8:30 pm
on tips for your package, the manage the corners boats affinities, check on some great cultural memorials to boot the w travel. we got the, are you healthy motivated? i'm between 30 and 55 years old. then that's still time to apply to not set for a chance to move into these rooms for a whole year. the space agency is looking for a full volunteers to take part in an experiment, submit a team life on logs in the run up 2 attempts to build a base on each stuff. it's more on cru trips to the red planet, a roadside pond. i'm shooting one with a rover on board, named off to aerobic comic dog, best known by its french name. it a fix that story and not small this week on dw sign. so welcome to
8:31 pm
tomorrow. today the comic book k 901 a mission to mars, a long journey through the darkness of space to our neighboring planets. the adventure will take them to the martian moon phobos, a small passenger on board, a japanese spaceship. decades of i know it's a dangerous trip to a very, you know spittle area. and i know if you defects were a real dog and he wouldn't be able to survive that income. the rover is named after the dog created by idea or dose. oh, and then he goes, she just in the us, i know the i 6 networks coming to told me that you do fix. this is a little dog drawers, rooms around to discover things for modeling. and then i, me to fix the name actually comes from the french to eat a 6 and stands for stubbornness, but also determination. well, height of to say these type less than 30 kilometers long phobos is one of mars is fascinating moons. the emission, there has clear objectives, i need to bring
8:32 pm
a sample from the motion system back to where it is to find out if it was like that . and if so, once it looked like it is always gives you, the dfcs will be ferried. they're on board a spacecraft built by the japanese space agency jack. so that's what i was in after entering little bits around and some of us chucks that will make a test approach to prepare for its own monday. the improvement on the, during this stage, the robot will be thrown onto the surface from a height of 30 to 45 minutes. i just can someone fits these meet dr. rolling down. so i'm coming to richmond a random position. people have to write themselves some able to over for the whole, and they will then unfolded the solar panels. you can to start generating energy. hopefully it urgent. they need this energy before the 1st nice thing. ferguson is the largest, otherwise it will get so cold. the batteries and electronics will no longer work well as on zillow kind of drip to see. but the he sniffled to the indian equation sniffled. the german and french space agencies developed and built the day fixed and close cooperation. the rover is packed to the brim with technology. it weighs
8:33 pm
in at a relatively modest 25 kilograms. the 4 delicate legs were a major challenge for the team. in light of the extremely low gravity on phobos comes, i just these of the ground might be like, how does snow need? the wheels are designed to kind of chevrolet across the center store. but if it's hot like concrete, it's going to be a bumpy ride. and that has been at the point time europe's mars express emission has been delivering spectacular images of the red planet like these for 20 years. optimizing. sure, i just mazda seen a number of impact, some of the majors of audit, and the object to, from these impacts will likely be found on the photos tech is collected by the moon, as it flew through this clouds of motion material. this last month, the week of whom is on this one crucial instrument built for you. dfcs in berlin is the spectrometer young don borton kline. we have to any little special laser on
8:34 pm
board. so when it fires at the surface, some of the light is reflected back home to work and we analyze the economy, service light safety. the frequency is like how fast is it also makes it does. and from these installations we can tell what kind of a mentor only got out. i mean the be a 2nd important scientific instrument is the rover's radio meter also built in berlin. and again to help identify materials found on phobos. on the you meet the already a meter can measure surface temperatures and a sickness spectra, which on in, until you can see the 6 different devices that each of cramps with the individual sensors and then the one on they can measure extremely low temperature and stuff on this side of this temple, that's one of the purpose of fishing this down to minus 150 degrees celsius. the scientific goal is clear. mysterious thing about the kinds of wrongs will tell us with relative so continued. that's where the moon comes from. whether it's a captured party or is a piece broken out as much as it was the models, it might also tell us whether that was life and if so, when and where it came from,
8:35 pm
cops leading. finally, we're looking for amino acids. and as most of the building blocks of light isn't posted in this needles, the exploration module will return to the mother ship with the rock sample. but only the material gathered from the surface of the martian moon will make the long journey back to earth and return capsule. the dfcs rover will remain behind on cellphones. do you have a passion for science and health? check out the, the you science on take told me what to do. hunting does not get drunk. why do gravitational ways squeeze all bodies? how much water do we need per day? do stressed out plan screens to help know what's the perfect queue for both body gets on dw science. so let's take salt channel. it's packed with stories like this
8:36 pm
