This is space time series 27 episode 20 for broadcast on the

00:00:04
14th of February 2024. Coming up on SpaceTime, the discovery of a

00:00:09
galaxy that shouldn't exist Virgin Galactic grounded again.

00:00:14
And NASA is targeting today for the launch of the Odysseus lunar

00:00:18
Lander to the moon. All that and more coming up on space time.

00:00:24
Welcome to space time with Stuart Gary.

00:00:44
Astronomers using NASA's web space telescope have discovered

00:00:47
a dwarf galaxy that shouldn't exist. The serendipitous

00:00:51
observation reported in the Astrophysical journal letters is

00:00:54
strange because this galaxy isn't interacting with nearby

00:00:57
Galaxies and it isn't forming any new stars. The galaxy is

00:01:01
cataloged as Pearl SDG and it's relatively close located some 98

00:01:06
light years away.

00:01:07
Galaxies are bound together by gravity and they're made up of

00:01:10
stars and planets with vast clouds of gas and dust as well

00:01:13
as lots of unknown dark matter and dwarf Galaxies are the most

00:01:17
abundant Galaxies in the universe and are by definition

00:01:21
small with low luminosity.

00:01:23
They usually have fewer than 100 million stars compared to

00:01:26
somewhere like the Milky way which has some 200 billion

00:01:29
recent dwarf galaxy observations of the large abundance of ultra

00:01:33
diffuse Galaxies beyond the reach of previous large

00:01:35
spectroscopic surveys suggest that our understanding of dwarf

00:01:39
galaxy populations may be incomplete.

00:01:42
The study's lead author Tim Charlton from the Arizona State

00:01:45
University says he was looking initially at a cluster of

00:01:48
Galaxies as part of the Web Pearl project. He says the dwarf

00:01:52
galaxy wasn't the target, however, it just happened to

00:01:54
appear in some of the imaging and his team were intrigued

00:01:58
because Pearl SDG was an interesting case of an isolated

00:02:01
quiescent galaxy that didn't have the usual characteristics

00:02:05
of a dwarf galaxy.

00:02:06
So all of the archival imaging data observing at ultraviolet

00:02:10
optical and infrared wavelengths was all pulled together to study

00:02:14
the colors of Pearl SDG, see newly formed stars have specific

00:02:18
color signatures. So the absence of such signatures was used to

00:02:22
show that Pearl SDG wasn't forming new stars.

00:02:26
Carlton says these types of isolated quiescent dwarf

00:02:29
Galaxies haven't really been seen before, except in a very

00:02:32
few isolated cases. In fact, they're not really expected to

00:02:35
exist given science's current understanding of galaxy

00:02:38
evolution. So the fact that we see this object and it's so

00:02:42
close will help scientists develop new theories on galaxy

00:02:45
formation.

00:02:46
Until now, astronomer's understanding of galaxy

00:02:49
evolution showed isolated Galaxies that continue to form

00:02:52
young stars would do so as a result of interacting with a

00:02:55
more massive companion galaxy. But this galactic merger

00:02:59
hypothesis for galaxy evolution doesn't apply to Pearl SDG So

00:03:04
Pearl SDG actually represents an old stellar population, not

00:03:08
forming many new stars.

00:03:09
And keeping to itself in a further surprise, the stars in

00:03:13
this galaxy all appeared to be very bright in Webb's infrared

00:03:16
wavelengths making them easy to isolate, which itself is unusual

00:03:20
for a galaxy at this distance.

00:03:22
The discovery of Pearl SDG suggests the possibility that

00:03:26
many isolated quiescent Galaxies are out there waiting to be

00:03:29
identified. And luckily the James Webb Space telescope has

00:03:33
the tools to do so. This space time still to come. Virgin

00:03:38
Galactic grounded again. And NASA is targeting today for the

00:03:43
launch of the Odysseus lunar Lander to the moon. All that and

00:03:46
more still to come on space time.

00:04:04
Virgin Galactic has been forced to ground its space tourism

00:04:07
operations after an alignment pen detached from its white

00:04:10
knight two mothership during the Galactic Six mission. Virgin

00:04:14
says the safety of the mission was not impacted by the event

00:04:17
and the discovery of the missing part was detected later during

00:04:20
routine ground checks.

00:04:22
The company then reported the issue to the Federal Aviation

00:04:25
administration and grounded operations pending a full

00:04:28
investigation. The alignment pin is designed to ensure that the

00:04:31
spaceships aligned to the mothership when mating the

00:04:34
vehicles together on the ground during pre flight procedures.

00:04:37
Unity's wind rocket plane is mounted on a special pylon below

00:04:41
the central wing spar between the white knight to mothership's

00:04:44
twin bodied fuselage. This alignment pen also helps

00:04:48
transfer dragon other forces from the space plane to the

00:04:51
pylon.

