THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

3. More on Aristotle:
one of the greatest thinkers in the history of western science and
philosophy, making contributions to logic, metaphysics,
mathematics, physics, biology, botany, ethics, politics, agriculture,
medicine, dance and theatre.
first to classify areas of human knowledge into distinct disciplines
such as mathematics, biology, and ethics.
founder of the Lyceum, the first scientific institute, based in
Athens, Greece.
one of the strongest advocates of a liberal arts education, which
stresses the education of the whole person, including one's moral
character, rather than merely learning a set of skills.
4. Nicomachean Ethics 2:2
All human activities
aim at some good.
Every art and
human inquiry, and
similarly every
action and pursuit ,
is thought to aim at
some good; and for
this reason the good
has been rightly
declared as that at
which all things
aim.
5. What is meant by good life?
living in comfort and
luxury with few
problems or worries.
characterized by
happiness from living
and doing well

6. What is eudimonia?
came from the Greek word eu meaning
“good” and daimon meaning “spirit”.
refers to the good life marked by happiness
and excellence.
flourishing life filled with meaningful
endeavors that empower the human person to
be the best version of himself/herself.
7. Aristotle’s view of good life
the activity of the soul in accordance with
virtue.
o believed that good for humans is the
maximum realization of what was unique to
humans.
o the good for humans was to reason well.
o The task of reason was to teach humans how
to act virtuously, and the exercise faculties in
accordance with virtue.
8. Virtue/s

9. Nicomachean Ethics 2:1
Virtue, then, being of two kinds,
intellectual and moral, intellectual virtue in
the main owes its birth and growth in
teaching ( for its reason it requires
experience and time). While moral virtue
comes about as a result of habit
10. The Virtues:
Intellectual virtue
theoretical wisdom
(thinking anf truth)
practical wisdom
understanding.
Experience and time
are necessary
requirements for the
development of
intellectual virtue
Moral virtue
controlled by practical
wisdom (ability to
make right judgment)
owed its development
to how one nurtured it
as habit.
can be learned
11. Happiness to Aristotle
"Happiness depends on ourselves.“
central purpose of human life and a goal in
itself.
depends on the cultivation of virtue.
a genuinely happy life required the fulfillment
of a broad range of conditions, including
physical as well as mental well-being.
12. Happiness as the Ultimate Purpose of
Human Existence
happiness is a final end or goal that
encompasses the totality of one's life.
It is not something that can be gained or
lost in a few hours, like pleasurable
sensations.
It is more like the ultimate value of your life
as lived up to this moment, measuring how
well you have lived up to your full potential
as a human being.
13. Science and Technology and Good
Life
S&T is also the movement towards good life.
S&T are one of the highest expressions of
human faculties.
S&T allow us to thrive and flourish if we desire
it.
S&T may corrupt a person
S&T with virtue can helpan individual to be
out of danger.
14. Why is it that everyone is in the
pursuit of the good life?
15. “Life is good! It is only our thoughts, choices and
actions towards the situations we meet in life each
moment of time that makes life look bad! The same bad
situation in life that makes one person think badly
inspires another to do a noble thing! The same good
situation in life that makes one person feel so good to
get into a bad situation inspires another person to
create another good situation because of the good
situation. It is all about thoughts, choices and actions!
Life is good! Live it well!”
― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
16. One must find the truth about what
the good is before one can even try to
locate that which is good.

2. What does Aristotle say about the good
life? Does it still stand in the
contemporary world?
3. How is the progress in science and
technology a movement towards the good
life?
