The Moon is an important exploration destination for ESA and is considered to be the next destination for humans beyond Low Earth Orbit.
European access to the lunar surface is most likely to be made through cooperation with international partners and opportunities for international cooperation in the broad area of lunar exploration are being investigated .
Sample return missions are an important element in the future cooperative exploration scenarios under discussion, as a next step after surface missions. They are a means of building international partnerships, developing and demonstrating technologies and capabilities, and performing detailed analyses to answer fundamental scientific questions and address exploration enabling knowledge gaps through analyses which cannot be performed in situ. Such missions may be required to access extreme environments, perform complex surface operations, and handle uniquely demanding sample requirements. Such activities can result in major advances in planetary sciences, astrobiology and the future of exploration.
A Lunar Polar Sample Return mission, envisaged in the early 2020s by Roscosmos, has been identified by ESA as an important cooperative mission opportunity, and as a logical follow-on from a possible European participation to the Luna-Resurs Lander mission planned by Roscosmos before the end of this decade. In addition a human tended deep space capability, as initiated with the Orion vehicle currently developed by NASA in cooperation with ESA, can be of benefit to a sample return mission and may lead to a future integration of robotic and human exploration.
In preparation for these missions it is important to review our current knowledge and understanding of the Moon, establish the scientific and technical goals that should be targeted and the associated challenges that lie ahead. This workshop will explore the possible benefits and scientific return from Lunar Sample Return missions and investigate the implications for future mission systems.
Objectives
The workshop is being organised to gather information and opinions from stakeholders in the science and technology communities to inform future studies into lunar sample return missions, most likely to be considered in the frame of international partnerships. The inputs will be considered by the ESA Lunar Sample Return Science Definition Team and used as inputs for a Science Definition and Requirements Document which will be used to inform future ESA activities in this area.
The key objectives are to identify:
Ways in which Lunar Sample Return will support preparations for future exploration activities
Scientific priorities and competencies for the analysis of samples and to define objectives for sample return missions
Mission requirements that these objectives impose on missions
Technical challenges of meeting these requirements and potential solutions

Neowise observations of near earth objects- preliminary resultsSérgio Sacani
The NEOWISE survey observed near-Earth objects at infrared wavelengths, detecting over 130 new NEOs. Analysis of the 428 NEOs detected allows estimates of the total NEO population between 100m and 1km in size. The survey found an estimated 981±19 NEOs larger than 1km have been detected, meeting the Spaceguard goal of detecting 90% of objects this size. It also estimates 20,500±3000 NEOs larger than 100m. The cumulative size distribution is best represented by a broken power law.
New Horizons is a NASA spacecraft that was launched in 2006 as part of the New Frontiers program. It performed a flyby of Pluto in 2015, capturing the first close-up images of the dwarf planet. After completing its Pluto flyby, New Horizons maneuvered for a 2019 flyby of Kuiper belt object 2014 MU69, becoming the first mission to explore the Kuiper belt. The spacecraft continues to send back new data about its encounters, helping scientists learn more about the formation and geology of planetary bodies in the outer solar system.
Pluto has captured people’s imagination for nearly a century.

