00:00:42 --> 00:00:44 universe so buckle up and get ready for

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46 a cosmic Adventure as we explore the

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 wonders of our universe together on

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 astronomy

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 daily let's turn our attention to one of

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 the most intriguing stars in our night

00:00:54 --> 00:00:58 sky Beetle juu this red super giant the

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 10th brightest star visible from Earth

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02 has been puzzling astronomers with its

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 peculiar behavior in recent years now

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 scientists have come up with a

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08 fascinating new theory that might

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 explain its mysterious dimming and

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13 brightening between November 2019 and

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16 March 2020 Beetlejuice visibly dimmed

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18 leading to speculation that it might be

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20 on the verge of going Supernova then

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 just a couple of years later it suddenly

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25 brightened by 50% these dramatic

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27 fluctuations left astronomers scratching

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30 their heads enter the latest hypothesis

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 Beetlejuice might have a companion

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33 that's right this Cosmic giant may not

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36 be flying solo after all scientists have

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37 affectionately dubbed this potential

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40 Stellar sidekick Beetle buddy according

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 to a study accepted for publication in

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45 the astrophysical journal researchers

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47 have ruled out every intrinsic source of

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 variability they could think of to

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 explain beetlejuice's recent Antics the

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 only hypothesis that seemed to fit was

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55 the presence of a companion star

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 computer simulations suggest that if

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 Beetle buddy exists it acts like a cel

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 snow plow as it orbits Beetle Juice it

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 pushes dust out of the way temporarily

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06 making Bal juice appear brighter to us

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 here on Earth while we don't know for

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11 certain what battal buddy might be the

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12 best guess is that it's a star about

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 twice the mass of our sun some

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16 researchers even speculate it could be a

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19 neutron star though that's a more exotic

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21 and less probable scenario this

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23 companion star Theory not only helps

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 explain Beetle Juice's recent Behavior

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26 but could also provide insights into the

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29 Stars pulsations Beetle juu has two

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31 distinct pulses one about 6 years long

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33 and another just over a year

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 understanding which of these is the

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 Stars fundamental mode could help

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38 astronomers predict when Beetlejuice

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 might go

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42 supernova the next step for astronomers

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43 is to try and observe Bal buddy directly

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 using a telescope this potential

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 companion star if confirmed could prompt

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50 us to reconsider our understanding of

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53 neutron stars and their behavior it's a

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54 reminder that even well-known stars like

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56 Beetlejuice can still hold Secrets

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57 waiting to be

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 uncovered next up let's get update from

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03 Mars the favorite planet of many of you

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05 NASA's perseverance Rover has been

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06 making steady progress in its

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08 challenging Ascent of the jazero Crater

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11 Rim on Mars over the past week the Rover

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13 has been carefully navigating the Steep

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15 terrain which is composed of loose

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18 Martian soil called regolith this makes

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20 the climb particularly tricky as the

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21 Rover's Wheels tend to slip on the

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24 steepest sections to overcome these

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26 obstacles the science and engineering

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 teams at Nasa are working closely

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 together to plan slow careful drives

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33 they've identified a relatively clear

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35 path up the Crater Rim which they've

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37 aptly named Summerland Trail after a

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39 popular hiking trail on Mount rineer

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42 back on Earth as perseverance makes its

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44 way along this Trail it's not just

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 focused on the climb the Rover is

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 constantly observing its surroundings

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50 using its Advanced instruments to study

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52 the Martian landscape the supercam and

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54 Mast cam Z have been busy capturing

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56 images of rocks on the ground and on a

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59 distant Hill called Crystal Creek

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01 but that's not all perseverance has also

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04 been turning its gaze Skyward last week

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06 the mcam Z camera captured stunning

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09 images of Phobos one of Mars Two Moons

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11 as it transited in front of the sun this

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13 Celestial observation adds another layer

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15 to the Rover's scientific repertoire the

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 Rover's next Target is an outcrop of

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19 rocks called Pico turino here the

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21 science team plans to conduct detailed

