00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 welcome to astronomy daily your daily
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 dose of space and astronomy news I'm
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 your host Anna and today we've got a
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 packed episode covering everything from
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 Stranded astronauts finally coming home
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13 to groundbreaking telescope observations
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16 and exciting space launches from Mission
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 Control to the depths of deep space
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20 we're bringing you the latest
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23 developments in space exploration and
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24 astronomical discoveries that are
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 shaping our understanding of the cosmos
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30 let's get on with it after unexpectedly
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 Extended Stay aboard the International
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 Space Station NASA astronauts Butch
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37 Wilmore and Sunni Williams are finally
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 preparing to return home what was
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 originally planned as an 8-day Mission
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44 has stretched into nearly 300 days in
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46 space making this one of the longer
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 unplanned extensions of a space mission
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 in recent memory the two astronauts
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 arrived at the ISS last June as part of
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 Boeing's first Starliner crew test
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 flight however their return was delayed
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00 due to multiple technical issues with
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 Boeing spacecraft including five helium
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 leaks and five failures of its reaction
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 control system thrusters these
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 complications led to the mission being
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 abandoned leaving Wilmore and Williams
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14 to wait for an alternative ride home now
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15 they're scheduled to depart the space
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 station aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 on Tuesday morning with a planned splash
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 down near Florida by evening they'll be
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 joined by NASA astronaut Nick hay and
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27 roscosmos Cosmonaut Alexander gorinov in
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30 the Dragon capsule appropriately named
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 Freedom during their Extended Stay the
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 astronauts have had to maintain rigorous
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37 Health protocols to combat the effects
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40 of long-term space flight this includes
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 2 hours of daily resistance and
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44 endurance training to prevent the muscle
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47 and bone loss that naturally occurs in
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 microgravity while their 300 days in
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 space is impressive it's still well
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 short of the current record of 437 days
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58 set by Russian cosmina valer polyakov in
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01 1995 NASA will be live streaming the
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03 entire return Journey starting with the
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 hatch closure between freedom and the
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08 ISS on Monday night the undocking is
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09 scheduled for early Tuesday morning
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 North American time with the Final Phase
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 of re-entry beginning Tuesday evening
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15 weather conditions are currently
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17 favorable for the splash down though
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19 NASA continues to monitor various
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21 factors including spacecraft Readiness
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24 recovery team preparedness and SE
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27 States meanwhile in Australia in a
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 remarkable achievement for radio
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31 astronomy the sco telescope in remote
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33 Australia has captured its first image
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36 of the cosmos while construction of this
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37 groundbreaking instrument is still
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40 ongoing even its initial capabilities
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43 have revealed something extraordinary 85
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44 of the brightest known galaxies in a
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 particular region of space each
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 harboring super massive black holes at
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 their centers to put the scale of this
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 observation in perspective the area of
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 Sky captured is equivalent to holding a
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58 small apple at arms length or about 100
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 full moons but what makes this
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02 achievement even more impressive is that
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04 it was accomplished using just four
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08 connected stations comprising only 1,24
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 antennas spread across less than 6
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14 kilometers Dr George heeld the ska low
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 lead commissioning scientist notes that
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 the quality of this first image exceeded
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 their expectations even with such an
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24 early version of the telescope the
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26 successful image also confirmed that the
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 telescope's complex systems are working
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30 as intended from the proper connection
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 of stations to The crucial Timing
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35 Systems and data calibration processes
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37 but this is just the beginning over the
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40 next 18 months an additional 16
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42 antennas will be added to the array
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44 making scale low the most sensitive
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 radio telescope of its kind with this
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49 expanded capability it will be able to
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52 detect more than 4 galaxies in the
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54 same area of sky that currently shows
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55 just
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58 85 the ultimate vision is even more
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01 ambitious once construction is completed
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04 scale low will include more than 130
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08 antennas spread across 74 km when it
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10 begins deep surveys of this region of
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12 sky in 2030 scientists expect it to
