In this first episode of Science@ESA Rebecca Barnes sets the scene for this vodcast series by looking at why we need to send telescopes into space and considers what these ‘eyes in the skies’ can tell us about the extraordinary Universe in which we live.

The Science@ESA vodcasts explore the extraordinary Universe in which we live as it is seen through the “eyes” of ESA’s fleet of science spacecraft.

For the Beauty that cannot be seen,

For the honor of those whose shoulders we stand on,

For the hope of those we aspire to become,

And for the inspiration of those who will surpass our achievements.

After 50 years of study and investigation, nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman has summarized his views about flying saucers. He is convinced that the evidence is overwhelming that some UFOs are intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft, that the subject represents a Cosmic Watergate, that there are no good objections to these conclusions, and that flying saucer reality and its cover-up is the biggest story of the past millennium. http://www.ufocongressstore.com/servlet/the-817/Stanton-T.-Friedman-Presents/Detail

This is an excerpt of a lecture given by Alexei V. Filippenko, Professor of Astronomy, for his class at UC Berkeley called “How Stars Shine: Cosmic Furnaces” (”Introduction General Astronomy”):

• http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?seriesid=1906978460

Alex Filippenko’s research accomplishments, documented in about 500 published papers, have been recognized by several major prizes, and he is one of the world’s most highly cited astronomers. He has won the top teaching awards at Berkeley and has been voted the “Best Professor” on campus five times. In 2006, he was selected as the Carnegie/CASE Professor of the Year among doctoral institutions. He has produced three astronomy video courses with The Teaching Company and coauthored an award-winning textbook. He is an avid tennis player and hiker, enjoys world travel, and is addicted to experiencing total solar eclipses (8 and counting).

SPACE:

Want to know why we don’t have to worry about our sun burning out? It’s because long before that happens, the sun will expand so enormously that Earth will be cooked to a cinder. Take a tour through the solar system, learn about the event horizon of black holes and when our galaxy began.

EINSTEIN’S RELATIVITY:

Everything in the universe is traveling through space-time at the speed of light – the maximum speed possible. If you are sitting still in space, then you are traveling through time at the maximum speed. But if you begin traveling through space, then your progress through time slows down. Time Dilation and other relativistic phenomena await you in this interesting series, so hurry up and slow down!

ALL 5 PARTS OF: Presidents Guide to Science – http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=837A9C18DA0F0028

The President of the United States, possible the most powerful person on Earth. In command of the most technological fighting force ever embled. In charge of the most sophisticated intelligence network in the world. Able to put men on the Moon. Yet virtually all of this power is the result of just one thing Science. A topic few presidents have understood. Science has created the world we live in. We expect the President to be an expert in public policy. But to do the job effectively the President most know a little something about Science.

Carl Sagan, Ph.D. (1934-1996) was an American astronomer, astrochemist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage”, which has been seen by more than 600 million people in over 60 countries.

During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method.

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was a German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer, and key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution. He is best known for his eponymous laws of planetary motion, codified by later astronomers based on his works “Astronomia nova”, “Harmonices Mundi”, and “Epitome of Copernican Astrononomy”. They also provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton’s theory of universal gravitation.

During his career, Kepler was a mathematics teacher at a seminary school in Graz, Austria, an istant to astronomer Tycho Brahe, the court mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II, a mathematics teacher in Linz, Austria, and an adviser to General Wallenstein. He also did fundamental work in the field of optics, invented an improved version of the refracting telescope (the Keplerian Telescope), and helped to legitimize the telescopic discoveries of his contemporary Galileo Galilei.

Kepler lived in an era when there was no clear distinction between astronomy and astrology, but there was a strong division between astronomy (a branch of mathematics within the liberal arts) and physics (a branch of natural philosophy).
