SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 122

*The Sun's Most Powerful Solar Flare in Over a Decade

The Sun has unleashed its most powerful solar flare in more than a decade, with a spectacular X9.1 class event. This massive solar flare, part of a pair that erupted just two days apart, was detected by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The event sparked strong G3 class geomagnetic storms, causing auroral activity to reach mid-latitudes and triggering deep shortwave radio blackouts. Solar flares, like this one, can have significant impacts on Earth's atmosphere, communications, and power grids.

*Ceres: A Former Ocean World?

New research suggests that the dwarf planet Ceres may have once been an ocean world. The study, published in Nature Astronomy, indicates that Ceres has a dirty icy crust, suggesting a past filled with muddy oceans. Computer simulations reveal that the crust may contain up to 90% ice, challenging previous assumptions of a drier Ceres. The findings are based on data from NASA’s Dawn mission, which observed surface features like volcanoes and glaciers.

*NASA's Europa Clipper Mission

NASA’s Europa Clipper mission is set for launch to explore Jupiter's ice-covered moon, Europa. The mission aims to investigate the moon's potential for life, with a suite of nine scientific instruments on board. These tools will study Europa's icy crust, subsurface ocean, and surface composition. The spacecraft will perform 49 flybys of Europa, gathering data to help scientists understand the moon’s habitability and its potential for hosting life.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 this is spacetime series 27 episode 122

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 will broadcast on the 9th of October

00:00:06 --> 00:00:10 2024 coming up on SpaceTime the sun

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 unleashes its most powerful solar flare

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15 in more than a decade a new study shows

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 that dwarf planet series may have once

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20 been an ocean world and NASA's European

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 Clipper Mission slated for launch

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26 tomorrow all that and more coming up on

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30 SpaceTime welcome to SpaceTime with

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 Stewart

00:00:31 --> 00:00:38 [Music]



00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 Gary the sun has just emitted its most

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51 powerful solar flare in more than a

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 decade it was one of a pair of solar

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 flares that erupted just 2 days apart

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57 which were the most powerful in the

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00 current solar cycle the big was a

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 spectacular X 9.1 class event which it

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 closed to the top of the energy scale

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08 and it h a coronal mass ejection

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 directly towards the Earth the powerful

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14 blast was generated by the same AR 3842

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16 Sunspot Group which had earlier launched

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19 an x7.1 class flare the second strongest

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 solar flare of the current solar cycle

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 both were detected by NASA's Solar

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28 Dynamics Observatory spacecraft the x7.1

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 class event hit the Earth on octo

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32 October the 4th is a mild Halo chronal

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 mass ejection and the more powerful

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37 x99.1 blast hit on October the 6th the

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40 Dual impact spark strong G3 class

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43 geomagnetic storms with auroral activity

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 reaching mid latitudes radiation from

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 the flares ionized the top of Earth's

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 atmosphere causing deep shortwave radio

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53 blackouts solar flares a powerful burst

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55 of energy flung out into space as

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 magnetic field lines from deep inside

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 the Sun erupt out above the Sun surface

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 along sunspots and then snap releasing

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 energy in the process these events

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 classification as x-class flares

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 indicate that the most intense type of

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12 solar flare that's produced while the

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 numbers provide more information about

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 their strength solar flares are

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18 classified on a logarithmic scale

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21 similar to earthquakes and tornadoes if

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22 the events are strong enough and these

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 two were they can drag solar plasma and

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27 magnetic field into space with them

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30 that's a coronal mass ejection the space

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 weather events known as geomagnetic

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34 storms can damage even destroy

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36 spacecraft or at least they can shorten

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38 their lives by causing the Earth's

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40 atmosphere to expand and that increases

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 atmospheric drag on the spacecraft that

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 causes orbital Decay forcing the

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 satellites to use up more of their

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 Reserve fuel in order to maintain an

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 operational orbit geomagnetic storms can

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 also disrupt Communications and

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 navigation systems they black out power

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 grids On The Ground by overloading

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 Transformers and they can increase

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02 radiation levels for astronauts and even

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05 people in high altitude aircraft of

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06 course on the plus side they cause

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09 spectacular Aurora light displays

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11 usually at higher latitudes as the

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12 charged particles they bring travel

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 along the Earth's magnetic field lines

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 and excite atoms and molecules in the

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18 atmosphere triggering the Aurora

