00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 welcome to astronomy daily I'm thrilled
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03 to share with you another fascinating
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 day in space and astronomy news we have
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07 a busy show for you today with stories
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10 that span our solar system and beyond
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 we'll start with some reassuring news
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 about that asteroid that has briefly
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 caused concern we'll settle that one for
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 once in for all then Journey to the edge
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 of space with blue Origins latest crude
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 Mission if you're a stargazer you won't
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 want to miss our coverage of an
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25 incredible seven Planet parade visible
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28 in the night sky this month we'll also
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 explore a compelling mystery surr in
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 Saturn's largest moon Titan and get the
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34 details on NASA's Innovative new
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37 approach to reaching lunar orbit finally
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 we'll challenge everything you thought
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 you knew about why Mars appears red the
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44 answer might surprise you so settle in
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45 as we embark on this Cosmic Journey
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 Through the latest developments in space
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50 exploration and astronomical discoveries
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51 let's get
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55 started remember that asteroid 20124 yr4
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 that made headlines back in December and
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00 again in January and February well I've
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01 got some good news to share about this
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05 so-called City killer initially NASA
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 scientists calculated a concerning 1.3%
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 chance of this asteroid hitting Earth in
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 2032 that probability actually increased
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 to about 3% earlier this month as more
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18 observations came in causing quite a
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20 stir in the astronomical Community but
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 thanks to new data from the European
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 Southern observatories very large
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27 telescope and other facilities worldwide
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29 we can all breathe a little easier the
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31 latest an analysis from the European
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 space agency has dramatically reduced
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 the risk placing the probability of an
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40 Earth impact in 2032 at just
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43 0% to put this in perspective we're
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 talking about a space Rock between 40
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48 and 90 M across roughly the size of a
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 building that's millions of kilometers
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54 away as ESO astronomer Olivier heut
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56 explains tracking these objects is like
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58 following the beam of a flashlight it
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 gets broader and fuzzi the further out
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03 you look but with each new observation
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06 that beam becomes sharper and narrower
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 and in this case that narrowing beam is
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10 clearly moving away from Earth while
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12 this particular threat has been largely
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 dismissed the situation serves as an
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 important reminder of why we need to
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19 stay vigilant in monitoring near Earth
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21 objects it's a perfect example of how
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23 our planetary defense systems work from
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25 initial detection through careful
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27 tracking and Analysis to ultimately
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 determining the true level of risk the
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31 these Cosmic visitors might pose to our
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35 planet so please relax and sleep well
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 tonight blue origin has just marked a
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38 significant milestone in their
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40 commercial space flight program
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 completing their 10th crude Mission with
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 the new Shephard vehicle the launch took
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47 place from their West Texas facility on
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50 February 25th carrying six passengers to
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52 the edge of space in what was designated
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54 as mission
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57 ns30 after a brief 19-minute hold for
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59 technical checks the new Shephard rocket
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02 lift it off carrying its crew capsule to
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05 an impressive altitude of 107 km above
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08 Earth's surface the entire flight lasted
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 just over 10 minutes with both the
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11 booster and capsule making perfect
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14 Landings back on Earth among the
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 passengers were some fascinating
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19 individuals Lane Bess who was actually
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 making his second trip to space after
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23 flying on a previous new Shepard Mission
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26 Jesus Kalesa a Spanish television host
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 known for his Adventure programming
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30 elain chahi
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 who owns a media company working on AI
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35 technology Dr Richard Scott a physician
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38 and medical company executive and tusher
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 Shaw a hedge fund partner interestingly
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42 the sixth passenger added a bit of
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45 mystery to the mission in an unusual
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47 departure from standard practice blue
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49 origin honored this individual's request
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51 for privacy identifying them only by the
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54 name R Wilson on their flight suit and
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57 Mission patch this successful flight
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59 isn't just about tourism it represents
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02 something bigger for blue origin as
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04 their CEO Dave limp recently explained
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06 these new Shephard flights serve two
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09 crucial purposes they act as a test bed
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11 for developing new space Technologies
