00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 developments from across the cosmos
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 we'll start with the successful launch
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11 of NASA's SpaceX crew 10 Mission which
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 is now carrying four new crew members to
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16 the International Space Station we'll
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 also explore NASA's groundbreaking easy
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 Mission that's set to study the
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 mysterious electrical currents flowing
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25 around Earth's poles then we'll Venture
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27 into deep space to examine a cosmic
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30 mystery that's baffling astronomers a
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 shape-shifting Bazar that's Breaking All
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 the Rules we thought we knew about these
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 powerful objects from there we'll check
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 in on China's tiangong space station and
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40 their busy schedule of experiments and
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42 future missions and finally we'll look
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 at how Earth's newest astronomical eye
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48 the Vera ruin Observatory might help
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50 guide NASA's new horizon spacecraft to
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52 new discoveries in the distant Kyper
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 belt so let's get started with the news
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 we've all been waiting to hear in a
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 spectacular nighttime launch from NASA's
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 Kennedy Space Center in Florida spacex's
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 Falcon 9 rocket successfully lifted off
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 at 7:03 p.m. EDT on Friday carrying the
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 crew 10 Mission toward the International
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 Space Station the dragon spacecraft
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13 carried an international quartet of
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16 space Travelers NASA astronauts and mlan
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19 and Nicole AES jaxa astronaut takuya
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 onishi and roscosmos Cosmonaut kirol
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25 pesov for Commander Anne mlan this marks
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26 her second Journey to the orbital
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 Outpost while Mission pilot Nicole aers
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31 is embarking on her first space flight
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 takuyo Nishi is making his second trip
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 to the station and kol pesov is
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37 experiencing his first Venture into
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40 space the dragon spacecraft is scheduled
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 to dock autonomously with the station's
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45 Harmony module where the new arrivals
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47 will temporarily bring the station's
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 crew compliment to 11 this highlights
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 the increasingly busy nature of our
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 orbital Outpost and the growing
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56 International cooperation in space
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58 exploration during their stay aboard the
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 station the crew tend team will conduct
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 numerous scientific investigations
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05 including material flammability tests
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06 that will help inform future spacecraft
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09 design they'll also engage with students
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 worldwide through the ISS ham radio
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 program and participate in physiological
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 studies that will provide crucial data
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 for future deep space missions this
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 Mission represents the 10th crew
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 rotation under NASA's commercial crew
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 program demonstrating the success of the
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 agency's partnership with Private
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28 Industry as acting NASA administrator
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 Janet Pro noted these missions are
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32 laying the groundwork for future
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35 exploration from low earth orbit to the
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38 moon and eventually Mars the successful
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 launch of crew 10 continues the
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41 remarkable achievement of maintaining a
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44 continuous human presence in space with
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 the International Space Station now
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 having been continuously occupied for
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 more than 24 years this Mission not only
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 advances our scientific understanding
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54 but also strengthens the international
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57 bonds that make space exploration
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59 possible it also means that Butch and
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01 Sunni can finally come home and we
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03 should see them back on Earth
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05 shortly NASA's newest mission to study
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09 Earth's auroras is preparing for launch
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10 with three small But Mighty spacecraft
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12 ready to unlock the mysteries of the
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 spectacular light shows we know as the
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 northern and southern lights the
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20 electrojet Zan Imaging Explorer or easy
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22 for short represents the first dedicated
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25 mission to study auroral Electro Jets
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27 powerful electrical currents flowing
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29 high in our planet's atmosphere near the
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30 poles
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 these remarkable currents can push up to
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34 a million amps of electricity through
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37 the upper atmosphere about 65 miles
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39 above Earth's surface to put that in
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41 perspective that's enough electrical
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42 current to power hundreds of thousands
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45 of homes the mission will use three Cube
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47 SATs each about the size of a carry-on
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50 suitcase working together like pearls on
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52 a string as they orbit from pole to pole
00:03:52 --> 00:03:57 between 260 to 370 M up what makes easy
