Rosetta: From Ancient Egypt to a Comet - Professor Ian Wright
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 10 Μαρ 2015
An
introduction to Rosetta - both the stone and the European Space Agency
mission - and to the life's work of Colin Pillinger, who inspired the
connection.
Just as the Rosetta Stone and the Philae Obelisk
became the key to interpreting hieroglyphs and understanding ancient
Egyptian civilisation, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe and its
Philae lander are key to furthering our understanding of the formation
of our solar system, and the origins of life. The Philae lander made the
first ever soft landing on a comet, opening a new chapter in Solar
System exploration.
Professor Ian Wright, Principal Investigator
for the Ptolemy instrument of the Philae lander, is perfectly placed to
offer this short introduction to the two.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
Gresham
College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition
continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being
made available for free download from our website. There are currently