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21 Borealis and Aurora aralis the northern

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24 and southern lights our Sun's currently

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26 experiencing a massive increase in solar

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 activity as it moves towards the climax

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 of its 11 years solar cycle the current

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35 solar cycle number 25 began in 2019 and

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37 should reach solar maximum that's the

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39 climax of the cycle sometime in the next

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41 year or so at which point the sun's

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44 magnetic poles will quite literally flip

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 polarity with the North Pole becoming

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 South and the South Pole north that

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51 won't be the end of the solar storms but

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53 gradually over time they will start to

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55 decrease again until they reach solar

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59 minimum sometime around 2030 needless to

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02 say will will keep you informed this is

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 spacetime still to come a new study

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 claims the dwarf planet series May once

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09 have being in an ocean World although

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12 probably a somewhat muddy one and NASA's

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14 Europa Clipper mission of the Jian ice

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17 Moon slated for launch tomorrow all that

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21 and more still to come on SpaceTime

00:04:21 --> 00:04:35 [Music]

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 a new study claims the dwarf planet

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40 series May once have been an ocean world

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43 that slowly morphed into a giant muddy

00:04:43 --> 00:04:47 icy orb since it's the discovery in 1801

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49 astronomers and planetary scientists

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 have ped the makeup of this distant

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 Frozen World which is the largest spot

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 in the main asteroid built between Mars

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59 and Jupiter the 950 km wide dwarf planet

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02 has surface features like volcanoes

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 landslides and Glaciers and a heavily

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 battered and dimpled surface covered

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09 with impact graters and that suggests

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 the W hasn't been resurfaced in recent

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 history and therefore it could have been

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17 very icy in the past however a new study

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19 reported in the journal Nature astronomy

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21 suggests that Series has a rather dirty

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24 icy crust meaning it may once have been

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28 an ocean world if a somewhat muddy one

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30 the findings are based on computer

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32 simulations which examined how crators

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34 on series deformed over billions of

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37 years one of the studies authors Mike

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39 Sor from puru University says there

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41 appears to have been lots of water ice

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44 near sir surface and that it appears to

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46 get gradually less icy the deeper and

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49 deeper you go sari says people used to

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51 think that if siries was very icy the

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54 creators would deform quickly over time

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56 like glaciers flowing on Earth or like

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59 gooey flowing honey however these new

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01 simulation have shown that ice can be

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03 much stronger in conditions on series

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 than previously predicted if you mix in

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07 just a little bit of solid rock the

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09 team's discover is contradictory to the

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 previous belief that series was

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14 relatively dry the common assumption was

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17 series was less than 30% ice but s's

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 team now believes the surface is

00:06:19 --> 00:06:23 actually more like 90% ice s says series

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25 used to be an ocean world like Europa

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 the Jovian ice Moon which contains a

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29 global subsurface liquid water ocean

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32 bene its frozen crust however series had

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35 a dirty muddy ocean as that muddy ocean

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39 froze over time it created an icy crust

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40 with a little bit of Rocky material

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43 trapped in it now even solids will flow

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46 over long time scales and Ice flows more

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49 readily than Rock craters have deep

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51 bowls which produce high stress levels

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53 and then relax to a lower stress State

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55 resulting in a shallower bowl thanks to

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58 a solid state flow so the conclusion

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00 after Nas's Dawn

00:07:00 --> 00:07:01 was that due to the lack of relaxed

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03 shallow craters the crust couldn't be

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06 very icy however the new computer

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08 simulations account for a new way the

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10 ice can flow with only a little bit of

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12 non ice material mixed in and that would

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15 allow a very icer crust to barely flow

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18 even over billions of years and in that

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20 way you could end up with an ice Rich

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22 series that still matches the observed

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24 lack of crater

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26 relaxation to reach their conclusions

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28 the authors tested different crustal

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31 structures and they simulations they

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33 found that gravitational crust with a

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 high ice content near the surface that

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38 grades down to lower ice with depth was

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40 the best way to limit relaxation of

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44 Syrian craters back in September 2007

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46 NASA launched the dawn mission to visit

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 series and another mainbuilt asteroid

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51 called Vesta it was the first spacecraft

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54 to go into sustained orbits around two

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57 separate extraterrestrial destinations

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00 Dawn arrived at Series in 2015 and

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01 remained in orbit studying the dwarf