ILOA Galaxy Forum USA 2013 - Marco PavoneILOAHawaii
The document discusses challenges and prospects for surface exploration of small solar system bodies like asteroids and comets. It describes how future exploration will involve close proximity observations, sampling at multiple sites on these bodies, and operations in risky areas and specific regions. Several concepts for in-situ exploration are presented, including static platforms like landers as well as mobile platforms like rovers, hoppers, and spacecraft-rover hybrids. A reference mission is described that would use a hybrid robotic platform to systematically explore Phobos through guided rolling and hopping to study its origin and composition.
The document summarizes Adriaan Blaauw's career and contributions to astronomy and the European Southern Observatory (ESO). It discusses how he played a key role in establishing ESO and served as its second Director General from 1970-1974. It also notes how he helped create the influential astronomy journal Astronomy and Astrophysics by providing the decisive push to combine existing national journals. The document pays tribute to Blaauw's distinguished research career and influential leadership in international astronomy organizations over many decades.
This document summarizes the discovery of a transiting circumbinary planet (PH1) in a quadruple star system by volunteers with the Planet Hunters citizen science project. PH1 orbits outside a 20-day eclipsing binary consisting of an F dwarf and an M dwarf star. It has a radius of 6.18 ± 0.17 R⊕ and an upper mass limit of 169 M⊕. Beyond PH1's orbit is a distant visual binary bound to the system, making this the first known case of a transiting planet in a quadruple star configuration. Planet Hunters volunteers identified transit features in the Kepler light curve of KIC 4862625 through visual inspection and discussion, leading to the confirmation and characterization
This document provides an overview of exoplanets and their discovery. It discusses how the first exoplanet was discovered in 1995 using the radial velocity method by detecting wobbles in a star's movement. The Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009, significantly advanced exoplanet discovery through the transit method of detecting dips in starlight as planets pass in front. To date over 3,000 exoplanets have been confirmed across the galaxy, with an estimated trillion planets in the Milky Way alone, showing that small, Earth-sized planets are very common. Current telescopes continue working to find and characterize more exoplanets and their atmospheres.
Humans to Mars: Logical Step or Dangerous Distraction?James Vedda
1) The document examines past proposals for human exploration of Mars since the 1950s and assesses why they failed to gain lasting political and public support.
2) It proposes that human exploration of the Moon and Mars should be pursued separately based on their own merits and timelines, rather than being linked as part of one overarching plan.
3) Several high-profile commissions and reports since the 1980s endorsed human missions to Mars but provided little convincing rationale for such an ambitious goal and did not secure necessary funding, showing that simply including Mars in long-term visions has not been enough to gain traction.
1. Watson Brake is an 11-mound site in Louisiana dated to over 5000 years before present, making it the earliest known mound complex with earthen enclosures in North America.
2. Radiometric, luminescence, artifactual, geomorphic, and pedogenic data provide evidence for the antiquity of the site.
3. The site was likely occupied by hunter-gatherers who seasonally exploited aquatic resources and collected plant species that later became domesticated in eastern North America.

International Lunar Observatory-1: Making Moon South Pole Astronomy and Communications a Reality – Steve Durst, Founding Director, International Lunar Observatory Association, Editor and Publisher of Space Age Publishing Co.
ILO-1 Moon South Pole: A new frontier as exciting and enriching as Humans on Mars or trillion dollar asteroids, and much closer in space and time.
Pursuing a series of Moon-based observatory missions to complement Earth-based and Space-based astronomy, ILOA seeks to advance Galaxy Imaging for 21st century astronomy education with its ILO-1 primary mission 2-meter radio antenna to Malapert Mt. 86°S 2.7°E near the Moon’s South Pole, with an ILO-X precursor mission aboard a GLXP lander, and with a Human Service Mission to the ILO-1 / robotic village new world frontier.
ILOA is also collaborating with the National Astronomical Observatories – Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) Lunar Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT) at Mare Imbrium 44°N 20°W aboard the China Chang’e-3 Moon Lander, the first spacecraft to land on the Moon in almost 40 years and the only spacecraft operating on the lunar surface. Conducting science-driven and education-based Astronomy from the Moon via LUT is a foundational success of international cooperation on which the ILOA intends to build.
More than 40 years since the Far Ultraviolet Camera / Spectrograph operated on the Descartes Highlands by NASA Apollo 16 Commander and ILOA Board of Director Emeritus John Young in April 1972, ILOA is drawing together resources from across the planet to reclaim the cosmic revolution of Humanity as a Multi World Species.
The 7th Edition of ILOA’s stellar “Galaxy Map” is now being distributed to high school teachers and other educators around the world, designed for use in every class with maps of the world and Solar System
1. The document discusses the quest to detect extra-terrestrial life and the consequences this would have for science and society. It explores both the scientific and societal implications.
2. While only life on Earth is currently known, conditions suitable for harboring life are thought to exist on other worlds like Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. The discovery of life elsewhere would have fundamental impacts and challenge existing views of life's uniqueness.
3. There is much unknown about the origin and distribution of life in the universe. Key questions remain unanswered about whether life follows universal principles or if Earth's life arose from highly improbable chances. Detecting life elsewhere could help answer these questions.

This document summarizes a discussion meeting about detecting extra-terrestrial life and its consequences. It notes that astronomers can now detect planets around other stars where life may exist, and living generations may see signatures of life detected. If life is found elsewhere, it would fundamentally change how humanity understands itself. The meeting addressed not just scientific issues but also societal impacts, covering topics like the origins and evolution of life, searching for extra-solar planets and extra-terrestrial intelligence, and the implications for science and society. It highlights our current lack of knowledge about life beyond Earth and the challenges in defining it and identifying unambiguous signatures.
The document provides an overview of the field of astrobiology, including its history and goals. It discusses the search for life on Mars, Europa and beyond Earth. The goals of astrobiology include understanding the origin and distribution of life, characterizing habitable environments in the solar system and beyond, and determining how life emerges and evolves in different environments. Both long term goals like searching for life on other worlds and short term goals like Mars exploration are mentioned.
The Universe: A Module in Science and Technology for Grade 5 Pupilscryster
The document provides information about a module on the universe for grade 5 pupils. It includes the mission, vision and goals of the college of education. It discusses the big bang theory, big crunch theory, steady state theory and nebular theory as possible explanations for the origin of the universe.

