00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 You're listening to Astronomy Daily. I'm

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03 Anna.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 >> And I'm Avery. It is Saturday the 7th of

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09 March, 2026. And as usual, we have a

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 packed show for you today.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14 >> We absolutely do. Here's a question to

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 get you thinking. Back in September

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20 2022, NASA slammed a spacecraft into an

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 asteroid. You probably remember that.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 But did you know that we only just

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 confirmed something remarkable? That

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30 impact didn't just nudge the asteroid.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 It actually changed the orbit of an

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36 entire asteroid system around the sun.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 >> For the first time in human history, we

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42 moved the celestial body's solar orbit.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44 And that's just story one. We've also

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46 got gravitational waves, a spacecraft

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 emergency in orbit, a 45-year-old theory

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 biting the dust, our young sun blowing

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 its very first cosmic bubble, and a

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 gorgeous double planet show in tonight's

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 sky. Let's go.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00 >> So, let's kick off with the Dart story,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02 and I think it deserves a moment to

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 really sink in. We already knew that

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 Dart was a success. We knew it shortened

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 the orbit of Dimorphice around its

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 partner asteroid Ditimos by about 33

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 minutes. That was confirmed back in

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17 2022. But a new study published

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 yesterday in the journal Science

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 Advances has revealed something even

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 bigger,

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25 >> right? Because Ditimos and Dorphis are

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27 gravitationally linked. They move

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29 together. And researchers have now

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31 confirmed that the debris blasted off

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34 the amorphice during that impact was so

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 enormous, we're talking over a million

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 kilograms of rock and dust, that it gave

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42 the whole binary system an extra kick.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45 >> And that extra kick was measurable. The

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47 orbital period of the entire Ditto

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51 system around the sun shortened by 0.15

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 seconds. Now, I know that sounds tiny,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57 but this is the first time a human-made

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 object has measurably changed the path

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02 of a celestial body around our star.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 >> To even measure that, the team had to

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07 get incredibly creative. They tracked

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 what are called stellar occultations,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12 moments when the asteroid passes in

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 front of a background star and briefly

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17 blocks its light. Volunteers around the

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19 world contributed 22 of these

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22 observations between October 2022 and

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 March 2025.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27 22 pinpoint moments of a star blinking

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 out. And from those they derived a

00:02:30 --> 00:02:35 change of 0.15 seconds in a 770day solar

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 orbit. The momentum enhancement factor

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40 turned out to be about two, meaning the

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43 debris ejected by the impact roughly

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 doubled the total push given to the

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48 asteroid. Dart didn't just hit Dorphice,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 it turned Dorphice into a rocket.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 >> And Thomas Statatler, lead scientist for

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 solar system small bodies at NASA

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58 headquarters, framed it perfectly. He

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 said, "A tiny change can, given enough

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03 time, grow into a significant

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05 deflection." This result validates

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07 kinetic impact as a genuine planetary

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 defense technique not just for nudging a

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12 moon but for altering the path of an

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15 entire binary system around the sun.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19 Hera spacecraft which launched in 2024

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 is expected to arrive at the Ditimo

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23 system later this year to study the

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25 aftermath of close though the science

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27 from this impact is very much still

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28 unfolding.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32 >> Story two and it is a landmark one. The

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36 LIGO Virgo Kagra collaboration, the LVK,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39 has just published the fourth edition of

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41 the gravitational wave transient catalog

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44 known as GWTC4.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 And the headline, they've more than

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 doubled the total number of

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51 gravitational wave detections ever made.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53 >> Before this release, the entire catalog

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56 contained 90 candidates from three

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58 previous observing runs stretching back

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02 to 2015. This new catalog adds 128 new

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 events, all detected during just the

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 first 9 months of the fourth observing

00:04:07 --> 00:04:11 run between May 2023 and January 2024.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15 >> So, we've gone from 90 to 218 in one

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18 update. And it's not just the quantity

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 that's exciting, it's the variety. The

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 catalog includes the heaviest black hole

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 binary merger ever detected, with each

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28 black hole weighing in at around 130

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30 times the mass of our sun.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32 >> There's also a binary where both black

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35 holes are spinning at roughly 40% the

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 speed of light. And there are two new

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 mixed mergers, a black hole colliding

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41 with a neutron star. Each one of those

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44 is a treasure trove for astrophysics.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 >> Daniel Williams, a researcher at the

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49 University of Glasgow and LVK member put

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 it well. He said they're pushing into

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 new parts of parameter space, seeing

