00:00:49 --> 00:00:50 Adventure that spans our solar system
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 and beyond this is astronomy daily and
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 I'm Anna your Guide to the wonders of
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 space let's get started in a remarkable
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 display of Space Walk prowess roscosmos
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 cosmonauts Alexi ovchinin and Ivan
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 Vagner successfully completed a
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 challenging 7-hour and 17-minute
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 spacewalk outside the International
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 Space Station on December 19th the
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 mission kicked off at 10:36 a.m. eastern
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 time with the pair tackling several
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 crucial tasks that will enhance our
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 understanding of the cosmos The Space
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23 Walk marked a significant milestone for
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 Vagner being his first Venture into the
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 vacuum of space while ainin added a
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 second space walk to his impressive
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 career together they executed a series
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 of complex operations that included the
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 installation of sophisticated experiment
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38 packages designed to monitor Celestial
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 x-ray sources providing scientists with
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 valuable data about some of the most
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 energetic phenomena in our
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48 universe during their time outside the
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 cosmonauts also focused on upgrading the
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 station's infrastructure setting up new
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54 electrical connector patch panels that
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55 will support future
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 operations they methodically worked
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 through their task list which included
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 the careful removal of outdated
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 experiments that had completed their
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07 scientific missions while the majority
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08 of their objectives were accomplished
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10 with Precision time constraints
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13 prevented them from completing one
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 secondary task the relocation of a
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 control panel for the European robotic
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 arm mounted on the NAA multi-purpose
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23 laboratory module however this
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 non-essential task didn't diminish the
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28 overall success of the mission this
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 spacewalk marks the 27 second in the
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 history of International Space Station
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34 operations continuing the legacy of
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37 human achievement in space and
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38 highlighting the ongoing International
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41 collaboration that keeps this orbital
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42 Outpost at the Forefront of space
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 research and
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47 exploration the be Columbo spacecraft
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49 has just achieved a remarkable milestone
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 in space exploration capturing mercury
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54 in mid infrared light for the first time
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56 in history during its fifth flyby of the
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 planet the spacecraft's Mercury
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 radiometer and thermal infrared
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03 spectrometer known as myus observed
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04 Mercury's Northern Hemisphere from a
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 distance of about
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09 23 mil offering scientists an
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10 entirely New Perspective on our Solar
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13 System's innermost Planet this
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15 groundbreaking observation is
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17 particularly significant because mid
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18 infrared light reveals crucial
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20 information about the mineral
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22 composition and temperature of Mercury's
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25 sunscorch surface the data collected is
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28 already providing tantalizing clues
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30 about the planet's geological history
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 and formation aspects that have long
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34 puzzled planetary scientists the
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 spacecraft's journey to Mercury is a
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39 masterpiece of orbital mechanics Bey
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41 Columbo is taking a complex spiral route
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44 through the inner solar system using the
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 gravitational pull of Earth Venus and
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 Mercury itself to gradually adjust its
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50 course this carefully choreographed
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52 Celestial dance will eventually allow
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54 the spacecraft to settle into its final
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57 orbit around mercury in late
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00 2026 one of the most intri ining aspects
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 of this latest flyby was mice'
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 observation of the caloris Basin a vast
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08 volcanic plane within an impact crater
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10 that experiences some of the most
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12 extreme temperature variations in the
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15 solar system the instrument also
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18 captured stunning views of boso crater
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 offering new insights into Mercury's
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23 impact history the science team has
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 spent years preparing for these
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 observations by studying how various
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30 minerals behave at Mercury's scorching
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34 temperatures often exceeding 750°
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36 F this extensive groundwork has created
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38 a detailed database of mineral
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41 signatures that scientists can now use
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43 to decode the composition of Mercury's
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46 surface features while this flyby images
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48 were taken from a considerable distance
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51 they're just a preview of what's to come
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 once Bey Columbo enters its final orbit
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 murdis will map Mercury's entire surface
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58 in unprecedented detail promising to
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59 revolutionize our understand
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 understanding of this Mysterious World
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02 closest to our
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05 sun meanwhile over on Mars in an
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08 exciting development NASA's perseverance
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10 Rover has achieved a historic Milestone
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12 becoming the first Rover to climb out of
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15 such a massive crater as jazero after 5
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17 months of steady climbing perseverance
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18 has finally reached the summit of
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21 Lookout Hill positioning itself about
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23 half a mile above the lowest point of
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25 its Traverse this achievement has given
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27 us unprecedented views of both the
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30 crater floor below and for the first
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33 time the vast expanse of Mars Neely Plum
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35 beyond the Crater Rim the Rover's
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37 powerful cameras can now analyze
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40 geological features up to 35 mil away
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42 including small details like Boulders
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44 flal bars and dunes at distances of more
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46 than 5 miles the journey to this point
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48 has been nothing short of remarkable
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50 perseverance methodically made its way
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52 past landmarks like Doc's castle and