one. this satellite can smell spots from face. well, kind of founding coal thoughts and grab some of those meetings as one of the biggest costs for global warming. wife cathy contribute to a sort of global nathan emissions. the oil industry is equally cost of the dave is more than $84.00 times as potent as carbon dioxide and dropping heated around the devil. cutting down medium as the source is in the shop. the one of the most effective ways to then use global warming. the medium is an invisible gas. this makes it hard to detect the spots out used in product communists to spot hotspots like oil fields. i'm a new up, it's from a meeting. usually, new satellites like me to the sides got much better detect vacancy smaller leaks of a bigger audience. ok. these washing machine size satellites cannot detect least miss every small co font in, but they can detect a group of spots and books from i've heard of scholars. so basically it can name and shame. nathan, so is this all from space find the way james web space telescope
8:37 pm
is also able to identify gases in the out. masvie is of x, so time is in 2023 for the 1st time it detected me. same on a planet, over a times the size of a, in a style system around a 120 light years away. organic molecules like me say, might be evidence that life has developed elsewhere and not exceed progress is being made in the search for it. the past pro, physicists and hybrid bag, i've taken a close look at a coalescing accretion desk like this and that, and many others like it out there in the universe. new planets are constantly being formed. but in this star system, the research team has detected water dust and key organic molecules. that means that 1st like planets could see or read a cli also one day form there and likely in other systems, even around very hot and massive stars is the 1st time we find water and carbon
8:38 pm
rich molecules in, in such a environment. and this is very important because we know that most of the star is including our son and our solar system formed in, in extreme environments like this one. it's long been unclear whether rocky plants like ours could take shape near really massive stars. scientists thought the extremely harsh environment and heavy radiation they admit might stop planets from forming out of the matter surrounding them. they were skeptical that water dust and carbon compounds could be found in high concentrations near young, high mass stores. as what's new is that we found this in a system that's very far away in a very extreme environment with lots of you the radiation firestone. yeah, we were very surprised on very helpful to to save it. we were not expecting such a result. the discovery was made possible by the james web space telescope,
8:39 pm
the central component for one of the most important and for red detectors on board . a so called filter wheel was designed and built by the hydra bags. scientists, with its health research teams have been able to use the telescope to look farther out into the universe with far greater precision. the data can be used to identify the tiniest of particles, even those that are thousands of light years away. thanks, we have just opened our eyes to a whole new window and we can now study the universe as much larger as distances. so yes, definitely we're waiting for much more. yeah, up to the is this to the junky gold rush mentality at the moment which always happens unnatural. physics, especially fema and also physics, with great progress and technical capabilities. you find lots of new things you couldn't have imagined before. the infinitive, non sales or field a lawyer as
8:40 pm
a home. and we are currently in the midst of such a time of developing the ins lineup side the james web telescopes. first look at a planetary nursery around a massive store was certainly promising. the team now believes that there are many more ex, so planets out there than previously estimated. let's see. yes, it really looks as if the conditions are right for us like products to form in many different environments evens and i'm conversely, this would also mean that looked like chronic zip code. very, very frequently. the funny thing is, is if you for calling in order to be able to more accurately estimate the potential number of x. so planets out there, the team will next turn the telescope. on 14 of the recreation disc we're planets might be for me. and who knows, in the decades to come, they might even sunday, discover one like our ours with concrete evidence of life. is
8:41 pm
fred, why are they fun? if you have a special science question, send it to us as a video, text or voice mail. if we on switch on the show, we'll send you a little present as the thank you. come on, just ask. this week's view, a question comes from roman, jeez, in mexico. the how does our son work? the star that our planet orbits is a huge fear of electrically charged gas with the diameter over $100.00 times that of ours. it's the solar systems largest, so less jill object and contains more than 99 percent of its total maps
8:42 pm
side the sun, all that mass creates incredibly high pressures and temperatures. 15000000 degrees celsius, which in turn drives the hydrogen. our star mostly consists of to break down into its components atomic nuclei and electronics india extreme conditions at the center of the sun. hydrogen nuclei can then fuse to form heavier elements such as helium. during the fusion process, part of the mouse involved is converted into energy and released as heat. this thermal radiation is admitted in the form of light photons, as they constantly collide with xander deflected by other particles. these photons take around 100000 years to reach the surface of the sun. the sun life we see today was therefore actually created by nuclear fusion, a 100 millennia ago,
8:43 pm
