SUMMARY:Solar Orbiter
DESCRIPTION:De Solar Orbiter (SOLO) is een ruimtemissie van de Europese Ruimtevaartorganisatie (ESA) en de Amerikaanse Ruimtevaartorganisatie (NASA)\, het doel is om een observatiesatelliet in een baan rond de Zon te brengen. \nDe onbemande ruimtesonde werd op 10 februari 2020\, om 4:03 (UTC) met een Atlas V-411-raket vanaf lanceercomplex SLC-41 op Cape Canaveral AFS gelanceerd. Vanaf een elliptische baan observeert de Solar Orbiter de Zon op dichte afstand\, tot maar 0\,22 AU (ongeveer een vijfde van de afstand tussen de zon en de Aarde)\, ofwel 48 keer de straal van de Zon. Dit maakt het mogelijk om foto’s te nemen van de zon op hogere resolutie dan ooit tevoren. Vooral de poolregio’s van de Zon zijn met de satelliet veel beter te zien dan vanaf de Aarde. Naast het fotograferen\, observeren en beter in kaart brengen van de Zon doet de ruimtesonde ook onderzoek naar de heliosfeer\, het gebied rond de Zon waar de zonnewind overheerst. De ruimtesonde wordt voortgedreven door een ionenmotor (Solar Electric Primary Propulsion). Deze zet met behulp van zonnepanelen zonlicht om in elektriciteit. Hiermee worden gasatomen elektrisch geladen. Als deze het ruimtevaartuig verlaten stuwen ze door hun reactiekracht het ruimtevaartuig voort. Dit betrekkelijk nieuwe type aandrijving werd met succes getest door de SMART-1\, een observatiesatelliet van ESA die van 2003 tot 2006 in een baan rond de Maan draaide. De Solar Orbiter is de opvolger van twee eerdere ruimtesondes naar de Zon\, de Ulysses (gelanceerd in 1990) en de SOHO (gelanceerd in 1995). Het oorspronkelijke besluit tot de Solar Orbiter-missie werd in 2001 genomen.[2] Na enkele jaren van voorbereidend onderzoek kreeg het programma in 2007 het groene licht voor de formele definitiefase. De Solar Orbiter is onderdeel van het HELEX (Heliophysics Explorers)-onderzoeksprogramma\, samen met de Parker Solar Probe van NASA die in augustus 2018 gelanceerd is en de Zon nog veel dichter benadert dan de Solar Orbiter\, tot maar 9 keer de straal van de Zon. NASA werkt ook mee aan de Solar Orbiter: de organisatie was verantwoordelijk voor de boeking van de Atlas V-lanceerraket en leverde daarnaast ook instrumenten. \nWhy Solar Orbiter is angling towards the Sun’s poles\, klik op afbeelding voor vergroting of hier voor info\n\nLinks:\nSolar Orbiter \nSolar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles

SUMMARY:#UnfoldTheUniverse #JWST James Webb Space Telescope / Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop
DESCRIPTION:The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or “Webb” / called Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop by german scientists Harald Lesch and Josef M. Gaßner) is a space telescope to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope as NASA’s flagship astrophysics mission. \nThe JWST will provide improved infrared resolution and sensitivity over Hubble\, and will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology\, including observing some of the most distant events and objects in the universe\, such as the formation of the first galaxies. The primary mirror of the JWST\, the Optical Telescope Element\, is composed of eighteen 1.32 metres hexagonal mirror segments made of gold-plated beryllium which combine to create a 6.5 metres diameter mirror that is considerably larger than the Hubble’s 2.4 metres mirror. Unlike the Hubble\, which observes in the near ultraviolet\, visible\, and near infrared (0.1 to 1 μm) spectra\, the JWST will observe in a lower frequency range\, from long-wavelength visible light through mid-infrared (0.6 to 28.3 μm)\, which will allow it to observe high redshift objects that are too old and too distant for the Hubble to observe. \nThe telescope must be kept very cold in order to observe in the infrared without interference\, so it will be deployed in space near the Earth–Sun L2 Lagrangian point\, and a large sunshield made of silicon-coated and aluminium-coated Kapton will keep its mirror and instruments below 50 Kelvin (K). The JWST is being developed by NASA — with significant contributions from the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency — and is named for James E. Webb\, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 and played an integral role in the Apollo program. The prime contractor is Northrop Grumman. Development began in 1996 for a launch that was initially planned for 2007 and a 500-million-dollar budget\, but the project has had numerous delays and cost overruns\, and underwent a major redesign in 2005. The JWST’s construction was completed in late 2016\, after which its extensive testing phase began. The launch date was Dec. 25\, 2021. \n\nLinks:\nJames Webb Space Telescope \nJames Webb Space Telescope -ESA \nWebb Home \nWebb Space Telescope \nNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope – Flickr \nJADES will go deeper than the Hubble Deep Fields \nJames Webb Space Telescope / Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop – playlist \nNASA’s Webb In Full Focus\, Ready for Instrument Commissioning \nNieuwe ruimtetelescoop kijkt naar het begin van de tijd – of net ietsje later \nWebb is now orbiting L2 \nPhotons Received: Webb Sees Its First Star – 18 Times \nNASA emails reveal internal discussions over calls to rename James Webb Space Telescope: report \nFirst Images From NASA’s Webb Space Telescope Coming Soon \nNo\, the Big Bang theory is not ‘broken.’ Here’s how we know \nWebb Looks for Fomalhaut’s Asteroid Belt and Finds Much More \nJames Webb spot monsterachtige waterpluim op Enceladus \nWebb Space Telescope’s First Year of Science Celebration \nWebb Discovers Methane\, Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere of K2-18 b \nNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (Flickr) \nThe (Unofficial) JWST Exoplanet Dashboard \nJWST facing potential cuts to its operational budget \nStrongest hints yet of biological activity outside the solar system / New Constraints on DMS and DMDS in the Atmosphere of K2-18 b from JWST MIRI – publication