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55 things that are more massive, spinning

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59 faster, and more astrophysically unusual

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 than anything detected before. What I

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03 love about this is what it means for

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05 testing Einstein. The catalog includes

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 an event with one of the loudest

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09 gravitational wave signals ever

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13 recorded, GW230814,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 and the team used it to run precision

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17 tests of general relativity. It passed

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19 with flying colors, but the fact that

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21 we're now running those tests on events

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24 this extreme is remarkable.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26 >> LIGUR and its partners are currently in

00:05:26 --> 00:05:29 a maintenance break, but a new six-month

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31 observing run is expected to begin in

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34 late 2026. Given how rapidly the catalog

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37 is growing, that run could double it

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38 again.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40 >> All right, story three, and this one has

00:05:40 --> 00:05:43 a genuine element of suspense. Europe's

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45 ProRa 3 mission is in trouble. A

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47 confirmed yesterday that they have lost

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49 contact with one of the two spacecraft

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52 that make up the Proba 3 mission.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55 >> Let me explain what Proba 3 actually is

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 because it's a fascinating concept. It

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59 launched from India back in December

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02 2024 and it consists of two separate

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04 spacecraft designed to fly in

00:06:04 --> 00:06:08 extraordinarily precise formation about

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11 150 m apart to create artificial solar

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14 eclipses in space. One spacecraft, the

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16 Occultter, physically blocks the bright

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18 face of the sun. The other, the

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21 Coronagraph, uses that shadow to image

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 the sun's faint outer atmosphere, the

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25 corona, without being blinded by the

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28 solar disc. And to make this work, the

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30 two spacecraft must maintain alignment

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33 to within millimeter accuracy.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35 >> It's an almost absurdly precise

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38 operation, and it was working. In May of

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40 last year, the spacecraft achieved their

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43 landmark formation flying test. In June,

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45 they captured the first ever images of

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48 an artificial solar eclipse in space. It

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51 was a genuine technological first. And

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 then on the weekend of February 14th,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57 something went wrong. The Coron

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59 spacecraft, the one doing the imaging,

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01 experienced an anomaly that prevented it

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04 from entering safe mode.Sa describes it

00:07:04 --> 00:07:07 as a progressive loss of attitude. In

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09 other words, the spacecraft slowly lost

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10 its orientation.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13 >> As it drifted, its solar panels moved

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15 away from the sun. The batteries

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 drained. The spacecraft dropped into

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20 survival mode, and contact was lost. ISA

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23 says root cause is under investigation.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24 And they're exploring whether the

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27 companion occultter spacecraft can be

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29 maneuvered closer to assist in recovery.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 >> Losing either spacecraft would

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34 effectively end the proba 3 mission.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36 Lisa says teams are working hard and

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37 they will provide updates as new

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40 information becomes available. This is

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42 very much a developing story. We'll keep

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 following it. Story 4 is a classic

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48 example of a long-held scientific belief

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51 getting overturned. For 45 years,

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52 astronomers thought they understood how

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55 stars like our sun change as they age.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58 Specifically, how their rotation pattern

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59 evolved.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02 >> The idea was this. Our sun rotates

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04 differentially. The equator takes about

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07 25 days to complete one full rotation

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09 while the poles take about 35 days.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12 Equator faster, poles slower. That's

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15 called solar type differential rotation.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17 And scientists believed that as stars

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19 slowed down over billions of years, they

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 would eventually flip. The poles would

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 start spinning faster than the equator

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25 instead.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28 >> That flip state was called antisolar

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30 differential rotation. Theoretical

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33 simulations predicted it. No one had

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35 ever observed it, but the model said it

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37 should happen. And for decades, the lack

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39 of observations was attributed to

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41 limitations in our telescope technology.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 >> But now, researchers at Nagoya

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 University in Japan have used Fugaku,

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50 the country's most powerful supercomput

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53 to run the most detailed simulations

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56 ever of stellar interiors. And the

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58 result is clear. The flip doesn't

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02 happen. The key was resolution. Previous

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 simulations were low resolution and

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07 magnetic fields faded out of the models

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09 entirely. At high resolution, we're

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12 talking 5.4 billion grid points per

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15 simulated star. The magnetic fields

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17 stayed strong. And those magnetic

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19 fields, it turns out, are what prevent

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22 the rotation from flipping. Professor

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25 Heidi Yukihada, one of the co-authors,

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28 said it simply. Turbulence and magnetism

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 keep the equator spinning faster than

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32 the poles throughout the stars life. The