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04 planet until 2018 the authors used

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06 multile observations made by Ador to

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08 provide the data they needed for their

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11 simulations different surface features

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13 such as pets domes and landslides all

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 suggest that the near subsurface of

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18 series contains lots of ice and

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 spectroscopic data also shows that there

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 should be ice beneath the regolith on

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25 the dwarf planet and gravity data yields

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27 a density value near that of ice

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29 specifically ice loaded with with

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32 impurities the authors also took a

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33 topographical profile of an actual

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36 complex crater on series and used it to

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38 construct the geometry for some of their

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41 simulations Sor says it all points to

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 the dwarf planet having once been a

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46 frozen ocean World pretty close in many

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49 characteristics other than size to the

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50 planet Earth

00:08:50 --> 00:08:54 itself this is spacetime still to come

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57 NASA's Europa Clipper mission seled for

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00 launch to the Jian ice moon tomorrow and

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 later in the science report researchers

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 have for the first time mapped the

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07 entire brain of tropus the fruit fly all

00:09:07 --> 00:09:12 that and more still to come on

00:09:12 --> 00:09:24 [Music]

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27 SpaceTime NASA's Europa Clipper mission

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29 is sled for launch to the Jovian is moon

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32 during a 21-day launch window which

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34 opens tomorrow the

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37 3 kg spacecraft is the largest

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 planetary Mission ever undertaken by the

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 space agency it launched from the

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44 Kennedy Space Center in Florida a a

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 SpaceX Falcon heavy rocket comprising

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49 three Falcon 9 cor stages mounted side

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52 by side if all goes well the spacecraft

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55 will reach the Jovian system in April

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57 2030 on board will be nine science

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00 instruments designed to understand the

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03 nature of this 3 km wide Frozen

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05 world and the global liquid ocean

00:10:05 --> 00:10:08 beneath its icy crust the mission is

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10 designed to help scientists better

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12 understand the potential for life on

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15 other worlds its instruments include a

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17 mapping Imaging infrared spectrometer

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20 that'll map IES salts and Organics as

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22 well as warm spots on Europa that could

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24 be suggesting habitability it'll also

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27 reveal how material is exchanged between

00:10:27 --> 00:10:30 the Surface ice and the ocean below

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32 there's a tetracorder which will provide

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35 rapid analysis of europa's composition a

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37 thermal emissions Imaging system will

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38 map the temperature and texture of

00:10:38 --> 00:10:41 youropa surface looking for clues about

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43 activity such as icy geyes and regions

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 where the moon suspected ocean may be

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47 nearer the surface there's an

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49 UltraViolet spectrograph which will

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51 study europa's atmospheric and surface

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54 composition it'll provide special focus

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55 on the plumes that may be erupting from

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57 the ocean beneath the ice its

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 measurements are especially sensitive to

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02 detecting Vapor plumes that could be

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04 difficult to spot using other techniques

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 the instrument will also study

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08 interactions between europa's thin

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10 atmosphere and charged particles in

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 space these interactions can make

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15 europa's atmosphere glow in ultraviolet

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18 very much like auror on Earth then

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20 there's the Europa Imaging system it'll

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22 use visible light cameras to generate

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25 high resolution maps of europa's surface

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27 covering about 90% of its surface at 100

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30 m per pixel that a equates to six times

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32 more of Europa surface and five times

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34 better resolution than has ever been

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37 captured before and when the spacecraft

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39 makes a close flyby of Europa the

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40 instrument will produce images with a

00:11:40 --> 00:11:43 resolution 100 times better its

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45 three-dimensional views will also allow

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 scientist to measure surface Heights and

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49 its color images will provide

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51 information about europa's surface

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53 material another part of the spacecraft

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56 scientific package is a dual frequency

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 ice penetrating radar instrument it'll

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00 characterize and sound europa's icy

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02 crust from near the surface right down

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04 to the ocean in the process revealing

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06 the hidden structure of europa's ice

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08 shell and potential water Pockets within

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11 it it'll also probe the exosphere the

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13 surface and near surface and the full

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15 depth of the ice shell itself right down

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17 to the ice ocean interface which could

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20 be up to 30 km deep the Europa Clipper

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22 magnetometer will be used to

00:12:22 --> 00:12:23 characterize magnetic fields around

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26 Europa using three magnetic flux Gates

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28 placed along an 8 m boom which will be