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24 studies using the pxl instrument and the

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26 newly reactivated Sherlock these

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28 instruments will provide valuable data

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29 about the composition and structure of

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31 of the Martian rocks potentially

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 offering new insights into the planet's

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35 geological history despite the

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 excitement of reaching the ancient

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 stratigraphy exposed in the Crater Rim

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42 the Mars 2020 team is maintaining a

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 steady focus on documenting the current

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47 surroundings while carefully navigating

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48 this challenging

00:04:48 --> 00:04:51 Ascent next a discovery that has

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 astronomers scratching their heads and

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 say now what in a groundbreaking

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57 discovery astronomers have stumbled upon

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59 a cosmic radio pulse that's un like

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02 anything we've ever seen before this

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 newly detected radio transient named AAP

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 J

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08 1 plus

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11 2 has a cycle of nearly an hour

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14 making it the longest ever recorded

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15 typically when we point our radio

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18 telescopes into space we detect brief

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19 bursts of radio waves from distant parts

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22 of the universe these bursts known as

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23 radio transients can behave in different

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26 ways some appear once and never return

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 While others blink on and off in regular

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30 patterns most of these are believed to

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33 come from rotating neutron stars or

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35 pulsers which emit consistent pulses of

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38 radio waves like Cosmic lighthouses but

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41 ASCAP J

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43 1 plus

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46 2 is something entirely different

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49 its 53.8 minute cycle is far longer than

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51 anything we've observed before what's

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53 even more intriguing is that this

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56 Celestial odity exhibits three distinct

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58 States in one state it produces bright

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01 linearly polar ized pulses lasting up to

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03 50 seconds in another it emits much

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 weaker circularly polarized pulses

00:06:05 --> 00:06:09 lasting only about 370 monds and in its

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10 third state it goes completely quiet

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13 with no detectable pulses at all so what

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15 could be causing this bizarre behavior

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17 scientists are still scratching their

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 heads but the prime suspect is a slow

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22 spinning neutron star however our

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23 current understanding of neutron stars

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25 suggests they shouldn't be able to have

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 such a long period another possibility

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29 is that it could be a white dwarf the

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 Earth sized remnant of a burnt-out star

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33 but white dwarfs aren't known to produce

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35 radio signals like this the discovery of

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37 aspj

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39 1 plus

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42 2 might prompt us to reconsider our

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43 decades old understanding of neutron

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46 stars and white dwarfs it could provide

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47 valuable insights into the physics of

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 these extreme objects and how they emit

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52 radio waves what's particularly exciting

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 is that there might be many more objects

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56 like this out there waiting to be

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58 discovered we were quite fortunate to

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00 catch sight of ASCAP J

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03 1 plus

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06 2 given that its radio emissions are

00:07:06 --> 00:07:07 only detectable for a tiny fraction of

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10 its rotation period as we continue to

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13 explore the cosmos discoveries like this

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15 remind us that the Universe still has

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 plenty of surprises in store they

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18 challenge our existing theories and push

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 us to expand our understanding of the

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24 cosmos now let's turn our attention to a

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25 critical issue facing one of the world's

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28 leading space agencies a recent report

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30 by the US national cies of Sciences

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 engineering and medicine has raised some

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 serious concerns about NASA's future

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38 titled NASA at a Crossroads this report

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40 doesn't mince words about the challenges

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43 ahead the report identifies several key

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44 issues that NASA needs to address

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46 urgently these include outdated

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 infrastructure pressure to prioritize

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51 short-term goals budget mismatches and

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54 inefficient management practices it also

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56 points out that NASA's Reliance on

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58 Commercial Partners may not always be

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00 strategic what's particularly striking

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02 is the report's recommendation that NASA

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04 should rebalance its priorities it

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06 suggests increasing investments in

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08 facilities expert Workforce and

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10 cuttingedge Technology development even

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12 if it means delaying the start of New

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14 Missions this is a bold stance that

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16 underscores the severity of the

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19 situation the environment in which NASA