in the sun. this process also releases particles called neutrinos, which are not deflected. so they take just a few seconds to passed the star surface and around 8 minutes later they reach the earth. researchers study the sub atomic particles and well shield the detectors, because they can help reveal which processes are currently taking place deep inside the side. much of what we know about our stars, inner workings is based on observing neutrinos, it admits. but at some point, every fire goes out. as the sun burns up the last of its hydrogen, it will swell to a titanic sides becoming a red giant. and turning the earth's crust into a kind of wide ocean of lava. but this impending dean keep you up at night. it won't happen for 6000000000 years also. in the meantime, we can figure out more efficient ways to tap the sun's rays to generate climate
8:44 pm
friendly electricity. the government of switzerland is helping developers build new solar power projects and researches they have discovered ways to make a raise with more efficiently. spot and large scale switch over to renewables is still proving tricky. the high end this without this solar panel test or re 2500 meters above sea level has been generating electricity from over 7 years, especially in winter. is in here, you can see a number of some of the modules in position that different angles understood in as the energies, as augustine 0 as an energy supply we upfront, we're really interested in producing as much electricity as possible in winter as soon as they meet the loan sale of the solar energy generation doesn't work well on the central time. so these movies because it's often very foggy with and see all, but it does work well up here in the mountain last year. we see great potential on
8:45 pm
alpine solar power plants is tons right next to the test to rate been completed. it will produce electricity for around $3000.00 households, especially in winter to switzerland needs green electricity in winter. that's why the government's energy strategy is now focusing on photo voltaic systems in the mountains. in the summer, it launched a funding program called solar express without pine system slated to start generating electricity as early as 2025. they're supposed to produce up to, to terrell, what hours per year enough for around $400000.00 households and then vicious go. is it realistic is thank you to at least this is so think of potential of $10.00 to $20.00 tera what hours per year is realistic, long time in a medium to them. however, i think we can generate around 3 to 5 terabytes hours of electricity in the else still in developing it. so you can be double sided. alpine photovoltaic systems
8:46 pm
with modules inclined at 60 to 90 degrees, generate the most electricity. they tap available solar radiation very effectively . the sun shines directly on the upper surface, but at the same time, radiation is reflected by the snow on the ground and also strikes the panel under surfaces. 7 years of measurements from the alpine test or re reveal that it generates almost twice as much electricity annually as a reference plant at a lower elevation. in the winter months, it produces up to 3 and a half times more electricity. so the potential is there, but can it be tapped to encourage investment in alpine solar plants and ensure they're built as quickly as possible. subsidies are also part of the solar express program. this with the federal government is willing to cover 60 percent of the costs for a race planned before the end of 2025 extra isn't it?
8:47 pm
the there are currently around a 50 projects in the planning stage, and it could produce a total of around one tower, one hour on. yeah. so, so we would need at least twice as many projects to have to, to turn to what our living item voice me as a means since don't put so feel the place to that's the time table. it's very tight . it's on 16 since we have to feed them energy integrate by 2025 and i to find spot . so we locked the transformer stations, and also the specialist has saved and spits alicio. lloyd. and another issue at some locations is growing resistance among the locals and conservationists. this is the product. yeah, it's the wrong answer to the right question to say we need electricity and of course problem. but do we have to build over landscape somebody else with 2000 meters myself and make a football with one project? envision solar modules covering an area the size of 10 football fields. here we have these on the installation insurance. yeah, i'll see if i have to say that this model looks better than in other places. all
8:48 pm
conservationists weren't clearly opposed here, but in a referendum the locals still said no. other projects in other locations were approved, but environmental associations were opposed and raised objections. he talked on all, on the unlocking pediatricia, there are other plans plans and another valley near here and on an untouched mountain sides down the way l. pine funding has been practiced, essential things happen. so where there are no real roads and biodiversity, you know, it's also quite high. the, some people off the plastic that's about that nice toll thing. we simply come support group plans with the state some cut and we have all kinds of the landscape tools and make sure the long shelf sent them to all house on, on the states. but such objections caused delays and those could even mean the end of some projects. the storehouse showed us exactly the case that projects can be sorted by objection is and then some investors will be asking whether that projects
8:49 pm
will come in under. the timing is to know, well, what are the risks of growing to great, easy, cannot talking to? i mean, some projects might not be realized on all nice fidelity on building a shortage of materials and specialists, as well as resistance from local residents and nature conservation associations. the solar express project base has a number of obstacles, so i'm experts aren't surprised you haven't given it even kind of mr. folks on the transition to renewables inspections, fos and now come build fast enough solid. and that's the problem with lots of people. unfortunately, don't want to start midnight to night and these cloud hub and rolling the swiss government subsidies ain't to turn the solar express into a high speed project. the change is coming at a slower pace. the switzerland is the only place making the green energy transition. a priority,
