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

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 we've got an absolutely packed show for

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05 you today with some fascinating

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 developments from across the space

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 sector we'll be diving into the latest

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12 shakeup in European space cooperation

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 where Italy is making some interesting

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 moves that could reshape the continent

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 space industry I'll also bring you up to

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 speed on our colleagues up on the

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 International Space Station where two

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 NASA astronauts are taking their

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 extended stay and stride plus we'll look

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 at why blue origin had to delay the

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 debut launch of their massive new Glenn

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 rocket then we'll explore some

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35 incredible new images from Bey Columbo's

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 final flyby of mercury and wrap up with

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 a mind-blowing discovery about Jupiter's

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42 clouds that's completely changing what

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 we thought we knew about the gas giant

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46 stay with me as we journey through these

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 exciting stories in today's episode of

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 astronomy

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 daily in a significant development for

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 European space cooperation the head of

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 the European space agency has addressed

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 growing concerns about potential

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 fragment ation within the European space

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 sector this comes as Italy charts its

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 own course in rocket operations and

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 explores possible agreements with Elon

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 musk's starlink satellite Network

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 Italy's space company Avio is set to

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16 take control of Vega C rocket operations

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19 on behalf of Esa effectively moving the

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 Italian built rocket away from Europe's

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24 primary launch operator Aran espace at

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26 the same time Rome is evaluating

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27 potential Supply agreements with

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31 starlink with musk expressing enthusiasm

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 about providing Italy with what he calls

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 the most secure and advanced

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38 connectivity Esa director General Joseph

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 ashbacher is keeping a watchful eye on

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 these developments particularly the

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44 balance between National and European

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46 space activities while acknowledging

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 that space is becoming increasingly

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 strategic and important with Investments

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53 On The Rise ashbacher emphasizes the

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55 benefits of participating in European

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58 programs rather than purely National

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 ones this situation becomes even more

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03 intriguing when we consider the timing

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04 these discussions about Italy's

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06 potential role with starlink come

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 shortly after the European commission

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11 announced funding for Iris 2 their own

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 satellite constellation designed to

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 provide secure Communications for

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17 European governments and agencies

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20 looking ahead to 2025 Esa has outlined

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 ambitious launch plans despite recent

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25 setbacks their Flagship ariani 6 rocket

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27 is now scheduled for its next launch in

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 February with four more launches planned

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31 through throughout the year meanwhile

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33 the Vega SE rocket which successfully

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35 returned to flight in December after a

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38 previous failure is set to conduct four

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 launches in

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42 2025 the agency maintains that it will

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 prioritize using European launchers now

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 that they're available again this marks

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 a shift from recent years when Esa had

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 to rely on spacex's Falcon 9 Rockets

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 during gaps in European launch

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 capabilities however Esa will continue

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57 with one planned SpaceX launch the

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59 Sentinel 6B Mission which is being

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01 funded through NASA

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04 cooperation now an update from the ISS

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05 two NASA astronauts have found

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07 themselves in an unexpectedly Extended

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08 Stay aboard the International Space

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 Station but their spirits remain

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13 remarkably High Butch Wilmore and Sunni

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15 Williams who originally planned for just

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17 an 8-day Mission when they launched in

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20 June 2024 have turned what could have

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22 been a challenging situation into a

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24 testament to astronaut

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26 adaptability when asked during a phone

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 conference call earlier this week about

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30 feeling like Castaways a reference to

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 the Tom Hanks film Sunni Williams was

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36 quick to dismiss any such notion while

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38 acknowledging their desire to eventually

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40 return home to their families she

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42 emphasized their focus on the important

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44 work that still needs to be done aboard

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47 the station this professional dedication

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49 showcases the true Spirit of space

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51 exploration their extended Mission

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52 hasn't been without its share of

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55 memorable moments the astronauts have

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57 experienced several major events from

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59 their orbital perspective including the

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01 US colelection Thanksgiving and

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03 Christmas they've maintained their

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05 connection to life on Earth with Wilmore

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 even managing to participate in

