Join astrophysicist Dr. Paige Godfrey on Monday, June 10 beginning at 8 p.m. EDT (00:00UTC) for one of our favorite astronomical events of the year --- the mighty gas giant Jupiter at opposition. Our host will explain what we are seeing through our telescopes at both the Canary Islands and Chile observatories as we focus on our Solar System’s largest planet throughout the night. Being in opposition means that Earth will pass between Jupiter and the Sun and we will get one of the closest and longest looks we have of the planet all year as it is visible all night long. Jupiter won’t be the only focus. The last time Slooh covered this event on April 7, 2017, there were only 67 known moons orbiting Jupiter. Today we know of at least 79, and the Galilean satellites, the four largest moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto will be part of the show as well. Remember that the enormity and brightness of Jupiter make its moons appear tiny in comparison, but these objects are some of the largest known bodies after the Sun and planets in our Solar System. We will be able to see all four moons as they orbit the planet, with Io (the closest moon) passing behind Jupiter during the second half of the night (known as an occultation). Jupiter makes one complete rotation on its axis in just under ten hours (a Jovian day), so this makes for a quickly changing backdrop and allows Slooh’s experts to explain many of the Jovian features we will see that night, including the largest storm in the Solar System - the Great Red Spot. By the end of the night, members will be able to map the entire surface of the planet using the images they capture from the Chile telescopes.

Grammy award winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre joins All Space Considered to discuss his recent composition, Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of Our Universe. The piece was inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope’s iconic Deep Field image, a ten-day exposure of a tiny pinprick of sky that, before the image, appeared to have nothing in it. The Deep Field revealed thousands of galaxies and gave us a new understanding of our place in the universe. Mr. Whitacre will describe the origins of the piece, the artistic process behind its development, and the challenges that arise in bridging the gap between science and art.

The origins of life was exclusively a question in chemistry. However, now we are getting insights from biology. How are these ideas being tested in the lab? A lecture by Professor Nick Lane, University College London 20 May 2019 6pm (UK time) https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/energy-matter-origin-of-life The origin of life is one of the biggest questions in science, but until recently it was, experimentally, a question in chemistry. Now, gene sequences and a better understanding of cell growth under extreme conditions are giving insights from biology. These point to hydrothermal vent environments as ‘incubators’ that could drive growth in a similar way to cells at the origin of life. Professor Lane will discuss how these ideas are being tested in the lab.

May 16, 2019 Phillips Auditorium George Ricker MIT Host: Mercedes Lopez Morales Abstract: Successfully launched in April 2018, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is well on its way to discovering thousands of exoplanets in orbit around the brightest stars in the sky. During its two-year prime survey mission, TESS will monitor more than 200,000 bright stars in the solar neighborhood for temporary drops in brightness caused by planetary transits. This first-ever spaceborne all-sky transit survey will identify planets ranging in size from Earth-sized to gas giants, orbiting a wide variety of host stars, ranging from cool M dwarfs to hot O/B giants. TESS stars are typically 30–100 times brighter than those surveyed by the Kepler satellite; thus, TESS planets are far easier to characterize with follow-up observations. For the first time it will be possible to study the masses, sizes, densities, orbits, and atmospheres of a large cohort of small planets, including a sample of rocky worlds in the habitable zones of their host stars. An additional data product from the TESS mission is its full frame images (FFIs) with a cadence of 30 minutes. These FFIs provide precise photometric information for every object within the 2300 square degree instantaneous field of view of the TESS cameras. In total, nearly 100 million objects brighter than magnitude I= +16 will be precisely photometered during the two-year prime mission. As TESS’s limiting magnitude for stacked FFIs extends to fainter than I= +19, we anticipate the discovery of a wealth of galactic and extragalactic transients during the prime mission, as well as numerous asteroids and NEOs. The initial TESS all-sky survey is well underway, covering 13 observation sectors in the Southern Ecliptic Hemisphere in Year 1, and 13 observation sectors in Year 2. A concurrent deep survey by TESS of regions surrounding the North and South Ecliptic Poles will provide prime exoplanet targets for characterization with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as well as other large ground-based and space-based telescopes coming online in the next two decades. The status of the TESS mission after the first ten observation sectors will be reviewed. The opportunities enabled by TESS’s unique lunar-resonant orbit for an extended mission lasting more than a decade will also be presented.

Watch and discuss live as #SpaceX launches their sixth mission of 2019 and the first mission for the #Starlink network to supply worldwide broadband internet from low Earth orbit. This will be the first of many Starlink launches launching a total of 60 generation 1 Starlink satellites. Each satellite weights 227kg adding up to a total payload mass of 13620kg. The deployment of the satellites will start about one hour after launch in a 440km high low earth orbit. The satellites will use their own onboard krypton fueled ion engines to raise their orbit to the planned 550km operating altitude. The Starlink satellites will enable high bandwidth low latency connection everywhere around the globe. According to tweets of Musk, limited service will be able to start after 7 Starlink launches, moderate after 12. The first stage will try to perform a landing after lifting the second stage together with the payload to about 70 to 90 km. Due to the very high payload mass, the stage will not have enough propellant left on board, so will instead land about 610km offshore on Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY), SpaceX east coast Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS). Tug boat Hollywood and support-ship Go Quest are a safe distance from the landing zone and will return the booster to Port Canaveral after the Landing. Go Navigator and Crew Dragon recovery vessel Go Searcher are about 120km further offshore and will try to recover both payload fairing halves after they parachute back from space and softly touch down on the ocean surface. They two will return to Port Canaveral after the mission. ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights, Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other on-board technology and data sensors visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos Giveaway Rules No Purchase Necessary.