00:12:28 --> 00:12:29 stowed during the launch and then

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33 deployed Once In Flight by studying the

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35 strength and orientation of europa's

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37 magnetic field over multiple flybys

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39 scientists hope to be able to confirm

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41 the existence of europa's subsurface

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43 ocean as well as characterize the

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45 thickness of its icy crust and it

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47 measure the water's depth and solinity

00:12:48 --> 00:12:49 there's a plasma magnetic sounding

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52 instrument aboard as well it'll measure

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54 plasma to characterize the magnetic

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57 fields generated by plasma currents

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59 these plasma currents match the magnetic

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00 induction response of europa's

00:13:00 --> 00:13:03 subsurface ocean and in conjunction with

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05 the magnetometer it'll be key to

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07 determining europa's eye shell thickness

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10 ocean depth and solinity it'll also Pro

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12 the mechanisms responsible for

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14 weathering and releasing material from

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16 Europa surface into the atmosphere and

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18 ionosphere and understand how Europa

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20 influences its surrounding space

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22 environment and Jupiter's

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24 magnetosphere there's a mass

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25 spectrometer that will determine the

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27 composition of the surface and

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29 subsurface ocean by measuring europa's

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32 extremely tenuous atmosphere and any

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34 surface material ejected into space

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37 there's also a dust analyzer another

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38 type of mass spectrometer that will

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40 measure the composition of small solid

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43 particles ejected from Europa that'll

00:13:43 --> 00:13:44 provide an opportunity to directly

00:13:44 --> 00:13:47 sample the surface and potential plumes

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49 during low altitude flybys this

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51 instrument is also capable of

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52 identifying traces of organic and

00:13:52 --> 00:13:56 inorganic compounds in the ice ejector

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58 finally europic Clipper will use its

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00 radio anten to perform additional

00:14:00 --> 00:14:02 experiments and learn more about

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04 europa's gravitational field you see as

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07 the spacecraft performs each of its 45

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09 flybys its trajectory will be subtly

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12 altered by the moon's gravity Now by

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14 sending radio signals between the Earth

00:14:14 --> 00:14:16 and the moon and characterizing the

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18 Doppler shift in the return signal

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20 scientists should be able to create a

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22 detailed characterization of the

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24 spacecraft's motion and that data will

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26 help determine how Europa Flexes in

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28 relation to its distance from Jupiter

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30 which in turn will reveal information

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32 about the moon's internal structure and

00:14:32 --> 00:14:33 its tidal

00:14:33 --> 00:14:36 motions this report on Europa Clipper by

00:14:36 --> 00:14:40 NASA TV everywhere on Earth that there's

00:14:40 --> 00:14:44 water there's life we have several ocean

00:14:44 --> 00:14:47 worlds in our solar system and by

00:14:47 --> 00:14:50 exploring Europa we're getting a taste

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52 of what these ocean worlds are like

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54 Europa is one of the moons of Jupiter

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57 it's about the same size as our own Moon

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00 a little bit smaller but it's so much

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02 different it's an ice

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03 [Music]

00:15:03 --> 00:15:03 [Applause]

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06 [Music]

00:15:06 --> 00:15:10 World Europa probably has beneath its

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14 icy surface a global ocean of

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17 water we think there are thermal vents

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20 in this vast subsurface ocean there may

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23 be primitive organisms there similar to

00:15:23 --> 00:15:26 the original primitive organisms on

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28 Earth from which we all evolved when we

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30 first discovered hydrothermal vents on

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33 our seaf floors on the earth we also

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35 discovered life there was no sunlight

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37 that was penetrating down that deep but

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39 yet there was life living there on

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41 Europa we're not looking for life itself

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43 we're just looking for an environment in

00:15:43 --> 00:15:46 which life could Thrive I just love

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48 europa's surface I think it's one of the

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50 most complex surfaces in our solar

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51 system typically when you look at

00:15:51 --> 00:15:53 another planetary surface it's covered

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55 with craters just like our moon there

00:15:55 --> 00:15:58 are very few shockingly few impact

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59 craters

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01 so that means something is going on to

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04 erase the craters just like happens here

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05 on Earth and on Earth we call that

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07 geology one of the key questions right

00:16:07 --> 00:16:09 now that we have about Europa is whether

00:16:09 --> 00:16:12 or not there is plume activity plumes

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14 are one way that you can definitely get