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13 and they're proving there's genuine
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15 demand for the profound experience of
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18 suborbital space flight even with the
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 substantial ticket prices for the space
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 tourism industry this 10th crude flight
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 demonstrates that we're moving steadily
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 toward a future where space travel while
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29 still exclusive is Bec becoming
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32 increasingly routine and
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35 reliable each successful Mission brings
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38 us one step closer to making space more
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39 accessible to more
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42 people time to get your telescope out
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43 and ready though you will be able to
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45 take part in this event with just your
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48 Naked Eyes if you wish in an exciting
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49 astronomical event the night sky is
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 currently hosting what astronomers call
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54 a planetary parade with seven planets
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56 gracing our view at once while these
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58 celestial bodies aren't lined up like
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00 players on a marching field they're all
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02 clustered on the same side of the sun
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 creating a rare viewing opportunity for
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08 Sky Watchers Venus Mars and Jupiter are
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10 leading the show being the easiest to
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12 spot with the naked eye Saturn and
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 Mercury are playing a bit harder to get
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16 hovering close to the Horizon where
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19 they're trickier to find for those with
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22 some basic equipment Uranus and Neptune
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24 can be spotted through binoculars or a
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24 small
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26 telescope if you're hoping to catch the
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 celestial Gathering here's what you need
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31 to do find a spot with a clear view of
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33 the sky away from City Lights if
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36 possible and wait until after Sunset the
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38 planets will stand out from the
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39 surrounding Stars by shining more
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42 steadily and brightly Mars will be
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43 particularly distinctive with its
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45 reddish orange glow if you're having
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47 trouble identifying the planets there
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49 are several stargazing apps that can
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52 help point you in the right direction
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53 while these planetary alignments aren't
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55 extremely rare they happen at least
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 yearly with varying numbers of planets
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 having seven planets visible at once is
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 still a special occurrence four or five
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04 planets visible to the naked eye only
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06 happens every few years making this
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08 current alignment particularly
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10 noteworthy just keep in mind that this
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12 Cosmic performance won't last forever
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14 the planets will gradually drift apart
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17 as we move into the northern hemisphere
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20 spring while we're mentioning Saturn
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21 scientists have made a fascinating
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23 discovery about Saturn's moon Titan
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25 that's shaking up our understanding of
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 this Mysterious World new research
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29 suggests that something dramatic
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 happened to Titan relatively recently in
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33 astronomical terms within the last 350
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35 million years that significantly
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38 Disturbed its orbit around Saturn The
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40 Story begins with Scientists studying
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42 how Titan loses energy as it orbits
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44 Saturn a process known as tidal
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46 dissipation think of it like Earth's
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49 ocean tides but on a much grander scale
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51 Saturn's immense gravitational pull
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53 actually causes subtle changes in Titan
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55 shape and motion as it orbits similar to
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58 how our moon creates tides on Earth
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59 what's particularly intriguing is that
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01 Titan's current orbit isn't what
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03 scientists would expect if it had been
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 peacefully circling Saturn for billions
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08 of years based on their calculations
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09 Titan should settle into a perfectly
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12 circular orbit within about 350 million
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15 years the fact that its orbit is still
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 elliptical suggests something must have
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18 knocked it off course relatively
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21 recently the culprit behind this orbital
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 disruption remains a mystery it could
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25 have been an impact from another
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28 Celestial body the loss of an ancient
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29 satellite or some other cause Cosmic
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32 event we haven't yet considered whatever
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34 it was it was significant enough to
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37 leave its mark on Titan's orbital path
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39 and the Moon is still in the process of
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43 settling back into a stable orbit this
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44 discovery is particularly exciting
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46 because it gives us a new window into
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49 Titan's recent history it's like finding
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51 unexpected footprints in the snow we
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53 know something happened and now
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55 scientists are working to piece together
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57 exactly what that might have been the
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59 research not only helps us understand
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01 and tighten better but also provides
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03 insights into how similar moons
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05 throughout our solar system might be
