Caroline Herschel was the first female astronomer, but she still lacks name recognition two centuries later

Retrieved on:

Caroline Herschel, the first professional female astronomer, made contributions to astronomy that are still important to the field today.

Key Points:

Caroline Herschel, the first professional female astronomer, made contributions to astronomy that are still important to the field today.
Her story reflects not only the priorities of astronomy but also how credit is assigned in the field.

Her path to astronomy

She was forced to complete household chores, despite showing a keen interest in learning from a young age.
She eventually escaped her family to follow her older brother William Herschel, whom she adored, to Bath.
She didn’t become interested in astronomy until William was already thoroughly engrossed in the subject.
Although she spoke somewhat disparagingly about how she followed her brother to different interests, including music and astronomy, Caroline eventually acknowledged her real interest in studying astronomical bodies.

Searching the skies

On Aug. 1, 1782, she discovered a comet – meaning she was the first to see it in a telescope with her own eyes.
For all of her other work, like recording and organizing all the data from William’s observations, she received less credit than William.
For instance, when Caroline took all of William’s observations and compiled them into a catalog, it was published under William’s name.
The Herschels also created the first – though not quite correct – map of our galaxy, the Milky Way.

Who gets the credit in astronomy?

In fact, most of the astronomers who receive credit today are those whose work looks a lot like Caroline’s – recording and organizing data about astronomical observations.
Astronomers seldom put their eyeballs up to a telescope eyepiece anymore, and many of the most important discoveries are made by telescopes in space.
Some of the lack of recognition is probably because her brother received all the credit for her catalog.
Acknowledging the contributions of astronomers like Caroline Herschel is a small step toward giving credit where credit is due.

Voyager 2 has lost track of Earth. Only one antenna in the world can help it 'phone home'

Retrieved on:

Mercoledì, Agosto 2, 2023

Almost 46 years later, after exploring the Solar System and beyond, one of those spacecraft – Voyager 2 – has lost contact with Earth.

Key Points:

Almost 46 years later, after exploring the Solar System and beyond, one of those spacecraft – Voyager 2 – has lost contact with Earth.
All communication with Voyager 2 goes through NASA’s Deep Space Station 43, a 70-metre radio dish at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex operated by CSIRO.

Through the Solar System and beyond

NASA’s twin Voyager spacecraft – Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 – were designed to complete a “grand tour” of the Solar System, visiting the giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Having completed their tasks in 1989, both Voyager 1 and 2 have long since left our Solar System behind.

Whispers from space

As a result, the spacecraft is currently unable to receive commands or transmit any data back to Earth.
Mishaps like this are not uncommon in space exploration.
Even when Voyager 2 is pointing at Earth, its signal is already a whisper from space, billions of times weaker than the power generated by a tiny watch battery.

A heartbeat 20 billion kilometres from home

Canberra’s Deep Space Station 43 is the only antenna in the world that can communicate directly with both Voyagers.
Since Voyager 2’s antenna was tweaked off target, we have been using Deep Space Station 43 to listen intently for any signal.
Now attempts will be made to relay commands to Voyager 2 and tell it to re-orient its antenna towards Earth.

Into interstellar space

We have been with it on every step of its journey so far, and plan to continue to provide mission support for however long the mission lasts.
Voyager 2 was launched on August 20 1977 and reached Jupiter in July 1979, a few months after Voyager 1.
The Voyagers are now in the “clear air” of interstellar space and can, for the first time, make direct measurements of this environment.

What are meteorites? I visit and study the craters they've left across our planet

For the most part, the asteroids quietly orbit the Sun – but sometimes they collide with each other or the planets and their moons.

Key Points:

For the most part, the asteroids quietly orbit the Sun – but sometimes they collide with each other or the planets and their moons.
Some planets are more pockmarked with craters than others: the Moon is covered with thousands but the Earth has only 200 confirmed meteorite craters.
Second, 70% of Earth is covered with water – we can only see craters on land.
Thus, studying impact craters can broaden our understanding of the Earth’s evolution and life, as well its possible future.

Studying impactites

It is the world’s oldest and largest known impact structure, dating back some 2 billion years and spanning between 180km and 300km in diameter.
That spot of collision is what’s known as an impact crater; the ground around and below it is full of rocks called impactites.
These cannot be found anywhere else: impactites are not formed by any natural processes, only by meteorite impacts.

Cutting-edge technology

A technology called transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is driving the latest research in this field.
It has been used for a few decades but, in recent years, there have been big improvements in its quality and precision.
This technology is opening the door to an entirely new world of impactite study.

People are complaining about Mercury in retrograde. But what does it actually mean?

So it seems a bit rough that we blame Mercury for all our problems three to four times a year when it’s in retrograde.

Key Points:

So it seems a bit rough that we blame Mercury for all our problems three to four times a year when it’s in retrograde.
But what does it mean when we say Mercury is “in retrograde”?
A matter of orbits
Retrograde motion means a planet is moving in the opposite direction to normal around the Sun.
Because Mercury is closest to the Sun and has the fastest orbit, it appears to move backwards in the sky more often than any other planet.

Astronomers have directly detected a massive exoplanet. The method could transform the search for life beyond Earth

Imaging planets is no small feat

Key Points:

Imaging planets is no small feat
To satisfy our curiosity about our place in the universe, astronomers have developed many techniques to search for planets orbiting other stars.
Direct imaging involves attaching a powerful camera to a large telescope and trying to detect light emitted, or reflected, from a planet.
Otherwise-successful search techniques can rarely reach the levels of precision required to detect planets around such massive stars.
Now that it’s known to host a planet, astronomers will aim to further unravel the mysteries of HIP99770 and its immediate environment.