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16 Ocean material to the surface we really

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18 need a spacecraft in the system that's

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20 watching Europa to see when those plumes

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23 are happening if they're happening the

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25 Europa Clipper Mission will be the first

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27 indepth

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30 exploration of an ocean

00:16:30 --> 00:16:33 World Europa Clipper is orbiting Jupiter

00:16:33 --> 00:16:36 and it's performing 49 flybys of Europa

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38 and the main reason it's doing that is

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41 to stay mostly outside of Jupiter's

00:16:41 --> 00:16:45 really intense radiation belts each time

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48 we make a flyby we turn on all of the

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50 instruments at once most of us know

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52 about cameras because that's what our

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55 eyes see but there is a whole slew of

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57 other instruments on board Europa

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00 Clipper that expands our vision we have

00:17:00 --> 00:17:02 four different instruments that we're

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04 really using to take images of europa's

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06 surface we have the visible wavelength

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09 the near infrared the far infrared and

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11 the UV the ultraviolet we're hoping to

00:17:11 --> 00:17:14 see evidence of change new cracks new

00:17:14 --> 00:17:16 Surface colors uh that indicate

00:17:16 --> 00:17:17 different materials maybe have moved

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20 around or come up from the subsurface we

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23 have an instrument that can sniff the

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26 very thin atmosphere the gases and

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29 determine the composition with extreme

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31 Precision we're looking for signs of

00:17:31 --> 00:17:35 Organics at Europa are there materials

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37 that contain carbon and hydrogen and

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39 oxygen and nitrogen and we have another

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41 instrument that can tell us the

00:17:41 --> 00:17:44 composition of dust particles we're

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46 pretty sure there are salts on europa's

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48 Surface and those salts may have come

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50 out of the ocean we want to understand

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52 what are those salts we have a

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54 magnetometer and a plasma instrument

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56 that are going to be studying that

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58 magnetosphere environment that Europa is

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00 sitting in and Jupiter's magnetosphere

00:18:00 --> 00:18:03 environment the magnetic field of Europa

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06 in turn can tell us about the properties

00:18:06 --> 00:18:09 of the ocean how thick is it and how

00:18:09 --> 00:18:12 salty is it and then we have this novel

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15 ice penetrating radar that will try to

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17 get below the ice

00:18:17 --> 00:18:20 shell last but not least we have a

00:18:20 --> 00:18:22 gravity experiment using the

00:18:22 --> 00:18:25 communication system of the spacecraft

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28 and from that we can get essentially a

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31 map of the gravity field we can get the

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33 shape understand you know what's

00:18:33 --> 00:18:34 underneath maybe even get some

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36 information on the depth of the ocean

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39 it's really a sophisticated payload so

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40 there really has not been a mission uh

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42 like Europa Clipper the pictures that we

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44 are going to get back are going to be

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46 just fantastic the legacy of Europa

00:18:46 --> 00:18:49 Clipper will be just a treasure Trove of

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51 knowledge about this this world just to

00:18:51 --> 00:18:54 find an environment that is similar to

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56 the one from which life arose on Earth

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58 would really be groundbreaking it would

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01 be awesome I have no idea what we are

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03 going to detect beneath europa's icy

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05 surface but all I know is it's going to

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08 be wonderful we do this work of

00:19:08 --> 00:19:11 exploration for the Next Generation we

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13 don't know if Earth is the only place

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16 that life got started or if it's really

00:19:16 --> 00:19:19 common and a really important way to get

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21 at that is to understand is there life

00:19:21 --> 00:19:25 elsewhere in our solar system

00:19:25 --> 00:19:35 [Music]

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37 and in that report from Nessa TV we

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39 heard from Europa Clipper project

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42 scientist Robert pepal from JPL Europa

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44 Clipper Deputy project scientist Bonnie

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46 buatti Europa clippa staff scientist

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56 JPL and Europa Clipper investigation

00:19:56 --> 00:20:00 scientist Shan Brooks this

00:20:00 --> 00:20:15 [Music]

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17 SpaceTime and time now to take another

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18 brief look at some of the other stories

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20 making news and science this week with a

00:20:20 --> 00:20:23 science report new figures show that

00:20:23 --> 00:20:26 more than 47 people suffered heat

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28 related deaths across Europe last year

