Jon Nguyen: Tour the solar system from home

Prevoditelj: Suzana Baric Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

As a kid, I was fascinated with all things air and space.

Kao dijete fasciniralo me sve vezano uz zrak i svemir.

I would watch Nova on PBS.

Gledao sam emisiju Nova na PBS-u.

Our school would show Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Moja škola prikazivala je emisiju Bill Nye Znanstvenik.

When I was in elementary school, my next door neighbor,

Kad sam bio u osnovnoj školi, moj prvi susjed

he gave me a book for my birthday.

poklonio mi je knjigu za rođendan.

It was an astronomy book,

Bila je to knjiga o astronomiji

and I poured over that thing for hours on end,

i satima bih je pažljivo proučavao.

and it was a combination of all these things

Bila je to kombinacija svih ovih stvari

that inspired me to pursue space exploration

koje su me nadahnule da krenem u istraživanje svemira,

as my own personal dream, and part of that dream was,

što je bio moj san. Kao dio tog sna

I always wanted to just fly around the solar system

uvijek sam želio letjeti po Sunčevom sustavu

and visit different planets and visit moons and spacecraft.

i posjetiti različite planete, mjesece i svemirske letjelice.

Well, a number of years later, I graduated from UCLA

Godinama kasnije diplomirao sam na UCLA-u

and I found myself at NASA,

i našao se u NASA-i,

working for the jet propulsion laboratory,

radeći u laboratoriju za mlazni pogon,

and there our team was challenged

gdje je moj tim bio zadužen

to create a 3D visualization of the solar system,

za stvaranje 3D prikaza Sunčevog sustava.

and today I want to show you what we've done so far.

Danas vam želim pokazati što smo do sad napravili.

Now, the kicker is, everything I'm about to do here

Najbolje od svega jest da sve što ću ovdje učiniti

you can do at home, because we built this

možete napraviti i doma, zato što smo ovo izradili

for the public for you guys to use.

za javnost, kako biste vi to mogli koristiti.

So what you're looking at right now is the Earth.

Ovo što upravo gledate jest Zemlja.

You can see the United States and California

Možete vidjeti SAD, Kaliforniju,

and San Diego, and you can use the mouse

San Diego, a možete koristiti miš

or the keyboard to spin things around.

ili tipkovnicu kako biste sve rotirali.

Now, this isn't new. Anyone who's used Google Earth

To nije novina. Tko god je koristio Google Earth

has seen this before, but one thing we like to say

već je ovo vidio, ali u našoj grupi volimo reći

in our group is, we do the opposite of Google Earth.

da radimo suprotno od Google Eartha.

Google Earth goes from this view down to your backyard.

Google Earth ide od ovog pogleda dolje do vašeg dvorišta.

We go from this view out to the stars.

Mi idemo od ovog pogleda do zvijezda.

So the Earth is cool, but what we really want to show

Zemlja je cool, ali ono što vam zbilja želimo pokazati

are the spacecraft,

jesu letjelice

so I'm going to bring the interface back up,

pa ću opet vratiti sučelje.

and now you're looking at a number of satellites

Sada gledate nekoliko satelita

orbiting the Earth.

koji kruže oko Zemlje.

These are a number of our science space Earth orbiters.

Ovo je nekoliko znanstvenih orbitera koji kruže oko Zemlje.

We haven't included military satellites and weather satellites

Nismo uključili vojne i meteorološke satelite,

and communication satellites and reconnaissance satellites.

kao ni komunikacijske i špijunske satelite.

If we did, it would be a complete mess,

Kad bismo to učinili, bio bi to potpuni kaos,

because there's a lot of stuff out there.

zato što gore ima stvarno puno toga.

And the cool thing is, we actually created 3D models

Stvorili smo 3D modele

for a number of these spacecraft, so if you want to visit

za niz tih letjelica pa ako želite posjetiti

any of these, all you need to do is double-click on them.

bilo koju od njih, samo trebate dva puta kliknuti na njih.

So I'm going to find the International Space Station,

Pronaći ću Međunarodnu svemirsku postaju (ISS),

double-click, and it will take us all the way down to the ISS.

dvostruki klik i odvest će nas do nje.

And now you're riding along with the ISS

A sada putujete skupa s ISS-om

where it is right now.

ondje gdje se upravo nalazi.

And the other cool thing is, not only can we

Cool je i to da možemo

move the camera around, we can also control time,

pomicati kameru uokolo, ali i kontrolirati vrijeme.

so I can slide this jog dial here

Tako mogu pomaknuti ovaj prikaz

to shuttle time forward, and now

unaprijed u vremenu i sad

we can see what a sunset on the ISS would look like,

možemo vidjeti kako izgleda zalazak sunca na ISS-u,

and they get one every 90 minutes. (Laughter)

a možete ga vidjeti i svakih 90 minuta. (Smijeh)

All right, so what about the rest of it?