SUMMARY:Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission
DESCRIPTION:The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is a satellite altimeter jointly developed and operated by NASA and CNES\, the French space agency\, in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and UK Space Agency (UKSA). \nThe objectives of the mission are to make the first global survey of the Earth’s surface water\, to observe the fine details of the ocean surface topography\, and to measure how terrestrial surface water bodies change over time. While past satellite missions like the Jason series altimeters (TOPEX/Poseidon\, Jason-1\, Jason-2\, Jason-3) have provided variation in river and lake water surface elevations at select locations\, SWOT will provide the first truly global observations of changing water levels\, stream slopes\, and inundation extents in rivers\, lakes\, and floodplains. In the world’s oceans\, SWOT will observe ocean circulation at unprecedented scales of 15–25 km (9.3–15.5 mi)\, approximately an order of magnitude finer than current satellites. Because it uses wide-swath altimetry technology\, SWOT will almost completely observe the world’s oceans and freshwater bodies with repeated high-resolution elevation measurements\, allowing observations of variations. \nLinks:\nSurface Water and Ocean Topography at NASA.gov \nOcean Surface Topography from Space at NASA.gov \nCnes project Library at CNES.fr \nAVISO+ portal for SWOT

SUMMARY:JUpiter ICy moons Explorer
DESCRIPTION:The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) is an interplanetary spacecraft in development by the European Space Agency (ESA) with Airbus Defence and Space as the main contractor. \nThe mission will study three of Jupiter‘s Galilean moons: Ganymede\, Callisto\, and Europa\, all of which are thought to have significant bodies of liquid water beneath their surfaces\, making them potentially habitable environments. The mission is not focused on volcanically active Io\, a non-icy moon. The spacecraft launched on 14 April 2023 at 12:14 UTC and will reach Jupiter in July 2031 after four gravity assists and eight years of travel. In December 2034\, the spacecraft will enter orbit around Ganymede for its close up science mission\, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit a moon other than the Moon of Earth. The selection of this mission for the L1 launch slot of ESA’s Cosmic Vision science programme was announced on 2 May 2012. Its period of operations will overlap with NASA‘s Europa Clipper mission\, launching in 2024. \n\n\nNASA’s Juno Is Getting Ever Closer to Jupiter’s Moon Io Links:\nESA’s JUICE \nJuice \nAgenda – JUpiter ICy moons Explorer : launch / Agenda – JUpiter ICy moons Explorer : launch 2nd attempt \nJuice pre-launch press briefing \nHow to follow the Juice launch live

SUMMARY:Cosmic Vision : Euclid space telescope / Euclides
DESCRIPTION:Euclid is a visible to near-infrared space telescope developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium\, the objective of the Euclid mission is to better understand dark energy and dark matter by accurately measuring the acceleration of the universe. \nTo achieve this\, the Korsch-type telescope will measure the shapes of galaxies at varying distances from Earth and investigate the relationship between distance and redshift. Dark energy is generally accepted as contributing to the increased acceleration of the expanding universe\, so understanding this relationship will help to refine how physicists and astrophysicists understand it. Euclid’s mission advances and complements ESA’s Planck telescope (2009 to 2013). The mission is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. Euclid is a medium-class (“M-class”) mission and is part of the Cosmic Vision campaign of ESA’s Science Programme. This class of missions have an ESA budget cap at around €500 million. Euclid was chosen in October 2011 together with Solar Orbiter\, out of several competing missions. Prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, the launch was scheduled on a Soyuz ST-B in 2023; following the invasion\, Euclid will instead be launched on a Falcon 9 Block 5 on 1 July 2023. \nLinks:\nEuclid \nHow to follow the Euclid launch live \nRuimtetelescoop Euclid wil uitvinden waar het heelal van gemaakt is \nEuclid test images tease of riches to come \nEuclid ‘dark universe’ telescope team will unveil new full-color images today (May 23) \nZoom into the first page of ESA Euclid’s great cosmic atlas \nSpace Warps – ESA Euclid / Euclid Galaxy Zoo – help us classify the shapes of galaxies

