Starship's Next Flight, Pulsar Secrets Unlocked, and the Birth of a New Solar System



00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 Anna: Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your daily dose

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05 of the latest cosmic happenings. I'm Anna and

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 I'm thrilled to guide you through today's

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 fascinating discoveries. We've got an

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12 exciting lineup for you. First, we'll dive

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 into the highly anticipated next flight of

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17 SpaceX's Starship, the colossal rocket making

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 headlines. Then we'll explore the astonishing

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22 secrets unveiled about a powerful rapidly

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25 spinning neutron star thanks to new X ray

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27 observations. Get ready for a cosmic first

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 as we hear about astronomers witnessing a

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 solar system being born right before their

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 eyes. And finally, we'll talk about the multi

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 million dollar auction of the largest Mars

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39 meteorite ever found on Earth that I reported

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 on yesterday. We have the auction results.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 Stay with us for all these stories and more.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46 Let's kick things off with some exciting news

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 from SpaceX as Elon Musk has announced that

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 the next starship flight, the 10th test

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 flight of this colossal rocket, is expected

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 to launch in about three weeks. If all goes

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 according to plan, this will be the fourth

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 launch for starship this year. And it's a big

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 deal because Starship is designed to be the

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 biggest and most powerful rocket ever built,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 with both its super heavy booster and ship

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13 upper stage intended for full and rapid

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 reusability. Now, Getting to Flight 10

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18 has been a bit of a bumpy ride. The ship

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20 upper stage that was originally slated for

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 this mission actually exploded on a Test

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25 stand at SpaceX's Starbase site in South

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 Texas back in June during preparations for a

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 common pre launch engine trial. SpaceX

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 quickly pinpointed the likely a failure

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 of a pressurised nitrogen tank in the ship's

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38 nosecone area. The team is now working

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 diligently to get a different ship vehicle

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43 ready for this upcoming Flight 10. It's

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 no secret that the ship upper stage has faced

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47 some challenges in recent flights since

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50 SpaceX unfortunately lost the ship vehicle on

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53 flights 7, 8 and 9, which launched in

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54 January, March and May of this year

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57 respectively. For example, on Flight 8,

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 which launched back in March, the

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02 171 foot tall ship upper stage was intended

00:02:02 --> 00:02:05 to deploy dummy Starlink satellites and then

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 perform a controlled splashdown in the Indian

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10 Ocean. However, several of

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13 ship's six Raptor engines conked out towards

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 the end of its ascent burn, causing the

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17 vehicle to tumble and SpaceX lost contact

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20 about nine minutes into the flight. It

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 presumably detonated high in the sky shortly

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25 after. This mirrored what happened on Flight

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28 7, where the ship was also lost at a similar

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 point in the mission. The anomaly on Flight 7

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33 was later traced to a harmonic

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 response that was several times stronger in

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38 flight than observed during testing, leading

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40 to increased stress on propulsion system

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 hardware, propellant leaks and sustained

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 fires. For Flight 8, SpaceX

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47 had already taken steps to minimise the

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49 chances of recurrence, including a longer

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52 static fire test and hardware changes.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55 In contrast to the ship, the super heavy

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56 booster has shown a more consistent

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59 performance. On Flight 7 and Flight

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01 8, the booster successfully returned to

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04 Starbase and was spectacularly caught by the

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 launch tower's chopstick arms.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09 This was a jaw dropping demonstration of a

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11 technique that SpaceX is refining.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 Flight 9 even featured the first ever reuse

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 of a super heavy booster, putting the Flight

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20 7 booster back into action. Though on

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22 Flight 9, SpaceX didn't attempt to catch the

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24 booster again. It broke apart over the Gulf

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27 of Mexico shortly after initiating a landing

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30 burn. Over the long haul, SpaceX

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 plans to employ this chopstick recovery

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35 strategy for both super Heavy and ship.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37 This approach is key to making the reuse of

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40 each stage more efficient, with the ambitious

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42 goal of flying Starship multiple times per

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45 day. The ultimate vision, as articulated by

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48 Elon Musk, is that Starship's combination of

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51 immense power and full reusability will make

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54 Mars settlement economically feasible. The

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55 company has been steadily increasing its

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58 flight cadence, having flown in a fully

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00 stacked configuration for the first time in

00:04:00 --> 00:04:03 April of 2023, followed by another

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06 two flights in 2024 and already

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 four so far this year. We should expect

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11 another significant boost in cadence, as

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13 SpaceX has already requested approval for an

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16 astounding 25 Starship launches from Starbase

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19 this year, so some quick turnarounds may be

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20 required if they wish to still reach that

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 goal. And as of next year, SpaceX are

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26 looking to complete some 120 launches

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29 a year. It's so certainly a dynamic time in

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31 the world of space exploration, and we'll

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34 keep a close eye on Starship's next giant

00:04:34 --> 00:04:34 leap.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 Next up, we're diving into a groundbreaking

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40 discovery about a powerful, rapidly spinning

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42 neutron star known as PSR

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 J1023

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 0038, or

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48 J1023 for short.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50 Astronomers have uncovered a major secret