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08 important moments of his daughter's

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11 final year of high school albeit from

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14 250 Mi above the station has remained

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16 well supplied with recent cargo

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18 deliveries bringing essential supplies

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21 including food water oxygen and even

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23 special items to help the crew celebrate

00:04:23 --> 00:04:27 the holidays far from being idle both

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28 astronauts have fully integrated into

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31 the station's regular crew duties taking

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 on everything from routine maintenance

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35 to complex repair work looking ahead

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 Sunni Williams is preparing for her eth

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40 spacewalk an impressive milestone in her

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43 NASA career during this upcoming Eva

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45 she'll be working with another crew

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47 member to replace critical orientation

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49 equipment on the station's exterior as

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 well as conducting repairs on various

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 instruments including a

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 telescope this continued commitment to

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57 station maintenance and scientific work

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59 demonstrates how these astronauts have

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 trans formed an unexpected situation

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03 into an opportunity for extended

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06 contribution to space

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08 exploration now an update to a story

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10 we've been following this week in space

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12 launch news blue origin has had to push

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14 back the debut launch of their

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16 impressive new Glenn rocket the

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18 postponement comes due to challenging

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20 weather conditions in the Atlantic Ocean

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22 specifically rough seas that could

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24 impact the Rocket's planned booster

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27 Landing the launch originally set for

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28 early Friday morning has been

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30 rescheduled for Sunday at 1:00 a.m.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32 eastern time from Cape Canaveral space

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35 force station in Florida this massive

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37 vehicle stands an impressive 320 fet

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40 tall and represents blue origin's first

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42 Venture into orbital class Rockets what

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45 makes new Glenn particularly interesting

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47 is its reusable first stage designed to

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49 return to Earth and land on a

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51 specialized vessel in the Atlantic The

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54 Landing ship named jacine after Jeff

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56 bezos's mother will serve as the

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58 touchdown point for these returning

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 boosters While Blue origin acknowledges

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 the ambitious nature of attempting a

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03 booster landing on their very first

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 flight they're committed to giving it

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07 their best shot this approach to

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09 reusability isn't just about technical

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 achievement it's Central to their

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14 business model each new Glenn first

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16 stage is engineered to fly at least 25

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18 times which could significantly reduce

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21 launch costs for future missions the

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 rocket already has an impressive lineup

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25 of contracted missions waiting in the

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 wings including plans to launch missions

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30 to Mars for NASA and a series of

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33 Amazon's Kyper internet satellites this

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35 makes the successful debut of new Glenn

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38 crucial not just for blue origin but for

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40 their commercial and government Partners

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42 as well should Sunday's launch attempt

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45 face additional delays blue origin has

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46 secured a launch window extending

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49 through January 16th this flexibility

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51 ensures they can wait for optimal

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53 conditions to give their new rocket the

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55 best possible chance of success in both

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57 its primary Mission and the ambitious

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00 booster recovery attempt

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02 moving on now to a space mission that's

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04 really kicking goals the Bey Columbo

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06 spacecraft has just completed a

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09 remarkable Milestone making its Sixth

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11 and final flyby of mercury before its

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13 main mission begins next year during

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15 this close encounter the spacecraft came

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18 within just 185 miles of Mercury's

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21 surface giving us some incredible new

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 views of the Solar System's smallest

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26 planet the images captured during this

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28 flyby are particularly fascinating

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30 offering us detail DET glimpses of

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 Mercury's mysterious surface features

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34 one of the most intriguing discoveries

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36 involves the planet's permanently

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39 shadowed craters despite Mercury's

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41 proximity to the sun these deep craters

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43 rank among the coldest places in our

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45 entire solar system and scientists

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48 believe they might Harbor water ice the

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50 spacecraft's monitoring cameras revealed

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 striking contrasts between Mercury's

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 dark surface and bright features that

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57 indicate recent geological activity the

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00 ne facula for instance stands out as the

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02 remnant of the largest known volcanic

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04 explosion on Mercury with a central vent

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07 spanning 25 miles in volcanic deposits