SUMMARY:Heliophysics Big Year
DESCRIPTION:The Heliophysics Big Year is a global celebration of solar science and the Sun’s influence on Earth and the entire solar system. \nDuring the Heliophysics Big Year\, you will have the opportunity to participate in many solar science events such as watching solar eclipses\, experiencing an aurora\, participating in citizen science projects\, and other fun Sun-related activities. Heliophysics is the study of our star and how it interacts with everything in our solar system. The “Big Year” is a concept that originated with citizen scientists in the bird-watching community. During their Big Year\, birders attempt to observe and study as many bird species as possible during a calendar year\, and we are challenging you to do the same with our Sun. \nLinks:\nThe Heliophysics Big Year \nBig Year

SUMMARY:T Coronae Borealis : Nova Explosion 2024
DESCRIPTION:Star system T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) located 3\,000 light-years away from Earth\, is predicted to\nbecome visible to the unaided eye soon. \nThis could be a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity as the nova ouburst only occurs about every 80 years. T CrB\, last exploded in 1946 and astronomers believe it will do so again between February and September 2024. The star system\, normally magnitude +10\, which is far too dim to see with the unaided eye\, will jump to magnitude +2 during the event. This will be of similar brightness to the North Star\, Polaris. Once its brightness peaks\, it should be visible to the unaided eye for several days and just over a week with binoculars before it dims again\, possibly for another 80 years. As we wait for the nova\, become familiar with the constellation Corona Borealis\, or the Northern Crown — a small\, semicircular arc near Bootes and Hercules. This is where the outburst will appear as a “new” bright star. This recurring nova is only one of five in our galaxy. This happens because T CrB is a binary system with a white dwarf and red giant. The stars are close enough that as the red giant becomes unstable from its increasing temperature and pressure and begins ejecting its outer layers\, the white dwarf collects that matter onto its surface. The shallow dense atmosphere of the white dwarf eventually heats enough to cause a runaway thermonuclear reaction – which produces the nova we see from Earth. \nLinks:\nView Nova Explosion\, ‘New’ Star in Northern Crown

SUMMARY:Plankton\, Aerosol\, Cloud\, ocean Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Plankton\, Aerosol\, Cloud\, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) is a NASA Earth-observing satellite mission that will continue and advance observations of global ocean color\, biogeochemistry\, and ecology\, as well as the carbon cycle\, aerosols and clouds. \nPACE will be used to identify the extent and duration of phytoplankton blooms and improve understanding of air quality. These and other uses of PACE data will benefit the economy and society\, especially sectors that rely on water quality\, fisheries and food security. After being proposed for cancellation under President Trump’s FY 2018 budget\, it was restored by Congress. The PACE project is managed by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The main instrument and bus were designed and built at Goddard Space Flight Center. On 4 February 2020\, NASA announced the selection of SpaceX to launch PACE on a Falcon 9\, at a total cost to NASA of US$80.4 million\, including the launch service and other mission-related costs. The total cost of the mission is $964 million\, which includes spacecraft construction\, launch\, and operations. PACE successfully launched on 8 February 2024 at 07:33. \nLinks:\nPACE

SUMMARY:Dichter bij het Zwarte Gat - tentoonstelling
DESCRIPTION:Zwarte Gaten: Mysterieuze plekken in de kosmos\, die alles opslokken en waar niets\, zelfs licht niet\, uit ontsnappen kan. \nHet zijn misschien wel de spannendste fenomenen van het heelal\, waar ook de wetenschappers nog lang niet alles van begrijpen. Iedereen heeft van zwarte gaten gehoord en heeft er wel een beeld bij. De spannende\, extreme eigenschappen van deze plekken zijn inspiratie geweest voor tal van verhalen\, films en games. Er wordt al decennialang onderzoek naar gedaan en de eerste afbeelding van een zwart gat staat nog vers in het geheugen gegrift. Maar wat zijn zwarte gaten dan eigenlijk?  Zijn ze echt gevaarlijk? Moeten we zwarte gaten vrezen? Is een zwart gat wel een gat? In de nieuwe tentoonstelling van Rijksmuseum Boerhaave word je stapsgewijs door deze boeiende materie geloodst\, zodat je aan het einde van je bezoek iets dichter bij het zwarte gat bent gekomen. In de tentoonstelling zijn bijzondere objecten en topstukken te zien\, zowel uit de eigen collectie van het museum als bruiklenen van onder meer Roger Penrose persoonlijk\, het Rijksmuseum\, Kunstmuseum Den Haag en het Science Museum in Londen. Zo zijn er prenten van Escher\, de eerste brief van Escher aan Penrose\, persoonlijke objecten van zwartegatenpionier Stephen Hawking\, de pen van Einstein\, een litho van Jean Pierre Luminet\, tekeningen\, brieven en een puzzel van Roger Penrose en couture uit de Black Hole collectie van niemand minder dan Viktor & Rolf. Nieuwsgierig geworden? Na een bezoek aan de tentoonstelling over Zwarte Gaten hoef je niet meer bang te zijn voor het ogenschijnlijk enge ‘monster’. Ontdek waarom ook wetenschappers eindeloos gefascineerd zijn door zwarte gaten en kom meer te weten over de ongrijpbaarheid van ons heelal. \nLinks:\nDichter bij het Zwarte Gat \nDichter bij het Zwarte Gat – Museumtijdschrift