00:04:52
The four engined white knight two then takes off horizontally

00:04:56
from a conventional runway carrying the space plane beneath

00:04:59
it up to an altitude of about 14 kilometers 45 ft. Here, the

00:05:04
spacecraft is released or drop launched then lights up its

00:05:07
hybrid rocket engine and accelerates vertically towards

00:05:10
the edge of space.

00:05:11
Reaching an altitude of around 88 kilometers before gliding

00:05:14
back to earth for a conventional runway landing. Virgin Galactic

00:05:18
has been offering commercial space tourism missions to the

00:05:21
edge of space since August last year. Virgin says it'll provide

00:05:25
further updates at the completion of the joint FAA

00:05:28
review and will confirm the flight window for its galactic

00:05:31
07 mission which was slated for the second quarter of this year.

00:05:35
We'll keep you informed this space time still to come. NASA

00:05:41
is targeting today for the launch of the Odysseus lunar

00:05:44
Lander to the moon and a Cygnus cargo ship arrives at the

00:05:47
International Space Station all that and more still to come on

00:05:51
space time.

00:06:07
Ok. Let's take a break from our show for a word from our sponsor

00:06:11
in Cogni consider this our digital wellness spotlight.

00:06:15
Today we're driving into something that affects us all

00:06:18
but often flies under the radar, namely our digital privacy in

00:06:23
the shadows of the internet.

00:06:24
Data brokers are busy piecing together your profile and that

00:06:28
of every member in your family and they're alarmingly detailed

00:06:32
these shadow profiles include all your personal details and

00:06:36
all your interests and guess what? They're not just sitting

00:06:39
there, they're being used by scammers, insurance companies,

00:06:42
banks, businesses, even the government. Have you ever

00:06:46
wondered why you keep getting spam calls and emails?

00:06:49
That's right. Our inboxes and daily lives are being flooded

00:06:53
with these nuisances because our information's all out there ripe

00:06:57
for the picking and it gets worse. Scammers use these

00:07:00
details to target you leveraging information like income levels,

00:07:04
health conditions. And of course, all your family members

00:07:07
in order to weave their deceptive webs, but it's not

00:07:11
just about being targeted for scams.

00:07:13
It's the sheer invasion of privacy. People search sites and

00:07:18
you end up giving strangers access to your address, contact

00:07:21
numbers and family details. Of course, the big one these days

00:07:25
is identity theft, cyber criminals need just a few pieces

00:07:29
of your personal information in order to wreak total havoc on

00:07:32
your life.

00:07:33
And data brokers are often where they start. Now. Here's the good

00:07:37
news in Cogni is stepping in to offer you a way out. Now, if

00:07:41

00:08:39
show.

00:08:40
You're listening to space time with Stuart Garry.

00:08:45
NASA is targeting today for the launch of its next scientific

00:08:48
mission to the moon. The intuitive machine's I AM one

00:08:52
mission were launched to the lunar South Pole region aboard a

00:08:54
Falcon nine rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in

00:08:58
Florida. The flight will carry the company's new robotic

00:09:01
nervous sea Lander Odysseus.

00:09:04
It'll attempt to become the first privately built spacecraft

00:09:07
to successfully land on the lunar surface. The mission is

00:09:11
part of NASA's commercial lunar payload services initiative

00:09:14
which is designed to bring down the cost of scientific

00:09:17
investigations and technology demonstrations going to the moon

00:09:20
and to make them more routine in the lead up to the Artemis Man

00:09:23
missions which while delayed are still slated for later this

00:09:27
decade.

00:09:28
Among the NASA provided research payloads flying aboard the IM

00:09:32
One mission will be RSUS the radio wave observation at the

00:09:36
lunar surface of the photo electron sheath span instrument

00:09:39
package.

00:09:40
It's designed to observe the moon's surface environment in

00:09:43
radio frequencies. This will determine how both natural and

00:09:46
human generated noise activity near the surface of the moon

00:09:50
interacts with and in fact could interfere with science being

00:09:53
conducted there. Rolls instrument project head, Nat Gul

00:09:57
Swami from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt.

00:10:00
Maryland says the project uses 4 2.5 m long antennas to observe

00:10:05
whatever radio emissions are present on the moon. The main

00:10:08
purpose will be to account for the variety of radiation

00:10:11
generated by cosmic phenomena as well as human activity on earth.

00:10:15
Each of which produces its own dynamic spectral patterns.

00:10:19
These include natural radio emissions coming from the earth

00:10:22
associated with auroral activity as well as emissions from

00:10:25
Jupiter and the sun and even from the rest of the Milky way

00:10:27
galaxy. Another source of radio interference will be the lunar

00:10:31
Lander itself by identifying all these existing different types

00:10:35
of interference.