The module is intended to help pupils gain knowledge about the universe and solar system through interactive lessons and activities.
NASA and other space agencies are searching for signs of extraterrestrial life by looking for bacteria and organic molecules on planets and moons that show evidence of once having liquid water. The Viking landers tested Mars for life in 1976 but found no conclusive evidence. The Phoenix lander searched the Martian arctic for organic molecules and water ice in 2008. The Hubble Telescope has detected methane, an organic molecule, in the atmosphere of planets orbiting other stars, which could indicate the possibility of life. Europa and Enceladus, moons of Jupiter and Saturn, are also prime targets in the search due to evidence that they may harbor subsurface oceans.
The International Space Station is a scientific space station operated jointly by five space agencies to conduct experiments in microgravity. Astronauts live aboard the ISS for 2-6 months at a time to study fields like biology, physics and astronomy. The goal is to gain insights that can help address problems on Earth like global warming by observing our planet from space.

Moodle is structured with a site at the top level containing categories to organize courses. Courses are then comprised of topics, resources, activities, and blocks. All parts of Moodle including the site, categories, courses, and their components are considered contexts where user roles can be assigned. The document outlines this structure and emphasizes that users have roles within contexts rather than being assigned globally in Moodle.
The document discusses Moodle, an open-source learning management system. It describes Moodle as a platform for building online courses using modular "bricks" like forums, assignments, quizzes and more. These bricks provide different ways for teachers and students to communicate, store information, evaluate understanding, and collaborate. Moodle has over 33 million users worldwide and its developers remain committed to open-source sharing and improvement of the platform.
This document discusses how emojis, emoticons, and text speak can be used to teach students. It provides background on the origins of emoticons in 1982 as ways to convey tone and feelings in text communications. It then suggests that with text speak and emojis, students can translate, decode, summarize, play with language, and add emotion to language. A number of websites and apps that can be used for emoji-related activities, lessons, and discussions are also listed.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

O documento fornece resumos detalhados de cada capítulo dessas três seções iniciais do livro de Gênesis.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Uma equipe formada por astrônomos de Israel, da Europa, da Coreia e dos EUA, anunciou a descoberta de um exoplaneta gigante gasoso circumbinário, na zona habitável de seu par de estrelas, uma ocorrência surpreendentemente comum para os exoplanetas circumbinários descobertos pela missão Kepler/K2 da NASA.
Lembrando o planeta da ficção, Tatooine, exoplanetas circumbinários orbitam duas estrelas e assim têm dois sóis em seu céu.
O exoplaneta circumbinário, recém-descoberto, denominado de Kepler-453b, leva 240.5 dias para orbitar suas estrelas, enquanto as estrelas orbitam uma com relação a outra a cada 27.3 dias.
A estrela maior, a Kepler-453A, é similar ao nosso Sol, contendo 94% da massa do Sol, enquanto que a estrela menor, a Kepler-453B, tem cerca de 20% da massa e é mais fria e mais apagada.
O sistema binário, localiza-se na constelação de Lyra, e está a aproximadamente 1400 anos-luz de distância da Terra. Estima-se que esse sistema tenha entre 1 e 2 bilhões de anos de vida, sendo bem mais novo que o nosso Sistema Solar.
Também conhecido como KIC 9632895b, o Kepler-453b tem um raio 6.2 vezes maior que o da Terra. Sua massa não foi medida nos dados atuais, mas provavelmente ele deve ter cerca de 16 vezes a massa da Terra.
De acordo com os astrônomos, o Kepler-453b, é o terceiro planeta circumbinário da missão Kepler, descoberto na zona habitável de um par de estrelas.
Devido ao seu tamanho, e a sua natureza gasosa, o planeta pouco provavelmente deve abrigar a vida como nós a conhecemos. Contudo, ele pode, como os gigantes gasosos do Sistema Solar, ter grandes luas, e essas luas poderiam ser habitáveis. Sua órbita se manterá estável por 10 milhões de anos, aumentando a possibilidade da vida se formar nas suas luas.
Com o número de exoplanetas circumbinários conhecidos agora em dez, os cientistas podem começar a comparar diferentes sistemas e procurar uma tendência. Os sistemas tendem a ser bem compactos e podem aparecer num grande número de configurações.
Uma vez pensados como sendo raros e até mesmo impossíveis de existir, essa e outras descobertas do Kepler, confirmam que esses planetas são comuns na nossa Via Láctea.
“A diversidade e complexidade desses sistemas circumbinários é algo maravilhoso. Cada novo planeta circumbinário, é uma joia, revelando algo inesperado e desafiador”, disse o Prof. William Welsh da Universidade Estadual de San Diego, e o primeiro autor do artigo que descreve a descoberta, publicado no Astrophysical Journal.

