What Is Space Bioethics?

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.

Out There No One Has a Right to Die

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

Production of Oxidants by Ion Bombardment of Icy Moons in the Outer Solar System

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, 2011
Our groups in Brazil, France and Italy have been active, among others in the world, in performing experiments on physical-chemical effects induced by fast ions colliding with solids (frozen gases, carbonaceous and organic materials, silicates, etc.) of ...

Structural and spectroscopic study of the kieserite-dwornikite solid-solution series, (Mg,Ni)SO4·H2O, at ambient and low temperatures, with cosmochemical implications for icy moons and Mars

open access: yesAmerican Mineralogist, 2020
The investigation of the presence and role of sulfates in our solar system receives growing attention because these compounds play a crucial role in the water budget of planets such as Mars and significantly influence melting equilibria on the icy moons ...

Can Generative AI support the learning agency of students with disability? A case study of an Australian secondary school

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite increasing interest in using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education, little is known about how students with disability engage with GenAI to support their own learning. This study investigates the potential of ChatGPT to support the learning agency of adolescents with disability in a secondary science classroom in ...

Measuring Ganymede’s Librations with Laser Altimetry

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Jupiter’s moon Ganymede might be in possession of a subsurface ocean located between two ice layers. However, from Galileo data it is not possible to unambiguously infer the thickness and densities of the individual layers.

Submillimeter Wave Instrument radiometry of the Jovian icy moons

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context. We address the issue of remote sensing of the surfaces of Galilean icy moons. We investigate the prospects for retrieval of the physical parameters of the surface of the Jovian icy moons from submillimeter wave radiometry data. Aims.

Not that different after all: Pro‐environmental social norms predict pro‐environmental behaviour (also) among those believing in conspiracy theories

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Social norms are powerful predictors of pro‐environmental behaviour. At the same time, conspiracy beliefs are prevalent that can reduce individuals' efforts to act pro‐environmentally and might impede the influence of social norms. Across three cross‐sectional studies in three countries (Germany, UK, US; total N = 1037), we investigated the ...

A Potential Mushy Source for the Geysers of Enceladus and Other Icy Satellites

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Enceladus is a target for astrobiology due to the H2O plume ejecta measured by the Cassini spacecraft and the inferred subsurface ocean that could be the source of the geysers.
