00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 welcome to astronomy daily I'm your host

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 Anna and we've got a busy show today

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 exploring the latest developments in

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 space exploration and astronomy from

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 technical challenges facing newly

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 launched spacecraft to groundbreaking

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 plans for the future of space stations

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17 we're covering it all today we'll dive

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18 into the recent troubles faced by NASA's

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 lunar Trailblazer and the Odin

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 spacecraft following their launch and

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 we'll get you up to speed on spacex's

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 latest approval for their next Starship

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29 test flight we've also got fascinating

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30 new research about life aboard the

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 International Space Station that might

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 surprise you and some exciting updates

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 about Axiom space's ambitious plans to

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 create their own commercial space

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41 station but that's not all we've got

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42 some truly Cosmic news about our closest

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 Stellar neighbor Alpha centori and how

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47 it might be sending us some Interstellar

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50 visitors and for all you Sky Watchers

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52 out there we'll wrap up with a guide to

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 what you can spot in the March night sky

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 including some spectacular celestial

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59 events you won't want to miss so stick

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 around as we explore these stories and

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 more right here on astronomy daily let's

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 get started two spacecraft launched as

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09 part of the recent im2 lunar Mission are

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 experiencing significant challenges

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 NASA's lunar Trailblazer and the startup

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 AST forge's Odin spacecraft are both

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 facing communication issues after their

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20 deployment from the Falcon 9 rocket the

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 lunar Trailblazer initially powered up

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 and started transmitting as planned but

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27 about 12 hours after launch NASA lost

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30 all communication with the spacecraft

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 while contact was eventually restored

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 the team has detected concerning

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 intermittent power system issues

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38 controllers are now working to fully

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 restore commanding capabilities and

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 develop solutions for these power

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45 problems this is particularly crucial as

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46 the lunar Trailblazer has some

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49 time-sensitive Maneuvers ahead the

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50 spacecraft needs to perform two

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 trajectory Corrections before a lunar

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55 flyby scheduled for March 3rd followed

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 by another flyby in May if all goes

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 according to plan it should enter lunar

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 orbit in July where it will begin its

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 2-year Mission mapping water on the

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07 moon's surface meanwhile astrof forge's

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 Odin spacecraft designed to investigate

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12 metallic asteroids is facing its own set

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 of challenges while the team is

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15 receiving carrier signals from the

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17 spacecraft they haven't been able to get

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20 any Telemetry data this has left them in

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 a difficult position they know the

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 spacecraft is alive but they can't get

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 detailed information about its status

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28 the company is exploring several

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 possible explanations including ground

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 Network Hardware problems and potential

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 interference issues there's also a

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 possibility that Odin might be in an

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39 uncontrolled tumble though recent data

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42 suggests this is unlikely time is of the

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 essence for Odin as well without

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47 intervention from the ground the

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 spacecraft is programmed to perform an

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 automatic burn about 6 and a half days

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 after launch to set it on course for its

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 Target asteroid however even slight

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57 position errors could make tracking the

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00 spacecraft extremely challenging on a

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02 more positive note the third ride share

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04 spacecraft from the launch epic

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 aerospace's Chimera orbital transfer

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09 vehicle is reported to be healthy and

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11 operating normally the primary Mission

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14 vehicle intuitive machines im2 lunar

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 lander is also in excellent condition as

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 it continues its journey toward a

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22 planned March 6th moon

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25 landing next up a Starship launch update

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27 SpaceX has just received the green light

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29 from the Federal Aviation Administration

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31 for their e8th Starship test flight

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34 scheduled for Monday evening March 3rd

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37 the launch window opens at 6:30 p.m.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38 eastern time from their Starbase

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 facility in south Texas this approval

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 comes as SpaceX is still investigating

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45 what went wrong during flight 7 back in

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48 January while that mission achieved a

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50 significant Milestone by successfully

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52 catching the super heavy booster using

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54 the launch Tower's mechanical arms it

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56 ended prematurely when the upper stage

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58 experienced a propellant leak and

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02 exploded over the Atlantic Ocean the FAA

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 has determined that space X can proceed

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 with flight 8 while the investigation

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09 into January's mishap

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12 continues they've confirmed that the

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15 company has met all the necessary safety

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 environmental and licensing requirements

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20 for this suborbital test flight for

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 flight 8 SpaceX is aiming to replicate

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 the successful booster catch while

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26 pushing the envelope further with the

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29 upper stage the spacecraft will attempt

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31 a nearly complete orbit around Earth

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 before splashing down in the Indian

