Bonsoir à tous ! Le sujet de l’émission de ce soir est la glace. La glace, c’est un minéral que l’on connaît bien : elle est emblématique de nos calottes polaires, on skie dessus et elle est indispensable à la vie telle qu’on la connaît sous la forme d’eau. Mais si la glace est essentielle sur Terre, elle est aussi présente sur d’autres planètes et satellites, sous plein d’autres états ! Pourquoi la glace est-elle un objet d’étude si important en astrophysique ? Que peut-on apprendre de la glace dans le système solaire et au-delà ? En quoi est-elle intéressante en astrobiologie ? C’est ce que nous allons découvrir grâce Baptiste Journaux, chercheur postdoctoral en Astroglaciologie à la NASA.

Ce soir place au merveilleux, car notre invité est Patrick Baud le créateur du blog Axolot dédié aux curiosités et merveilles qui nous étonnent. Il vient ce soir nous parler de Nature secrète, un livre qu’il a écrit en collaboration avec Pierre Kerner. Un livre superbement illustré, sur la nature et les merveilleuses et insolites espèces qui nous entourent. 
Nous sommes très heureux de les accueillir ce soir, pour nous parler de cet ouvrage qui nous démontre encore une fois, s’il y en avait besoin, que la science et le beau savent coexister.
Nous sommes le mercredi 6 novembre de l’an 2019, vous êtes sur Podcast Science, bienvenue dans l’émission 390.