Delivery of dark_material_to_vesta_via_carbonaceous_chondritic_impactsSérgio Sacani
This document analyzes dark material (DM) observed on the surface of asteroid Vesta by NASA's Dawn spacecraft. Spectral analysis finds the DM has properties similar to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites mixed with Vestan surface materials. Laboratory experiments matching the albedo and absorption bands of DM used mixtures of carbonaceous chondrites and eucrite basalt. Impact modeling suggests the DM was delivered via impacts of carbonaceous chondrite asteroids during the formation of the large Veneneia impact basin on Vesta. This supports the idea that carbonaceous chondrites were an important early source of carbon and volatiles in the solar system.
AT 2022aedm and a New Class of Luminous, Fast-cooling Transients in Elliptica...Sérgio Sacani
This document reports the discovery and follow-up observations of a remarkable fast-evolving optical transient called AT 2022aedm. Key points:
- AT 2022aedm was discovered by the ATLAS survey and reached an extremely luminous peak magnitude of Mg ≈ -22 mag.
- It exhibited an unusually fast rise time of 9 days and faded by 2 magnitudes in the following 15 days.
- Most surprisingly, its host galaxy was found to be a massive elliptical galaxy with negligible star formation.
- Extensive follow-up observations including spectroscopy found it shared properties with two other similar transients in passive galaxies, suggesting a new class of "luminous fast coolers." However
The 19 Feb. 2016 Outburst of Comet 67P/CG: An ESA Rosetta Multi-Instrument StudySérgio Sacani
On 19 Feb. 2016 nine Rosetta instruments serendipitously observed an outburst of gas and dust
from the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Among these instruments were cameras
and spectrometers ranging from UV over visible to microwave wavelengths, in-situ gas, dust and
plasma instruments, and one dust collector. At 9:40 a dust cloud developed at the edge of an image
in the shadowed region of the nucleus. Over the next two hours the instruments recorded a signature
of the outburst that signicantly exceeded the background. The enhancement ranged from 50% of
the neutral gas density at Rosetta to factors >100 of the brightness of the coma near the nucleus.
Dust related phenomena (dust counts or brightness due to illuminated dust) showed the strongest
enhancements (factors >10). However, even the electron density at Rosetta increased by a factor 3
and consequently the spacecraft potential changed from 16V to 20V during the outburst. A
clear sequence of events was observed at the distance of Rosetta (34 km from the nucleus): within 15
minutes the Star Tracker camera detected fast particles ( 25 ms 1) while 100 m radius particles
were detected by the GIADA dust instrument 1 hour later at a speed of 6 ms 1. The slowest
were individual mm to cm sized grains observed by the OSIRIS cameras. Although the outburst
originated just outside the FOV of the instruments, the source region and the magnitude of the
outburst could be determined.
The Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS)Sérgio Sacani
We describe the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), which is a ground-based
project searching for transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. NGTS builds on the
legacy of previous surveys, most notably WASP, and is designed to achieve higher
photometric precision and hence find smaller planets than have previously been de-
tected from the ground. It also operates in red light, maximising sensitivity to late
K and early M dwarf stars. The survey specifications call for photometric precision
of 0.1 per cent in red light over an instantaneous field of view of 100 square degrees,
enabling the detection of Neptune-sized exoplanets around Sun-like stars and super-
Earths around M dwarfs. The survey is carried out with a purpose-built facility at
Cerro Paranal, Chile, which is the premier site of the European Southern Observatory
(ESO). An array of twelve 20 cm f/2.8 telescopes fitted with back-illuminated deep-
depletion CCD cameras are used to survey fields intensively at intermediate Galactic
latitudes. The instrument is also ideally suited to ground-based photometric follow-up
of exoplanet candidates from space telescopes such as Gaia, TESS and PLATO. We
present observations that combine precise autoguiding and the superb observing con-
ditions at Paranal to provide routine photometric precision of 0.1 per cent in 1 hour
for stars with I-band magnitudes brighter than 13. We describe the instrument and
data analysis methods as well as the status of the survey, which achieved first light
in 2015 and began full survey operations in 2016. NGTS data will be made publicly
available through the ESO archive.
1) NASA's Kepler mission discovered two distinct transit signals around a bright G-type star, Kepler-10.
2) Statistical tests established the planetary nature of the shorter period signal, now called Kepler-10b.
3) Forty precision Doppler measurements confirmed Kepler-10b, finding it has a radius of 1.416+0.033 R⊕ and is the smallest transiting exoplanet discovered.
A habitable fluvio_lacustrine_at_gale_crater_mars1Sérgio Sacani
The Curiosity rover discovered fine-grained sedimentary rocks in Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars that are inferred to represent an ancient lake environment. Analysis found the environment would have been habitable by microorganisms, with a neutral pH, low salinity, and variable redox states of iron and sulfur. Key biogenic elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus were detected, suggesting the environment could have supported a Martian biosphere based on chemolithoautotrophy. The habitable conditions were likely present for hundreds to tens of thousands of years. These results highlight the potential for fluvial-lacustrine environments on Mars after the Noachian period to
This document summarizes the discovery of HIP 116454b, the first planet discovered by the Kepler K2 mission. The host star HIP 116454 is a bright, nearby K-dwarf observed during the K2 engineering test in February 2014. Analysis of the K2 photometry using a new technique revealed a single transit, indicating a super-Earth sized planet with a radius of 2.53 R⊕. Follow-up radial velocity observations and photometry from other telescopes confirmed the planet and refined its properties to a mass of 11.82 M⊕ and orbital period of 9.1 days. This makes HIP 116454b one of the few super-Earth exoplanets around bright stars amenable to detailed
Energetic eruptions leading to a peculiar hydrogen-rich explosion of a massi...Sérgio Sacani
Every supernova so far observed has been considered to be the terminal explosion of a star. Moreover, all supernovae with absorption lines in their spectra show those lines decreasing in velocity over time, as the ejecta expand and thin, revealing slower-moving material that was previously hidden. In addition, every supernova that exhibits the absorption lines of hydrogen has one main light-curve peak, or a plateau in luminosity, lasting approximately 100 days before declining1. Here we report observations of iPTF14hls, an event that has spectra identical to a hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova, but characteristics that differ extensively from those of known supernovae. The light curve has at least five peaks and remains bright for more than 600 days; the absorption lines show little to no decrease in velocity; and the radius of the line-forming region is more than an order of magnitude bigger than the radius of the photosphere derived from the continuum emission. These characteristics are consistent with a shell of several tens of solar masses ejected by the progenitor star at supernova-level energies a few hundred days before a terminal explosion. Another possible eruption was recorded at the same position in 1954. Multiple energetic pre-supernova eruptions are expected to occur in stars of 95 to 130 solar masses, which experience the pulsational pair instability2–5. That model, however, does not account for the continued presence of hydrogen, or the energetics observed here. Another mechanism for the violent ejection of mass in massive stars may be required.

