Are We Alone?
23 Feb 2015, 15:42 UTC
The world is hot, and getting hotter. But higher temperatures aren’t the only impact our species is having on mother Earth. Urbanization, deforestation, and dumping millions of tons of plastic into the oceans … these are all ways in which humans are leaving their mark. So are we still in the Holocene, the geological epoch that started a mere 11,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age? Some say we’ve moved on to the age of man – the Anthropocene. It’s the dawn of an era, but can we survive this new phase in the history of our planet? Guests: • Pat Porter - Relative • Jonathan Amos – Science writer for the BBC in London • Gaia Vince – Writer, broadcaster, former editor for New Scientist, news editor of Nature, and author of Adventures in the Anthropocene: A Journey to the Heart of the Planet We Made • David Grinspoon – Astrobiologist, senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona • Francisco Valero – Emeritus physicist and research scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego

The Star Spot
23 Feb 2015, 02:00 UTC
Feature Guest: Kevin Shortt It’s a year that saw ups, such as the Dawn mission which became the first to study a dwarf planet. It was a year that experienced downs, like the tragic explosion of SpaceShipTwo and questions over the incident’s implication for space tourism. Through the ups and downs 2014 has been one fascinating year for space exploration. For a retrospective on the year that was, and a look at what’s on the horizon in 2015, today i’m joined at The Star Spot by Kevin shortt, the International Relations Officer for the Canadian Space Society. And on the next episode Kevin Shortt will rejoin me here at The Star Spot for an international survey of the world’s contribution to space exploration. As new nations become major players how will our efforts to explore the unknown change in 2015 and beyond. Current in Space Tony and Anuj both wax poetic. Tony explains how the door has just opened on the road to Europa, Jupiter's ocean world and a candidate int he search for life. Then Anuj on the very long road of Voyager, 40 years travelling and just getting started. About Our Guest Kevin Shortt has worked in the ...

The subtle glow of the Milky Way arcs high across the sky early this evening. If you’re away from pesky city lights, look for it stretching from the southeast to almost directly overhead and then down to the northwest. The band of light we see as the Milky Way is the combined glow of millions of stars in the disk of our home galaxy. The disk is about a hundred thousand light-years wide, and we’re more than half way out toward its edge. On summer evenings, we face the heavily populated center of the galaxy, so the Milky Way is brighter and thicker. At this time of year, though, it’s far less impressive because we’re looking away from the center of the galaxy and toward its thinly settled outskirts. In fact, the point that’s directly opposite the galactic center is high overhead in early evening, between the bright stars Capella and Aldebaran. Even though the Milky Way looks relatively thin at this time of year, we do see a collection of some of the brightest stars in the night sky. Many of those stars are in the Orion spiral arm — the same one that holds our own solar system. ...

The Sun looks constant and steady, but it’s not. It goes through an 11-year cycle that produces dramatic changes on its surface and in its hot outer atmosphere. These changes can have a direct impact on daily life here on Earth — especially on our technology. So a better understanding of this cycle can help keep things running smoothly. To that end, NASA launched a satellite to study the peak of the solar cycle 35 years ago today. Known as the Solar Maximum Mission — Solar Max for short — it needed a little help to get the job done. The craft failed less than a year after launch. But in 1984, space shuttle astronauts repaired it in orbit, giving it five more years of life. The peak of the solar cycle produces a lot of dark sunspots, which are magnetic storms on the Sun’s surface that are big enough to swallow Earth. But it also produces giant explosions known as solar flares, as well as massive eruptions of hot gas. When these outbursts reach Earth, they can zap satellites, force airlines to re-route flights, and even knock out power grids on the ground. You might expect that the Sun ...
