to help with astronaut loneliness. Lastly, the Taikonauts team suggested a satellite that could collect trash in space. All teams performed wonderfully and are ready for the competition.


Astronomy is inherent in South American countries like Bolivia as typical discussions about cultural astronomy are in relation to the Andean constellations. Although astronomy is not included as a subject in the country’s education system, the Bolivian San Agustin Remote Observatory provides instruments for constellation observations to amateur astronomy clubs and schools.
Supported by the San Agustín Educational Foundation (FESA) and funded by the country’s 2021 funding scheme for Europlanet Public Engagement. The initiative aims to encourage inclusive participation in high-quality educational activities as well as to develop sustainable innovations through collaboration and research. The observatory puts in place instrumentations in the city of Cochabamba that can create significant impact.
The project had put in place instrumentations for physical and management structures for the creation of an efficient observatory. The results made a significant impact in archaeoastronomy outreach activities in sout America.
What Can Be Gleaned from Archeoastronomy
The interest in archeoastronomy in South America, stems from the desire to investigate prehistoric astronomic knowledge that made the ancient Incas place great importance to the constellations. Their fascination for the star formations appearing in the Andean night sky came with reverence as the constellation were the objects of their worship.
The Desire to Investigate the Ancient Incas and Their Worship of Celestial Bodies
The Inca civilization fluorished in the Andes mountains between the 12th and 15th centuries. Although their religious beliefs were complicated, they recognize that there is a creator (Viracocha). They also believed in a Sun god and a Moon god. Aside from the constellations, they also worshipped trees, large boulders, streams and waterfalls, as it was their belief that the spirits that existed in natural objects provide protection and guidance to worshippers. Temples and pillars were built with precision to ensure that they can be witnesses to the rising and setting of the sun, moon and stars as they are crucial events.
To the Cusco Incans, astral positions were important for agriculture as farmers believed that some crops cultivated in radial plots existing under a sky that mimics a specific astromonic event, will results in bountiful harvests. Although astronomy today is no longer practised as a religion, the introduction and subsequent evolutions of astronomy instrumentations, enabled amateurs astronomers, teachers and researchers to access information and tangible contributions in the field of astronomy.
Today, believers in astrology benefit from computerized observations collected by observatories. Gathered in by way of narrow band filters, corrective optics, solar telescopes and innovative accessories that help in generating a great compilation of astronomical knowledge and data. Twelve thousand years ago ancient nomadic tribes presumably followed the paths toward the north node in leo. It appears that they had shed their hunter-gatherer way of life as they found it more beneficial to permanently engage in agriculture in South America


Tonight’s superzoom video of the moon is a little bit like dancing with the moon. It’s a little challenging to hold it steady on superzoom.
I’d look for an American flag, but I think that might be pushing it a tad.. what do you think?
I also read that all but one of the American flags that were placed on the moon are still standing (per NASA). The only problem is they have all turned white – bleached by sunlight. Imagine that!
peace out ✌

- This fact was established in the $1730$s by French survey expeditions to Equator near the Equator and Lapland in the Arctic, which found that around the middle of the earth the arc was about a kilometer shorter.
- One of the unsettled scientific questions in the late 18th century was the exact nature of the shape of the earth.
- The length of the one-degree arc would be less near the equatorial latitudes than the poles.
- One way of doing that is to determine the length of the arc along a chosen longitude or meridian at one degree latitude separation.
- While it was generally known that the earth was not a sphere but an ‘oblate spheroid’ more curved at the equator and flatter at the poles, the question of ‘how much more’ was yet to be established.


This activity will include the design, development, assembly and testing of a XFM-CS X-ray flux monitor for cubesats instrument with a baseline spectrum of 0. The space-based detection of X-rays is used for space science as well as space weather related activities.
This instrument will be geared towards monitoring and forecasting of space weather phenomena and should be capable of detecting all flares of at xfm dating class M1 and above with a cadence of 1 minute and on-board processing times less than 1 second.
The unit will be designed to be flown on a cubesat and as xfm dating will be accommodated on a single cubesat unit, the cubesat bus shall be developed under a separate activity and the final cubesat may have a 2u or 3u configuration.
As such this development shall include the xfm dating ofsystem requirements, system-level design, detailed subsystem design of the front xfm dating sensor unit with electronics and the back-end electronics, thermal modelling of the instrument, testing on a subsystem level, and assembly and testing of the complete system.

