Star Shot to Oumuamua!

Oumuamua is so last year, lucky Angry just mentions it twice. Have you heard about the new mini-Moons we had, flew away, but will flyby again. We should prepare for the next mini-Moon to send a Dart Mission to capture the asteroid. After we stick it with a dart to collect rocks, we drive rebar into it deeply with boosters to aim the minimoon into the Moon, so we can mine the Helium-3 and other…

Another planet has been detected in the Proxima Centauri star system (top illustration). Proxima Centauri is part of the Alpha Centauri triple star ✨ system where Proxima Centauri revolves around the other two. . Currently, Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to the Sun ☀️ located at about 4.2 light years away. . Being a cool small red dwarf (smaller than the Sun but larger than the planet Jupiter), Proxima Centauri has at least one more planet (Proxima b) that revolves around it. . While the newly discovered planet maybe too far away to be habitable by humans or for life to have originated, Proxima b lies in the habitable zone where water 💧 can exist as a liquid and is currently classified as a super Earth 🌎 . . While within the habitable zone, Proxima b might experience intense solar winds up to 2000x greater than the Earth experiences by our Sun. .

Our Milky Way Galaxy: How Big is Space? By Pat Brennan, NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Video credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech What is a light year? "It’s one of the most commonly used celestial yardsticks, the distance light travels in one year. Light zips along through interstellar space at 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second (more than 66 trips across the entire United States, in one second). Multiply that by all the seconds in one year, and you get 5.8 trillion miles (9.5 trillion kilometers). Just for reference, Earth is about eight light minutes from the Sun. A trip at light speed to the very edge of our solar system – the farthest reaches of the Oort Cloud, a collection of dormant comets way, way out there – would take about 1.87 years. Keep going to Proxima Centauri, our nearest neighboring star, and plan on arriving in 4.25 years at light speed. If you could travel at light speed. Which, unless you’re a photon (a particle of light), you can’t, and, by current physics, might never be possible."

Trovati pianeti abitabili sui quali andare a vivere

Scoperte due eso-terre potenzialmente abitabili a 16 anni luce da noi. I nuovi pianeti individuati orbitano attorno alla vicina stella GJ 1002, situata a meno di 16 anni luce di distanza dal Sistema solare, in direzione della costellazione della Balena. Entrambi hanno una massa simile a quella della Terra e orbitano a una distanza dalla loro stella ideale per mantenere l’acqua allo stato liquido, condizione considerata fondamentale per ospitare forme di vita. Un anno su GJ 1002 b, il pianeta più interno, dura solo 10 giorni: tanto, infatti, il pianeta impiega per completare un’orbita attorno alla sua stella. Il secondo corpo celeste del sistema, GJ 1002 c, più distante, percorre interamente la sua orbita in 21 giorni. «La natura sembra determinata a dimostrare che gli esopianeti simili alla Terra sono molto comuni. Con questi due, ne conosciamo già 7 in sistemi vicini», spiega Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, ricercatore dell’Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (Iac), primo autore dell’articolo che riporta la scoperta accettato per la pubblicazione sulla rivista Astronomy & Astrophysics. «La stella centrale è un astro di bassa luminosità, con solo il 12% della massa del nostro Sole. È una sorella gemella di Proxima Centauri, la stella a noi più vicina, e per questo la regione di abitabilità del sistema è situata nelle sue immediate vicinanze», spiega Alessandro Sozzetti, coautore dell’articolo e primo ricercatore presso l’Inaf di Torino.

Rappresentazione artistica del sistema esoplanetario attorno alla stella GJ 1002. Crediti: Alejandro Suárez Mascareño e Inés Bonet Márquez La vicinanza della stella al nostro sistema solare rende entrambi i pianeti, GJ 1002 c in particolare, ottimi candidati per la caratterizzazione atmosferica attraverso lo studio della loro luce riflessa o dell’emissione termica. «Ci aspettiamo di poter investigare la presenza di un’atmosfera attorno a GJ 1002 c, alla ricerca di ossigeno in particolare, utilizzando lo spettrografo Andes, strumento la cui progettazione è a guida italiana, in cui Inaf e fortemente coinvolto e che opererà in futuro sull’Extremely Large Telescope dell’Eso, il più grande telescopio al mondo con il suo specchio principale di ben 39 metri di diametro, in costruzione nel deserto cileno», spiega Sozzetti. Inoltre, entrambi i pianeti hanno le caratteristiche giuste per diventare obiettivi primari di futuri ambiziosi progetti di missioni spaziali in grado di ottenerne immagini dirette, quali LuvEx, recentemente raccomandato a Nasa da un comitato di esperti americani, o Life, al momento oggetto di studio in Europa nel contesto del programma di lungo termine Voyage 2050 dell’Esa. Questa scoperta è stata possibile solo grazie alle osservazioni combinate degli strumenti Espresso e Carmenes. GJ 1002 è stata osservata da Carmenes (Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with Exoearths with Near-infrared and optical Échelle Spectrographs), lo spettroscopio installato al telescopio da 3,5 metri di diametro dell’Osservatorio Calar Alto, in Spagna, tra il 2017 e il 2019. Successivamente, tra il 2019 e il 2021, la stella è stata osservata anche con lo spettrografo Espresso (Echelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanet and Stable Spectroscopic Observations installato al Very Large Telescope dell’Eso, sulle Ande cilene. La combinazione di Espresso e della grande superficie di raccolta della luce messa a disposizione dagli specchi principali del Vlt, ciascuno del diametro di 8 metri, ha permesso di ottenere misure di velocità radiali con una precisione di 30 centimetri al secondo, un risultato fuori dalla portata di quasi ogni altro strumento al mondo. «L’individuazione dei segnali dovuti ai due pianeti nei dati di Carmenes ed Espresso separatamente era tutt’altro che chiara. La loro effettiva combinazione è stata la chiave di volta che ci ha permesso di stabilirne la presenza senza ombra di dubbio. Possiamo ben affermare che in questo caso, grazie all’efficace collaborazione tra gruppi diversi, l’unione fa la forza!», conclude Alessandro Sozzetti. Read the full article