Dobro, što je s ostatkom?

Well, I can click on this home button over here,

Pa, mogu kliknuti ovdje na tipku Home

and that will take us up to the inner solar system,

i to će nas odvesti do unutarnjeg dijela Sunčevog sustava,

and now we're looking at the rest of the solar system.

a sada gledamo ostatak Sunčevog sustava.

You can see, there's Saturn, there's Jupiter,

Ovdje možete vidjeti Saturn, ondje je Jupiter,

and while we're here, I want to point out something.

a kad smo već ovdje, želim nešto istaknuti.

It's actually pretty busy.

Ovdje je prilično prometno.

Here we have the Mars Science Laboratory

Ovdje je Mars Science Laboratory

on its way to Mars, just launched last weekend.

na putu do Marsa, tek lansiran prošli tjedan.

Here we have Juno on its cruise to Jupiter, there.

Ovo je Juno na svom putu do Jupitera, ondje.

We have Dawn orbiting Vesta,

Ovo je Dawn koji kruži oko Veste,

and we have over here New Horizons

a ovdje je New Horizons

on a straight shot to Pluto.

na direktnoj putanji prema Plutonu.

And I mention this because

To spominjem zato

there's this strange public perception that

što postoji čudno mišljenje u javnosti

NASA's dead, that the space shuttles stopped flying

da je NASA mrtva, da su shuttleovi prestali letjeti

and all of the sudden there's no more spacecraft out there.

te da odjednom više nema letjelica u svemiru.

Well, a lot of what NASA does is robotic exploration,

NASA obavlja mnogo istraživanja robotima

and we have a lot of spacecraft out there.

i ima mnogo letjelica u svemiru.

Granted, we're not sending humans up at the moment,

Istina, trenutno ne šaljemo ljude,

well at least with our own launch vehicles,

barem ne našim letjelicama,

but NASA is far from dead,

ali NASA nikako nije mrtva

and one of the reasons why we write a program like this

i jedan od razloga zašto pišemo programe poput ovog

is so that people realize that there's so many other things

jest da ljudi shvate da radimo toliko

that we're doing.

drugih stvari.

Anyway, while we're here, again,

Bilo kako bilo, dok smo ovdje, ponavljam,

if you want to visit anything,

ako želite bilo što posjetiti,

all you need to do is double-click.

potreban je tek dvostruki klik.

So I'm just going to double-click on Vesta,

Ja ću evo kliknuti na Vestu

and here we have Dawn orbiting Vesta,

i tu je Dawn koji kruži oko Veste,

and this is happening right now.

a to se sve događa upravo sada.

I'm going to double-click on Uranus, and we can see

Dvostruko ću kliknuti na Uran i vidimo ga

Uranus rotating on its side along with its moons.

kako kruži zajedno sa svojim mjesecima.

You can see how it's tilted at about 89 degrees.

Možete vidjeti kako je nakošen na oko 89 stupnjeva.

And just being able to visit different places

Možete posjetiti različita mjesta

and go through different times,

i proći kroz različita razdoblja,

we have data from 1950 to 2050.

imamo podatke od 1950. do 2050. godine.

Granted, we don't have everything in between,

Istina, nemamo sve između

because some of the data is hard to get.

zato što je do nekih podataka teško doći.

Just being able to visit places in different times,

Možete posjetiti mjesta u različitim razdobljima,

you can explore this for hours,

možete istraživati satima,

literally hours on end,

doslovno satima bez prestanka,

but I want to show you one thing in particular,

ali nešto vam posebno želim pokazati

so I'm going to open up the destination tab,

pa ću otvoriti prozor za odredište,

spacecraft outer planet missions, Voyager 1,

letjelice s misijom prema vanjskim planetima, Voyager 1,

and I'm going to bring up the Titan flyby.

i pokazat ću vam prelet kraj Titana.

So now we've gone back in time.

Sad smo otišli unatrag u vremenu.

We're now riding along with Voyager 1.

Sada putujemo zajedno s Voyagerom 1.

The date here is November 11, 1980.

Datum je 11. studenog 1980.

Now, there's a funny thing going on here.

Ovdje se događa nešto čudno.

It doesn't look like anything's going on.

Čini se kao da se ne događa ništa.

It looks like I've paused the program.

Izgleda kao da sam pauzirao program.