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21 operates has become increasingly complex

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23 rapid technological advancements

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24 competition for talent with the

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26 commercial space sector and a declining

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29 Federal discretionary budget are all

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31 putting pressure on the agency add to

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32 this the lack of timely Congressional

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35 authorization acts and increasing

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37 competition from countries like China

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38 and you can see why NASA is at a

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41 Crossroads the report's authors led by

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43 former Lockheed Martin CEO Norm

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45 Augustine emphasize that this is not a

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48 time for business as usual they argue

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50 that NASA's continued success is at risk

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52 due to the mismatch between its budget

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55 and its programs a focus on short-term

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58 objectives and aging infrastructure what

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00 does this mean for the future of space

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 exploration well it's clear that tough

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 decisions lie ahead NASA may need to

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06 make some difficult choices about which

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08 missions to prioritize in which to delay

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10 or cancel the agency might also need to

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12 redirect funds from exciting new

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14 projects to less glamorous but essential

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15 infrastructure

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18 upgrades this situation raises important

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19 questions about how we as a society

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21 value space exploration and scientific

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24 research are we willing to invest in the

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26 long-term health of our space program

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28 even if it means fewer headline grabbing

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 missions in the short term the answers

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32 to these questions will shape the future

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34 of space exploration for years to

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37 come the James web Space Telescope has

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 once again pushed the boundaries of our

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 understanding of the early Universe in a

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43 groundbreaking discovery astronomers

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45 have used the telescope to peer back an

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48 astounding 13 billion years revealing

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50 surprisingly lonely super massive black

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53 holes powering ancient quers this

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54 finding has left scientists scratching

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57 their heads you see these isolated black

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59 holes shouldn't have been able to grow

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01 to such enormous sizes especially when

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03 the universe was just a few hundred

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05 million years old it's like finding a

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07 fully grown adult in a nursery it just

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09 doesn't add up the team studied five of

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12 the earliest known quizar formed when

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14 the cosmos was a mere infant at 600 to

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16 700 million years old what they found

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18 was puzzling the environments around

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 these quers called quazar Fields varied

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23 widely some were packed with galaxies as

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24 expected but others were surprisingly

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27 empty lacking the cosmic Buffet needed

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28 to feed a growing super massive black

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30 hole

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31 this discovery challenges our current

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33 models of how these Cosmic Giants came

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36 to be previously we thought super

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38 massive black holes needed densely

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40 populated neighborhoods to grow

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43 rapidly but now it seems some of these

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 ancient behemoths were sitting in Cosmic

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47 deserts with little to no Galactic

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50 company the implications of this finding

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52 are far-reaching it forces us to

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54 reconsider our theories about black hole

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57 growth and even Galaxy formation itself

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58 the current understanding involves a

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01 vast Cosmic web of Dark Matter guiding

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03 the formation of early galaxies and

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05 quazars but these lonely quazars don't

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07 quite fit into that picture so what's

00:11:07 --> 00:11:10 going on well one possibility is that

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 these quazars are surrounded by Cosmic

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 dust hiding their Galactic Neighbors

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17 from view alternatively there might be

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20 entirely new mechanisms at play allowing

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22 these black holes to grow rapidly even

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23 in

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25 isolation as we continue to explore the

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27 early Universe with the James web Space

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30 Telescope we're bound to cover more

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32 surprises each new discovery brings us

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34 closer to understanding The Cosmic Dawn

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36 but also reminds us how much we still

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37 have to learn about our vast and

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39 Mysterious

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41 Universe and that wraps up today's

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44 episode of astronomy daily we've covered

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45 some fascinating developments from

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 beetlejuice's potential companion star

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49 to the perseverance Rover's challenging

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52 climb on Mars we've also explored the

00:11:52 --> 00:11:53 discovery of the longest Cosmic radio

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56 pulse ever detected and discussed NASA's

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 current challenges finally we delved

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00 into the J web space telescopes

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02 surprising observations of ancient

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04 quazars if you're hungry for more space
