Europa Clipper's Voyage to Jupiter's Ocean Moon
As NASAs Europa Clipper spacecraft leaves Earth, it carries a message: we, too, are made of water. Europaone of Jupiters moonsis a top candidate to support life, thanks to its ocean of liquid, salty water capped by a layer of ice. Lynnae Quick-Henderson, a planetary scientist at NASA, explains how Clipper will search Europa for the building blocks of life. The mission is also a message in a bottle, bringing a greeting from one ocean world to another. Hear how Ada Limn, the Poet Laureate of the United States, used NASAs mission as inspiration for her poem In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa and why she thinks everyoneeven space nerdsshould step back and appreciate our connections to the universe and each other.. https://www.nasa.gov/podca...#nasa #space #news

Small Steps, Giant Leaps: Episode 138: The Sun, Star of Our Cosmic Show
The Sun is the ultimate source of life in our solar system, a radiant powerhouse that bathes Earth in the energy necessary for everything from photosynthesis to weather patterns. Its warmth and light sustain us. However, the Suns influence isn't always benign. Its solar winda stream of charged particlescan disrupt our technology, causing communications blackouts and GPS glitches. In this episode, Dr. Joseph Westlake, director of NASAs Heliophysics Division, joins us to shed light on why the Sun is such a critical focus for space research.. https://www.nasa.gov/podca...#nasa #space #news

An Asteroid by Any Other Name With Special Guest Latif Nasser
The idea of an asteroid from outer space crashing into Earth has captured the imaginations of science fiction directors for decades. But here at NASA, we take potentially hazardous near-Earth objects seriously. We have a planetary defense office that plans for every scenarioweve even practiced nudging an asteroid off course with spacecraft. But there are tens of thousands of objects in near-Earth space, and the first step in protecting against potential impacts is spotting, tracking and managing every single one of them. Learn how NASA does just that from Joe Masiero, a scientist on the asteroid survey mission NEOWISE. Then, join friend of the show Latif Nasser, co-host of the podcast Radiolab, to untangle the mystery of a strange space rock thats not quite a moon but not quite a normal asteroid, either.. https://www.nasa.gov/podca...#nasa #space #news

Small Steps, Giant Leaps: Episode 137: The Roman Space Telescope - Uncovering the Dark Universe
We dont yet know what dark matter is, yet it makes up 85 of all the matter in the universe. The Roman Space Telescope will aim to unravel the mystery. With a field of view 100 times wider than the Hubble Space Telescopes, Roman will study in near-infrared light the atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars, making other exoplanet discoveries along the way. The mission is named after Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, NASAs first chief of astronomy and advocate for the development of the Hubble Space Telescope.. https://www.nasa.gov/podca...#nasa #space #news
