00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 welcome to astronomy daily I'm excited
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03 to bring you another packed episode of
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 space and astronomy news today we have
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07 some great stories to share starting
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 with a groundbreaking discovery about
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 Jupiter's volcanic moon IO that's
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 challenging everything we thought we
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 knew about its interior structure we'll
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 also look at an incredibly busy week
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 ahead in space flight with multiple
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22 launches scheduled from SpaceX including
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 their next crew mission to the
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 International Space Station rocket lab
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 Firefly and several International launch
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 providers are also preparing for
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 liftoffs in the coming days in our
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 coverage of cosmic Mysteries we'll
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 explore fascinating new research about
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 dark matter at the heart of our Milky
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41 Way galaxy that could revolutionize our
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42 understanding of this enigmatic
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 substance we'll also check in on NASA's
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46 Artemis program as it takes another step
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50 toward returning humans to the moon and
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51 we'll round things out with an
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 interesting look at some Growing Pains
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 at SpaceX where recent challenges might
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57 suggest the company is approaching its
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 operational limits even as it maintains
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03 ains an unprecedented launch Cadence
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04 let's dive into these stories and
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 explore the latest developments in space
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08 exploration and
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 astronomy in a fascinating development
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 NASA's Juno spacecraft has revealed
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 surprising new insights about Jupiter's
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18 most volcanic moon IO Data from recent
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19 flybys suggests that contrary to
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 long-held beliefs IO doesn't have a
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23 shallow Global magma ocean beneath its
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 surface instead the moon's mantle
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 appears to be mostly solid forcing
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 scientists to rethink their
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30 understanding understanding of how this
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 incredibly active World
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 functions IO experiences intense
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38 geological activity due to the powerful
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 gravitational forces from Jupiter as the
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 moon follows its elliptical orbit
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44 Jupiter's massive gravitational pull
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46 stretches and compresses it generating
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49 tremendous internal heat this process
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 known as tidal heating is responsible
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 for io's status as the most volcanically
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56 active body in our solar system for
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 years scientists theorized that this
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01 constant Gra vitational needeing could
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03 create and maintain a global underground
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06 ocean of molten rock however when
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08 researchers analyzed measurements of
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10 io's tital deformation how much its
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12 surface flexes under Jupiter's
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 gravitational stress the data told a
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17 different story the team led by Ryan
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19 Park found that the way IO responds to
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21 these forces isn't consistent with what
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23 we'd expect if a shallow magma ocean
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26 were present the findings don't rule out
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28 the possibility of some deeper magma
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 Chambers or isolated pockets of molten
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33 rock but they do suggest that io's
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 internal structure is more complex than
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38 previously thought this discovery has
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 broader implications for our
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41 understanding of how tidal forces affect
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44 worlds throughout the solar system
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 including other moons like Europa and
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 Enceladus that experience similar
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50 gravitational interactions with their
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51 apparent
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54 planets this Revelation from Juno adds
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55 another layer to our evolving picture of
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58 IO showing us that even after Decades of
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01 observation this fascinating Moon still
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03 has secrets to reveal the findings
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05 challenge us to develop new models to
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06 explain how IO maintains its
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09 extraordinary volcanic activity without
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11 a global magma ocean opening up exciting
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13 new questions for planetary scientists
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14 to
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 explore let's turn our attention now to
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 this week's launch roster get ready for
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 an incredibly busy week in space flight
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23 with multiple launches scheduled across
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26 the globe Space X leads the packed
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 schedule with several missions including
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30 the highly anticipated crew1 flight to
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 the International Space Station the
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34 crew1 mission will launch from Kennedy
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37 Space Center's launch complex 39a
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39 carrying NASA astronauts an mlan and
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43 Nicole AES Jaa astronaut takuya onishi
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46 and roscosmos Cosmonaut kirol pesov to
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 the space station they'll be flying
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50 aboard the crew Dragon endurance making
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53 its fourth trip to space this particular
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55 Dragon previously supported the crew 3
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58 crew 5 and crew 7 missions SpaceX also
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00 has multiple star link Launches on the
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 Manifest including two missions from
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 Florida's Space Coast these launches
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06 will continue expanding the company's
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 satellite internet constellation with
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09 some of the satellites featuring new
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11 direct toell capabilities that could