SUMMARY:The Sky at Night - Cosmic Ghosts (TV BBC Four)
DESCRIPTION:The Sky at Night is a monthly documentary television programme on astronomy produced by the BBC. \nThe show had the same permanent presenter\, Patrick Moore\, from its first broadcast on 24 April 1957 until 7 January 2013. The latter date was a posthumous broadcast\, which followed Moore’s death on 9 December 2012. This made it the longest-running programme with the same presenter in television history. Many early episodes are missing\, either because the tapes were wiped\, thrown out\, or because the episode was broadcast live and never recorded in the first place. \nBeginning with the 3 February 2013 edition\, the show was co-presented by Lucie Green and Chris Lintott. Since December 2013 Maggie Aderin-Pocock has been a presenter. The programme’s opening and closing theme music is “At the Castle Gate”\, from the incidental music to Pelléas et Mélisande\, written in 1905 by Jean Sibelius\, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham. \nThis episode:\nThis month\, The Sky at Night has a spooky twist. Across the universe\, there are hidden objects that we can’t see\, but astronomers and scientists still believe they’re out there. To find out how we know that these mysterious objects exist\, the team are going ghost-hunting. Cosmic ghost-hunting. \nProf Chris Lintott and Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock are at Provan Hall\, one of the oldest buildings in Glasgow and the site of several supposed ghost sightings across its 550-year history. But they aren’t looking for anything supernatural. Instead\, they’re meeting the scientists and astronomers trying to solve some of the universe’s greatest mysteries by finding new ways to sense what surrounds us in the cosmos. \nIn the medieval rooms of Provan Hall\, Chris meets Dr Olivia Jones from the UK Astronomy Centre and discovers how a tool often employed by ghost hunters is actually great for finding objects hidden in the dust of the cosmos. He also meets Prof Tessa Baker from the University of Portsmouth\, who shows him how ripples in space-time are helping scientists to detect new\, unseen cosmic events. And while scanning the house for spooky sounds\, Maggie hears a voice from the past\, which leads her to uncover the wonderful work of Vera Rubin – a trailblazing astronomer who helped to prove the existence of dark matter. \nAcross the country\, and over a kilometre further below the Earth’s surface\, guest presenter Prof Chamkaur Ghag is at the Boulby Underground Laboratory. While there\, he discovers how the incredible research site has changed since Patrick Moore and The Sky at Night team visited 20 years ago and meets some of the Boulby team who are working on the hunt for ghostly dark matter particles. \nMeanwhile\, Pete Lawrence is at the Bedford School Observatory to show us how to find and photograph inky\, ghost-like objects in the sky known as dark nebulae\, and to tell us what to look out for in the night sky over the next month. \nLinks:\nThe Sky at Night

