Super Nova, Dwarf Stars, Black Holes, Quasars and Nebulae. Deep Space is home to some pretty peculiar things. Anyone who's ever looked up at night would know that it's a whole other world out there. So suit up with Dr Rob as he goes for a trek through the stars, a universal voyage, and a cosmic expedition to SCOPE out the science of deep space! As once again the ordinary becomes extraordinary, under the SCOPE.Deep Space 101Most of the Deep space is exactly that, Space. Nothing. A huge vacuum. But the next most common things that we can see are stars. So what are they and what's the difference between a dwarf star and a red dwarf? Glen Nagle from the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex helps unravel the mysteries of the Universe.Lab Breakdown - The SunYou get to see it every day, if it isn't cloudy, and without it life on this planet would cease to be. But what is the sun? Dr Rob breaks it down!New HorizonsPluto is now the first planet in a whole new frontier of deep space and the space craft New Horizons is heading its way at a speed of 16.21 kilometres per second! Operations Manager Len Ricardo from the Canberra Deep Space and Communication Complex tells us exactly what New Horizons is hoping to discover on this monumental journey. Junior Experiment - SETIHave you ever looked into the sky and wondered, are we alone? Double Helix Club Member Paige Wieslemann shows us how we can use our computers at home to join the search!Dark EnergyDid you know that a force called dark energy is causing the universe to expand at an ever increasing pace? Michael Drinkwater from the Department of Physics at the University of Queensland helps us explore the mysteries of dark energy and its effects on the universe.Particle AcceleratorScientists are unlocking the secrets to the universe in the largest and most expensive experiment ever built! CERN Physicist Brian Cox explains how it's all going to work.So put on your space suit and join Dr Rob as he proves once again that the ordinary really does become extraordinary, under the SCOPE! |