8:50 pm
the danish city of stone level is also pushing to become carbon neutral. by 2029. it's already cut greenhouse gas emissions by over 50 percent. the program behind it is a model of danish cooperation, involving many participants. both denmark's government, unconscious from industry hilton make was cooled, project 0, a reality zone of the modestly sized port in town and southern denmark, the local region used to be known for its brick making industry new residential buildings. harking back to that past, have one international awards for low energy consumption. there's symbols of the news unable, which wants to be climate neutral by 2029. the project 0 scheme is a public private cooperation. the in a gifted state for us,
8:51 pm
top of all list is energy efficiency didn't quite is because the energy you save the greenest engine oil squeeze bomb that many also use excess heat or waste heat that come from other areas to port. once we've reduced energy consumption as much as we can, we focus on green energy. so that's the idea behind project 0 project. see us ops, craft c o 2 emissions and the municipality have already been reduced by 50 percent since 2007. the most recent achievement of note is a supermarket that acts as a kind of research lab all manner of energy saving technical advances are tested here. the most important idea is that waste heat generated when food is refrigerated is not simply released into the air as used to be the case. behind this glass door lies the high tech heart of the green supermarket. i now look, man is proud of project 0 and of the successful collaboration between retail industry and the local communities. we, i took,
8:52 pm
we have 2 cooling system stunted system on a technical innovation or where we can, we use all the heat that are cooling system producers to see what we can send it back to the district aging network. and then we share hate other municipality in involved convincing. huh. oh we, i used to optimize our energy flow in order to reduce our energy costs. and what is that? because i don't see it, it can cost. and if you're trying to save energy, why not mount some solar panels on the roof while you're at? it makes sense. not only in denmark, the right next to the supermarket as the areas district heating center, as well as local headquarters for the done fost group. the multinational supplies the technology for project 0 cooperation with the municipality is vital for the project. the thing give you how much easier for us because denmark is a smaller country, you know? so if this is so we can try things out and implement them faster, we and also say germany is a bigger country with a big population they. so there's
8:53 pm
a many industries in denmark's drive on this cooperation attorney called them you're done. foss is one of the many examples off on lift and forces on by. so what's a bit, especially in denmark, is that we care about the environment. we can also implement things very quickly on the normal. i'll be the current, as alex estimated on said, take this done foss factory with a work force of 3000 people, which recently went climate neutral, making valves for refrigerators and heat pumps as an energy intensive task, excess waste teeth that's generated is either fit into the districts heating, network, or reuse, like the heat produced during welding processes. the bandwidth thoughts and unity. and we want to reuse the heat. we generate that in monday, but if i'm at so the following, above the flames sucks of energy and heat, which can then be used in production activities. it's a continuous, a continuous process on the, on both products and technologies of all ones. so we're always asking things like,
8:54 pm
where do we use the most energy compared to the production park we have here. the ellen is project zeros, most visible result, a car farai, that's 100 percent electric. it's engine room houses, 30 tons of lithium ion batteries. they are charged at night with wind power above decks on the bridge. the captain is proud of his ship. the menu store healey . i'd hate cents for the most part. it's fantastic to be involved. because this is so new and groundbreaking news and it proves the feasibility of building a vehicle that runs on a tricity and is bigger than a car. some cooper in the pride of a zone of or isn't actually in service right now. the operator says it's carrying out maintenance work until the ellen returns the old fossil fuel driven ferries. exhaust is polluting the air here again. but project 0 has
8:55 pm
a much bigger problems. road traffic, or at least the people who don't want to make the switch to e cars or public transport. the streets are often busy ends on a ball and not just during rush hour, even so the architects have project 0, remain optimistic. did that and start to ship shape the greatest success is that we're all talking to each other on an equal footing. visally involve the citizens who we are all set of the round table, jo for there's not a bus sitting at the head of it. yeah. they're all high for the coast, but all of the tables, we all share responsibility for making this a success from an 8 year to whether it's the local authorities bond because housing association companies, all of us aren't together the municipal grids for a heat, electricity, and gas are now going to be combined to allow for better energy exchange. step by step is unable is continuing on its path to climate neutrality.
8:56 pm
that wraps things up so this week, but make sure to join this again next time. so most stories from the wells of science and research. see you then on tomorrow today the,
