It’s hard to pin down the word escape. An escape can be the act of escaping, like an escape from prison, but an escape can also be a calming retreat, like a vacation that gets you away from the stress of everyday life. As a verb, escape also means, «to fail to experience or know.” If the humor escapes you, you don’t find the joke funny.

So this process is something that I study and it’s called atmospheric escape.

Итак, я изучаю данный процесс, который называется планетарный ветер.

So atmospheric escape is not specific to planet Earth.

Он свойственен не только Земле.

It’s part of what it means to be a planet, if you ask me, because planets, not just here on Earth but throughout the universe, can undergo atmospheric escape and the way it happens actually tells us about planets themselves.

Я бы сказала, это неотъемлемая особенность планет, потому что все планеты во Вселенной, включая Землю, подвержены планетарному ветру, характер которого рассказывает о самой планете.

And the thing here is, for the purposes of this talk and atmospheric escape, Pluto is a planet in my mind, in the same way that planets around other stars that we can’t see are also planets.

And that’s fundamentally driving atmospheric escape.

Именно она является движущей силой планетарного ветра.

The reason that fundamentally stars drive atmospheric escape from planets is because stars offer planets particles and light and heat that can cause the atmospheres to go away.

Причина существенного влияния звёзд на планетарный ветер состоит в том, что они дают планетам частицы, свет и тепло, которые могут вызвать утечку атмосферы.

And if you have enough energy and heating, which our Sun does, that gas, which is so light and only bound by gravity, it can escape into space.

Если у вас достаточно энергии и тепла, как у Солнца, этот лёгкий газ, удерживаемый лишь гравитацией, может улететь в космос.

And so this is what’s actually causing atmospheric escape here on Earth and also on other planets — that interplay between heating from the star and overcoming the force of gravity on the planet.

Именно это вызывает планетарный ветер на Земле и других планетах — взаимодействие между теплом от звезды и преодолением силы гравитации на планете.

But the Earth is not alone in undergoing atmospheric escape.

Но Земля не единственная претерпевает планетарный ветер.

Also, we see that it’s the red planet, and atmospheric escape plays a role in Mars being red.

Взглянув на изображения Марса, можно подумать, что раньше там был планетарный ветер.

And its actual job is to study atmospheric escape.

Он занимается изучением планетарного ветра.

So the fact that we not only see atmospheric escape on our own planet but we can study it elsewhere and send spacecraft allows us to learn about the past of planets but also about planets in general and Earth’s future.

По сути, мы не только видим планетарный ветер на нашей планете, но и можем изучать его в других местах, а запуск космических аппаратов позволит изучить прошлое планет, а также их будущее и будущее Земли.

But I wanted you to be aware of what’s going on, not just in the future, but atmospheric escape is happening as we speak.

Однако я хочу, чтобы вы знали, что это начнёт происходить не в будущем, планетарный ветер происходит на протяжении нашего разговора.

But as we learn about Mars or exoplanets like hot Jupiters, we find things like atmospheric escape that tell us a lot more about our planet here on Earth.