SUMMARY:Babelsberger Sternennächte : Von 2024BX1 nach Ribbeck - Meteoritenfund in Brandenburg (TV webcast)
DESCRIPTION:Die Babelsberger Sternennächte finden online statt\, in der Regel gibt es immer am 3. Donnerstag im Monat einen neuen Vortrag einer Wissenschaftlerin oder eines Wissenschaftlers des AIP\, der ab 20 Uhr auf dem YouTube-Kanal von Urknall\, Weltall und das Leben ausgestrahlt wird (Playlist). \nAsteroiden\, kleine Gesteinsbrocken im Sonnensystem\, kommen uns normalerweise nicht sehr nahe. Doch am 20. Januar 2024 wurde ein etwa ein Meter großes Exemplar entdeckt\, das nur knapp drei Stunden später auf die Erdoberfläche traf. Beim Eintritt in die Atmosphäre leuchtete das Objekt als mondhelle Feuerkugel auf\, die in der sternklaren Nacht weithin zu sehen war. Nach dem Ende der leuchtenden Bahn in rund 20 Kilometern Höhe gingen die Fragmente als Meteorite zu Boden. Beobachtungen der Feuerkugel durch Videokameras erlaubten eine genaue Berechnung des Fallortes\, der sich westlich von Nauen in Ribbeck befand. \nSofort wurden Suchaktionen organisiert\, um das frische Material schnell für Untersuchungen zu sichern. Ab dem 23. Januar wurden insgesamt mehr als 200 dokumentierte Fundstücke eingesammelt und untersucht. Dabei stellte sich heraus\, dass die Meteoriten aus dem überaus seltenen Material Aubrit bestehen. Der Meteoritentyp Aubrit ist benannt nach dem Fundort des ersten derartigen Stückes in Aubres\, Frankreich\, 1836. Der Kleinkörper stammt wahrscheinlich aus einem heißen Bereich unseres Sonnensystems und erlebte in seiner Geschichte viele Zusammenstöße mit anderen Gesteinsbrocken. So ist das Material sehr fragil; viele Stücke sind beim Aufprall zersplittert. Die Schmelzkruste ist glasartig und voller Blasen und muss sehr schnell erstarrt sein. Einzelne Meteoritenproben befinden sich noch in Laboren für Isotopenuntersuchungen. Dies ist erst das vierte Mal\, dass Stücke eines zuvor als Asteroid beobachteten Objekts am Boden zu finden waren. \n„Es ist ein großartiger Glückstreffer\, dass der Asteroid mitten in Europa\, sozusagen vor unserer Haustür\, einschlug\, und seine Bahn genau berechnet werden konnte“\, sagt Dr. Jürgen Rendtel\, Mitarbeiter der Abteilung Sonnenphysik\, Experte für Meteoriten und erfolgreicher Finder mehrere Meteoritenstücke. Er erzählt in seinem Vortrag mit dem Titel „Von 2024BX1 nach Ribbeck“ von der Entdeckung des Asteroiden und der mühsamen Suche nach den Bruchstücken auf den Feldern bei Ribbeck. Dabei geht er auch auf die besonderen Eigenschaften des Materials ein. Eine Zusammenfassung der Meteoritensuche und bisherigen Ergebnisse erscheint am 26.06.2024 in einem Artikel von Jürgen Rendtel und Koautoren in der Zeitschrift WGN\, The Journal of the International Meteor Organization. \nBitte beachten Sie\, dass fast alle Vorträge auf Deutsch gehalten werden. \nLink:\nBabelsberger Sternennächte

SUMMARY:GOES-19
DESCRIPTION:GOES-19 (designated GOES-U prior to reaching geostationary orbit) is a weather satellite\, the fourth and last of the GOES-R series of satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). \nThe GOES-R series will extend the availability of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) system until 2036. The satellite is built by Lockheed Martin\, based on the A2100 platform. The satellite was successfully launched into space atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on 25 June 2024 at 21:26 UTC from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida\, United States. The redesign of the loop heat pipe to prevent an anomaly\, as seen in GOES-17\, is not expected to delay the launch as it did with GOES-T. GOES-U also carries a copy of the Naval Research Laboratory’s Compact CORonagraph (CCOR) instrument which\, along with the CCOR planned for Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1)\, will allow continued monitoring of solar wind after the retirement of the NASA–ESA SOHO satellite in 2025. GOES-U has a dry mass of 2\,925 kg and a fueled mass of 5\,000 kg. \nLinks:\nGEOS – R\n\nGOES-U Mission Overview \nSatellite: GOES-19 \nWatch sun erupt in 1st images from NOAA’s groundbreaking new satellite (photos)

SUMMARY:Asteroid (101955) Bennu in the laboratory: Properties of the sample collected by OSIRIS-REx - publication
DESCRIPTION:On September 24\, 2023\, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft dropped a capsule to Earth containing pristine carbonaceous regolith collected from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu\, these samples were obtained after the probe took an impressive\, seven-year roundtrip journey through the solar system and back. \nSince these space rock pieces arrived (approximately 120 grams of sample\, to be precise) scientists have highly anticipated an analysis of the specimens that can tell us what molecules lie within Bennu.  They’ve been hoping to find clues about the history of our solar system\, seeing as Bennu should’ve been present when our cosmic neighborhood was coming together\, and prebiotic molecules that might provide insights into the origin of life on Earth. It’s possible\, many experts speculated\, that these samples could host the seeds of other essential ingredients\, such as water\, that could have contributed to Earth’s habitability if they ended up on our planet\, too. The paper about the results was published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science. \nLinks:\nPhosphate in NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample suggests space rock Bennu hails from an ocean world / NASA’s Asteroid Samples May Be Crumbs From an Ancient Ocean World \nPekel van planetoïde Bennu bevat mineralen die cruciaal zijn voor leven / An evaporite sequence from ancient brine recorded in Bennu samples – publication

