00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 welcome to astronomy daily I'm Anna and

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03 today we have a packed show covering

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05 some of the most fascinating

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 developments in space exploration and

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 astronomy we'll be checking in with NASA

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunni

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 Williams aboard the International Space

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 Station where they've been experiencing

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18 an unexpectedly Extended Stay we'll hear

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 directly from Sunni about what it's like

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 living in space for so long including

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 her surprising Revelation about

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 forgetting how to walk we'll also dive

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 into some incredible discoveries from

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29 asteroid benu that have scientists

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 rethink thinking how life might have

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 emerged in our solar system plus we've

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 got an intriguing new study about how

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38 super massive black holes prepare their

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40 Cosmic meals and we'll take a look at

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43 some spectacular geyser activity on

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45 Mars stay with us for all this and the

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 latest updates from the European Space

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50 Agency conference day two a lot to cover

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52 so let's get into

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 it the situation aboard the

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 International Space Station has taken an

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 interesting turn for NASA astronauts

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 Butch Wilmore and Sunni William

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 what was initially planned as an 8-day

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 test mission has stretched into a

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 7-month stay following concerns about

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 their original return vehicle Boeing

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 Starliner spacecraft NASA made the

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 decision back in August to switch their

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17 return plans to a SpaceX crew Dragon

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 capsule determining that the Starliner

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 posed too much risk the spacecraft that

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 will bring them home is already docked

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 to the station having arrived with the

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27 crew 9 mission in September with empty

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30 seats specifically reserved for Wilmore

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 and Williams their return Journey

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 originally scheduled for February has

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 now been pushed to late March SpaceX

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38 requested additional time to complete

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 processing of a new crew Dragon capsule

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41 that will replace theirs for the

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 upcoming crew 10 Mission this scheduling

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46 adjustment is part of NASA's carefully

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 coordinated space station operations

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 where timing is crucial to maintain

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53 proper Staffing levels the Extended Stay

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55 has recently attracted attention from

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 various quarters including president

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 Donald Trump who made an unusual

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02 intervention into NASA's operations by

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 publicly calling on SpaceX to return the

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06 astronauts as soon as

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09 possible however any changes to the

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 current schedule could potentially leave

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 the station's us contingent underst

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 staffed complicating the maintenance of

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 critical systems aboard the ISS despite

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 the extended Mission both Wilmore and

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 Williams remain in good health and

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 continue their scientific research

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 aboard the station they're part of a

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28 seven-person crew currently orbiting

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 Earth working alongside their

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31 International colleagues to maintain the

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35 Space Station's operations and conduct

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 valuable scientific experiments while

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39 their stay has been considerably longer

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42 than planned the astronauts have adapted

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 to the situation maintaining their

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 professional duties while awaiting their

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 eventual return to Earth aboard the

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 SpaceX vessel still Elon says he's

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 bringing them back soon so I guess we'll

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 have to wait and see how this all plays

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58 out while we're talking about Sunni

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59 Massachusetts native Sunni Williams

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01 recently shared some fascinating

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03 insights about her unexpectedly Extended

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06 Stay aboard the International Space

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09 Station after nearly 7 months in orbit

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10 she's experiencing some unique

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13 adjustments to life in microgravity

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15 during a recent video call with students

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17 from her Alma moer Needum high school

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 she revealed that she's actually trying

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 to remember what it feels like to walk

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23 as Williams explained the sensation of

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25 being in space feels more like swimming

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28 or flying she hasn't walked sat down or

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 even laid down in months there's simply

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33 no need to in the weightless environment

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35 of the space station you can just float

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37 wherever you are and close your eyes to

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39 rest the extended Mission has also

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41 changed how williams maintains

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 connections with her loved ones back on

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46 Earth she's developed a particularly

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 close routine with her aging mother

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50 making it a point to check in with her

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53 almost daily these frequent calls have

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54 created a different kind of relationship

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56 than what they had initially planned for

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59 what was supposed to be a brief Mission

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00 despite being physically separated from

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 Earth by hundreds of miles Williams

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 doesn't feel isolated her busy schedule

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 keeps her thoroughly engaged and modern

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09 communication technology allows her to

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12 stay connected with people back home the

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13 ability to maintain these connections

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15 has helped make the unexpected extension

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 of her Mission more

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18 manageable when asked about the