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07 affected by the gravitational forces of
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09 their parent
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11 planets NASA's latest lunar Mission the
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14 lunar Trailblazer is preparing for an
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15 Innovative Journey To The Moon that
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18 showcases the clever use of Nature's Own
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 forces this small But Mighty satellite
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 about the size of a dishwasher will
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25 hitch a ride on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28 as part of the im2 mission but its path
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30 to lunar orbit is what makes it truly
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33 fascinating instead of taking a direct
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35 route to the moon the Trailblazer will
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38 embark on an elegant Cosmic dance using
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41 the combined gravitational pull of the
00:08:41 --> 00:08:45 sun earth and moon to gradually maneuver
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48 into position this fuele efficient
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50 approach known as a low energy transfer
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53 will take between 4 to 7 months but will
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55 save precious propellant making it
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57 possible for such a small spacecraft to
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00 accomplish its ambitious goals once in
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 its final orbit just 60 Mi above the
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 lunar surface the Trailblazer will begin
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07 its primary Mission creating the most
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10 detailed maps ever of water on the moon
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12 the spacecraft carries two sophisticated
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14 instruments an infrared spectrometer and
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17 a thermal mapper that will work together
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19 to reveal where water exists what form
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21 it takes and how it moves across the
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24 lunar surface particularly exciting is
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26 the Trailblazer ability to peer into
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28 permanently shadowed craters at the Moon
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 South Pole
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32 these mysterious regions never touched
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34 by direct sunlight could Harbor
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37 significant deposits of ice potential
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40 resources for future lunar explorers the
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43 spacecraft will make 12 orbits each day
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44 observing these areas under different
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 conditions to build a comprehensive
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 picture of lunar water
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50 distribution this Mission represents a
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52 new approach to space exploration
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54 proving that sometimes smaller can be
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56 better despite its compact size and
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58 relatively modest budget the lunar
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 Trailblazer aims to answer fundamental
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02 questions about our nearest Celestial
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04 neighbor while demonstrating how smart
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06 engineering and natural forces can work
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09 together to achieve ambitious scientific
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12 goals to wrap things up today here's
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13 something that might shake up everything
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15 you thought you knew about Mars's famous
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17 red color scientists have just
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19 challenged a long-held belief about why
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22 the red planet looks the way it does
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23 while we've all been taught that Mars
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25 gets its distinctive Hue from the same
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28 process that creates rust here on Earth
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29 new research suggest suggests we might
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32 have been wrong all along a team led by
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34 Dr adamus valentinas from Brown
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36 University has discovered that the real
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39 source of Mars's coloration is likely a
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42 mineral called fairy hydrite an iron
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44 oxide that contains water this isn't
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46 just a minor correction to our textbooks
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48 it's a finding that tells us something
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51 fascinating about Mars's history using
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52 data from multiple Mars missions
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54 including NASA's reconnaissance Orbiter
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57 and esa's Mars Express along with
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58 groundbased observations from various
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59 Rovers
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01 the researchers found that ferah hydrate
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04 isn't just present in small amounts it's
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 widespread across the entire Martian
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08 landscape what makes this particularly
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10 exciting is that ferah hydrate can only
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 form under specific conditions namely
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15 when there's plenty of water around this
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17 discovery adds to the growing body of
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 evidence that Mars once had a much
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21 wetter environment meaning our Beach's
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23 story from yesterday's episode gets even
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26 more credible the red color we see today
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 isn't just a random Quirk of planetary
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30 chemistry it's actually a signature Left
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32 Behind from a time when Mars might have
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34 been a much more hospitable world with
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37 conditions potentially suitable for Life
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38 the research team is now eagerly
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40 awaiting samples being collected by the
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43 perseverance Rover in the jezero crater
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45 these samples which will eventually be
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 returned to Earth could provide
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49 definitive proof of their Theory and
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51 help us better understand Mars's
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54 fascinating geological history it's
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56 remarkable how something as simple as
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 the planet's color could hold such
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01 important Clues about its
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03 past well that brings us to the end of
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 another fascinating Journey Through the
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08 cosmos I'm Anna and I've been thrilled