This document analyzes transit timing observations from the first four months of Kepler mission data. It finds that at least 12% (~65) of planet candidates show evidence of transit timing variations (TTVs), suggesting non-Keplerian motion likely due to gravitational interactions with other planets. While longer observation time is needed, TTVs could confirm multiple planet systems identified by Kepler and provide insights into planetary system dynamics and planet formation. The analysis measures individual transit times, assesses the significance of any variations compared to linear and quadratic ephemeris models, and identifies planet candidates warranting further TTV study.
The harps n-rocky_planet_search_hd219134b_transiting_rocky_planetSérgio Sacani
Usando o espectrógrafo HARPS-N acoplado ao Telescopio Nazionale Galileo no Observatório de Roque de Los Muchachos, nas Ilhas Canárias, os astrônomos descobriram três exoplanetas, classificados como Super-Terras e um gigante gasoso orbitando uma estrela próxima, chamada de HD 219134.
A HD 219134, também conhecida como HR 8832 é uma estrela do tipo anã-K de quinta magnitude, localizada a aproximadamente 21 anos-luz de distância da Terra, na constelação de Cassiopeia.
A estrela é levemente mais fria e menos massiva que o nosso sol. Ela é tão brilhante que pode ser observada a olho nu.
O sistema planetário HD 219134, abriga um planeta gigante gasoso externo e três planetas internos classificados como super-Terras, um dos quais transita em frente à estrela.
NGTS-1b: A hot Jupiter transiting an M-dwarfSérgio Sacani
We present the discovery of NGTS-1b, a hot-Jupiter transiting an early M-dwarf
host (Teff,∗=3916 +71
−63 K) in a P = 2.647 d orbit discovered as part of the Next Generation
Transit Survey (NGTS). The planet has a mass of 0.812 +0.066
−0.075MJ and radius
of 1.33 +0.61
−0.33 RJ , making it the largest and most massive planet discovered transiting
any M-dwarf. NGTS-1b is the third transiting giant planet found around an M-dwarf,
reinforcing the notion that close-in gas giants can form and migrate similar to the
known population of hot Jupiters around solar type stars. The host star shows no
signs of activity, and the kinematics hint at the star being from the thick disk population.
With a deep (2.5%) transit around a K = 11.9 host, NGTS-1b will be a strong
candidate to probe giant planet composition around M-dwarfs via JWST transmission
spectroscopy.