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55 Pico turino stopping at strategic points
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 like farway rock to capture panoramic
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00 views of the crater floor the Rover's
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 recent progress has been impressive
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05 covering more than 820 ft in a single
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07 weekend as it approached the upper part
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10 of wit Hazel Hill the Rover is now
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12 operating in What's called the gromor
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14 quad named after a Canadian national
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17 park in New Finland its next destination
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 is a region named witch hazel Hill which
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21 presents exciting new opportunities for
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24 geological study unlike the Sandy
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25 terrain that dominated much of the
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28 Crater Rim climb this area appears to
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30 have significantly more Expos ed rock
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32 giving scientists a chance to directly
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 analyze the geological composition
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36 beneath the Rover's Wheels this
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38 exploration marks a pivotal moment in
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41 Mars research as perseverance Ventures
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42 into potentially some of the most
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45 ancient surface areas on the red planet
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47 the view from the Crater Rim isn't just
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 spectacular it's a gateway to
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50 understanding Mars geological history in
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53 ways we've never been able to
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55 before let's turn our attention to one
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57 of the most fascinating objects in our
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00 universe the brown dwarf these celestial
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02 bodies truly live up to their reputation
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05 as Cosmic Misfits occupying a unique
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07 position between planets and stars
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09 imagine something that's too big to be a
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12 planet but too small to be a proper star
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15 that's exactly what a brown dwarf is
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16 despite their name Brown dwarfs aren't
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19 actually Brown at all the younger larger
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 ones are surprisingly hot and radiant
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 glowing so brightly that they can be
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27 mistaken for red dwarf stars but as they
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30 age they transform shifting from fiery
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 red to magenta and eventually becoming
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 so dim that we can only detect them with
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38 our most sophisticated infrared
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40 telescopes what makes these objects
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42 particularly interesting is their
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 relationship with nuclear fusion while
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47 they can't sustain hydrogen Fusion like
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49 regular Stars they do get to experience
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52 a brief moment of Stellar glory in their
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55 cores they canuse dyum into helium 3
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58 releasing energy in the process but this
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00 Celestial light show is shortlived even
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02 the largest Brown dwarfs exhaust their
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05 dyum fuel within a few million years
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 here's something surprising despite
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09 having up to 80 times the mass of
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12 Jupiter Brown dwarfs aren't much larger
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14 in diameter than our Solar System's
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16 biggest gas giant this is because they
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18 lack the internal energy source that
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21 helps Stars maintain their size instead
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23 they rely on something called degeneracy
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25 pressure a Quantum force that
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27 essentially puts a limit on how compact
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30 they can become after after their brief
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32 Fusion phase ends Brown dwarfs spend the
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34 rest of their existence slowly cooling
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37 off as they wander through the Galaxy
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40 think of them as Cosmic Nomads carrying
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42 the remnant heat of their formation
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 gradually dimming over billions of years
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46 until they become invisible to all but
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49 our most sensitive instruments they're
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51 truly unique objects that help us
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53 understand the fine line between stars
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56 and planets and the incredible diversity
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59 of celestial bodies in our universe
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01 SpaceX has just Inked an exciting New
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 Deal that will see two more private
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06 astronaut missions heading to the
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08 International Space Station these
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11 missions will utilize spacex's tried and
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 tested combination of the Falcon 9
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16 rocket and crew Dragon capsule marking
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17 another significant step in the
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20 commercialization of space travel the
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23 missions were secured by vast space a
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 California based company with ambitious
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 plans of their own they're currently
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29 developing a private space station
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31 called called haven 1 which could be
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33 launching as early as next year this
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35 isn't just another space Venture it's
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 part of a larger strategy to position
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 themselves as a key player in the future
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42 of space exploration what makes this
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 particularly interesting is how it ties
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47 into NASA's broader plans for the future
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49 of the International Space Station as we
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52 look toward the iss's planned retirement
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55 in 2030 vas space is already thinking
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58 ahead with their Haven 2 design a more
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59 advanced version of their initial space
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01 station they're aiming to have their
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04 first module operational by 2028
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06 potentially providing a crucial bridge
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08 between the current ISS and whatever
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11 comes next while these private astronaut
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13 missions still need NASA's final
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15 approval they represent an important
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18 Trend in space exploration they're part
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 of a small but growing number of private
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23 missions to the ISS following in the
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25 footsteps of axium space which has
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27 already successfully completed three
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29 such missions with a fourth planned for
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32 next spring these developments highlight
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34 how quickly the landscape of space
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36 exploration is evolving with private
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38 companies taking on increasingly
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40 significant roles in what was once
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42 exclusively government territory
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45 spacex's consistent ability to secure
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47 these contracts demonstrates their
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49 pivotal role in making space more
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51 accessible while companies like vast
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53 space are pushing the boundaries of what
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 private Enterprise can achieve in
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58 orbit in an exciting development for
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59 space technology enthus iasts and