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21 mission's extension Williams admitted it

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23 came as quite a shock while she and her

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 crewmate Butch Wilmore had anticipated

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 their test flight might last longer than

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29 the planned 8 days they hadn't expected

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31 to stay of this length however they've

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34 adapted to the situation maintaining

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35 their professional duties while making

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 the most of this unique opportunity to

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 spend additional time conducting

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42 research and experiments in space in

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43 other news

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46 today in a remarkable development from

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48 NASA's Osiris Rex Mission scientists

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50 studying the samples returned from

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53 asteroid benu have made an extraordinary

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 Discovery the asteroid grains contain

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57 such an abundance of life's chemical

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59 building blocks that researchers are now

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02 pondering a fascinating new question why

00:05:02 --> 00:05:05 didn't life emerge on benu itself

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 billions of years ago when conditions

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09 seemed perfect for it the samples

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 revealed more than 10 different

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14 organic chemicals including 14 of the 20

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17 amino acids used by earth-based life to

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20 create proteins even more intriguingly

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22 scientists found all five of the nucleo

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25 bases that are DNA and RNA used to

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28 encode genetic information the samples

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29 also contain significant amounts of of

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32 ammonia and formaly two chemicals that

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34 can combine to form complex molecules

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37 essential for Life evidence suggests

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39 that Ben's parent body once had liquid

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42 water in its interior salt crystals

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44 found in the samples similar to those in

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46 Dry Lake beds on Earth indicate the

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49 presence of ancient Briny fluids rich in

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51 bioessential elements like phosphorus

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54 and sulfur rather than surface Lakes

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56 scientists believe the asteroid had

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58 something more akin to a muddy surface

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01 with pockets of fluid underneath while

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02 these findings don't suggest that life

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05 ever existed on benu careful examination

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07 revealed no cellular structures or

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10 chemical fossils they do support an

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12 important theory about how life might

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14 have emerged on Earth the evidence

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16 suggests that asteroids like benu could

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18 have been among the cosmic delivery

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20 services that brought water and life's

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22 chemical building blocks to our young

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24 Planet as well as to other worlds like

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27 Mars and Europa remarkably these

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29 findings come from analyzing just 30% of

00:06:29 --> 00:06:34 the 120 g sample returned by Osiris Rex

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35 the remainder is being carefully

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39 preserved including 7.5 G that will be

00:06:39 --> 00:06:43 stored atus 80° C for the next 50 years

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45 waiting for future scientists with even

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47 more Advanced Analytical techniques to

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 unlock its Secrets as one researcher

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51 noted we're just scratching the surface

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53 of what these samples might tell us

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55 about the chemical foundations of life

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56 in our solar

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59 system now you know I love a good black

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00 hole store

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02 well here's today's just as we're

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03 careful to blow on hot food before

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 eating it it seems black holes have

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07 their own way of cooling down their

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10 Cosmic meals new research using NASA's

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13 Chandra x-ray telescope and the very

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15 large telescope has revealed fascinating

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 details about how super massive black

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20 holes prepare the matter they consume

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22 these Cosmic Giants which can weigh

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25 billions of times more than our sun

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27 launch powerful jets that strike the hot

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30 gas between galaxies and Galaxy clusters

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 when these Jets collide with the hot gas

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 they create large cavities and Trigger

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37 the formation of intricate filamentary

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39 structures made of both hot ionized gas

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42 and cooler gas this process acts like a

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 cosmic cooling system the cooler gas

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46 eventually falls back toward the center

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49 of the Galaxy cluster where it feeds the

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51 super massive black hole this feeding

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 process then triggers more outbursts

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56 creating a self-sustaining cycle it's as

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59 if the black hole is preparing its own

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02 ous Buffet cooling down each serving

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03 before

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05 consumption the scientists found clear

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07 evidence of a connection between the

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10 brightness of both hot gas filaments and

00:08:10 --> 00:08:11 warm gas

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13 tendrils this relationship provides the

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16 first concrete proof of how black holes

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18 regulate their feeding process similar

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 to the gaseous Tails seen in what

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 astronomers call jellyfish

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 galaxies but this discovery has

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27 implications Beyond just black hole

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28 feeding

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30 mechanisms these cool filaments of gas

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32 are thought to provide the essential

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34 ingredients for new Star formation this