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16 reveal up to 600 galaxies including
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18 some of the faintest and most distant
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 objects from the early Universe when the
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22 first stars and galaxies were just
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24 beginning to form let's move on now to
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27 this week's activity schedule space
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28 launch enthusiasts are in for an
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30 exciting week ahead with multiple
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32 missions scheduled from several launch
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34 providers around the globe let's break
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36 down the packed launch manifest that's
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39 coming our way SpaceX is leading the
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41 charge with three Falcon 9 Launches on
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43 the schedule first up is a starlink
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46 mission set for Tuesday launching from
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48 Cape Canaveral space force station in
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50 Florida this will be followed by a
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52 national reconnaissance office Mission
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54 from vandenbberg space force base in
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56 California on Wednesday the week will
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58 wrap up with another starlink launch
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01 from vandenbberg on Saturday rocket lab
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03 is maintaining its impressive launch
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06 Cadence with an electron Mission dubbed
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09 high five from their launch site in New
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 Zealand this Mission launching early
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 Tuesday will deliver the final batch of
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16 satellites for the French company kinis
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18 completing their Internet of Things
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21 constellation this launch comes just 72
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23 hours after their previous successful
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25 Mission showcasing rocket Labs growing
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28 capability for Rapid launch operations
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30 meanwhile in China
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32 Galactic energy has scheduled two
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34 launches of their gin sing one rocket
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36 from the jukan satellite launch Center
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39 in the GOI desert the first mission has
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41 already successfully delivered eight
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43 satellites to orbit including Earth
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45 observation and weather monitoring
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47 spacecraft a second launch is planned
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49 for later in the week though details
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52 about its payload remain Under Wraps
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54 this busy launch schedule continues the
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55 trend we've seen in recent months of
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 increased commercial space activity if
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59 all launches proceed as planned we'll
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01 see six orbital missions in just one
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03 week further demonstrating the growing
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 accessibility and commercialization of
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07 space launch
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10 Services next up it's nice to be
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11 reporting on a highly successful mission
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14 to the Moon in a significant milestone
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17 for commercial lunar exploration Firefly
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 Aerospace has announced the successful
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21 completion of their Blu ghost one lunar
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 lander Mission the spacecraft wrapped up
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26 operations after an impressive 346 hours
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29 of daytime operations plus an additional
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 5 hour hours after sunset at its Landing
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34 site in mayor chrum during its Mission
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36 Blu ghost won exceeded expectations
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40 collecting over 119 gab of data
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42 including 51 gab of scientific and
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45 Technical information from its 10 NASA
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47 sponsored payloads the mission achieved
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 all of its objectives marking a major
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52 success for both Firefly and NASA's
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 commercial lunar payload Services
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56 Program among its achievements the
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59 Lander made history by tracking GPS
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00 signals on the lunar surface for the
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03 first time and conducted the deepest
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 robotic drilling operation ever
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08 performed on the moon the spacecraft
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10 even managed to capture observations of
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12 a solar eclipse as Earth passed between
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15 the Sun and the Moon on March 14th
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 creating a spectacular ring of light as
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19 sunlight filtered through Earth's
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22 atmosphere the mission's success is
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24 particularly noteworthy as it was
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26 Firefly's first attempt at a lunar
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29 Landing this achievement stands out even
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 even more considering the challenges
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33 faced by other recent commercial lunar
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 missions that either failed to reach the
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38 moon or experienced hard Landings that
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39 limited their
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42 capabilities looking ahead Firefly
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43 already has two more lunar missions in
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46 the pipeline through NASA's program Blue
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 Ghost 2 is scheduled for launch next
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50 year and will attempt an ambitious
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 landing on the lunar Far Side while Blu
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55 ghost 3 is planned for 2028 returning to
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57 the near side with a suite of
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59 astrophysical and lunar science
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00 instruments
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02 including a small Rover this successful
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04 Mission represents a significant step
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06 forward improving the viability of
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09 commercial lunar exploration and sets a
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11 promising precedent for future private
