Behind the Webb

Episode 24: The X Factor

22 Jul 2014, 04:00 UTC The James Webb Space Telescope is being tested at a number of facilities, including some operated by NASA. One of these locations is in Huntsville, Ala., at the Marshall Space Flight Center. Engineers are repurposing a test chamber originally built for another one of NASA's Great Observatories, the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Chandra was launched into space 15 years ago and continues to be a vital contributor to our understanding of the universe. Behind the Webb's Mary Estacion takes us to Marshall to explore Webb and Chandra's common bond.

Are We Alone?

A Stellar Job

21 Jul 2014, 07:00 UTC The stars are out tonight. And they do more than just twinkle. These boiling balls of hot plasma can tell us something about other celestial phenomena. They betray the hiding places of black holes, for one. But they can also fool us. Find out why one of the most intriguing discoveries in astrobiology – that of the potentially habitable exoplanet Gliese 581g – may have been just a mirage. Plus, the highest levels of ultraviolet light ever mentioned on Earth’s surface puzzles scientists: is it a fluke of nature, or something manmade? And a physicist suggests that stars could be used by advanced aliens to send hailing signals deep into space. Guests: Paul Robertson – Postdoctoral fellow, Penn State Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds Mike Joner – Research professor of astronomy at Brigham Young University Nathalie Cabrol – Planetary scientist, SETI Institute Anthony Zee – Theoretical physicist at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara Descripción en español