00:20:28 --> 00:20:31 year the findings reported in the

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33 journal Nature are based on a modeling

00:20:33 --> 00:20:36 study by International researchers and

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37 they claim the figures would have been

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39 much higher if people didn't have

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41 modern-day health care and Comforts like

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43 air conditioning the authors reached

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45 their conclusions based on death data

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47 from the European statistical office

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49 that allowed them to estimate haat

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52 related deaths in 2023 across 35

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55 European countries the figures suggest

00:20:55 --> 00:20:56 that

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59 4731 12 heat related deaths may have

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01 happened between May 29th and October

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04 the 1st 2023 with the highest number of

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06 heat related deaths occurring in

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08 southern Europe the authors then

00:21:08 --> 00:21:09 estimated what the death rate would have

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12 been without modern day advantages that

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14 suggests that the heat related death

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16 rates across Europe could have been 80%

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19 higher in the general population and

00:21:19 --> 00:21:21 100% higher in the

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25 elderly a new study claims a mysterious

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27 type of iron rich magma ined within

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29 extinct volcanoes is likely to be

00:21:29 --> 00:21:32 abundant in Rare Earth elements the

00:21:32 --> 00:21:33 findings reported in the journal

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35 geochemical perspectives letters could

00:21:35 --> 00:21:38 offer a new way to Source these Metals

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40 Rare Earth elements are important to

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42 modern society they're found in

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44 everything from smartphones and flat

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47 screen TVs through to magnets trains and

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49 missiles they're also vital for the

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51 development of electric vehicles and

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53 Renewable Energy Technologies such as

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55 bird killing wind

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58 turbines scientists have for the first

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01 time map the entire brain of trop the

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04 fruit fly a report in the journal Nature

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05 claims this new map can teach

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08 researchers about brain function the

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10 authors say the fruit fly brain has

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12 around 140 neurons and more than 50

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15 million connections that's around a

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17 million times fewer neurons than most

00:22:17 --> 00:22:20 human brains they say despite its size

00:22:20 --> 00:22:22 the fruitfly brain is still used for a

00:22:22 --> 00:22:24 range of complex behaviors by the insect

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26 and that makes it an ideal starting

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27 point to help them towards their

00:22:27 --> 00:22:30 eventual goal of mapping other species

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32 including the human

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34 brain there'll be a new update for

00:22:34 --> 00:22:37 Windows 11 coming out next month with

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38 the details we're joined by technology

00:22:38 --> 00:22:41 editor Alex saharov Roy from Tech advice

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43 start life so this is called the windows

00:22:43 --> 00:22:48 11 24 H2 so the second half of 2024 and

00:22:48 --> 00:22:49 normally these things are not always

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51 bringing new features I mean sometimes

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53 they are obviously there's bug fixures

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55 but this time if you have a Windows plus

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57 co-pilot PC which is one of the new ones

00:22:58 --> 00:22:59 with the the chip inside that does the

00:22:59 --> 00:23:02 artificial intelligence with the neural

00:23:02 --> 00:23:05 Processing Unit you'll get new recall

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07 feature in preview which take

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08 screenshots of everything that you're

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10 doing and uh allows you to search

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11 through those screenshots and actually

00:23:11 --> 00:23:12 interact with them you don't have to

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14 bring up the actual word or PDF document

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16 for example you can copy and paste text

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18 and copy images from it but you'll now

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19 have to have Windows hello or your

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21 fingerprint or a password to enable

00:23:21 --> 00:23:23 access to that nothing is much going

00:23:23 --> 00:23:26 back to Microsoft and uh there's

00:23:26 --> 00:23:27 additional features inside that

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29 basically take advantage of the fact

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31 that your AI chip can sit there and help

00:23:31 --> 00:23:34 you to remember things and find things

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36 that a normal search cannot and you can

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39 also pause the uh recall feature if

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40 you're going to sites where you don't

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42 want it to remember anything maybe your

00:23:42 --> 00:23:43 banking site for example or other sites

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45 that you're on and it's supposed to give

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48 your PC a photographic memory and it's

00:23:48 --> 00:23:49 actually quite a smart idea but the way

00:23:49 --> 00:23:50 that Microsoft rolled it out at first

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52 and basically promised security when

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54 nobody believed Microsoft can deliver a

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56 secure version of Windows naturally

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58 people were a bit concerned about about

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00 it and got paused and so this is meant

