    algoritm:”Analiza mostrelor aduse de pe asteroidul Bennu susține teoria panspermiei și abiogeneza, descoperind aminoacizi și baze azotate, esențiali în formarea vieții. Misiunea NASA OSIRIS-REx a adus dovezi prețioase pentru studiul chimiei prebiotice și originile vieții. Amoniacul, aminoacizii și compușii organici de pe Bennu ar fi putut contribui la apariția vieții pe Pământ. timp de 1m 9s
    Recentele descoperiri aduse de misiunea OSIRIS‐REx a NASA, care a colectat mostre spațiale de pe asteroidul Bennu, reprezintă o capsulă a timpului ce păstrează chimia prebiotică din sistemul solar de acum 4,5 miliarde de ani. Aceste mostre dezvăluie compuși organici, inclusiv 14 din cei 20 de aminoacizi esențiali pentru sinteza proteinelor, precum și toate cele cinci baze azotate (adenină, timină, guanină, citozină și uracil) ce stau la baza ADN-ului și ARN-ului. Astfel, Bennu devine un laborator natural al chimiei cosmice, confirmând existența ingredientelor de bază ale vieții și susținând ipoteza abiogenezei, conform căreia viața a apărut spontan din materie anorganică.

    În plus, analiza moleculelor volatile, precum amoniacul, evidențiază reacții chimice complexe, similare cu experimentul Miller, care a demonstrat formarea aminoacizilor în condiții primordiale. Pe lângă carbon, azot, fosfați și sulfați, Bennu conține aproximativ 16.000 de formule moleculare diferite, oferind o privire detaliată asupra proceselor care au contribuit la evoluția chimică a materiei în mediul cosmic. Aceste descoperiri susțin teoria panspermiei, care presupune că asteroizii ar fi putut aduce ingredientele vieții pe Pământ, contribuind la apariția primelor molecule prebiotice.

    Aceste descoperiri aduc o nouă lumină asupra dezbaterilor dintre perspectivele religioase și cele științifice privind originea vieții. În timp ce miturile despre creație susțin intervenția divină, datele din Bennu demonstrează că procesele chimice complexe și reacțiile organice au avut loc natural în univers. Astfel, experimentul Miller și evoluția chimică din sistemul solar se împletesc pentru a explica cum viața a putut să apară din materie simplă, contribuind la evoluția microorganismelor.

    În esență, Bennu reprezintă dovada că elementele fundamentale ale vieții – aminoacizi, proteine, baze azotate și molecule volatile – au evoluat și s-au combinat pentru a da naștere vieții pe Pământ, marcând un pas important în înțele”

  • Tracking human emissions from space

    Tracking human emissions from space

    The Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring (CO2M) mission will be the first satellite mission to measure how much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through human activity.

    CO2M isn’t just a mission; it’s a crucial step in our commitment to understanding and mitigating climate change. It will offer unprecedented precision in monitoring carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel at national and regional scales.

    Its data will provide the EU with a unique and independent source of information to assess the effectiveness of policy measures and to track their impact towards decarbonising Europe ahead of the next Global Stocktake set to place in 2028.

    The video features interviews with Valerie Fernandez, CO2M Mission Project Manager, Yannig Durand, CO2M Payload Manager and Yasjka Meijer, CO2M Mission Scientist.

    00:00 – 2:10 – Meet CO2M; Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitor

    Webb detects carbon dioxide on an exoplanet #shorts

    A transmission spectrum of the hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-39 b, captured by Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph on 10 July 2022, reveals the first definitive evidence for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet outside the Solar System. This is the first detailed transmission spectrum ever captured that covers wavelengths between 3 and 5.5 microns.

  • Counting carbon

    Counting carbon

    The Paris Agreement adopted a target for global warming not to exceed 1.5°C. This sets a limit on the additional carbon we can add to the atmosphere – the carbon budget. Only 18% of the carbon budget is now left. That is about 10 years at current emission rates.

    Each country reports its annual greenhouse gas emissions to the United Nations. Scientists then set these emissions against estimates of the carbon absorbed by Earth’s natural carbon sinks. This is known as the bottom-up approach to calculating the carbon budget.

    Another way to track carbon sources and sinks is to measure the amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from space – the top-down approach. As well as tracking atmospheric carbon, ESA’s Climate Change Initiative is using satellite observations to track other carbon stocks on land and sea.

    How we use the land accounts for about a quarter of our greenhouse gas emissions. Forests are the largest store of carbon on the land. Fire acts as a conduit for carbon to pass from the land to the atmosphere. And
    phytoplankton in the ocean is an important carbon sink.

    ESA’s RECCAP-2 project is using this information to reconcile the differences between the bottom-up and top-down approaches. Observations are combined with atmospheric and biophysical computer models to deduce carbon fluxes at the surface. This will improve the precision of each greenhouse gas budget and help separate natural fluxes from agricultural and fossil fuel emissions. This work will help us gauge whether we can stay within the 1.5°C carbon budget, or if more warming is in store.

  • Carbon dioxide ocean–atmosphere exchange

    Carbon dioxide ocean–atmosphere exchange

    Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the most important human-made greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Oceans assist in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere: phytoplankton accumulate carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and their chlorophyll colours the ocean’s waters. Satellites use this colour to measure chlorophyll, which helps scientists to calculate how much carbon dioxide is absorbed or emitted.

  • Carbon Observing Mission Launches on This Week @NASA

    Carbon Observing Mission Launches on This Week @NASA

    NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 mission is underway. Launched from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base, OCO-2 will help track our impact on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and help us better understand the various human-made and natural sources of CO-2. This is one of five Earth-observing missions scheduled in 2014 — the most Earth-focused missions launched in a single year, in more than a decade. Also, Saucer-shaped vehicle tested, Cygnus Orb-2 launch update, Space Launch System model tests and 10 years exploring Saturn.

    NASA’s first spacecraft dedicated to studying carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere was successfully launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. OCO-2 will be collecting a great number of high-resolution measurements, which will provide a greater spatial distribution of CO2 over the entire globe, in short, a bigger, clearer, more complete picture of global CO2. These measurements will be combined with data from the ground-based network to provide scientists with the information that they need to better understand the processes that regulate atmospheric CO2 and its role in the carbon cycle.

    Read the full experiment at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/instant-freeze-soda-ice It might have happened to you… You put a bottle of soda in the freezer for a few minutes just to get it ice cold. When you take the soda out of the freezer, it’s still a liquid (nothing unusual has happened just yet). However, the second you twist off the cap, the soda instantly freezes! The process is amazing to watch… but it’s a real bummer if you were thirsty (because it’s tough to suck ice out of the bottle). This is a great illustration of how carbon dioxide can lower the freezing point of water. Get some ice, some salt and some plastic bottles of soda water and try this very cool science demo.
