00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 welcome to astronomy daily your daily
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 source for the most fascinating
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07 developments in space and astronomy I'm
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 excited to bring you today's lineup of
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 incredible stories from across the
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 cosmos we'll be diving into Iran's
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16 latest achievement in space exploration
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 exploring some mind-bending new theories
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 about Advanced civilizations and sharing
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23 a groundbreaking discovery about a star
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 that's remarkably similar to our sun
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27 we'll also check in on Jupiter's
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 spectacular show in our night sky in
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 investigate a mysterious Comet hiding in
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 plain sight and get the latest updates
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 from the International Space Station
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 let's get
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 started Iran space program has marked a
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 significant Milestone with their latest
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 launch successfully placing their
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 largest payload yet into orbit the
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 launch took place on Friday using one of
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 their two-stage sorg Rockets carrying a
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 combined weight of 660 lbs of space
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 technology into the heavens the mission
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59 deployed three distinct payloads into an
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03 elliptical orbit ranging from 184 to 255
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 m above Earth among these payloads is
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09 the salmon 1 an Innovative space tug
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 designed to boost satellites to higher
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14 orbits and the fuer 1 Cube sat alongside
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16 an undisclosed research payload the
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 salon one space tug represents a
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20 particularly notable advancement as it
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 would enable Iran to move satellites
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 from low earth orbit up to
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26 geosynchronous orbit where spacecraft
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 maintain position over the same area of
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 Earth this capability ility could
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 significantly reduce the need for larger
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 launch vehicles and cut fuel costs for
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37 future missions however this achievement
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 has been met with mixed reactions from
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 the International Community while
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 Iranian State media celebrates it as a
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 milestone for their space sector Western
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48 Nations have expressed serious concerns
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 the United States and its allies view
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52 these developments through a more
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55 critical lens suggesting these launches
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 might Advance Iran's ballistic missile
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 capabilities a US intelligence report
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03 from July highlighted that the sorg
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 rocket technology could potentially
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 accelerate the development of
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 intercontinental ballistic missiles
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12 should Iran choose to pursue that path
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 these concerns stem from the parallel
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17 Technologies used in both space rockets
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20 and missile systems this latest launch
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 follows Iran's earlier success in
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 January when they achieved their first
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27 orbital launch of the sorg rocket prior
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 to that they conducted a test flight
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30 with what they Des described as an
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 indigenous bio capsule part of their
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34 stated ambition to eventually put
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36 Iranian astronauts into
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39 space a groundbreaking New Perspective
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42 on the fmy Paradox is challenging our
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 fundamental assumptions about how
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 advanced civilizations might appear to
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49 us researchers are suggesting that we
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 might be looking for the wrong signs
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52 when searching for intelligent life in
00:02:53 --> 00:02:53 the
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 cosmos the traditional view of the fmy
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 Paradox points to a striking
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 contradiction given the vast number of
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02 stars and planets in our galaxy there
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04 should be abundant intelligent life out
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07 there yet we see no evidence of it this
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10 new research proposes an intriguing
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12 solution perhaps Advanced civilizations
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 become so integrated with their planet's
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 natural systems that they become
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18 virtually indistinguishable from nature
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21 itself the key lies in understanding
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24 sustainability on a cosmic scale rather
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26 than pursuing endless expansion and
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 energy consumption as suggested by the
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 kardashev scale successful civilizations
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33 might actually fold back into their
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35 planet's biosphere this means that
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37 instead of building massive structures
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40 like Dyson spheres or colonizing entire
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43 galaxies Advanced species might develop
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45 in ways that harmonize completely with
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46 their home
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 worlds this perspective suggests that
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50 our current technological trajectory
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53 focused on constant growth and expansion
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55 might not be the universal path we
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58 assumed it to be instead truly Advanced
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00 civilizations might devel V in ways that
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 strengthen and enhance their planet's
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04 natural systems rather than replacing
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07 them what's particularly fascinating is
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08 how this could affect our search for
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10 extraterrestrial
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13 intelligence if this Theory holds true
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14 we might need to completely rethink our
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17 search methods rather than looking for
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19 artificial structures or radio signals
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22 we might need to look for subtler signs