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13 sector missions to the
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 moon the James web Space Telescope has
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18 achieved another remarkable Milestone by
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 capturing the first ever direct images
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25 distant planet these groundbreaking
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29 observations come from the HR 879
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32 9 system located 130 light years from
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35 Earth and provide crucial insights into
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38 how planets form the discovery is
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40 particularly significant as it offers
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42 compelling evidence that the four giant
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 planets in the HR
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 8 System likely formed through the
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49 same process as our own Jupiter and
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51 Saturn through core accretion where
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53 solid cores gradually accumulate gas
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56 over time this finding demonstrates
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58 web's unprecedented capability to
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00 directly analyze the chemical
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 composition of exoplanet atmospheres
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 rather than just inferring it from
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07 Starlight the HR
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10 8799 system is remarkably young only
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12 about 30 million years old compared to
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16 our Solar System's 4.6 billion years the
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17 planets are still hot from their
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20 formation emitting significant infrared
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21 light that provides scientists with
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23 valuable data about their composition
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24 and formation
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27 process using web's Advanced
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28 coronagraphs which block the bright
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 light from Stars similar to how a solar
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33 eclipse works the research team was able
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35 to detect more heavy elements in these
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 planets than previously thought they
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 observed specific wavelengths that
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42 reveal the presence of various gases and
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43 other atmospheric
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46 components this achievement builds upon
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 web's earlier indirect detection of
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51 carbon dioxide in 2022 when it observed
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55 the exoplanet wasp 39b as it passed in
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57 front of its star but this new direct
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00 Imaging capability opens up exciting new
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01 possibilities for studying Distant
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04 Worlds and understanding how planetary
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05 systems form and
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08 evolve the findings not only Advance our
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10 understanding of Planet formation but
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12 also demonstrate web's remarkable
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14 ability to peer into the atmospheres of
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17 Distant Worlds with unprecedented detail
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19 and precision this capability will be
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22 crucial as we continue to search for and
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23 study potentially habitable planets
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25 beyond our solar
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28 system let's turn our attention now to a
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29 fascinating Stellar neighbor that's been
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32 making headlines Beetle Juice this red
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35 giant star forming the distinctive
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38 shoulder of the constellation Orion sits
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40 about 500 light years away and is
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42 putting on quite a show as it approaches
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44 the end of its life to put its size into
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46 perspective if you placed Beetle Juice
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49 in our solar system it would extend
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51 roughly to the orbit of Mars this
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54 massive star weighing between 15 to 20
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56 times the mass of our sun is in an
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58 incredibly unstable phase of its life
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 cycle and astronomers estimate it could
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03 go supernova anytime within the next few
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05 hundred thousand years or it might have
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07 already exploded with the light still
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10 traveling toward us when Beetlejuice
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 does go supernova it will be truly
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 spectacular we're talking about an event
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16 so bright it will be visible during
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19 broad daylight outshining every planet
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22 in our sky at night it will shine almost
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24 as brightly as the full moon allowing
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26 you to read a book at midnight by its
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 light alone this Cosmic fireworks
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30 display will last for several months
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33 before gradually fading away now you
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34 might be wondering if we should be
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36 concerned about having such a powerful
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38 explosion relatively close to Earth the
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41 good news is that we're perfectly safe
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43 while supern noi release enormous
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45 amounts of energy the vast distance
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 between us and Beetle juu means that by
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50 the time that energy reaches Earth it
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51 will have spread out so much that it
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54 poses no threat to our planet it's a
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56 perfect example of the inverse Square
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 law in action the further you get from a
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00 source of radiation the more
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03 dramatically its effects decrease so
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04 when Beetle just finally does make its
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 Grand exit we can simply sit back and
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09 enjoy the most impressive astronomical
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11 light show in human history knowing
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13 we've got front row seats to one of the
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16 universe's most spectacular
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18 events well that brings us to the end of
