The Hubble's Greatest Hits - Chris Lintott, PhD
Presented at the Adler Planetarium on January 13th, 2012

"The Hubble Space Telescope is the best known telescope in history, and the most successful. Its nearly 20 years of history have produced thousands of papers, and hundreds of thousands of images. Reviewing them all would take a lifetime, so luckily Adler astronomer Dr. Chris Lintott has sorted through the archives to bring you his top ten Hubble images. Ranging from new views of our own little Solar System, through the first glimpses of worlds around other stars, this cosmic tour will make use of the incredible projection capabilities of the Grainger Sky Theatre to take Dr. Lintott's audience to the most distant galaxies."

Dr. Lintott is a member of the Adler's Citizen Science department, and splits his time between the planetarium and the University of Oxford, where he is a researcher and a research fellow at New College. He is the project lead of the world's largest collection of citizen science projects, [ http://Zooniverse.org ]Zooniverse.org, which invite members of the public to classify galaxies, discover planets and even sort whale songs. His own research draws on his background as an astrochemist to investigate the evolution of the population of galaxies we see in the present day Universe. An accomplished popularizer, he is co-presenter of the long-running BBC tv series 'Sky at Night' and co-author of 'Bang : The complete history of the Universe'.

Episode 33 - Reaching for the Heavens: Vatican Observatory - George V. Coyne, S.J.

suppport@adlerpodcast.com — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:23:25 -0600

Reaching for the Heavens: Vatican Observatory - George V. Coyne, S.J.
Presented at the Adler Planetarium on November 16th, 2011

The Vatican Observatory is the only scientific research institute in the Vatican and is one of the oldest astronomical research institutions in the world. Its headquarters are located in the Papal Gardens at Castel Gandolfo outside Rome, Italy, with a research institute in Tucson, Arizona, USA. The origins of the Observatory go back to the 16th century when Pope Gregory XIII commissioned
a group of Jesuit mathematicians and astronomers to correct the Julian calendar. In 1980 a subsid- iary research institute was founded in Tucson, Arizona and in 1993 the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope was dedicated at the Mt. Graham International Observatory in Arizona. Two particular areas of interest, out of the many areas of research carried out at the institute, are the study of the origin of our solar system through the study of meteorites and the evolution of the universe, which is found to be fertile with the ingredients for life.
George Coyne, SJ, is an astrophysicist, Jesuit priest, Director Emeritus of the Vatican Observatory, and the President of the Vatican Observatory Foundation.

suppport@adlerpodcast.com — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:57:18 -0500

Searching for the Companions of Distant Suns - Jason H. Steffen, PhD
Presented at the Adler Planetarium on October 6th, 2011

Humans have wondered about the existence of other worlds for hundreds and even thousands of years. Now, in the last decade and a half we have finally moved the search for planets circling other stars from science fiction to science fact. Since the discovery of the first exoplanets in the mid nineties the catalog of confirmed exoplanets has grown to include almost 600 planets in about 500 planetary systems. At the forefront of the search for exoplanets is NASA's Kepler mission, which has identified over 1000 candidate systems of which the majority are likely to be confirmed as planets.

This presentation will show the most recent discoveries from the Kepler mission and how those discoveries shape our knowledge of how planetary systems form and evolve, and how our solar system fits into the scene. The program will include a full-dome tour of some of these systems and spectacular imagery and data visualizations in the Adler's renowned Definiti Theater.

Sweeping the Skies: Some Celestial Ladies of the 17th - 19th Centuries - Mary Ritzlin Presented at the Adler Planetarium on May 31, 2011

Mary Ritzlin has been interested in history and art since childhood. For 35 years, she has worked with her husband George in the antiquarian map business, researching and writing catalogue descriptions.

Finding the names of women publishers and engravers on old maps piqued Ms. Ritzlin’s interest, launching her search for additional early women mapmakers. This led to cooperative research with Alice Hudson of the New York Public Library and to the publication of articles in several scholarly journals, including Meridian, The Portolan, and Cartographica.