Indo além da descoberta e imageamento de um jovem Júpiter, os astrônomos usando o novo instrumento do Observatório Gemini, Planet Imager, o GPI, eles pesquisaram um mundo recém-descoberto com detalhes sem precedentes. O que eles encontraram é um planeta com cerca de duas vezes a massa de Júpiter, e o exoplaneta mais parecido com um planeta do Sistema Solar já imageado diretamente ao redor de outra estrela.
O exoplaneta, conhecido como 51 Eridani b, orbita sua estrela hospedeira a uma distância equivalente a 13 vezes a distância da Terra ao Sol (o equivalente a uma distância entre Saturno e Urano no nosso Sistema Solar). O sistema está localizado a cerca de 100 anos-luz de distância. Os dados do Gemini, também forneceram aos cientistas as detecções espectroscópicas de metano já detectadas na atmosfera de um planeta fora do nosso Sistema Solar, adicionando mais similaridades desse exoplaneta com os planetas gigantes do nosso Sistema Solar.

Nightside clouds and disequilibrium chemistry on the hot Jupiter WASP-43bSérgio Sacani
HotJupiters are amongthebest-studied exoplanets, but it is still poorly understood how their chemical composition and cloud properties vary with longitude. Theoretical models predict that clouds may condense on the nightside and that molecular abundances can be driven out of equilibrium by zonal winds. Here we report a phase-resolved emission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-43b measured from 5–12µ 5–12µ 5–12µm with JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). 1524 ±35 1524 ±35 and 863±23 The spectra reveal a large day–night temperature contrast (with average brightness temperatures of 1524 ± 35 863 ±23 863 ±23Kelvin, respectively) and evidence for water absorption at all orbital phases. Comparisons with three-dimensional atmospheric models show that both the phase curve shape and emission spectra strongly suggest the presence of nightside clouds which become optically thick to thermal emission at pressures greater than ∼100mbar. The dayside is consistent with a cloudless atmosphere above the mid-infrared photosphere. Con3trary to expectations from equilibrium chemistry but consistent with disequilibrium kinetics models, methane is not detected on the nightside (2σ upper limit of 1–6 parts per million, depending on model assumptions).

This document summarizes the analysis of the first four months of data from the Kepler Mission, which observed 156,453 stars between May and September 2009. A total of 1235 planetary candidates were detected orbiting 997 host stars. The candidates range in size from Earth-sized (68 candidates) to larger than Jupiter (19 candidates). 54 candidates were found in the habitable zone, with 5 being less than twice Earth's size. Over 74% of candidates are smaller than Neptune. The number of candidates peaks at 2-3 times Earth's size and then declines with increasing size. After correcting for biases, the estimated frequency of planets is 6% for Earth-sized, 7% for super-Earth sized, 17%

The JWST ASPIRE program discovered a filamentary structure of galaxies around a z=6.61 quasar through spectroscopic observations. Ten [O III] emitters were found clustered along a filament spanning 637 cMpc3, indicating one of the most overdense early structures known. Additional observations revealed a complex environment with both UV-bright and dusty galaxies present, showing that early galaxy evolution was not simultaneous around the quasar. In total 41 [O III] emitters were discovered between 5.3 < z < 6.7, with half clustered at z ~ 5.4 and 6.2, indicating high-redshift star-forming galaxies are generally clustered.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
