00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 enabling the rocket to undertake longer

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44 missions one of the most challenging

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46 aspects of this Mission will be the

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 attempted recovery of starship's

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 reusable booster using a landing pad

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 this maneuver which had to be canceled

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55 during the previous test flight in

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 November could result in Sonic booms

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 around the landing Zone as the booster

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 decelerates from supersonic speeds if

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 automated health checks indicate any

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06 concerns with the super heavy booster or

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09 Tower the backup plan involves a

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 controlled splash down in the Gulf of

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 Mexico the test flight is currently

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 scheduled for January 10th though

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16 weather conditions could affect the

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19 launch date with FAA clearance already

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21 secured this Mission represents a

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24 significant step forward in space X's

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 ambitious plans to revolutionize

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 another exciting launch On the

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 Horizon Blue origin is on the verge of a

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 historic moment as they prepare to

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39 launch their first new Glenn rocket from

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 Cape Canaveral space force station in

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 Florida after years of development since

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 Jeff bezos's first announced the project

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49 in 2016 the company is finally ready to

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 demonstrate their entry into the heavy

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03 Rocket's first stage booster cleverly

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05 named so you're telling me there's a

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07 chance will attempt a landing at Sea on

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09 their drone ship Jaclyn named after

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12 bezos's Mother new Glenn represents a

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 significant advancement in launch

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 vehicle capability Standing impressively

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 Tall with a massive 23-ft payload

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 fairing it offers more than double the

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23 volume of typical 15t fairings used by

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26 other Rockets this extra space gives

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 customers unprecedented flexibility in

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 how they package their pay loads the

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33 Rocket's performance specifications are

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35 equally impressive capable of delivering

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38 up to 45 metric tons to low earth orbit

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 and 13 metric tons to geostationary

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44 orbit like spacex's rockets new Glenn is

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 designed for reusability with each

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49 booster projected to complete up to 25

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51 flights for this debut Mission

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54 designated ng1 the rocket will carry the

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57 blue ring Pathfinder a

00:03:57 --> 00:04:00 450000 pound payload simulator this test

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 article will validate crucial systems

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04 including Communications arrays Power

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06 Systems and flight computers that will

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09 be used in future operational missions

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11 blue origin already has an impressive

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13 lineup of customers waiting to fly on

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15 new Glenn including NASA's Escapade Mars

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 probes Amazon's Kyper internet

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19 satellites and various commercial and

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22 government payloads if successful this

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23 first flight could count toward blue

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 origin certification requirements for

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 National Security launches with the US

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29 space force

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31 and now a new finding about the red

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34 planet Mars experiences remarkable dust

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36 storms that have long fascinated

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38 scientists and pose significant

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40 challenges for our robotic explorers

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42 every Martian year during the southern

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 hemisphere summer these storms sweep

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46 across the red planet but what's

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49 particularly intriguing is that every

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 three Martian years about 5 and a half

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54 Earth years these storms can grow so

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56 massive that they envelop the entire

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59 planet for months at a time new research

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00 from the the University of Colorado

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03 Boulder has finally shed light on what

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06 triggers these Planet engulfing events

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08 the study reveals that relatively warm

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10 and sunny days might be the key factor

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13 in kicking off the largest storms by

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 analyzing 15 years of data from NASA's

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18 Mars reconnaissance Orbiter researchers

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20 discovered that about 68% of major

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23 storms were preceded by a sharp rise in

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26 surface temperatures these storms while

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 not particularly powerful due to Mars's

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30 thin atmosphere POS serious risks to our

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33 missions on the planet the dust is

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35 incredibly fine and tends to stick to

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37 everything creating problems for solar

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39 powered equipment we've already lost

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41 both the opportunity Rover and insight

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44 Lander to these devastating storms which

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46 can coat solar panels and cut off

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47 crucial power

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49 supplies the research team focused on

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52 two specific weather patterns known as a

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56 and C storms that occur annually on Mars

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57 they found that when more sunlight

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59 filters through Mars's thin atmosphere

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01 to heat the surface it creates

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03 conditions similar to what triggers

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05 storms on Earth the warm air near the

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08 surface becomes buoyant and Rises taking

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11 dust with it potentially starting a

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13 Cascade effect that can grow into these

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15 massive storms this breakthrough and

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17 understanding could be the first step

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 toward forecasting extreme weather on

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22 Mars which will be crucial for future

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25 human missions to the red planet while

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 dust storms might not have enough Force

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29 to knock over equipment the combination

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 of electrically charged dust particles

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32 and their ability to infiltrate

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35 equipment makes them a serious

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37 consideration for any Mars mission

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39 planning I love it when we solve a

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42 mystery or have we in this

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44 case have you ever noticed how the moon

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46 seems impossibly large when it's hanging

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48 low on the horizon this captivating

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50 sight has been drawing gasps of

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52 amazement from observers for Millennia

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55 yet remarkably it's all Just an Illusion

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57 despite appearing massive when it rises

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59 or sets the moon maintains the exact

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02 same size whether it's peeking over the

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04 horizon or floating high in the night

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06 sky you can actually prove this yourself

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09 with a simple test next time you see

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11 that giant Moon near the Horizon hold up

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14 your index finger at arms length you'll

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16 find your fingernail appears to be about

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18 the same size as the moon try this again

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20 when the moon is high overhead and

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22 you'll get the exact same result even

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24 more convincing take a photo of the Moon

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27 at both positions using the same camera

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30 settings and you'll see the moon appears