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24 perhaps planets with unusually stable
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25 and complex
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 ecosystems this also raises profound
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30 questions about our own future perhaps
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32 the mark of an advanced civilization
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34 isn't its ability to conquer nature or
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36 spread across the stars but rather its
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38 capacity to achieve perfect harmony with
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40 its home World it suggests that our
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42 ultimate Destiny might not be to reach
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 for the stars but to become one with the
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 very planet that gave us
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50 life next up today in an exciting first
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52 astronomers have detected an astrosphere
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54 around a star remarkably similar to our
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56 son this discovery was made while
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59 observing a star nicknamed The Moth and
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 it's giving us unprecedented insights
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03 into how stars like our sun protect
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05 their planetary systems for those
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08 wondering what an astrosphere is think
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10 of it as a Stars protective bubble just
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12 as our sun creates the heliosphere that
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14 Shields our solar system from harsh
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17 cosmic rays other stars create their own
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19 protective bubbles through their Stellar
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21 winds while we've seen these bubbles
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23 around various types of stars before
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25 this is the first time we've observed
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28 one around a star so similar to our sun
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30 the star in question officially known as
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31 HD
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35 61005 earned its nickname The Moth
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37 because it's surrounded by a debris disc
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39 that looks like wings when viewed from
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41 Earth what makes this discovery
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43 particularly interesting is that this
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46 star is only about 100 million years old
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48 practically a teenager compared to our 4
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50 billion yearold son this younger age
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52 means it's more active and has stronger
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55 Stellar winds than our son currently
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58 does using the Chandra x-ray Observatory
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 researchers detected a Halo of X-ray
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03 light extending outward from the Star to
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06 a distance equivalent to 100 times the
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08 Earth Sun distance this glowing bubble
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11 is actually the star's astrosphere and
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13 its circular shape tells us something
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15 fascinating the Stellar Wind is so
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16 powerful that it maintains its shape
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18 even as the star plows through dense
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21 Interstellar gas this discovery is more
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24 than just a cosmic curiosity by studying
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27 the astrosphere of this younger sunlike
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29 star we're essentially looking at AAP
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 snot of what our own solar system might
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34 have been like in its youth it's like
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35 finding a baby picture of our Solar
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38 System's protective shield giving us
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40 valuable insights into how our Cosmic
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41 neighborhood has evolved over billions
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43 of
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46 years as I like to remind you keep
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47 looking up and this weekend is the
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50 perfect time to do just that stargazers
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52 and astronomy enthusiasts are in for a
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 treat this weekend as Jupiter reaches
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57 opposition creating the best viewing
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58 opportunity of
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01 2024 for the Solar System's largest
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04 planet the gas giant will appear at its
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06 biggest and brightest in our night sky
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09 as it positions itself directly opposite
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12 the sun when viewed from Earth this
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14 special alignment occurs on Saturday at
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17 3:50 p.m. eastern time with Jupiter
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19 rising in the East just as the sun sets
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 in the west you'll find it shining
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 brilliantly in the constellation Taurus
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25 reaching its highest point in the night
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27 sky around midnight local time what
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30 makes this event particularly special is
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32 that Jupiter will also make its closest
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35 approach to Earth coming within just 380
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38 million miles of our planet while that
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39 might sound like an enormous distance
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41 it's actually quite close in
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43 astronomical terms and it's this
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45 proximity that gives us such excellent
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46 viewing
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 conditions even though Jupiter will
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50 appear as a bright point of light to the
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 naked eye you don't need professional
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 equipment to make the most of this
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56 opportunity a decent pair of binoculars
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59 will reveal Jupiter's dis and even allow
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01 you to spot its largest moons known as
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04 the Galilean moons if you have access to
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06 a telescope you'll be able to see even
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08 more detail including some of Jupiter's
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11 distinctive Cloud bands look for Jupiter
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13 in the Eastern Sky after Sunset it will
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 be one of the brightest objects in the
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18 night sky making it easy to spot even
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 from light polluted areas the planet
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 will remain visible for most of the
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 night giving everyone plenty of time to
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26 catch a glimpse of this spectacular
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28 Celestial
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31 show in an exciting new discovery that's
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32 making astronomers rethink the
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34 boundaries between Cosmic objects
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36 scientists have identified another main