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12 eventually enable mobile phone
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15 connectivity from space in California
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 SpaceX had planned to launch two NASA
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21 science missions sphex and punch sphex
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22 will study the early universe and search
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24 for the building blocks of life within
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27 our galaxy while punch will investigate
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28 solar winds and their effects on the
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30 heliosphere using a network of four
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31 small
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34 satellites however I believe this launch
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35 has just been delayed and will be
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38 rescheduled rocket lab is preparing for
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40 their third mission of 2025 from New
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42 Zealand appropriately titled the
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 lightning god reigns they'll be
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 launching a synthetic aperture radar
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48 satellite for IQs marking the first of
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50 eight planned launches to help build out
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53 their Earth observation constellation
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 firly Aerospace is set to launch their
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57 Alpha rocket from vandenbberg space
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59 Force Base carrying Lockheed Martin's
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02 new LM 400 satellite bus on a
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 demonstration Mission this will be
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 Alpha's First Flight of the year and
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09 sixth overall on the international front
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 China's Chang Jong 8 rocket will make
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 history with the first launch from a new
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 commercial pad at wenchang while Russia
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17 prepares an angara rocket launch from
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20 placet carrying an unspecified military
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23 payload this intense launch Cadence
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24 reflects the growing commercialization
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27 of space access and the increasing
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29 diversity of launch providers worldwide
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31 it's a testament to how far we've come
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33 from the days when orbital launches were
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36 rare events sometimes happening only a
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37 few times per
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41 year next up a fascinating Discovery at
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43 the heart of our Milky Way galaxy could
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45 provide new insights into one of the
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48 universe's most perplexing Mysteries
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51 Dark Matter scientists have identified
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52 strange events in the Galaxy's Central
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55 molecular Zone that might be evidence of
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 a previously unknown form of Dark Matter
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59 one that's lighter than existing
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00 theoretical
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 candidates this new dark matter suspect
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04 has a unique characteristic it's self
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06 annihilating when two particles meet
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08 they destroy each other creating pairs
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10 of electrons and their antimatter
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12 counterparts positrons this process
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14 releases energy that strips electrons
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16 from neutral atoms in the dense gas at
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19 our galaxy Center a process known as
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22 ionization the theory elegantly explains
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24 why there's so much ionized gas in the
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26 central molecular Zone while this
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28 Annihilation process might be rare it
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30 would naturally occur more frequently in
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31 Galactic centers where dark matter is
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34 thought to concentrate traditional
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36 explanations involving cosmic rays don't
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38 fully account for the observed levels of
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41 ionization and importantly don't match
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43 other expected signatures like gamma ray
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46 emissions what makes this discovery
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47 particularly intriguing is that it
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 suggests we might have been looking for
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51 dark matter in the wrong way instead of
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54 focusing solely on gravitational effects
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56 we might be able to detect dark matter
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58 through its subtle influence on Cosmic
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00 chemistry it's like finding Footprints
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02 in the Sand while we can't see the
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04 person who made them we can study their
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07 impact on the environment the research
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08 team's calculations show that this
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10 lighter form of Dark Matter fits
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13 perfectly within existing constraints
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15 without contradicting other observations
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 from Gamay telescopes or the cosmic
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20 microwave background this is remarkably
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21 rare in Dark Matter research where
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 proposed explanations often conflict
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26 with existing data looking ahead NASA's
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29 upcoming COI gamma ray telescope
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 scheduled for launch in 2027 could
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33 provide crucial evidence to support or
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36 challenge this theory if confirmed this
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38 discovery would open an entirely new
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40 Avenue for studying Dark Matter
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43 fundamentally changing our approach to
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44 understanding the mysterious substance
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47 that makes up 85% of the matter in our
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50 universe this represents a potential
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 paradigm shift in Dark Matter research
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 suggesting that the key to understanding
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56 this elusive substance might lie not in
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59 its gravitational effects but in its
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01 subtle chemical influence on the very
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02 fabric of our
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05 galaxy in an important development for
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 NASA's Artemis program the upper stage
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10 for the Artemis 2 SLS rocket arrived at
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13 Kennedy Space Center on March 4th this
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 crucial component known as the interim
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18 cryogenic propulsion stage was delivered
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 by Boeing and United launch Alliance to
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23 the multi-payload processing facility