Adler Planetarium’s Youth Leadership Council members pose with Dr. Peggy Whitson during an intimate gathering the night before the Women in Space Science Award Celebration luncheon.
Cynthia Ballew told us how the awards celebration began:
“We created the Women in Space Science award because we recognized the serious problem of the “leaky pipeline” of young women in the physical sciences, which can begin as elementary school and results in a drastic under-representation of women at the highest levels of these disciplines.
Moneeka Taylor, Laneah Allen, Endya Black, student attendees from Rowe Clark Math & Science Academy
“We were very excited about the concept of highlighting role models for girls in the sciences, so launched this award, now in its seventeenth year, to honor and celebrate incredible women who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of space science and tell their success stories as inspiration to the next generation!
Dr. Michelle Larson and Dr. Peggy Whitson
“We have honored some of the brightest and most influential leaders in the world, from actual rocket scientists to astronomers who have made discoveries that have changed the face of science, from record-setting astronauts to pioneers in private space exploration – all with deeply inspiring stories.”

Submillimeter observations can test our understanding of interstellar chemistry in many important ways. Submillimeter observations can help identify heating and cooling processes in molecular clouds i. The UV-radiated surfaces of molecular clouds harbor a rich photochemistry that serves as an excellent testing grounds for theories of molecule formation and dissociation. Evolved dying stars undergo periods of brief but potent mass loss. This ejected material forms dust and molecular gas which allows astronomers to probe dust formation, the enrichment of matter by stellar nucleosynthesis, and stellar winds.
The capability of exploring the starforming properties of galaxies at high redshift via [CII] spectroscopy is tantalizing. Very large bandwidth observations of apparently "blank" regions of sky like the Hubble Deep Field see image above should yield many detections of [CII], which allows the determination of redhsifts, distances, and gross star formation rates. A microwave-sensitive telescope like the HHT can also probe the edge of the observable Universe directly, which is of interest to cosmologists. This radiation stems from about 1 million years virtually a blink of an eye, cosmologically speaking after the Big Bang, when the Universe had expanded and cooled to an extent that atoms could form; leaving light waves to travel freely through space.
Until that point, the Universe was ionized, and too dense and hot for light to travel far without interacting with matter. The so-called "last scattering surface" marks the epoch when the Universe became "transparent" and not "opaque".

The event is the ninth in a series of meetings gathering scientists working on astroparticle physics, cosmology, gravitation, nuclear physics, and related fields. For decades scientific researchers have wondered how the solar system formed and evolved. Within these, most of the interstellar hydrogen has formed the molecule H 2 molecular hydrogen. Other, more complex molecules are also present in much smaller quantities.
Giant molecular clouds have densities of hundreds to thousands of atoms per cm 3 , much denser than interstellar space is on average. Because of their high density, molecular clouds block ultraviolet starlight, the main agent for heating most interstellar gas. Giant molecular clouds are also the sites where new stars form, as we will discuss below. It is in these dark regions of space, protected from starlight, that molecules can form.
Chemical reactions occurring both in the gas and on the surface of dust grains lead to much more complex compounds, hundreds of which have been identified in interstellar space. Among the simplest of these are water H 2 O , carbon monoxide CO , which is produced by fires on Earth, and ammonia NH 3 , whose smell you recognize in strong home cleaning products.

You don’t need a telescope or a pair of binoculars to enjoy a starry night. If you’re staying somewhere outside of the city, head out at night with the kids or your beau to enjoy some stargazing. Yes, it requires a bit of patience but if you do it right, it can be quite the experience. Be prepared by taking out a comfy blanket and pillows, layers of clothing (if it’s a cool night) and just relax and enjoy the universe. You might even catch a few shooting stars. Don’t forget to make a wish!