It's actually running at real rate right now,

Zapravo radi stvarnim tempom,

one second per second, and in fact,

sekundu po sekundi, i u biti,

Voyager 1 here is flying by Titan at

Voyager 1 ovdje leti kraj Titana

I think it's 38,000 miles per hour.

brzinom od 61.150 km/h, mislim.

It only looks like nothing's moving because, well,

Samo izgleda kao da se ne miče zato što, pa,

Saturn here is 700,000 miles away,

Saturn je odavdje udaljen oko 1.100.000 km,

and Titan here is 4,000 to 5,000 miles away.

a Titan je 6.500 do 8.000 km odavde.

It's just the vastness of space makes it look like nothing's happening.

Zbog beskrajnosti svemira čini se kao da se ništa ne događa.

But to make it more interesting,

No, kako bi bilo zanimljivije,

I'm going to speed up time, and we can watch

ubrzat ću protok vremena i možemo gledati

as Voyager 1 flies by Titan,

kako Voyager 1 leti kraj Titana,

which is a hazy moon of Saturn.

Saturnovog maglovitog mjeseca.

It actually has a very thick atmosphere.

Zapravo ima jako debelu atmosferu.

And I'm going to recenter the camera on Saturn, here.

Premjestit ću fokus kamere na Saturn.

I'm going to pull out, and I want to show you

Odmaknut ću se i želim vam pokazati

Voyager 1 as it flies by Saturn.

Voyager 1 kako leti kraj Saturna.

There's a point to be made here.

Ovdje vam želim skrenuti pažnju na nešto.

With a 3D visualization like this,

S 3D prikazom poput ovog,

we can not only just say Voyager 1 flew by Saturn.

možemo reći ne samo da je Voyager 1 proletio kraj Saturna,

There's a whole story to tell here.

već tu postoji cijela priča za ispričati.

And even better, because it's an interactive application,

I još bolje, kako je to interaktivna aplikacija,

you can tell the story for yourself.

možete je ispričati sa svog gledišta.

If you want to pause it, you can pause it.

Ako je želite pauzirati, možete je pauzirati.

If you want to keep going, if you want to change

Ako želite nastaviti, ako želite promijeniti

the camera angle, you can do that,

kut kamere, možete to učiniti

and because of that, I can show you

i zbog toga vam mogu pokazati

that Voyager 1 doesn't just fly by Saturn.

da Voyager 1 zapravo leti ispod Saturna,

It actually flies underneath Saturn.

ne samo pokraj njega.

Now, what happens is, as it flies underneath Saturn,

Kako leti ispod Saturna,

Saturn grabs it gravitationally and flings it up

Saturnova ga gravitacija zgrabi i baci ga gore

and out of the solar system,

i van iz Sunčevog sustava

so if I just keep letting this go,

pa ako nastavite ovo puštati,

you can see Voyager 1 fly up like that.

možete vidjeti Voyager 1 kako leti prema gore.

And, in fact, I'm going to go back to the solar system.

Zapravo ću se vratiti u Sunčev sustav,

I'm going to go back to today, now,

vratit ću se na današnji dan

and I want to show you where Voyager 1 is.

i želim vam pokazati gdje se Voyager 1 nalazi.

Right there, above, way above the solar system,

Točno tamo, iznad, daleko iznad Sunčevog sustava,

way beyond our solar system.

mnogo dalje od našeg Sunčevog sustava.

And here's the thing. Now you know how it got there.

Tu je bit svega. Sad znate kako je dospio tamo.

Now you know why, and to me,

Sada znate zašto, a za mene je

that's the point of this program.

to bit ovog programa.

You can manipulate it yourself.

Možete sami upravljati njime.

You can fly around yourself and you can learn for yourself.

Možete sami letjeti i sami učiti.

You know, the theme today is "The World In Your Grasp."

Znate, današnja je tema "Svijet nadohvat ruke".

Well, we're trying to give you

Pa, pokušavamo vam dati

the solar system in your grasp — (Laughter) —

Sunčev sustav nadohvat ruke -- (Smijeh) --

and we hope once it's there,

i nadamo se da ćete, jednom kad iziđe,

you'll be able to learn for yourself

moći sami vidjeti

what we've done out there, and what we're about to do.

što smo ondje radili, što ćemo upravo napraviti.

And my personal dream is for kids to take this

Moj osobni san jest da djeca uzmu ovo

and explore and see the wonders out there

i istražuju i vide kakva čuda postoje

and be inspired, as I was as a kid,

i budu nadahnuta, kao što sam i ja bio kao dijete,

to pursue STEM education

da odaberu obrazovanje u znanosti, tehnologiji, inžinjerstvu ili matematici,

and to pursue a dream in space exploration.

i ostvare san o istraživanju svemira.

Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala. (Pljesak)