SUMMARY:Meteorenzwerm τ-Aquariden in juni 2024
DESCRIPTION:De meteorenzwerm τ-Aquariden bereikt op zaterdag 29 juni 2024\, rond 17:00\, zijn maximum. \nWanneer de radiant in het zenit zou staan\, zouden er van deze zwerm naar verwachting gemiddeld zo’n 7 meteoren per uur vallen. Rond 06:00 staat de radiant van de zwerm in het hoogste punt (op 26°) aan de hemel. Het beste moment om τ-Aquariden waar te nemen is op 30 juni rond 04:00. Dat is circa 11 uur na het moment van het maximum\, wat niet ideaal is voor een zwerm met een korte piek als deze. Hierdoor zijn zeker 30% minder meteoren te zien dan in het meest gunstige geval. De radiant staat op dat moment zo’n 22° boven de zuidzuidoostelijke horizon; niet erg gunstig. Er is dan bij ons ieder uur niet meer dan één meteoor zichtbaar van deze zwerm. Samen met meteoren van andere zwermen\, en sporadische meteoren\, zijn er bij donkere\, heldere hemel in totaal circa 2–6 “vallende sterren” per uur te zien. De Maan komt om 01:38 op\, is voor ongeveer 35% verlicht en kan eventueel storen. Rond 04:30 gaat het schemeren en om 05:23 komt de Zon op. \nLinks:\nMeteorenzwerm τ-Aquariden in juni 2024

SUMMARY:The Sky at Night - Webb Telescope: The Story So Far (TV BBC Four / BBC iPlayer)
DESCRIPTION:The Sky at Night is a monthly documentary television programme on astronomy produced by the BBC. \nThe show had the same permanent presenter\, Patrick Moore\, from its first broadcast on 24 April 1957 until 7 January 2013. The latter date was a posthumous broadcast\, which followed Moore’s death on 9 December 2012. This made it the longest-running programme with the same presenter in television history. Many early episodes are missing\, either because the tapes were wiped\, thrown out\, or because the episode was broadcast live and never recorded in the first place. \nBeginning with the 3 February 2013 edition\, the show was co-presented by Lucie Green and Chris Lintott. Since December 2013 Maggie Aderin-Pocock has been a presenter. The programme’s opening and closing theme music is “At the Castle Gate”\, from the incidental music to Pelléas et Mélisande\, written in 1905 by Jean Sibelius\, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham. \nThis episode:\nIn July 2022\, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) released its first images. They were visually stunning\, and it was clear they provided more detail of stars\, galaxies and planets than ever before. But for the scientists waiting on the data\, this was just the beginning of their journey to discover what the new telescope would reveal. Since then\, they have been working hard and publishing papers on all the data JWST has been sending back. \nTwo years ago\, just after the first images were released\, Chris Lintott set off on a road trip to meet some of the scientists that were excitedly waiting on the first data. He wanted to find out what they hoped it could reveal. To mark the second anniversary Chris\, along with fellow presenters Maggie Aderin-Pocock and George Dransfield\, headed off to meet scientists old and new\, to find out what the Webb Telescope has told us so far. \nChris gives us a run-down of the highs and lows the Webb Telescope has been through and the other discoveries it has made. Maggie is off to Bristol University to revisit Dr Hannah Wakeford who has been using JWST data to reveal what interesting chemicals exoplanet atmospheres contain. \nGeorge meets Professor Leigh Fletcher at the University of Leicester. When Chris met him two years ago\, only one JWST image of Jupiter had been released. Now\, he has data from all four of the outer planets of the solar system\, and they have all thrown up surprises. JWST has revealed new jet streams on Jupiter and provided a greater understanding of its Galilean moons. Seasonal changes on Saturn have now been documented\, and Uranus and Neptune have thrown up quirks that need another few years of work to understand. \nChris also visits the University of Cambridge to meet Dr Sandro Tacchella\, who has been part of a team looking back at some of the earliest galaxies. He explains what new light the JWST data can shed on ancient stars\, and what that can reveal about how our cosmos formed after the Big Bang. \nFinally\, our resident astronomer Pete Lawrence guides us through what there is to see in this month’s night sky\, and how you too can look at some of the same targets as the James Webb Space Telescope – just not quite in the same level of detail! \nLinks:\nThe Sky at Night

SUMMARY:Ariane 6 - launch / lancering : Europe's new rocket launching for 1st time ever (TV ESA Web TV / YouTube)
DESCRIPTION:Ariane 6 is scheduled to launch on 9 July 2024\, with a launch window from 15:00-19:00 local time at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana (19:00–23:00 BST\, 9 July 20:00–10 July 00:00 CEST). \nAriane 6 is a European expendable launch system operated by Arianespace and developed and produced by ArianeGroup on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA). It replaces the Ariane 5\, as part of the Ariane launch vehicle family. This two-stage rocket utilizes liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen (hydrolox) engines. The first stage features an upgraded Vulcain engine from the Ariane 5\, while the second uses the Vinci engine\, designed specifically for this rocket. The first launch in 2024 used the variant Ariane 62 (A62)\, with two P120C solid boosters\, weighs around 530\,000 kg at liftoff and is mainly for government and scientific missions. It can launch up to 4\,500 kg into geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) and 10\,350 kg into low Earth orbit (LEO). The P120 is shared with Europe’s other launch vehicle\, the Vega C\, and is an improved version of the P80 used on the original Vega. Selected in December 2014 over an all-solid-fuel option\, the Ariane 6 was originally targeted for a 2020 launch. However\, the program encountered delays\, pushing the first launch attempt to 9 July 2024. Designed to halve launch costs and increase annual capacity from seven to eleven missions compared to its predecessor\, the Ariane 6 has faced criticism for its launch price and lack of reusability. European officials defend the program\, saying it provides crucial independent space access for its member nations. \n \nLinks:\nAriane 6 launch: how to watch and what to look out for \nEurope’s new Ariane 6 rocket launching for 1st time ever this week \nESA Web TV – live stream