00:10:36
Scientists will be able to sift through the noise. In order to

00:10:39
hone in on the real data, the four ross antennas are mounted

00:10:43
at two different heights, meaning that once they begin

00:10:45
taking measurements, they'll be able to provide information on

00:10:48
variations in the cloud of negatively charged electrons

00:10:52
being blasted from the lunar surface by sunlight and how it

00:10:55
changes between different altitudes.

00:10:57
This way, scientists will be able to measure the electrons

00:11:00
density based upon their distance from the surface. K.

00:11:03
Swami says this information will be essential when it comes time

00:11:07
to design and build future lunar observatories.

00:11:09
I'm here to talk to you about an exciting radio telescope that is

00:11:13
going to be placed on the moon. It is called Roy stands for

00:11:18
radio wave observations from the lunar surface of the photo

00:11:22
electron sheet. It's a mouthful but actually, it's a very simple

00:11:25
instrument and it's going to detect all kinds of radio

00:11:29
emission that is falling on the moon right now.

00:11:34
It is close to solar maximum. So the sun is producing a lot of

00:11:37
coronal mass ejections and radio emissions associated with them.

00:11:41
And we can detect these radio burst from the sun. Jupiter can

00:11:44
produce radio emission in this wavelength that we are

00:11:47
interested in and we can observe Jupiter.

00:11:49
Even the Milky way galaxy produces low level of radio

00:11:53
emission. We can detect those radio emissions. We also produce

00:11:57
a lot of radio emission by man made transmitters from earth.

00:12:00
And these radio interference can reach the moon characterization

00:12:04
of the radio environment of the moon is very important.

00:12:06
It has not been completely done. And therefore roses will be able

00:12:10
to contribute in identifying various sorts of radio emissions

00:12:14
on the sun. If we are setting up an observatory on the moon, we

00:12:17
should know what kind of radio interference we get there.

00:12:19
That's Nate Gopal Swami from NASA's Goddard Space Flight

00:12:22
Center in Greenville Maryland. And this space time still to

00:12:27
come. A Cygnus cargo ship docks with the International Space

00:12:31
Station. And later in the science report higher levels of

00:12:34
air pollution and an increased risk of death have been linked

00:12:38
to cardiovascular disease. All that and more still to come on

00:12:42
space time.

00:12:58
A Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo ship carrying some 3726 kg of

00:13:03
equipment and supplies has successfully docked to the

00:13:06
International Space Station. The NG 20 mission had launched two

00:13:10
days earlier space launch complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral

00:13:13
Space Force base in Florida aboard a Falcon nine rocket.

00:13:17
Northrop Grumman subcontracted SpaceX at its Falcon nine for

00:13:21
the launch service as they continue to develop the new

00:13:23
Antares 300 series rocket which will replace their previous 200

00:13:27
series which used Russian supplied rocket engines on their

00:13:30
first stage boosters. The need for a replacement comes in the

00:13:34
wake of the ban by the West on the use of Russian technology

00:13:37
following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

00:13:40
It's the first of three planned Cygnus missions using Falcon

00:13:43
nine s before the new American built rocket engines are

00:13:46
available following the launch main engine cut off and stage

00:13:49
separation.

00:13:50
The Falcon nine core stage flipped over, undertook a boot

00:13:53
back burn and flew itself back to one of the landing pads at

00:13:56
Cape Canaveral where it performed the perfect touchdown.

00:13:59
Meanwhile, the second stage and the Cygnus continued to climb to

00:14:03
orbit included in the manifest for the orbiting outpost is new

00:14:07
equipment to test 3d printing technologies in space.

00:14:10
See 3d printing will be really useful on long duration space

00:14:14
flight to replace damaged equipment or to manufacture new

00:14:17
components as needed. Also aboard was a new surgical robot

00:14:21
which has been set up to test its performance in orbit. Other

00:14:25
supplies include 139 kg of scientific experiments and

00:14:29
equipment.

00:14:30
1131 kg of space station hardware, 16 kg of space walking

00:14:36
equipment, 1129 kg of fresh food water and crew supplies and 67

00:14:42
kg of computer resources. Cygnus will stay attached to the space

00:14:46
station for up to six months, providing additional space for

00:14:49
crew and booster services to increase the space station's

00:14:52
orbital altitude as needed.

00:14:54
See the space station normally orbits at an altitude of

00:14:57
somewhere between 424 100 kilometers. But atmospheric drag

00:15:03
caused by the rarified atmosphere at that altitude

00:15:05
causes orbital decay. And that means occasional boosts need to

00:15:09
be undertaken in order to retain a cruising altitude. These used

00:15:12
to be carried out regularly by space shuttle visits.