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34 switch doesn't happen because magnetic

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 fields, which previous simulations

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38 missed, prevent it.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41 >> And there's a bonus finding. Magnetic

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43 fields in solar type stars weaken

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45 continuously throughout their lifetime

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 with no revival in old age. Previous

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50 models had predicted a magnetic

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53 comeback. That doesn't happen either.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:55 >> This matters practically, too. A

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57 corrected model of stellar rotation

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 helps us better understand the sun's

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03 11-year sunspot cycle and could improve

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05 our predictions of how magnetic activity

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07 affects the habitability of planets

00:10:07 --> 00:10:10 orbiting sunlike stars over billions of

00:10:10 --> 00:10:11 years.

00:10:11 --> 00:10:15 Dory 5, and it's a lovely one. A real

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18 window into our own sun's distant past.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23 captured the very first image of what's

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25 called an astrosphere around the

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27 sun-like star.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29 >> Our sun has a protective bubble around

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31 it called the heliosphere, created by

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34 the solar wind streaming outward and

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36 carving out a cavity in interstellar

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39 space. It's enormous. It extends far

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41 beyond the outer planets and shields the

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44 solar system from harmful galactic

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46 cosmic rays. But we've never been able

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48 to photograph it from the outside.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51 >> The star Chandra observed is called

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54 HD61005

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57 and it sits about 120 light years away

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59 in the constellation Pupus. It has

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01 roughly the same mass and temperature as

00:11:01 --> 00:11:05 our sun, but it's only about 100 million

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08 years old. Our sun is around 5 billion

00:11:08 --> 00:11:11 years old. So HD610005

00:11:11 --> 00:11:15 is cosmically speaking a baby. And

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17 because it's so young, its stellar wind

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20 is dramatically more powerful. It blows

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23 about three times faster and is 25 times

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26 denser than the wind from our sun today.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 That's why its astrosphere is bright

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 enough to detect in X-rays. The powerful

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 wind collides with the surrounding

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35 interstellar dust and gas, and that

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38 collision produces X-ray emission that

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40 Chandra can detect.

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42 >> The astrosphere has a diameter roughly

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45 200 times the distance between Earth and

00:11:45 --> 00:11:48 the Sun. Carrie Liss of John's Hopkins

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50 University, who led the study, put it

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52 beautifully. We've been studying our

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55 sun's heliosphere for decades, but we

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57 can never see it from the outside. This

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59 is the closest thing we have to a

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01 photograph of what our own sun's bubble

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04 looked like several billion years ago.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07 The star is also nicknamed the moth

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09 because a surrounding disc of dust forms

00:12:09 --> 00:12:12 a mothlike structure around it. And

00:12:12 --> 00:12:13 interestingly, the dense dusty

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16 environment is actually part of why the

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19 astrosphere is so visible here, making

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21 HD 610005

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23 a uniquely ideal subject for this kind

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26 of observation. And we'll finish with

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28 some sky watching news because tonight

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31 and tomorrow night offer something quite

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34 special. Venus and Saturn are meeting up

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36 in the evening sky and it's a treat for

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38 anyone who can get outside shortly after

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41 sunset. Venus is already impossible to

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43 miss right now. It's shining at

00:12:43 --> 00:12:46 magnitude minus 3.9, which makes it by

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48 far the brightest object in the sky

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51 after the sun and moon. Tonight and

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53 tomorrow, Saturn sits close alongside

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55 it. though considerably fainter at

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57 magnitude 1.0.

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59 >> The best time to look is about 30

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02 minutes after sunset when Venus will be

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05 roughly 7° above the western horizon.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07 Binoculars will help a lot. Saturn

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09 should pop into view easily near

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11 brilliant Venus. You'll have about 70

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14 minutes before both planets set. And if

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16 you're pointing a telescope at Venus

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19 tonight, you're in for an extra treat.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21 The planet is currently showing a 97%

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24 lit disc, almost fully illuminated from

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27 our perspective. It's a gorgeous site.

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29 Neptune is also lurking nearby, just

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31 over a degree from Saturn, though you'll

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34 need a telescope to catch that one.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36 >> So, get outside this evening if skies

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39 are clear. Venus is your guide. Find

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41 that brilliant white beacon low in the

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43 west, and Saturn will be right there

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45 waiting for you.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47 >> And that's our show for today. Six

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49 stories from an asteroid nudged around

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51 the sun to a planet pairing up in

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54 tonight's sky. It's a great time to be

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56 paying attention to the universe.