00:24:00 --> 00:24:02 to be coming in November one of the the

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04 big features there's also I thing called

00:24:04 --> 00:24:08 a click too feature so this is where you

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10 can take a snapshot like with the old

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12 fashioned Snipping Tool but now you can

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14 blur the background or raise objects on

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16 the photo so emulating some of those

00:24:16 --> 00:24:18 Photo Magic Eraser features that we see

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20 on the Samsung and Google phones and

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23 even now with iOS 18 on the Apple

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25 iPhones the windows Search tool itself

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27 in the past took whatever you said and

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29 if I couldn't find it it didn't show you

00:24:29 --> 00:24:30 any results but everybody knows if you

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32 go to Google and misspell a word it

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33 still finds what it is you're looking

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36 for and so the internal Windows search

00:24:36 --> 00:24:38 facility will finally get this sort of

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40 fuzzy intelligence that we're used to

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43 with using search engines photos and

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45 paint they're going to get more AI

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47 features AI enhancements and you can

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50 reimagine and enhance whole resolution

00:24:50 --> 00:24:53 low resolution photos like in those CSI

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54 type shows on TV where they're improving

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56 the resolution of someone's number plate

00:24:56 --> 00:24:57 way off in the distance well you'll get

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59 similar all sorts of capabilities you

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01 can reportedly increase the resolution

00:25:01 --> 00:25:03 by up to eight times with a little

00:25:03 --> 00:25:05 slider and the new processing unit will

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07 do that task for you so they're really

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10 trying to make you feel like your PC

00:25:10 --> 00:25:12 without AI features is going to be old

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14 they want you to upgrade and uh no

00:25:14 --> 00:25:15 surprise there everyone's doing the same

00:25:15 --> 00:25:18 thing my Apple the Mac OS seoa now has a

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20 bunch of AI features built in the Google

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22 phones are all coming with Gemini which

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24 is their version of AI and the the use

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26 cases are coming out quick and fast but

00:25:26 --> 00:25:28 still for most people who haven't used

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30 it yet they still sort of yet to try it

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32 and see the well for themselves but

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34 pretty soon every device will just come

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36 with AI standard and we'll have the prei

00:25:36 --> 00:25:39 era and post AI era and we're firmly

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41 into that now and all the companies want

00:25:41 --> 00:25:42 your job great but of course if you wait

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44 until next year you get even better PC

00:25:44 --> 00:25:45 smartphones and tablets with even better

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47 AI feature I had an interesting

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49 experience day before yesterday I was uh

00:25:49 --> 00:25:52 organizing an interview and via email

00:25:52 --> 00:25:53 and in the email one line I said was

00:25:54 --> 00:25:55 I'll give you all the details in the

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57 attachment that was all I said and I was

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59 just about to send the off and then

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01 Outlook reminded me you haven't added

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03 your attachment yet so it was obviously

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05 watching what I was doing no look yes or

00:26:05 --> 00:26:08 no I mean I've seen Google do that as

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10 well and the trigger is the word

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11 attachment I have an attachment and then

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13 if the email program sees well hang on

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15 there's no attachment attached to this

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17 email I mean it says well hey hang on

00:26:17 --> 00:26:18 you mentioned an attachment in your

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20 email but you haven't sent one I don't

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21 think it's actually going through your

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24 email and look I I I didn't mind because

00:26:24 --> 00:26:26 I had forgotten to add the attachment

00:26:26 --> 00:26:28 but it was still disconcerting for me I

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29 guess it's going to become a lot more

00:26:29 --> 00:26:30 disconcerting in the future when your

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32 computer actually is reading and

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33 understanding what it is you're saying

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34 at the moment it's just a trigger for

00:26:35 --> 00:26:36 the word attachment and and it's like

00:26:36 --> 00:26:37 it's like a new fense statement you know

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39 if the user said attachment and there's

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41 no actual attachment file you know

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43 attached to this email then send a

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45 little popup to the user and I've seen

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47 that for the last few years on Gmail and

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48 I haven't been using notbook for a long

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50 time because I just I defected to Gmail

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52 hav't been very happy ever since but uh

00:26:52 --> 00:26:53 it's nice to hear that the Outlook has

00:26:53 --> 00:26:55 finally caught up and it's offering this

00:26:55 --> 00:26:57 as a useful service that's Alex Sahara