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36 means the relationship between hot and

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39 cool gas could be fundamental to both

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41 Galaxy growth and super massive black

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44 hole development revealing a complex

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46 Cosmic dance that shapes the evolution

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47 of our

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49 universe the research team made these

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51 discoveries using Innovative techniques

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53 that allowed them to distinguish hot

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55 filaments from other structures

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57 including the massive cavities carved

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00 out by black hole jets in vast Hot Gas

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 clouds this new understanding of how

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04 black holes prepare and consume their

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07 meals is helping us better comprehend

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09 the complex mechanisms that drive Galaxy

00:09:09 --> 00:09:11 formation and

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 evolution now let's take a Journey to

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16 Mars South polar region where an

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 extraordinary seasonal display is

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21 currently underway recent observations

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23 from NASA's Mars reconnaissance Orbiter

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 have captured a spectacular phenomenon

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28 that occurs every Martian spring natural

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 geysers erupting from the planet's

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33 surface during the harsh Martian winter

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35 a thick blanket of carbon dioxide ice

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 accumulates across the polar region as

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 spring arrives and the sun climbs higher

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42 in the sky something remarkable begins

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 to happen the sunlight penetrates

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 through this transparent ice layer and

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 gets absorbed at its base initiating a

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51 fascinating process the warming sunlight

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52 causes the bottom layer of ice to

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55 transform directly from solid to gas

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58 bypassing the liquid state entirely as

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 pressure builds beneath the ice sheet

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02 the carbon dioxide gas searches for

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04 Escape Routes through any weaknesses in

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06 the Frozen surface when it finds these

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08 weak points it erupts in dramatic

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11 fashion sending plumes of gas and dust

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13 shooting upward in geyser-like

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15 formations these eruptions aren't your

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17 typical Earthbound geysers they're

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20 unique Martian phenomena captured in

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22 stunning detail by the high- rice camera

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24 aboard the Mars reconnaissance Orbiter

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26 this powerful instrument can photograph

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28 vast areas of the Martian terrain while

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31 still detecting features as small as a

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33 kitchen table giving us an unprecedented

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36 view of these seasonal displays this

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39 annual cycle of freezing and sublimation

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41 creates an everchanging landscape in

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43 Mars's polar regions reminding us that

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46 despite its cold desert-like appearance

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49 Mars remains a dynamically active World

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51 these geysers represent one of the most

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53 visible and dramatic examples of the

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 ongoing seasonal changes that continue

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58 to shape the red planet's

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 surface in major developments from the

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02 European space sector the European space

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04 agency has announced several

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 groundbreaking initiatives during day

00:11:06 --> 00:11:10 two of the European space conference a

00:11:10 --> 00:11:11 significant Milestone was reached with

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13 the signing of a launch agreement for

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15 the Plato Mission an ambitious project

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17 designed to search for potentially

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20 habitable planets around sun-like Stars

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22 the mission will launch aboard an arani

00:11:22 --> 00:11:26 62 rocket from French Guana in late 2026

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 marking the first science mission to fly

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 on the new new ariani 6 launch system

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34 Plato will be positioned at the sunar

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36 lrange point L2 where it will study

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39 thousands of exoplanets in unprecedented

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41 detail with particular focus on

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44 earthlike Worlds the conference also saw

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45 the establishment of important new

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 Partnerships including a significant

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49 agreement between the European Union and

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52 African nations the African EU space

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54 partnership program represents a major

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56 step forward in International Space

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 cooperation focusing on using Earth

00:11:58 --> 00:11:59 observation technology ology for

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01 sustainable development across multiple

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04 continents in the quantum technology

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06 sphere progress continues with the

00:12:06 --> 00:12:09 advancement of Euro qci an Innovative

00:12:09 --> 00:12:10 project aimed at creating a Quantum

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12 communication Network across the

00:12:12 --> 00:12:15 European Union this network will utilize

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17 both fiber and satellite links and by

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20 2026 it will be integrated with Iris 2

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23 Europe's new secure satellite

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25 constellation European commissioner for

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27 defense and space emphasized the vital

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29 importance of maintaining a strong

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31 European presence in space noting that

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33 the continent space capabilities serve

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36 not only European interests but benefit

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38 all of humanity these developments

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40 reflect Europe's growing commitment to

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42 remaining at the Forefront of space