In the last decade, we have established the existence of extragalactic fast radio bursts (FRBs) of sub-millisecond durations, likely originating at cosmologically significant distances. Explaining the FRB phenomenon has proved a compelling challenge to theory, with the number of distinct models only this year being superseded by the 65 reported events. The high FRB occurrence rate (comparable to the core-collapse supernova rate), isotropic-equivalent luminosities comparable to the most luminous quasars, the wide range of intrinsic and propagation-induced phenomenology, and the repetition of at least a sub-sample of objects are particularly noteworthy. FRBs have also opened a powerful new window into otherwise unseen matter in the Universe. Observations of large FRB samples will help assess the baryon contents and physical conditions in the hot/diffuse circumgalactic, intracluster, and intergalactic medium, and test extant compact-object dark matter models. I will review the state of the field and its promise for the future.

I didn't have a guest this week, instead I just answered everyone's questions for an hour. We got through about 40 of them. Questions about the Sun releasing a killer solar flare, capturing asteroids to mine, and if my wife is into space too. 01:11 Is our Sun capable of releasing a super flare? 04:10 How much for a decent starting telescope? 05:20 Is terraforming Mars pointless? 07:08 Will alien life exist in the future? 09:03 Will Dobsonians work in a city? 09:45 What is the space race trying to achieve? 12:31 Can an artificial magnetic field stop space radiation? 14:04 Would I go to Mars? 14:38 Interferometer the size of Mars' orbit? 17:06 Why build bigger telescopes? 18:32 Why isn't everything expanding? 20:18 When is the next Decadal Survey? 21:35 Live telescopes? 21:57 Should we have an international space agency? 23:57 Is there a theoretical upper limit to black holes? 24:20 What will we accomplish in the next 100 years? 25:32 Life on Titan? 27:32 Did we capture any planets or moons from outside the Solar System? 28:32 Can I retire on Mars in 30 years? 29:59 How would we capture an asteroid to mine it? 31:16 Why don't we search for other kinds of life? 33:30 Simulation theory? 36:02 Haven't we tried reusable rockets before? 37:18 Geoengineering to stop global warming? 39:20 Did life ever exist on Mars? 40:43 Any viewers outside the US? 41:34 Any big errors I've made? 43:20 When will we start asteroid mining? 44:27 When will we get a bloopers episode? 45:02 Most exciting project? 47:00 What about Venus? 48:43 Any cancelled projects that make me sad? 49:43 Can we plant trees on other planets? 51:18 Will spacesuits get better? 53:13 Will Mars spacesuits protect from radiation? 54:11 My opinion of nuclear energy? 55:45 Travel to space in our lifetime? 56:25 Will I do a small QA tour? 57:01 Does my wife love space too? 58:10 Does a 2024 Moon landing make sense?

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, May 4 for an instantaneous launch of its seventeenth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-17) at 2:48 a.m. EDT, or 6:48 UTC, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Dragon will separate from Falcon 9’s second stage about 9 minutes after liftoff and attach to the space station on Monday, May 6. The Dragon spacecraft that will support the CRS-17 mission previously supported the CRS-12 mission in August 2017. Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

May 2, 2019 Phillips Auditorium Steve Finkelstein UT Austin Host: Sandro Tacchella Abstract: The reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) was the last major phase transition of the universe, and both the time evolution and spatial variation of this process encode key information about the onset of luminous objects in the universe. While we think that massive stars within star-forming galaxies provide the needed ionizing photons, the observed escape fractions of these photons are too low to complete reionization when combined with typical assumptions. We have devised a new semi-empirical model, utilizing simulation-predicted escape fractions (where only the smallest halos have large escape fractions) in combination with observed galaxy luminosity functions. Using physically motivated priors on the threshold for star-formation based on halo mass rather than a single limiting magnitude, and allowing the ionizing photon production efficiency to evolve as suggested by observations, we find that it is possible for reionization to be completed by z=5.5 with low (5%) average ionizing photon escape fractions. Our model makes a number of testable predictions, including: 1) AGNs contribute non-negligibly to the end of reionization, 2) the neutral fraction at z~7 is only 20%, and 3) significant star-formation must be occurring at z~9-10. I will show observational results from my group at UT Austin testing all of these assumptions, including results from ultra-deep Keck spectroscopy for Lyman-alpha emission at z~7-10, and the discovery of several remarkably bright galaxy candidates at z 9. I will finish by discussing how early observations from JWST will further test these predictions, leading to a much better understanding of how early galaxies formed, and began the reionization process.