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36 Ocean off the coast of Western Australia

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37 one of the interesting aspects of this

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40 upcoming flight is the payload test the

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42 upper stage will carry four mock

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 starlink satellites which it will

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 attempt to deploy during its suborbital

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49 Journey this is fewer than the 10 dummy

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 satellites carried during flight 7 which

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 never got the chance to be deployed due

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56 to the premature end of that mission

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57 this test flight represents another

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00 crucial step in space X's ambitious

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02 development of the Starship system which

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 they Envision as the future Workhorse

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07 for both deep space exploration and

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09 point topoint travel on Earth each

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 flight provides valuable data and

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14 experience helping to refine and improve

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16 the world's largest and most powerful

00:05:16 --> 00:05:17 rocket

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19 system here's some fascinating news

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21 about life aboard the International

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23 Space Station and it turns out that

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26 being too clean might actually be a

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 problem a new study suggests that the

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31 ultra sterile environment of the ISS

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33 could be contributing to various health

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35 issues astronauts experience from

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38 persistent skin rashes to allergies and

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41 immune system problems scientists from

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43 the University of California San Diego

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46 have been analyzing over 800 surface

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48 samples from different areas of the

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50 space station what they found was that

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52 the extensive use of cleaning products

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54 and disinfectants might be creating an

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56 environment that's actually too clean

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58 for optimal human health the research

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 revealed that most most of the microbes

00:06:00 --> 00:06:03 present on the ISS come from human skin

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 with different areas showing distinct

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07 microbial communities based on their

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10 function the dining areas had more food

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12 related microbes while the bathroom

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14 unsurprisingly had its own unique

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17 bacterial signature what's notably

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 missing are the kind of beneficial

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21 microbes we normally encounter on Earth

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 from Soil and Water this sterile

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25 environment more closely resembles what

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 we see in highly industrialized spaces

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30 like hospitals rather than the diverse

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32 microbial environment humans evolved

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 alongside the scientists suggest that

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36 future space habitats might benefit from

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38 intentionally cultivating a more diverse

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41 microbial ecosystem essentially making

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44 them a bit dirtier in a controlled way

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46 they're even proposing some interesting

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48 Solutions like using probiotic based

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50 cleaning methods instead of harsh

00:06:50 --> 00:06:50 chemical

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53 disinfectants this could help create a

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54 healthier balance while still

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56 maintaining necessary cleanliness

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58 standards it's a crucial consideration

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00 as we plan for long longer duration

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02 space missions and eventual permanent

00:07:02 --> 00:07:05 settlements beyond Earth the findings

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06 highlight an important point about human

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09 space exploration we can't just take a

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11 small slice of Earth's ecosystem with us

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13 into space we need to think carefully

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14 about recreating the complete

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16 environmental conditions that help

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18 humans Thrive right down to the

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20 microscopic

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23 level next up in some exciting news

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25 about the future of commercial space

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28 stations axium space is revising its

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29 timeline to establish an independent

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 space station and it's happening sooner

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34 than initially planned the company

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36 working closely with NASA has announced

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38 they could have their station break free

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40 from the International Space Station as

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42 early as

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 2028 this accelerated timeline comes

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46 with a significant change to their

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49 assembly sequence instead of starting

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51 with their habitat 1 module as

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53 originally planned axium will first

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55 launch what they're calling the payload

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58 power and thermal module this strategic

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00 shift will allow to establish

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02 independent operations more quickly once

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04 the station achieves its free flying

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07 status axium will continue building out

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09 the facility adding their planned

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12 habitat modules an airlock and a

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14 dedicated research and Manufacturing

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16 facility this methodical approach

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18 ensures they can maintain continuous

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 operations while expanding their

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 capabilities the revised plan has been

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 carefully coordinated with NASA to

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26 ensure a smooth transition in low earth

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29 orbit operations it's particular LLY

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31 important as we approach the planned

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33 retirement of the International Space

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34 Station around

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37 2030 NASA sees this as a crucial step in

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39 maintaining their continuous presence in

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42 low earth orbit this development is part

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 of a broader strategy by NASA to support

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46 multiple commercial space stations

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48 through various Partnerships the agency

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50 is essentially fostering a new economic

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53 ecosystem in low earth orbit where

00:08:53 --> 00:08:54 commercial operators can provide

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57 services to both government and private

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59 customers looking at the bigger picture

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01 this accelerated timeline for axium

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03 station represents a significant

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05 milestone in the commercialization of

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08 space it's not just about replacing the

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10 ISS it's about expanding human presence