This is what privilege looks like. To be able to use one’s position as the director of a scientific institution to crack a joke publicly while drunk as fuck. I’m really sick and tired of these pranks by people who have no sense of responsibility to a larger community. Top scientist admits 'space telescope image' was actually a slice of chorizo By #ToyinOwoseje, CNN A #French #scientist has apologized after #tweeting a #photo of a slice of #chorizo, claiming it was an image of a #distantstar taken by the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope. #ÉtienneKlein, a celebrated physicist and director at France's Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, shared the image of the spicy Spanish sausage on #Twitter last week, praising the "level of detail" it provided. "Picture of #ProximaCentauri, the nearest star to the #Sun, located 4.2 light years away from us. It was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. This level of detail... A new world is unveiled everyday," he told his more than 91,000 followers on Sunday. The post was retweeted and commented upon by thousands of users, who took the scientist by his word. Things, however, were not quite as they seemed. Klein admitted later in a series of follow-up tweets that the image was, in fact, a close-up of a slice of chorizo taken against a black background. "Well, when it's #cocktailhour, cognitive bias seem to find plenty to enjoy... Beware of it. According to contemporary #cosmology, no object related to Spanish charcuterie exists anywhere else other than on #Earth" After facing a backlash from members of the online community for the prank, he wrote: "In view of certain comments, I feel obliged to specify that this tweet showing an alleged picture of Proxima Centauri was a joke. Let's learn to be wary of the arguments from positions of authority as much as the spontaneous eloquence of certain images." On Wednesday, Klein apologized for the #hoax, saying his intention was "to urge caution regarding images that seem to speak for themselves."

Terraform, Why do the robots need to breath?

I don’t remember seeing the two previous episodes of the trilogy about developing human settlements on Proxima B. However, this one tells us about the first thing needed for a Tara-Mars.?? I have commented about a solar shield to stop the radiation and wind from blowing away the New Mars Atmosphere. I’m sure half of you think we should direct more Sun Rays to Mars to heat the poles. First, we…

From my weekly Sky & Telescope issue. The Parkes radio telescope, also called by its Wiradjuri name Murriyang, detected the signal of interest from Proxima Centauri. CSIRO / A.Cherney. It’s called BLC1, and it’s the closest we’ve ever come to finding intelligent alien life. In 2019, astronomers discovered a radio signal that appeared to come from #proximacentauri , the nearest star to #thesun Though the signal was clearly unnatural in origin, it bore no obvious mark of humanity. The scientists named it Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1, or BLC1, after the state-of-the-art search for extraterrestrial intelligence that made the detection. Until now, no one knew its true nature. #astronomy #looktotheskies #theuniverse #starsinthesky https://www.instagram.com/p/CVp7lI0rtFg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finally completed this piece- “Proxima” (after the star Proxima Centauri) A counterpart for my “Man in the moon”, the two pieces mirror one another, she is the divine feminine, the yin to his yang, they share duality in life. She is feminine and gentle, yet she is dark and has a strong presence as well. To me they stand interconnected sentinels. Examples of a time when we had a deeper understanding and respect for the natural world and it’s Rhythms. They both have a celestial reference, and society has looked to the heavens for millennia for answers and for guidance, both literally, as well as spiritually. They are Reminders of the importance of maintaining and restoring our harmonious balance with the natural world on which we depend on so much for our survival. . . . www.stanislawtrzebinski.com . . . #sculpture #sculptured #sculpting #contemporaryartist #contemporarygallery #contemporaryartwork #artiststudio #southafricanart #collectart #modernartist #artoninstagram #proximacentauri (at Cape Town, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSpFHoCDjMH/?utm_medium=tumblr