DESCRIPTION:Die Babelsberger Sternennächte finden online statt\, in der Regel gibt es immer am 3. Donnerstag im Monat einen neuen Vortrag einer Wissenschaftlerin oder eines Wissenschaftlers des AIP\, der ab 20 Uhr auf dem YouTube-Kanal von Urknall\, Weltall und das Leben ausgestrahlt wird (Playlist). \nWie viele Braune Zwerge gibt es eigentlich in der Sonnenumgebung? Sind bereits alle bekannt? Auf diese und weitere Fragen geht Dr. Ralf-Dieter Scholz in seinem Vortrag ein. In Ergänzung zu seinem früheren Vortrag bei „Urknall\, Weltall und das Leben“ stellt er hier vor\, welche neuen Erkenntnisse die europäische Weltraummission Gaia mittlerweile geliefert hat. Die Gaia-Beobachtungen im optischen Bereich sind für Braune Zwerge nur begrenzt nutzbar und waren für viele Komponenten von engen Mehrfachsystemen\, also Doppelsterne und auch Systeme mit Braunen Zwergen\, bisher noch nicht ausreichend für die Bestimmung ihrer Entfernungen\, Eigenbewegungen und Bahnparameter. Aber Beobachtungen mit erdgebundenen und Weltraum-Teleskopen im infraroten Bereich führten in den letzten 25 Jahren zu einer Vielzahl von Entdeckungen der masseärmsten Sterne und Braunen Zwerge in der unmittelbaren Umgebung der Sonne\, Beiträge dazu kamen auch aus dem AIP. Eine 2023 veröffentlichte Zusammenstellung aller bekannten Sterne und Braunen Zwerge bis zu einer Entfernung von 20 Parsec scheint nun zumindest innerhalb von 10 Parsec vollständig zu sein. Im kürzlich erschienenen Artikel Scholz & Mints (2024) in der Zeitschrift Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society (RNAAS) diskutieren Ralf-Dieter Scholz und Alexey Mints\, ob nun alle stellaren und substellaren Nachbarn der Sonne innerhalb von 10 Parsec bekannt sind – oder Zweifel angebracht wären. Sobald der neue Vortrag verfügbar ist\, ist der Link direkt auf dieser Seite zu finden. Bitte beachten Sie\, dass fast alle Vorträge auf Deutsch gehalten werden. \nLinks:\nBabelsberger Sternennächte

SUMMARY:Moon Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:The General Assembly declared International Moon Day\, a United Nations-designated international day to be observed annually on 20 July\, in its resolution 76/76 on “International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space” in 2021. \nInternational Moon Day marks the anniversary of the first landing by humans on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 lunar mission. The celebrations will also consider the achievements of all States in the exploration of the Moon and raise public awareness of sustainable Moon exploration and utilization. For thousands of years\, human civilizations have looked up to the sky pondering the origin and mysteries of the Moon – our only natural satellite. Ground-based observations enabled by the invention of the first telescopes opened a new chapter in our understanding of our celestial companion. With the birth of space activities\, the Moon became the ultimate destination of countless missions\, including crewed flights that brought the first human footprints to another place in the universe. As Moon exploration efforts continue taking shape with ambitious plans\, this global celebration will serve not only as a reminder of success in the past\, but as an annual testimony to future endeavours. \nLinks:\nMoon Day \nMoonDay.org \nApollo 11 \nApolloprogramma NASA \nApollo 11 Real-Time Mission Experience \nRare Views of the Moon\, as Seen by Apollo Astronauts \nLetter To The World After The Apollo Astronauts Died On The Moon

SUMMARY:NASA’s Perseverance Rover Scientists Find Intriguing Mars Rock - publication
DESCRIPTION:NASA’s Perseverance Rover found a fascinating rock that has some indications it may have hosted microbial life billions of years ago\, but further research is needed. \nA vein-filled rock is catching the eye of the science team of NASA’s Perseverance rover. Nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” by the team\, the arrowhead-shaped rock contains fascinating traits that may bear on the question of whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the distant past. Analysis by instruments aboard the rover indicates the rock possesses qualities that fit the definition of a possible indicator of ancient life. The rock exhibits chemical signatures and structures that could possibly have been formed by life billions of years ago when the area being explored by the rover contained running water. Other explanations for the observed features are being considered by the science team\, and future research steps will be required to determine whether ancient life is a valid explanation. The rock — the rover’s 22nd rock core sample — was collected on July 21\, as the rover explored the northern edge of Neretva Vallis\, an ancient river valley measuring 400 meters wide that was carved by water rushing into Jezero Crater long ago. \nLinks:\nNASA’s Perseverance Rover Scientists Find Intriguing Mars Rock \nDie Nasa präsentiert ein Marsgestein\, das möglicherweise Spuren einstigen Lebens enthält – mit der Betonung auf möglicherweise