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52 about this pulsar, revealing that the

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55 radiation it emits is primarily driven by

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58 the impact of its intense particle

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01 winds, rather than the material it strips

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03 away from its companion star. This is a

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06 significant finding that sheds new light on

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08 these fascinating cosmic objects.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11 J1023 is truly a marvel.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14 Located about 4 light years from Earth,

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17 it's part of a binary system where a dead

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19 star or neutron star spins an

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22 astounding 600 times per second while

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24 circling a low mass companion star that it

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27 feeds upon. Its rapid rotation

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29 categorises it as a millisecond pulsar.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32 What makes J1023 even more special

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35 is its status as a transitional millisecond

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38 pulsar, a rare subclass because it clearly

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41 shifts between an active state, where it's

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42 accreting material and blasting out

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45 radiation, and a more dormant state where it

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47 behaves like a standard pulsar emitting radio

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50 waves. This makes J1023

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52 an invaluable cosmic laboratory for

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55 scientists. Traditionally, when a neutron

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 star feeds on its companion, the stripped

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00 matter forms an accretion disc that swirls

00:06:00 --> 00:06:03 around the dead star, gradually feeding it

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 while emitting powerful radiation across the

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08 electromagnetic spectrum. However,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10 this new research tells a different story for

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13 J1023. The team used an

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14 impressive array of instruments for this

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17 study. NASA's Imaging X Ray Polarimetry

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20 Explorer, known as IXP, along with the

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22 European Southern Observatory's Very Large

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25 Telescope in Chile and the Carl G Jansky

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28 Very Large Array in New Mexico. This was

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31 the first survey of a binary X ray source

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33 observed across the X ray, optical and

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36 radio bands of the electromagnetic spectrum,

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38 allowing them to precisely determine the

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41 polarisation of the radiation coming from

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44 this pulsar. What they found

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47 was particularly exciting. Ixpe

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 observed that a remarkable 12% of the x rays

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52 from J1023 were polarised, which

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 is the highest level of polarisation ever

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57 seen from such a binary star system. While

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59 the radio waves and optical light emissions

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03 showed lower polarizations of 2% and 1%

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 respectively, the optical polarisation was

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08 oriented in the same direction as the X ray

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11 polarisation. This alignment strongly

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13 suggests a, uh, common mechanism behind both

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16 phenomena. These findings confirm an earlier

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18 theory. The observed polarised emissions from

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21 binary systems like J1023

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24 are generated when the pulsar's powerful

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26 winds. Streams of high energy charged

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29 particles flowing from the dead star strike

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30 the matter in the surrounding accretion, uh,

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 discs. This observation, though

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 extremely challenging due to the low

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37 intensity of the X ray flux, was made

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40 possible by IXPE's exceptional sensitivity.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43 This research could finally help scientists

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45 unlock the secrets of what truly powers

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47 pulsars, offering us a clearer picture of

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49 these incredible objects

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 moving from distant pulsars.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 Let's turn our attention to something

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57 incredibly exciting that brings us closer to

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00 understanding our own origins. For the first

00:08:00 --> 00:08:03 time ever, scientists have witnessed the very

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05 earliest stages of planet formation around a

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 baby star roughly 1

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10 light years away. This groundbreaking

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13 discovery means astronomers actually watched

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 hot minerals crystallise into solid

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17 particles, effectively catching a planetary

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19 system at the precise, um, moment when

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21 planets begin to take shape. It's like having

00:08:21 --> 00:08:24 a cosmic time machine, offering an

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26 unprecedented glimpse into the birth of our

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29 own solar system. This breakthrough came from

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31 studying a young star named Hops315,

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34 which is encircled by a swirling disc of gas

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37 and dust called a protoplanetary disc.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:40 Using the incredible power of the James Webb

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41 Space Telescope and the Atacama Large

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44 Millimetre Array, or ALMA, astronomers

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 detected silicon monoxide, or SiO,

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49 as it transitioned from gas into solid

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51 crystalline minerals. This is considered the

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54 absolutely crucial first step in planet

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56 formation. Melissa McClure, the lead author

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58 from Leiden University of highlighted the

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00 significance, stating that for the first time

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03 they've identified the earliest moment when

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05 planet formation is initiated around a star

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08 other than our Sun. This finding provides an

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11 unparalleled window into how rocky planets

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 like Earth actually come into existence.

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16 It's fascinating to consider that in our own

00:09:16 --> 00:09:19 solar system, similar crystalline minerals

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21 are found trapped in ancient meteorites,

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23 primordial rocks that scientists used to date

00:09:23 --> 00:09:26 the beginning of our solar system. These

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28 meteorites contain the very same silicon

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31 monoxide compounds now being observed around

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34 hops 315, albeit in their fully

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 solidified state. Merrill Van't Hoff from

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39 Purdue University eloquently described their

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 discovery as a picture of the baby solar

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44 system, noting that we are truly

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 seeing a system that looks like what our

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 solar system looked like when it was just

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51 beginning to form. The research team

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54 pinpointed that this mineral formation is

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55 occurring in a region equivalent to the

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58 location of our own asteroid asteroid belt

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 around the sun. This isn't a coincidence.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03 It's exactly where astronomers would expect

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06 to find the building blocks of rocky

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09 planets. The process itself is quite elegant.

