Weve long fantasised about the possibility of life on other planets. But it was only in 1995 that we found the first planet outside our solar system. These exoplanets are hard to find. Of course they are, theyre relatively tiny. And so far theyve mainly been detected indirectly, either by the incredibly slight dimming of a stars light as a planet moves in front of it, or by the wobble of the star caused by something orbiting it. In the last 20 years weve detected about 2000 exoplanets, but we havent actually seen many at all. This is why. Well, the planets are very, very faint compared to a star and theyre very close to a star. The kind of planets where we might find life, an Earth Like Planet Orbiting A Star would be 10 billion times fainter than a star. But if you can see the planets, you can start to look for evidence of life on their surfaces. What you need is something to block out the light of a star. What you need is a star shade. Due to go into space in the middle of the next d
The festival and enjoying a day out. The festival continues tomorrow and of course booktv will be live again tomorrow. Youve been listening to the last panel and that was women in science. That is with and natalia holtz. She will be joining us in just a minute to take your calls. Rise of the rocket girls is the name of her book. The women who propelled us from missiles to the moon to mars. And she joins us now here in the gallagher theater on the campus of the university of arizona. What was the common, the commonality they found among these women . These are women who loved math and science. But they were coming of age at a time when it was not an option for women. They were women going to school in the 1930s and 40s. They were frequently the only women in their math and science classes. I just heard that over and over again. And so you can imagine how it felt for them to come together and be part of this large group of women working at the jet propulsion laboratory. Did nasa have a s
For calculating the trajectory of the satellite as it left earth. So she is sitting there in the middle of the night on january 31, 1958 with a room full of men and they are all over her shoulder to find out if this mission will be a success. And it is her math done by hand with paper and pencil that lets us know explorer one has made it, america has its first satellite. That was one of the first story she told me. And it was so exciting, so thrilling to be able to hear firsthand what that was like. There are not very many people left that can tell us about these nasa missions, what it was like in mission control. It was thrilling to hear that way. Is it a coincidence that this program was starting the same year that went up . It started way before that actually. These were men and women that were working, starting in the late 1930s working on early missiles. Then by the 1950s they started adapting that technology and their goal really was to launch the worlds first satellite. And i st