SUMMARY:Meteorenzwerm δ-Cassiopeiïden in juli 2024
DESCRIPTION:De meteorenzwerm δ-Cassiopeiïden bereikt op maandag 29 juli 2024\, rond 16:00\, zijn maximum. \nWanneer de radiant in het zenit zou staan\, zouden er van deze zwerm naar verwachting gemiddeld zo’n 10 meteoren per uur vallen. De radiant van de zwerm staat rond 06:00 in het hoogste punt aan de hemel\, op 79° boven de horizon. Het beste moment om δ-Cassiopeiïden waar te nemen is op 30 juli rond 03:15. De radiant van de zwerm staat dan ongeveer 66° boven de horizon\, in het noordoosten. Door de matige omstandigheden zijn er in onze streken dan vermoedelijk maar circa 2–6 meteoren per uur van deze zwerm te zien. In totaal zijn er\, door meteoren van andere zwermen en sporadische meteoren\, bij donkere en heldere hemel circa 8–15 meteoren per uur zichtbaar. Op een goed donkere plek zijn bijna vier keer zoveel meteoren te zien als in dichtbevolkt gebied. De Maan komt om 00:38 op\, is voor ongeveer 30% verlicht en kan eventueel storen. Rond 05:15 gaat het schemeren en om 05:58 komt de Zon op. Over het algemeen zijn de de meteoren van een zwerm niet alleen op de dag van het maximum zichtbaar. Zo is gedurende circa 5 dagen rondom het maximum meer dan 50% van het maximale aantal meteoren (2 per uur) van de δ-Cassiopeiïden te zien. Tot 6 dagen voor en na het maximum zijn nog meteoren van deze zwerm te herkennen. De zwerm heeft daarmee een relatief korte piek. Er zijn dus nog meer kansen\, voor het geval het in de nacht van het maximum niet helder is. Iedere dag verder weg van het maximum zijn er echter wel ongeveer 20% minder meteoren per uur te zien. De snelheden van de meteoren van de δ-Cassiopeiïden zijn behoorlijk hoog: zo’n 60 km/s\, dat is circa 216.000 km/uur! \nLinks:\nMeteorenzwerm δ-Cassiopeiïden in juli 2024

SUMMARY:Meteorenzwerm δ-Aquariden noord in augustus 2024
DESCRIPTION:De meteorenzwerm δ-Aquariden noord bereikt op 8 augustus 2024\, rond 12:00\, zijn maximum. \nZelfs wanneer de radiant in het zenit zou staan\, zouden er van deze zwerm naar verwachting gemiddeld slechts zo’n 4 meteoren per uur vallen. Rond 03:30 staat de radiant van de zwerm in het hoogste punt (op 40°) aan de hemel. Er is dan bij ons ieder uur slechts een enkele meteoor van deze zwerm zichtbaar. Samen met meteoren van andere zwermen\, en sporadische meteoren\, zijn er bij donkere\, heldere hemel in totaal circa 14–22 “vallende sterren” per uur te zien. Op een donkere locatie zijn circa vier keer zoveel meteoren te zien als in dichtbevolkt gebied. De Maan stoort niet. Rond 05:30 gaat het schemeren en om 06:14 komt de Zon op. De meteoren van de meeste zwermen verschijnen niet allemaal op de dag van het maximum. Zo is gedurende circa 21 dagen rondom het maximum ruim de helft van het maximale aantal meteoren van de δ-Aquariden noord te zien. Tot 13 dagen voor en na het maximum zijn nog meteoren van deze zwerm te herkennen. De zwerm heeft daarmee een vrij lange piek. Probeer dus ook enkele nachten voor en na het maximum meteoren waar te nemen. Iedere dag verder weg van het maximum zijn er echter wel ongeveer 7% minder meteoren per uur te zien. De typische snelheden van de meteoren in deze zwerm zijn met circa 37 km/s (ongeveer 133.200 km/uur) vrij gemiddeld. Er is geen speciale apparatuur nodig om meteoren waar te kunnen nemen. Wanneer het helder is\, volstaat het blote oog. Op een donkere plek zijn meer meteoren te zien dan midden in een stad. \nLinks:\nMeteorenzwerm δ-Aquariden noord in augustus 2024 \n\n\nKomende nachten ideaal om vallende sterren te spotten: ‘Beter kan eigenlijk niet’
