Moonshot. Esta expressão foi utilizada para definir o ambicioso projeto de conquista da lua, na década de 1960, o famoso projeto Apolo. Pensar em viajar para fora da terra era algo muito grande. Os vôos entre paises, apesar de em crescimento em número, ainda eram poucos. Moonshot é pensar muito grande. Colocar um grande objetivo e criar as ferramentas e condições para alcança-lo. Como a Nasa criou toda uma gama de tecnologias para tornar a conquista da lua possível, é criar um novo terreno, novas tecnologias ou novas forma de se abordar um velho problema. Com este espírito, segundou! Bora olhar para a sua grande meta e pensar diferente, buscar novas alternativas para o seu moonshot! Boa semana! #segundou #motivação #motivation

Uma agradável conversa, onde falámos um pouco sobre o meu percurso académico e profissional, o que me levou a onde estou hoje e perspectivas para o futuro! 🎓🛰️🚀🧑🚀 Obrigado AstroXpats e ao Ricardo Gomes ! #spaceexploration #career #podcast

On August 28, 2024, there will be a great morning alignment of planets that includes Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn. Take advantage because this phenomenon will take another 10 years to repeat itself. #planets #planets #solarsystem #astronomy #astronomy

Fantástica animação para demonstrar a atração gravitacional da Lua direcionando as marés. 💡 A Lua puxa os oceanos em sua direção e faz com que os oceanos se deformem ligeiramente: essa protuberância cria as marés. As marés que temos são porque a Lua está onde está.

Why I respect ISRO. Despite being part of an inefficient bureaucratic government that only knows how to beg borrow or steal suboptimal imported solutions, ISRO did show substantial courage and innovation. If Mars mission is successful credit is due to the courage shown in making use of PSLV instead of just buying a bigger rocket and figure out a way to go to Mars. It has always been my childhood dream to see India make it to the Mars and moon and I would like to thank ISRO for realizing it from the depth of my heart. No wonder they have been also successful with Chandrayaan may be after a failed attempt which is definitely excusable. On the whole there is proven and substantial evidence that ISRO is a meritocratic organization. On the contrary Air India acquired several Boeing 747s with tax payers money and ran it as the most inefficient, lossy airline while providing the worst service to the customers. To this day I see the negative effects of the culture set over decades when I travel by air India despite being privatized after all the decades of mismanagement. Same with Indian railways or roads of India built and operated by the government without any clue to fix safety or congestion but always willing to spend tax money in the most inefficient manner. Here there is clear and undeniable evidence that they are not meritocratically managed but by a bunch of failures who want to take advantage of the common man’s inadequacies. On the other hand, I see definite improvement in airports and domestic airlines in India after privatization. I hope somebody wise enough in the Indian government pays heed to the matter and thinks about bringing in much needed innovation and privatization for adoption of automated road transport and electrification for the best benefit of the common man who is the consumer instead of just taking advantage of the inadequacies and keeping their so called “power” - or bureaucratic control on paper. If the required policy changes are not made, ultimately the price is going to be paid by the very common man himself. Others would always have a flight to catch to other countries fortunately or unfortunately.

Fantástica ilustração! Simples e objetivo como deve ser.

This is K2-18b, an exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star called K2-18. It is about 124 light-years away from Earth. Astronomers refer to K2-18b as a Super-Earth because it is about 8.92 times more massive than Earth, and also has about 2.6 times the radius of Earth. K2-18b takes about 32.9 days to complete one revolution around its star, which is about 0.1429 AU away. So what makes K2-18 B special? Unlike most exoplanets that have been discovered, K2-18b is located in the habitable zone of its host star. This means that the massive super-Earth planet also receives a similar amount of starlight that Earth receives from the sun. After it was discovered in 2015 by NASA's Kepler spacecraft, astronomers went ahead to make more observations of the planet. In 2019, astronomers revealed that there is the presence of evaporator in the atmosphere of K2-18b. In 2023, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected the presence of carbon dioxide and methane in the planet's atmosphere. This discovery suggests that K2-18b could be a watery ocean planet, a magmatic ocean planet, or a gas-rich mini-Neptune. JWST also detected the molecule DMS, which on Earth is only produced by life, such as phytoplankton in marine environments. So, could there be life on K2-18b? For now, scientists cannot answer this. But with future observations, we may be able to tell whether there is life on the planet or not. What do you think of this Super Earth? Source: NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Chegada do Homem à Lua Em 20 de julho de 1969, os primeiros passos do astronauta Neil Armstrong na lua são transmitidos via satélite para o mundo inteiro. A nave norte-americana Apollo 11 cumpriu a missão mais importante da corrida espacial entre Estados Unidos e União Soviética, iniciada no final dos anos 1950. Horas depois do módulo da nave Eagle ter pousado na planície lunar do Mar da Tranquilidade, o astronauta e comandante da missão, Neil Armstrong, dava os primeiros passos na superfície da Lua. Em dezembro de 2021, a 76.ª Sessão da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas declarou que o Dia Internacional da Lua deveria ser observado anualmente a cada 20 de julho. Proposto pela Moon Village Association como um evento educacional, cultural e científico anual, o Dia Internacional da Lua foi concebido para sensibilizar o público e gerar apoio para a exploração e utilização lunar sustentável. Para isso, são promovidos eventos em todo o mundo durante a de 20 de julho. Incluem-se painéis de discussão comunitários, palestras, webinars, concertos, exposições e exibições de vídeos educativos. O Dia Internacional da Lua foi celebrado pela primeira vez em 2022. Mais de 40 eventos globais de 23 países diferentes, e um evento principal foram observados com sucesso com o tema Coordenação, Exploração e Sustentabilidade Lunar.
