| Title: |  Hubblecast 51: Star-forming region S 106 | | Date: |  Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:00:00 +0100 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | In this episode of the Hubblecast, we take a tour of the compact star-forming region Sh 2-106. Its hourglass shape is caused by the final, violent phases of a star’s formation in the middle of the gaseous nebula. This episode explains some of the science behind Hubble’s observations and brings them to life with detailed 3D computer visualisations. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 50: Q&A with Dr J | | Date: | Tue, 25 Oct 2011 15:00:00 +0200 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | In episode 49 of the Hubblecast, Dr Joe Liske (aka Dr J) asked viewers to send in their questions about astronomy and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. In episode 50, Dr J picks his favourite few questions from the hundreds that were sent in. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 47: Pandora's Cluster | | Date: | Wed, 22 Jun 2011 15:00:00 +0200 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | This joint episode of the Hubblecast and ESOcast presents Abell 2744, an unusual cluster of galaxies nicknamed "Pandora's Cluster" by the astronomers who have studied it. Looking at the galaxies, gas and dark matter in the cluster, scientists have reconstructed the series of huge collisions that created it, and have uncovered some strange phenomena never seen together before. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 45: Building a treasure trove of observations | | Date: | Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:00:00 +0200 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is working on three of the most ambitious projects in its history just now. These multicycle treasury programs are using Hubble's unique ability to observe across the spectrum from ultraviolet, through visible, to infrared light, to build up a library of data which will serve astronomers for many years. In this podcast episode, presenter Dr J (aka Joe Liske) looks at these projects, and how they will complement the capabilities of the next great thing in space-based astronomy, the James Webb Space Telescope. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 42: Hubble's Greatest Hits | | Date: | Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:15:00 +0100 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | What makes a scientific discovery really important? It's partly down to how much scientists use the discovery in subsequent work -- but it’s also partly down to what inspires their imagination. In this episode, the Hubblecast talks to some leading astronomers about their favourite Hubble discovery. Meanwhile, our presenter, Dr J, struggles to make up his mind. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 41: Hubble's History Told by Hubble's Scientists | | Date: | Tue, 14 Dec 2010 16:30:00 +0100 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | Hubble's history of scientific breakthroughs has made us think afresh about our Universe. But behind the astronomical successes is a rollercoaster ride of scientific and technical challenges going back decades. The Hubblecast caught up with some of the key players in Hubble's history, including an astronaut, a Nobel Prize winner and one of the scientists who diagnosed Hubble's blurred vision in 1990. In this episode, narrated by veteran ESA scientist Bob Fosbury, they tell Hubble’s story through their personal experiences. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 39: The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) | | Date: | Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:00:00 +0200 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | Today's telescopes study the sky across the electromagnetic spectrum. Each part of the spectrum tells us different things about the Universe, giving us more pieces of the cosmic jigsaw puzzle. The most powerful telescopes on the ground and in space have joined forces over the last decade in a unique observing campaign, known as GOODS, which reaches across the spectrum and deep back into cosmic time. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 38: Hubble in popular culture | | Date: | Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:00:00 +0200 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | When Hubble was launched in 1990, every astronomer knew it had an opportunity to make profound breakthroughs in science. A few realised its potential as a tool for inspiring people with awe for the Universe. But could anyone have predicted how deeply Hubble would become embedded in popular culture? |
| Title: | Hubblecast 37: Bubbles and baby stars | | Date: | Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:00:00 +0200 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | This Hubblecast features a spectacular new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image - one of the largest ever released of a star-forming region. It highlights N11, part of a complex network of gas clouds and star clusters within our neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. This region of energetic star formation is one of the most active in the nearby Universe. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 36: Gifts from the sky: honouring 20 years of Hubble | | Date: | Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:00:00 +0200 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | Throughout its 20-year career, while moving at a staggering 28 000 kilometres per hour, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has made more than 930 000 observations and snapped over 570 000 images of 30 000 celestial objects. It has made more than 110 000 trips around our planet while collecting more than 45 terabytes of data, enough information to fill nearly 5800 DVD movies. Astronomers using Hubble data have published more than 8700 scientific papers, making it one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built. Join Dr J as he reviews the life of this prized observatory and presents it the Cosmic Lifetime Achievement Award for the scientific and artistic gifts it has given us. |
| Title: | Hubblecast 35: The stuff of legend | | Date: | Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:45:00 +0200 | | Download File: | http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hubblecas... | | Description: | Gearing up for the 20th anniversary of the legendary space observatory, Dr. J takes a look at the story of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Born of an ambitious idea, it took decades for Hubble to become a reality. The project was complex and often faced huge setbacks but, ultimately, the powerful telescope took to the skies aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery on 24 April 1990. |