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58 particularly clever is how these
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01 satellites will work together instead of
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03 carrying propulsion systems they'll use
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05 atmospheric drag to maintain their
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08 formation carefully rotating to adjust
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10 their spacing so each spacecraft passes
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12 over the same region just minutes after
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14 the previous one this will give
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16 scientists an unprecedented look at how
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18 these electrical currents evolve over
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 time the satellites will detect these
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22 currents by observing microwave
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24 emissions from oxygen molecules about 10
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26 Mi below the electrets the currents
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28 create a magnetic fingerprint in these
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30 emissions which E's instruments are
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33 specifically designed to measure each
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34 satellite will create detailed maps of
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37 the electr jets during every orbit and
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 combining data from all three will
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42 reveal how these current systems change
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 and develop Beyond advancing our
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46 understanding of Earth's electrical
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48 environment easy will help improve our
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50 ability to predict space weather events
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52 that can affect satellites and power
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54 grids the mission is also engaging
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57 students and citizen scientists through
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59 the easy mag program Distributing
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 magnetometer kits across the United
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03 States to allow people to make their own
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05 measurements of these vast electrical
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 current systems the mission is scheduled
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10 to operate for 18 months during which
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11 time it will not only help us better
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 understand our own planet's magnetic
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 environment but also provide insights
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17 that could apply to any magnetized
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20 planet in our solar system and beyond
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22 this relatively small Mission could have
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24 big implications for our understanding
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26 of how planets interact with
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29 space next up just when astronomers
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31 thought they had blazars all figured out
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33 one peculiar Cosmic object is completely
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36 rewriting the rule book BL Lasser
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38 located about 900 million light years
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41 away in the constellation lerta has been
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42 leaving scientists scratching their
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45 heads with its unprecedented Behavior
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47 initially mistaken for just another
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49 variable star in our galaxy when it was
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53 discovered in 1929 BL Lasser turned out
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55 to be something far more exotic a
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 powerful active Galaxy shooting intense
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59 Jets of matter toward Earth these
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 objects known as bazars typically fall
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04 into neat categories based on their
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07 electromagnetic emissions but BL Lasser
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09 seems determined to break every
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 classification we throw at it recent
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15 observations between 2020 and 2023 have
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17 shown this Cosmic Rebel rapidly
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 switching between different blazar types
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21 something that should be impossible
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 according to our current understanding
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25 one moment it appears as what
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 astronomers call an HBL then suddenly
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30 transforms into an lbl before settling
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33 briefly as an IBL only to change again
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34 it's like watching a cosmic chameleon
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37 that can't make up its mind the X-ray
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39 emissions from BL Lasser have also
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41 reached record-breaking levels during
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43 this period while scientists believe
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45 they understand how blazars produce
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47 their characteristic double peaked
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 emission patterns with electrons and
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51 their synchrotron radiation responsible
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54 for the lower energy Peak the mechanism
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56 behind the rapid switching between types
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58 remains a complete mystery this bizarre
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01 behavior has sparked intense debate in
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03 the astronomical Community could BL
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 Lasser represent an entirely new class
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08 of blazar or is there some unknown
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09 physical process at work that allows it
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11 to change its emission patterns at
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14 unprecedented speeds these questions are
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16 keeping theoretical astrophysicists up
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18 at night as they struggle to explain
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20 what they're seeing the discovery
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22 challenges our fundamental understanding
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24 of how these powerful Cosmic engines
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27 operate and reminds us that the Universe
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30 still has plenty of surprises in store
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31 as one of the earliest discovered
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34 blazars continues to defy explanation
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36 it's clear that we still have much to
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38 learn about these fascinating Cosmic
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41 objects let's get an update now from
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43 another space fairing Nation China's