Ms. Ritzlin will provide a brief survey of women’s contributions to astronomy, touching on the lives of well-known figures such as Caroline Herschel and Maria Mitchell, as well as pioneers including Sophia Brahe and Mary Watson Whitney.

Episode 29 - The New Universe and the Human Future

suppport@adlerpodcast.com — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 16:30:09 -0500

The New Universe and the Human Future - Nancy Ellen Abrans & Joel R. Primack Presented at the Adler Planetarium on July 8, 2011

What would it take, and mean, for Earth’s citizens to become a cosmic society, a society capable of thinking in, and acting for, the extremely long term? The possibility of becoming a cosmic society may seem abstract, even pie-in-the-sky silly right now -- but in fact, it may only be possible now. There may be freedoms and resources available today that in a generation or two will disappear unless changes occur. How can we seize this opportunity? How can we help the world’s people to recognize that the new cosmos is everyone’s home, its origin story is everyone’s story, and that sharing the unique place of intelligent life in this universe is a bond that unites us all?

Episode 28 - The Dark Universe

suppport@adlerpodcast.com — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 17:21:46 -0500

The Dark Universe - Josh Frieman, PhD Presented at the Adler Planetarium on June 9, 2011

Over the last decade, cosmologists have discovered that only 4 percent of the universe is made of ordinary matter — the atoms and molecules that form stars, planets and people. The other 96 percent is dark, existing in a form totally unlike anything scientists have ever encountered.

Dark matter, which makes up approximately a quarter of the universe, holds galaxies together and is the key ingredient in their formation. The remaining three-quarters of the universe is composed of dark energy, a mysterious force that is causing the expansion of the universe to speed up.

Frieman is a professor in astronomy & astrophysics at the University of Chicago and a senior staff scientist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Center for Particle Astrophysics. He directs the Dark Energy Survey, a collaboration of more than 120 scientists from 20 institutions on three continents. The collaboration is building a 570-megapixel camera for a telescope in Chile to probe the origin of cosmic acceleration.

William and Caroline Herschel and the Invention of Modern Astronomy - Michael Lemonick
Presented at The Adler Planetarium on April 3, 2009

In the late 1700s, a professional musician became intrigued with astronomy and began building his own telescopes to make observations of the heavens. The instruments were so extraordinary that in short order he discovered the planet Uranus. Along with his sister Caroline, who ultimately became the world’s first professional female astronomer, he dramatically expanded our knowledge of what secrets the universe holds. His approach to thinking about the heavens was so revolutionary, in fact, that it still dominates astrophysics to this day. Michael D. Lemonick spent more than 20 years as a writer for Time magazine, where he produced more than 50 cover stories on science and medicine, and has contributed to Scientific American, New Scientist, Discover, National Geographic and People magazines as well. He has also written four books on astronomy; his latest, The Georgian Star, is a biography of the 18th-century astronomer William Herschel. Lemonick currently teaches journalism at Princeton University. He holds an AB from Harvard College and MSJ from the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University.

Episode 5 - The Day We Found the Universe

suppport@adlerpodcast.com — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:12:41 -0500

The Day We Found the Universe - Marcia Bartusiak
Presented at The Adler Planetarium on June 5, 2009
On January 1, 1925, the young astronomer Edwin Hubble announced findings that ultimately established that our universe was a thousand trillion times larger than previously believed, filled with myriad galaxies like our own. It was a realization that reshaped how humans understood their place in the cosmos. Six years later, continuing research by Hubble and others forced Albert Einstein to renounce his own cosmic model and finally accept the astonishing fact that the universe was not immobile but instead expanding. The story of these interwoven discoveries includes battles of will, clever insights, and wrong turns made by the early investigators in this great twentieth-century pursuit, from the luminaries (Einstein, Hubble, Harlow Shapley) to the lesser known (such as Henrietta Leavitt, who discovered the means to measure the vast dimensions of the cosmos, and Vesto Slipher, the first and unheralded discoverer of the universe's expansion). In her lecture, Marcia Bartusiak will recount this watershed moment in our cosmic history, describing how Hubble's triumph was achieved only after years of contentious debates over cosmic conjectures that were fiercely disputed.
