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

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 to be bringing you today's fascinating

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07 Roundup of space and astronomy news

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 we've got an absolutely packed show

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 ahead with stories that span from

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 ambitious new European space Ventures to

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 spectacular celestial events and

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18 groundbreaking scientific discoveries

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 today we'll explore how Europe's

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 Aerospace Giants are teaming up to

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 challenge starlink witness a remarkable

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 asteroid spectacle that Lit Up Russian

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 skies and learn about an Innovative

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 mission to create artificial eclipses in

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 space we'll also delve into new research

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37 about the origins of Earth's oceans

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 discover how AI could help future Mars

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 astronauts and Marvel at Hubble's

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 decades long study of a beautiful

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 distant Galaxy these stories showcase

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 just how Dynamic and exciting the field

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50 of space exploration continues to be so

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 let's Dive Right In in what could be a

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 major shakeup for the satellite

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 Communications industry Europe's leading

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 aerospace companies are joining forces

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 to take on Elon musk's starlink under

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 the code name project bromo named after

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 an Indonesian volcano Aerospace Giants

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11 Airbus thales and Leonardo are exploring

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 plans to establish a new Standalone

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 European satellite Venture this

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16 ambitious initiative aims to create a

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 European satellite Champion modeled

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21 after the successful missil maker mbda

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 which is jointly owned by several

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 European Defense companies the proposed

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26 structure would combine the satellite

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 assets of these major players rather

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 than having one partner acquire assets

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 from the others the timing of this

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 Venture is particularly significant as

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37 Europe's traditional satellite makers

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 have been struggling to adapt to the

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 rapid changes in the industry while

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 they've historically focused on complex

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46 spacecraft in geostationary orbit the

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 market has been disrupted by the arrival

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 of Cheaper smaller satellites in low

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 earth orbit a domain where starlink has

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57 established a commanding presence the

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58 project comes amid broader restructuring

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01 efforts in Europe's space sector Airbus

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03 has already announced plans to cut up to

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 2 jobs in its defense and space

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 division while thees is in discussions

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11 about reducing 1 space related

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 positions however industry sources

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 emphasize that project bromo is separate

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17 from these immediate cost cutting

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19 measures and represents a long-term

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22 strategic initiative while still in its

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 early stages these talks represent the

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 most serious attempt yet to consolidate

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28 Europe's satellite industry after

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 Decades of fragmentation

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33 if successful this new Venture could

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 finally give Europe the scale and

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 capabilities needed to compete

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39 effectively in the rapidly evolving

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40 global satellite

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43 Market a spectacular Celestial show lit

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 up the Skies over Russia's remote

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48 yakutia region early Wednesday morning

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50 as an asteroid made its dramatic

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52 entrance into Earth's atmosphere what

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55 makes this event particularly remarkable

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57 is that astronomers spotted and tracked

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59 this Cosmic visitor a full 12 hours

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02 before it arrival a testament to how far

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04 our asteroid detection capabilities have

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07 come the European Space Agency confirmed

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10 that the asteroid measured about 70 CM

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12 across roughly the size of a small car

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 tire while that might not sound

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 particularly large it was enough to

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 create an impressive Fireball that

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20 caught the attention of residents in the

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23 olik Minsk and lens districts who

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25 reported seeing what looked like a

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27 comet's tail streaking across the night

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30 sky followed by a brilliant Flash

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 what's particularly impressive about

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34 this event is the Precision with which

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 scientists predicted its arrival thanks

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38 to observations from astronomers

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 worldwide the alert system was able to

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 predict the impact time within just 10

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46 seconds of accuracy the asteroid entered

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 Earth's atmosphere at precisely 1:15

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51 a.m. local time exactly when scientists

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54 had calculated it would this kind of

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55 accurate prediction and tracking

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57 represents a significant achievement in

00:03:57 --> 00:04:00 our planetary defense capabilities

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 while this particular asteroid was too

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04 small to pose any threat burning up

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06 harmlessly in the atmosphere as expected

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 the incident demonstrates how

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10 effectively we can now Monitor and track

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12 incoming space objects the emergencies

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14 Ministry in yakutia confirmed that no

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16 damage was reported though they had

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18 placed all official bodies on alert as a

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21 precautionary measure this event serves

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23 as a perfect real world test of our

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 early warning systems and international

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 cooperation in tracking near Earth

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29 objects the ability to spot even