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 identical in size in both images what

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34 makes this phenomenon particularly

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37 fascinating is that despite thousands of

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39 years of human observation and our

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42 modern scientific understanding we still

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44 don't have a definitive explanation for

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47 why our brains create this illusion the

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49 leading theories suggest it's related to

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51 how our minds process visual information

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53 about size and distance especially when

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55 we have reference points like trees or

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58 buildings near the Horizon interestingly

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59 while the size change isn't illusion

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01 there is one genuine difference in the

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04 moon's appearance near the Horizon its

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06 color the moon often appears more yellow

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08 or orange when it's low in the sky

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10 because its light has to travel through

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12 more of Earth's atmosphere to reach our

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 eyes this longer Journey scatters away

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18 more of the blue light leaving us with

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 those warmer more Golden

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23 Tones even NASA astronauts report seeing

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25 this illusion from space where there are

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27 no foreground objects to provide

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29 perspective adding another layer of

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32 mystery to this phenomenon until we

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33 fully understand the complex way our

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36 brains process these visual cues we can

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38 at least enjoy this spectacular sight

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41 that continues to Captivate viewers and

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42 create some of the most memorable scenes

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 in our night

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 sky while on the subject of mysteries

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49 fast radio bursts or FBS as they're

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51 known in the astronomical Community have

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53 been one of space's most intriguing

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55 Mysteries these incredible flashes of

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58 radio light can outshine entire galaxies

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00 yet they're gone in the blink of an eye

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 often lasting just a fraction of a

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 second for years astronomers could only

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06 catch them by chance leaving us

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08 wondering about their true nature but

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11 now thanks to some clever detective work

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 and advanced telescopes like chime we're

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15 finally starting to understand these

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18 Cosmic enigmas a recent breakthrough

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20 study has provided some of the strongest

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23 evidence yet about their Origins and it

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 all comes down to a fascinating method

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28 called scintillation essentially the

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 astronomical equivalent of how stars

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33 twinkle in our night sky the team

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35 focused on a particular burst called

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 fb22

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40 2122a which came from a Galaxy 200

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43 million light years away as the radio

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44 waves from this burst traveled through

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 space toward Earth they interacted with

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49 various gases and materials causing them

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51 to flicker in brightness by carefully

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54 analyzing these flickering patterns

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56 scientists were able to pinpoint exactly

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59 where the burst Came From Within 10

00:09:59 --> 00:10:02 kilm of a highly magnetic pulser this is

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04 a huge deal because it confirms what

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06 many astronomers have suspected these

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08 powerful bursts are generated by

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11 magnetars which are essentially super

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13 magnetic neutron stars but it goes even

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15 further than that the precise

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17 measurements show that these bursts must

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19 be occurring within the magnetar

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21 magnetosphere giving us crucial insight

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23 into how these exotic objects can

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25 generate such incredibly powerful bursts

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28 of radio energy this discovery isn't

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30 just solving a cosmic mystery it's

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32 opening up new ways to study these

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35 extreme objects by understanding how

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37 these magnetic fields can generate such

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40 intense radio light so quickly we're

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41 learning more about some of the most

00:10:41 --> 00:10:44 extreme physics in our universe it's

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46 another reminder that even in the vast

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49 emptiness of space we're constantly

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50 discovering new and fascinating

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52 phenomena that challenge our

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53 understanding of the

00:10:53 --> 00:10:56 cosmos in a groundbreaking study

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58 scientists have uncovered fascinating

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 details about how Galaxy manages its

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02 resources through what can only be

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04 described as a cosmic recycling system

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 this process involves massive currents

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08 that act like giant conveyor belts

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10 pushing material out into space and then

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 drawing it back in playing a crucial

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 role in the formation of everything from

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17 planets to new stars Life as we know it

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 depends on carbon but this essential

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21 element along with oxygen iron and

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23 nearly every other element except

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26 hydrogen and helium only exists because

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29 it was created inside Stars when these

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31 Stars die they scatter these elements

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34 across space in spectacular

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36 explosions but rather than simply

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38 drifting aimlessly these star forged

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41 elements embark on an incredible journey

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43 using the Hubble Space telescope's

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46 Cosmic origin spectrograph researchers

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48 made a remarkable Discovery by observing

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50 how light from distant quazars

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51 interacted with what's known as the

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54 circum Galactic medium a vast region

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57 surrounding galaxies like our Milky Way

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59 they found enormous amounts of car

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01 carbon extending nearly 400 light

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04 years into space that's four times the

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06 diameter of our galaxy this circum

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08 Galactic medium acts like a massive

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10 train station constantly moving

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13 materials in and out of the Galaxy the

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15 same carbon atoms in our bodies likely

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17 spent considerable time in this Cosmic

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19 recycling system before becoming part of

00:12:19 --> 00:12:22 Earth it's a beautiful example of how

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25 interconnected we are with the cosmos

00:12:25 --> 00:12:26 the atoms making up our world are

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28 Travelers that have journeyed through

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30 this vast itic recycling

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33 process understanding this process isn't

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35 just about satisfying scientific

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37 curiosity it could help explain why

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39 galaxies eventually stop forming new

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42 stars the theory is that when this

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44 recycling system begins to break down

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47 galaxies lose their ability to form new

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49 stars ultimately transforming them into

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52 Cosmic deserts This research opens up

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54 new questions about the life cycles of

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57 galaxies and our own Galaxy's

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00 future and that's it for to today thanks
