Blue Origin NS-19, Parker Solar Probe 'touches' the Sun, and JWST launches Xmas Eve! TIS262
Manage episode 315213455 series 3021637
In this episode we cover the latest in all-things space since our last episode on Dec 9th.
- Blue Origin launched the 'Original Six' to the edge of space and back landing safely in West Texas.
- The Parker Solar Probe 'touched' the sun and it's corona for the first time, and some recent research linking solar wind and asteroid regolith with creating water which may explain the Earth's water 'budget'. One thing's for sure, our Sun is a main reason we have life as stable as we have it on Earth. To think it may also be 'wetting' the solar systems airless bodies is WILD
- Jame Webb Space Telescope launches on Christmas Eve, December 24th at 7:20AM EST. We discuss what JWST will do to expand our understanding of the universe and our existence. Where we come from.