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13 in space and creating new opportunities

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15 for scientific research manufacturing

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 and Commercial activities in

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20 microgravity don't you just hate it when

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23 your neighbors turn out to be well not

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 quite as they seemed our nearest Stellar

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 neighbor Alpha centor appears to be

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29 sharing more with us than just it

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32 distant twinkle new research suggests

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35 this triple star system located just 4.3

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 light years away is likely sending a

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 steady stream of comets and asteroids

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42 into our solar system and might even be

00:09:42 --> 00:09:43 responsible for some of the meteors we

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46 see in our night sky according to

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 calculations by astronomers Cole Greg

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50 and Paul weert from the University of

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53 Western Ontario if Alpha centor has an

00:09:53 --> 00:09:55 or Cloud similar to our Suns

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58 approximately 1 million objects larger

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 than a football field from that system

00:10:00 --> 00:10:01 could currently be traveling through our

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04 solar system most of these objects would

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06 be lurking in the outer reaches well

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08 beyond Pluto's orbit mixing with our own

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11 ort Cloud objects the mechanism behind

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13 this Cosmic exchange is similar to how

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15 Jupiter's gravity helped launch our

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17 Voyager spacecraft into Interstellar

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20 space the stars of Alpha centor and

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22 their planets act like Cosmic slingshots

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24 occasionally throwing their comets and

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26 asteroids onto trajectories that bring

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28 them into our neighborhood While most of

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30 these visit visitors stay in the distant

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32 parts of our solar system some of the

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34 smaller particles make it all the way to

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37 Earth the researchers estimate that up

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39 to 10 meteors worldwide each year might

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42 originate from alpha centor this number

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45 could increase tfold when Alpha centor

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47 makes its closest approach to our solar

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50 system about 28 years from now when

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52 it will come within 3.2 light years of

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55 Earth This research reminds us that our

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57 solar system isn't an isolated island in

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00 space we're connect Ed to our Stellar

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02 neighbors through a constant exchange of

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03 material that's been ongoing for

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06 billions of years even though we've only

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08 officially detected two Interstellar

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10 visitors so far this study suggests

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 there might be many more out there

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15 silently passing through our Cosmic

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17 backyard now for those of you who like

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20 to look up into the sky March promises

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22 to be an exciting month for Sky Watchers

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23 with several captivating celestial

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26 events on display early in the month

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 Venus will be visible low in the Western

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30 sky after sun sunet though it will

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32 gradually sink lower as the days

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34 progress eventually becoming difficult

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37 to spot by mid Monon in the glow of

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39 Twilight Jupiter will command attention

00:11:39 --> 00:11:42 high in the Western sky after dark

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44 staying visible until about 1: a.m.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46 while Mars takes the Eastern stage after

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49 Sunset and remains visible until the

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52 early morning hours for those eager to

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54 spot the elusive Mercury the first week

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57 and a half of March offers an excellent

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59 opportunity particularly for Observers

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01 in the northern hemisphere look for it

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04 beneath Venus for about 30 minutes each

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07 evening as Sunset Fades the best viewing

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08 window will be from March 7th through

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11 9th approximately 30 minutes after

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13 Sunset you'll want to find a clear view

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15 of the western Horizon away from

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18 buildings and trees a large open field

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20 or Shoreline can provide ideal viewing

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21 conditions for catching this

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24 fleet-footed planet the month's headline

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26 event is undoubtedly the total lunar

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28 eclipse occurring overnight on March

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31 13th into the 14th during this

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33 spectacular show we'll watch as our moon

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36 transforms into a deep Crimson orb over

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39 several hours this Celestial phenomenon

00:12:39 --> 00:12:40 occurs as the moon passes through

00:12:40 --> 00:12:43 Earth's Shadow first appearing to have a

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45 bite taken from one side before being

00:12:45 --> 00:12:46 completely enveloped in that

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49 characteristic red glow this reddish

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51 color comes from all of Earth's sunrises

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52 and sunsets being projected onto the

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55 lunar surface at once for those

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57 interested in lunar phases March 14th

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59 brings us a full moon

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01 while the month concludes with a new

00:13:01 --> 00:13:04 moon on the 29th this new moon phase

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05 when the moon is positioned between

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08 Earth and the Sun offers excellent

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10 opportunities for observing faint

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12 celestial objects typically washed out

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14 by Moonlight making it an ideal time for

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17 stargazing and

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18 astrophotography and that wraps up

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20 another fascinating day of space

00:13:20 --> 00:13:23 exploration and astronomical discoveries