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39 belt Comet hiding in plain sight within
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41 the asteroid belt between Mars and
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44 Jupiter this fascinating object
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48 designated as 456 p/ pan Stars has
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50 become the 14th confirmed main belt
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52 Comet adding to a rare class of
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54 celestial bodies that challenge our
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55 traditional
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57 classifications these enigmatic objects
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59 belong to a broader category known as
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01 Act asteroids sharing characteristics of
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 both Rocky asteroids and icy comets what
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06 makes them particularly intriguing is
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08 their ability to display comet-like
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11 Behavior while maintaining asteroid-like
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14 orbits along with their mysterious
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17 cousins the dark comets which scientists
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20 believe make up about 60% of neear
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22 objects they're helping us better
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24 understand the complexity of our solar
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26 system the newly discovered object
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29 caught scientists attention in 2021 when
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32 pan star's telescopes in Hawaii observed
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35 it sporting a small Dusty tail but
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36 determining its true nature required
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39 patience and careful observation after
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 all sometimes asteroids can appear
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42 active simply due to collisions with
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 other space rocks creating temporary
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 dust clouds that might be mistaken for
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49 cometary activity following years of
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51 monitoring by a dedicated team of
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53 astronomers the object revealed its true
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56 identity through a pattern of repeated
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58 activity when observed at different
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 distances from the Sun it showed a
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02 fascinating cycle of activation and
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05 dorcy as it approached about 428 million
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07 km from the Sun the object began
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10 displaying a distinct tail pointing away
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12 from our Star Classic cometary Behavior
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14 caused by Ice sublimating beneath its
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17 surface with a nucleus measuring roughly
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20 1 kilm across this Celestial hybrid
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22 raises intriguing questions about the
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25 early solar system its existence
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26 suggests that the boundary between where
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29 ice could and couldn't exist during our
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31 solar systems formation wasn't as
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34 clearcut as previously thought these
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36 main belt comets might actually be
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39 preserved remnants from our Cosmic past
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41 offering valuable clues about how our
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43 solar neighborhood came to be this
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 discovery not only adds another member
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47 to an exclusive Club of celestial
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49 objects but also reminds us that the
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51 distinction between asteroids and comets
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54 isn't always black and white sometimes
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56 the most interesting discoveries lie in
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58 these gray areas challenging our
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 understanding of what possible in our
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01 Cosmic
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04 backyard finally today an update on the
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07 ISS life aboard the International Space
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09 Station has settled into a more routine
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11 Rhythm lately though that doesn't mean
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12 it's been without its share of
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15 excitement the expedition's 72 crew has
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16 been handling several unexpected
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 challenges with their usual professional
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22 expertise just last month they faced an
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24 unusual situation during the arrival of
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28 the progress ms29 resupply spacecraft
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 upon on opening the hatch crew members
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 detected what they described as a smell
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35 similar to spray paint along with some
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37 concerning droplets near the connection
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40 Point taking no chances the Russian
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42 cosmonauts dawned protective gear and
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44 sealed off the area while they activated
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46 air scrubbers to deal with the
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48 situation fortunately further
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50 investigation revealed the source to be
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52 harmless outgassing from materials in
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55 the progress vehicle pressurized section
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58 not any dangerous propellant leaks after
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59 confirming air quality had returned to
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01 normal the crew was able to resume their
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03 crucial cargo transfer
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06 operations the station also had to
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08 perform some fancy flying to avoid a
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10 piece of space debris specifically a
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12 fragment from a defense meteorological
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15 satellite that broke up back in
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19 2015 using the progress ms28 spacecrafts
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22 thrusters they executed a precise 5 1
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24 half minute maneuver to ensure safe
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26 distance from the potential Hazard it
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29 marked the 39th time the ISS has has had
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31 to dodge orbital debris highlighting one
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33 of the ongoing challenges of operating
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36 an Earth orbit despite these occasional
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38 hurdles the crew still found time to
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40 celebrate Thanksgiving together enjoying
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42 a special meal of freeze-dried turkey
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45 and all the traditional fixings it was a
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47 welcome break in their busy schedule of
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49 maintaining the station conducting
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51 scientific research and preparing for
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53 upcoming vehicle arrivals and departures
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56 as they continue their vital work 250 Mi
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59 above Earth
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00 and that wraps up today's episode of