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31 relatively small asteroids hours before

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 impact track their trajectory with

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35 precision and accurately predict their

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 arrival time shows just how far we've

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 come in protecting our planet from

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40 potential Cosmic

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44 threats next up the European Space

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 Agency is embarking on an extraordinary

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47 new mission that will create artificial

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50 solar eclipses in Space the proba 3

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52 mission set to launch from India's

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55 sadish Dawan Space Center represents a

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57 groundbreaking achievement in Precision

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00 spacecraft control and solar observation

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02 at the heart of this $210 million

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 Mission are two satellites that will

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 perform an intricate orbital dance these

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09 spacecraft will maintain an incredibly

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 precise formation positioning themselves

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15 just 150 M apart with accuracy down to a

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18 few millimet think about that level of

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20 precision it's like perfectly parallel

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22 parking two cars in New York and Los

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24 Angeles without being off by more than

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26 the thickness of a credit card what

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 makes this Mission truly revolutionary

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29 is how these satellites will work

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31 together one spacecraft known as the

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34 ulter will position itself to block out

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36 the sun's bright dis while the second

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39 satellite the coronagraph will study the

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41 sun's mysterious outer atmosphere or

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44 Corona this setup will effectively

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46 create an artificial solar eclipse that

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49 can last for 6 hours during each orbit

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50 something that's impossible to achieve

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53 from Earth where natural eclipses only

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55 last a few minutes the mission will help

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 solve some of our biggest solar

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59 Mysteries including why the corona is

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00 mysterious ly hundreds of times hotter

00:06:00 --> 00:06:03 than the sun's surface and how the solar

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 wind achieves such incredible speeds but

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07 perhaps even more importantly this

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09 Mission will prove out formation flying

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 technologies that could revolutionize

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12 future space

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14 missions this demonstration opens up

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16 exciting possibilities for future space

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19 missions imagine large-scale orbital

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21 observatories or satellite servicing

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 missions built from multiple spacecraft

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26 working in Perfect Harmony the proba 3

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28 mission isn't just about studying the

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30 sun it's about pushing the boundaries of

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33 what's possible in space exploration and

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34 Paving the way for the next generation

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36 of space

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38 technology a fascinating new study has

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41 reopened the age-old question about

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43 where Earth's water came from and the

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45 answer might be written in the stars or

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48 more specifically in comets scientists

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50 have discovered that water found on

00:06:50 --> 00:06:54 Comet 67p shares remarkable similarities

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56 with the water in Earth's oceans

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58 challenging our previous understanding

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00 of how our planet became the Blue Marble

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03 we know today while we've long known

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 that Earth wasn't always the water- rich

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07 world it is now the exact source of our

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10 oceans has remained a mystery much of

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11 the water present during Earth's

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14 formation would have vaporized due to

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17 our proximity to the sun's intense Heat

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18 this led scientists to look elsewhere

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20 for the source of our life-giving oceans

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22 the key to this discovery lies in

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24 something called the duum to hydrogen

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26 ratio essentially a molecular

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28 fingerprint that helps scientists Trace

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30 water's origin across acoss the solar

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 system dyum a heavier version of

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 hydrogen is more commonly found in

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37 objects that formed farther from the Sun

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40 like comets by comparing these ratios in

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43 different celestial bodies scientists

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45 can piece together the cosmic history of

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47 water what makes this new research

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49 particularly intriguing is how it

00:07:49 --> 00:07:52 addresses previous contradictions in our

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 understanding earlier measurements of

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57 comet 67p seemed to rule out Jupiter

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00 family comets as potten water sources

00:08:00 --> 00:08:03 for Earth showing dyum levels three

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05 times higher than our oceans however

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07 this new study reveals that these

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09 measurements might have been skewed by

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10 the presence of dust in the comet's

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13 atmosphere the research team found that

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14 when water ice attaches to dust

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17 particles in a comet's coma the fuzzy

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19 atmosphere surrounding its nucleus it

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 can create misleading readings when they

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 accounted for this dust effect and

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26 measured the water farther from the

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28 comet's surface they found a much closer

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30 match to Earth Earth's Oceanic water

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33 signature this discovery suggests that

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36 comets like 67p could indeed have played

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38 a significant role in delivering water

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40 to our early Planet during the Solar

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42 System's tumultuous youth this

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 Revelation not only helps us better

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46 understand our own planet's history but