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10 extending nearly 200 mil in diameter the

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12 images also showcased Mercury's vast

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14 volcanic Plains known as the Borealis

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17 plena formed by Massive lava flows

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20 roughly 3.7 billion years ago these

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21 ancient flows created smooth regions

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23 across much of Mercury's surface later

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25 marked by wrinkles as the planet's

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28 interior cooled and contracted Within

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30 These planes we can see numerous impact

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32 craters including the massive caloris

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36 Basin which stretches over 930 M wide

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38 one particularly unexpected feature

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40 caught in the new images is a

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42 distinctive boomerang-shaped lava flow

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45 near the caloris Basin this formation

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47 connected to a deep trough presents an

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49 intriguing puzzle that scientists hope

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51 to solve when Bey Columbo begins its

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54 primary Mission the spacecraft is

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55 scheduled to enter Mercury's Orbit on

00:08:56 --> 00:08:57 November 21st

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00 2026 when it will begin in its detailed

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 investigation of these and other

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 mysteries about our Solar System's

00:09:04 --> 00:09:05 innermost

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08 planet now on to the amazing discovery

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10 of the day our understanding of

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12 Jupiter's clouds has just been

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14 completely transformed thanks to a

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16 groundbreaking collaboration between

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 amateur and professional astronomers for

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21 decades scientists believed Jupiter's

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23 visible clouds were primarily composed

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 of amonia ice however new research

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 published in the Journal of geophysical

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29 research has revealed something entire

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31 different these clouds are actually made

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34 of ammonium hydrosulfide mixed with smog

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 this fascinating Discovery began with

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38 amateur astronomer Dr Steven Hill from

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41 Colorado who demonstrated that using

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42 commercially available telescopes with

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 specialized filters could effectively

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47 measure ammonia levels and pressure at

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50 Jupiter's Cloud tops his observations

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52 revealed something unexpected these

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54 clouds were simply too deep in Jupiter's

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56 warm atmosphere to be made of ammonia

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58 ice as previously

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 thought Professor Patrick Irwin from

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02 Oxford University took this research

00:10:02 --> 00:10:05 further applying Hills methods to

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06 observations from the very large

00:10:07 --> 00:10:10 telescope in Chile using spectroscopic

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12 analysis his team confirmed that

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14 Jupiter's main Cloud deck exists in a

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16 region of higher pressure and

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18 temperature than previously believed the

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 conditions there are simply too warm for

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22 ammonia to condense into ice pointing to

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24 ammonium hydr sulfide as the primary

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27 component instead the team suggests that

00:10:27 --> 00:10:30 in Jupiter's atmosphere when ammonia

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32 Rich air rises the ammonia is either

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34 destroyed or mixed with photochemical

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37 products faster than ice can form this

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39 process explains the distinctive red and

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41 brown colors we see in Jupiter's clouds

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43 they're actually a mixture of ammonium

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46 hydrosulfide and smog like compounds

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48 created by sunlight induced chemical

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51 reactions interestingly This research

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52 method has proven so effective that it's

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 now being applied to Saturn as well

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57 where similar processes appear to be at

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59 work this discovery not only changes our

00:11:00 --> 00:11:01 fundamental understanding of Jupiter's

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03 atmosphere but also opens up new

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05 opportunities for citizen scientists to

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08 contribute to planetary research using

00:11:08 --> 00:11:09 these relatively simple techniques

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11 amateur astronomers can now track

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13 atmospheric changes across Jupiter's

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15 bands storms and even its famous Great

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17 Red

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 Spot well that wraps up another

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22 fascinating day of space exploration and

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24 Discovery from the changing landscape of

00:11:24 --> 00:11:27 European space cooperation to the

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29 resilient spirits of our astronauts on

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32 the ISS from Blue Origins careful

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34 approach to their new Glenn launch to

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36 Bey Columbo's final Rendevous with

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39 Mercury and of course that remarkable

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41 Revelation about Jupiter's clouds we've

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44 covered quite a bit of ground today I'm