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11 Close to young stars, the intense heat keeps

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14 silicon monoxide in a gaseous state. But as

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15 temperatures drop with increasing distance

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18 from the star, this gas starts to condense

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21 into solid crystals. These tiny particles

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23 then begin to stick together, gradually

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25 growing larger, until they form kilometre

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28 sized planetesimals, which are

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30 essentially the seeds that will eventually

00:10:30 --> 00:10:33 become full fledged planets. Edwin

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35 Bergen, a UH co author from the University of

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38 Michigan, emphasised that this process has

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40 never been seen before in a protoplanetary

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43 disc or anywhere else outside of our solar

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46 system. The detection required the combined

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48 might of two of astronomy's most powerful

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51 tools. The James Webb Space Telescope

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53 initially identified the chemical signatures

00:10:53 --> 00:10:56 of these crystalline minerals and then

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58 ALMA precisely pinpointed their exact

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01 location within the protoplanetary disc,

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04 revealing that they were forming in a narrow

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07 ring around the star. The observations not

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09 only showed gaseous silicon monoxide actively

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12 condensing into solid particles, but also

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 revealed carbon monoxide streaming away from

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17 the star in a butterfly shaped wind, while

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 silicon monoxide jets beamed outward in

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22 narrow streams. This discovery

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25 transforms HOPS 315 into a natural

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27 laboratory for studying planetary formation.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 Logan Francis, a UH postdoctoral researcher

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 at Leiden University, pointed out that they

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35 are literally seeing these minerals at the

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37 same location in this extrasolar system as

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40 where we find them in asteroids in our own

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42 solar system. The findings strongly suggest

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45 that planet formation follows universal

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 patterns across the galaxy. The same physical

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50 processes that created Earth and other rocky

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52 planets in our solar system are actively

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55 occurring around distant stars, providing

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57 astronomers with living examples of planetary

00:11:57 --> 00:12:00 birth. This opens up exciting new

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02 possibilities for understanding how common

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04 Earth like planets might be throughout the

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06 universe, all while offering direct

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08 observational evidence of the processes that

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11 shaped our cosmic neighbourhood 4.6 billion

00:12:11 --> 00:12:12 years ago.

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15 From the birth of solar systems to more

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17 tangible relics, let's talk about something

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20 incredibly rare that just changed hands for a

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22 hefty sum. As I reported

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25 yesterday, the largest Mars meteorite ever

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28 found on Earth was auctioned off at Sotheby's

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30 in New York city. This jagged

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33 54 pound chunk of the red planet formerly

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35 known as NWA 16788

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38 sold for an astonishing $4.3 million.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41 Interestingly, the bidding war wasn't quite

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44 as fervent as some expected, even though its

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46 starting price was already set at $2 million.

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49 Still, the final sale price surpassed the

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52 initial maximum estimate of $4 million, with

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54 extra fees pushing the total lot price to

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57 around $5.3 million. Cassandra Hatton,

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59 the vice chairman of science and natural

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02 history at Sotheby's, highlighted that NWA

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05 16788 isn't just notable for its

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08 size, being about 70% larger than the

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11 next biggest Mars meteorite on Earth, but

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14 also for its appearance. She noted that it

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16 literally looks just like the surface of the

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19 Red Planet, distinguishing it from smaller,

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21 less striking Martian meteorites that often

00:13:21 --> 00:13:24 sell for tens of thousands. The

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26 identity of the new owner of this unique

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29 piece of Mars remains private, as buyers

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31 often choose to stay anonymous for various

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34 reasons, including safety or a desire to be

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36 an anonymous donor to a museum. This

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39 Mars rock was just one of many rare items

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41 sold at the auction, which also included a

00:13:41 --> 00:13:44 juvenile ceratosaurus skeleton for $26

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46 million and a Tyrannosaurus rex foot

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49 for 1.4 million. The auctioning of

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52 scientific objects often sparks debate. While

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54 some argue such items should be freely

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56 donated to scientific laboratories or public

00:13:56 --> 00:13:59 spaces, Hatton suggests that attaching

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01 monetary value can incentivize collectors to

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03 properly care for them perhaps even better

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06 than underfunded museums. She also points out

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08 that many collectors do end up donating their

00:14:08 --> 00:14:11 purchases or allowing them to be displayed,

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13 sometimes even providing additional funds for

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15 the institution to care for the objects or

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17 support postdoctoral researchers

00:14:18 --> 00:14:21 to verify its authenticity. A small piece of

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23 NWA 16788

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27 was indeed broken off and sent to a lab for

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29 analysis, with the findings published in the

00:14:29 --> 00:14:32 Meteoritical Bulletin making data available

00:14:32 --> 00:14:33 for scientists.

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36 And that brings us to the end of another

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39 fascinating episode of Astronomy Daily.