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48 also has important implications for how

00:08:48 --> 00:08:52 we study comets and interpret their data

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54 in our ongoing quest to understand the

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56 origins of our Cosmic

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58 neighborhood now here's a wild idea but

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59 one that makes sense

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01 space exploration is about to get a

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03 major upgrade with artificial

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05 intelligence stepping in as the ultimate

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08 Cosmic co-pilot researchers at the

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10 German Aerospace Center are developing

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12 sophisticated AI assistance specifically

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14 designed to support astronauts on long

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16 duration missions particularly to Mars

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 where communication delays with Earth

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21 can stretch up to 24 minutes each way

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23 these AI systems built upon the Mars

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 exploration Telemetry driven information

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28 system or meus are being enhanced to

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31 help astronauts make critical decisions

00:09:31 --> 00:09:32 without waiting for instructions from

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35 Mission Control think of it as having a

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 knowledgeable companion who can

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 instantly access and interpret vast

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 amounts of mission data procedures and

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44 sensor readings in real time what makes

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 this system particularly Innovative is

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 its combination of different

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50 Technologies it uses knowledge graphs to

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52 organize and connect complex Mission

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54 information augmented reality to display

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55 crucial data right in front of

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58 astronauts eyes and natural language

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59 processing to enable simple voice

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02 interactions the system can even verify

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04 its own responses against stored Mission

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06 data ensuring reliability in critical

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08 situations this isn't just about

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11 convenience it's about survival when

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12 you're millions of miles from Earth

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14 waiting 48 minutes for a roundtrip

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15 communication about an emergency

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18 situation simply isn't an option the AI

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 assistant can help astronauts

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22 troubleshoot problems manage complex

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25 procedures and make informed decisions

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27 independently current testing of these

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29 systems is already underway with

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31 researchers collaborating with the MIT

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34 media lab space exploration initiative

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36 plans are in place to work with

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38 astronauts at the European astronaut

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40 Center next year moving us closer to a

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42 future where AI becomes an indispensable

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 crew member on Humanity's Journey to the

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47 Stars the development builds upon

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50 existing AI systems already proving

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52 their worth on the International Space

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55 Station where robotic assistants named

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58 Honey Queen and Bumble help astronauts

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 with daily tasks

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02 these early applications are Paving the

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04 way for more sophisticated AI support

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 systems that will be crucial for the

00:11:06 --> 00:11:09 challenges of deep space

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11 exploration let me share with you one of

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13 the most remarkable examples of

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15 scientific patience and dedication in

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17 astronomy the Hubble Space Telescope has

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 been observing a fascinating Galaxy

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22 called ugc

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25 100043 capturing its Evolution through

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27 images taken an incredible 23 years

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30 apart located 150 million light years

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33 from Earth this spiral galaxy appears to

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35 us as a striking thin line across the

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38 cosmos when viewed from our perspective

00:11:38 --> 00:11:39 what makes these observations

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41 particularly special is how they combine

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44 data from both the year 2 and 2023

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46 giving us an unprecedented look at the

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48 Galaxy's structure and development over

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51 time when you look at the combined image

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53 you'll notice a distinctive glowing

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55 bulge at the Galaxy's heart an

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56 egg-shaped structure that extends above

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59 and below its flat dis this bulge is

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01 unusually large for a spiral galaxy and

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03 astronomers believe it might be the

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 result of gravitational interactions

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 with nearby dwarf galaxies it's like

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09 watching a cosmic tug of war playing out

00:12:09 --> 00:12:12 across millions of light years where

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14 these gravitational forces have actually

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16 warped the Galaxy's disc bending it at

00:12:16 --> 00:12:20 both ends the Galaxy's arms shine with a

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22 bluish light indicating areas where new

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26 stars are actively forming however much

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27 of this Stellar Nursery is partially

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30 hidden behind thick CL clouds of cosmic

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32 dust adding to the mystery and

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34 complexity of this distant

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36 system these long-term observations by

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39 Hubble demonstrate why the telescope has

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41 been such a revolutionary tool for

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44 astronomy by revisiting the same Cosmic

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47 objects over decades we can track their

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49 evolution and piece together the

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50 intricate processes that shape our

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52 universe it's like having a time-lapse

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55 camera pointed at the cosmos helping us

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57 understand how galaxies live and change

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00 over astronomical time scale

00:13:00 --> 00:13:01 [Music]