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25 the delivery marks another significant
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27 step forward in NASA's mission to return
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30 humans to the Moon this four-story
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33 propulsion system powered by an rl10
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35 engine will play a vital role in the
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37 mission profile after launch it will
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39 provide the Orion spacecraft with the
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41 necessary thrust to complete two orbits
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43 around Earth before embarking on its
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46 Journey To The Moon technicians at the
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47 processing facility will now begin the
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49 meticulous work of preparing the upper
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51 stage for integration with the rest of
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54 the SLS rocket their first task will be
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56 fueling the stage with hydrazine for its
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58 reaction control system once this is
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00 complete the component will be
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 transported to the Vehicle Assembly
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 Building where it will be integrated
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07 with other elements of the rocket a top
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10 mobile launcher one the assembly process
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12 is already well underway with the solid
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14 rocket booster segments already in place
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17 the core stage will soon be integrated
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18 followed by the launch vehicle stage
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21 adapter the upper stage will then be
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23 carefully mated to this adapter bringing
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 us one step closer to launch this
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 Milestone delivery demonstrates the
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29 steady progress being made on the art of
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31 2 mission which will be the first crude
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34 mission of NASA's new moon exploration
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 program each component that arrives at
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38 Kennedy Space Center brings us closer to
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41 the historic moment when humans will
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43 once again Venture Beyond low earth
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45 orbit and return to lunar
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47 space SpaceX has been experiencing an
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49 uncharacteristically challenging start
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52 to 2025 facing a series of technical
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53 issues despite maintaining their
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55 position as the world's leading launch
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57 provider while the company continues to
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59 demonstrate remarkable launch fre
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01 frequency recent events suggest they may
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04 be approaching their operational limits
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06 several notable incidents have raised
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09 concerns the sphere X Mission originally
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11 scheduled for late February has faced
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13 nearly two weeks of delays due to
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15 integration problems though to be fair
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17 the latest delay is due to weather and
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20 even SpaceX can't control that more
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21 seriously there have been issues with
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24 the Falcon 99's first stage including a
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26 recent launch where a fuel leak led to a
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28 post Landing fire that caused the
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31 booster to topple on the Drone ship this
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32 marks the second Landing failure in just
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35 6 months following a similar engine
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37 compartment fire last August the company
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39 has also encountered recurring problems
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42 with the Falcon 99's upper stage in
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44 early February a failed deorbit burn
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46 resulted in propellant tanks crashing
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49 into Western Poland while fortunately no
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51 one was harmed this marked the third
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54 upper stage issue in half a year adding
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56 to these challenges spacex's Starship
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58 vehicle has experienced two consecutive
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01 test flight failures with both attempts
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03 ending in spectacular explosions over
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04 the
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 Bahamas however it's important to put
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08 these setbacks in perspective SpaceX
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10 maintains an impressive success rate in
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 delivering payloads to orbit with only
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 one operational payload loss in nearly a
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16 decade their launch Cadence remains
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19 unmatched globally with 27 missions
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21 already completed this year outpacing
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23 the combined total of all other launch
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24 providers
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27 worldwide these recent challenges may be
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28 indicating the natural consequences
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 oface spx's aggressive pace and
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 ambitious goals the company is
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35 simultaneously managing the world's
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37 busiest launch schedule operating a
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39 massive satellite constellation
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41 conducting human space flight missions
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43 and developing the largest rocket ever
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46 built this combination of high
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48 operational Tempo and continuing
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50 Innovation appears to be testing the
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52 limits of what's currently possible in
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54 commercial space flight these Growing
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56 Pains come at a crucial time as SpaceX
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 Remains the Western world's Sole
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00 Provider of human access to orbit and
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02 the primary launch vehicle for NASA's
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 science missions while these recent
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06 issues haven't compromised their
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09 dominant position in the industry they
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11 serve as a reminder that even the most
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13 successful space company must carefully
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15 balance speed and
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17 reliability and that's all for today's
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20 episode of astronomy daily we've covered
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21 some fascinating developments from
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23 surprising discoveries about io's
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26 interior to the intense launch schedule
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28 ahead and spacex's current challenges as
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30 they push the boundaries of commercial
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32 space flight if you'd like to stay up to
