In this episode of Space Nuts, Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred
Watson discuss various topics in astronomy and space science. They
talk about the James Webb Space Telescope capturing a direct
photo of an exoplanet that is possibly the oldest and coldest one
discovered so far. They also discuss the Perseverance
Rover's discovery of leopard spots on rocks on Mars, which
could potentially indicate signs of past microbial life.
Additionally, they mention the shrinking of Jupiter's Great Red
Spot and the challenges of bringing back rocks from Mars for
further analysis. In this conversation, Fred and Andrew discuss the
life and work of Tycho Brahe, a renowned astronomer from the
16th century. They explore his upbringing, his discovery of
astronomy, and his contributions to the field. They also touch on
his interest in alchemy and the fate of his castle. The
conversation then shifts to the Europa Clipper mission,
which aims to study Jupiter's moon Europa and search for signs of
life. They discuss the mission's objectives and the instruments it
will use. Finally, they address the question of why
proto-planets do not become stars themselves and the gradual
loss of Mars' primordial atmosphere.