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45 Space Program continues to make
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46 impressive strides with their tangang
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 space station which has been
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50 continuously occupied since its
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 completion in late
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 2022 the current crew aboard the station
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58 sheno 19 is over 130 days into their
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59 six-month Mission and has been
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01 conducting groundbreaking research in
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04 orbit the three-person crew led by
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07 Commander Kai Shu alongside crew members
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09 song lingdong and Wang Housey has been
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11 particularly busy with Cutting Edge
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13 experiments they've been working
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 extensively with electroen seyram
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17 equipment to study how microgravity
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 affects visual processing and exploring
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21 how brainwave music might help
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23 astronauts maintain better cognitive
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25 control during Extended space
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29 missions Wang Hai who made history as
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31 China's first female flight engineer in
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33 space has been demonstrating The crucial
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35 exercise protocols using resistance
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38 bands that help combat the muscle and
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40 bone loss that naturally occurs in zero
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42 gravity the crew has also been pushing
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 the boundaries of human machine
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46 interaction working with an AI robot
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49 called Xiao Hong to develop more
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50 intuitive ways for astronauts to
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52 communicate with automated
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55 systems looking ahead China has
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57 ambitious plans for Chang gong in
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00 2025 the space agency cmsa has announced
00:09:00 --> 00:09:04 two crude missions sheno 20 and 21 along

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32 advancing our understanding of space
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34 they're helping pave the way for an
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 increasingly diverse and collaborative
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38 future in space
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40 exploration the outer reaches of our
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42 solar system might soon become a lot
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 less mysterious thanks to an exciting
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 collaboration between one of our most
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49 distant spacecraft and a powerful new
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51 telescope the Vera ruin Observatory set
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54 to begin operations later this year
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56 could help chart a new course for NASA's
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57 new horizon spacecraft as it Ventures
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59 through the Kyper belt
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01 New Horizons which gave us those
00:10:01 --> 00:10:05 stunning images of Pluto in 2015 is now
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08 about 61 astronomical units from Earth
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10 that's 61 times the distance between
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12 Earth and the sun while it's still
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14 functioning perfectly it needs new
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16 targets to study and that's where the
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19 Vera Rubin Observatory comes in a team
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21 of scientists led by JJ cavalar has
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24 proposed an Innovative survey using the
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26 observatory's powerful capabilities
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28 their plan involves dedicating about 30
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31 hours of of telescope time across six
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33 different nights to conduct what they're
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36 calling a deep drilling micr survey of
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37 the spacecraft's trajectory through the
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40 Kyper belt this survey could potentially
00:10:40 --> 00:10:44 identify around 700 Kyper belt objects
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46 and while finding one close enough for a
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48 direct flyby might be a long shot the
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50 spacecraft could still make valuable
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53 observations of these distant objects
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 the team expects to discover numerous
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58 binary objects and possibly even contact
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 binaries similar to aroth which New
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03 Horizons famously visited in
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05 2019 the Vera Rubin observatory's
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07 involvement could confirm recent
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09 findings suggesting the Kyper belt is
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11 more densely populated than our current
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14 models predict if the initial survey
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16 proves insufficient for finding suitable
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18 flyby targets the team is already
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20 thinking ahead to potentially using the
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23 upcoming Roman Observatory to conduct
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24 even more detailed
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26 searches this collaboration between
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 earth-based telescopes and our deep
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 space p iers represents a fascinating
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 new chapter in our exploration of the
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35 solar systems Frontier potentially
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37 revealing new secrets about these
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39 mysterious outer regions that have
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42 remained hidden from view for so
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44 long well that's it for today from the
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46 successful launch of crew1 to the
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48 International Space Station to the
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50 groundbreaking EAS Mission studying our
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52 auroras and that fascinating
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54 shapeshifting blazar that's got
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56 astronomers scratching their heads we've
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 also checked in with China's changgong
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00 Space Station and explored the exciting
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01 possibilities for New Horizons in the