00:15:15
But following the demise of the space shuttle program 13 years

00:15:18
ago, Russian progress, cargo ships have been undertaking the

00:15:21
function. Now following the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine,

00:15:25
the United States wants to take a bigger role in maintaining

00:15:28
flight operations, support the orbiting outpost this space time

00:15:45
and time.

00:15:46
Now to take another brief look at some of the other stories

00:15:48
making news in science. This week with the science report, an

00:15:52
analysis of data from 183 World Health Organization member

00:15:56
states has found a clear link between higher levels of air

00:15:59
pollution and an increased risk of death from cardiovascular

00:16:03
diseases.

00:16:04
A report in the journal Chronic Diseases and translational

00:16:07
medicine found the link was stronger in low income countries

00:16:10
with 70 deaths per 100 people compared to just 16

00:16:13
deaths per 100 in wealthier nations. It seems the major

00:16:18
issue in low income countries was the use of polluting fuels

00:16:20
and stoves in the home for cooking.

00:16:23
The authors say this accounted for more than twice as many

00:16:26
deaths from stroke as outdoor air pollution with 39 deaths per

00:16:29
100 people. The findings highlight the health risks of

00:16:34
air pollution and the need to consider it an additional

00:16:36
lifestyle changes and disease management. In order to curb

00:16:39
deaths from heart related diseases.

00:16:43
Scientists have broken a new record in precision

00:16:45
manufacturing as part of their quest to fabricate new silicon

00:16:49
chips for use in future. Quantum computers. The teams show that

00:16:53
phosphorus ions can be implanted into silicon crystal with 99.95

00:16:58
per cent confidence while at the same time being precisely

00:17:02
located where you want them to be within the chip.

00:17:05
A report in the journal Advanced Condom Technologies claims the

00:17:08
achievement is significant because the manufacturing method

00:17:10
based on iron implantation is the same as that already used to

00:17:14
make the binary bits in conventional computers.

00:17:17
It therefore offers both flexible and scalable ways to

00:17:20
fabricate donor qubits for quantum computers without having

00:17:23
to re invent the wheel A I language models allegedly apply

00:17:28
strict ethical codes when making decisions.

00:17:31
But it seems there are exceptions. A report in the

00:17:35
journal of the Royal Society Open Science say researchers

00:17:38
asked large language models such as Chat GPT 3.5 Lima two and PM

00:17:43
two, a series of moral questions and found they generally made

00:17:47
decisions that align closely with human moral principles such

00:17:51
as saving a human over belongings and sparing females

00:17:54
over males.

00:17:55
However, some such as li I deviated, taking a more neutral

00:18:00
stance on the lives of criminals versus non offenders.

00:18:02
For example, as A I becomes increasingly ingrained in every

00:18:06
aspect of our lives knowing how they make decisions is

00:18:09
important, especially decision making related to transport, for

00:18:13
example, where safety trade off decisions are constantly being

00:18:17
made.

00:18:19
Apple's New Vision pro augmented reality headsets are now out on

00:18:22
the market and everyday people are starting to buy and use them

00:18:26
with the details of how it's changing our lives. We're joined

00:18:29
by technology editor Alex Sahara Reut from tech advice dot live.

00:18:33
They've been seen everywhere. People have been on the subway

00:18:36
swiping and moving things in thin air. They're seeing things

00:18:39
in their field of view in the space around them, which is a

00:18:42
little bit like Johnny, the Moni or Minority report that age

00:18:45
where you put on the headset and you're interacting with the

00:18:48
world in front of you with things that only you can see has

00:18:51
arrived.

00:18:51
And so what someone has done, for example, is that they're at

00:18:53
home, they've got a to set up from their Mac, they can resize

00:18:57
it at will, they can have email messages from their iphone and

00:19:00
ipad.

00:19:00
Now there have been people walking through malls walking

00:19:03
down the street and they're waving wildly in front of them,

00:19:05
moving things around them which are moving as they are moving,

00:19:08
people have been driving Tesla cars tapping at things in mid

00:19:11
air looking quite strange. People are filming them as the,

00:19:15
as the car is driving autonomously down the street

00:19:17
and.

00:19:17
They, then there's the dude at the basketball game who looks

00:19:21
like he is conducting an orchestra.

00:19:23
Exactly. And these people who are watching sports games in

00:19:25
front of their field of view, they have the sports game on the

00:19:28
side is all the stats on the right hand side is the replays.

00:19:30
I mean, they're getting a better set of information than actually

00:19:33
being live at the game itself and they can just by tapping and

00:19:36
dragging with their hand, they can resize the image in front of

00:19:39
them.

00:19:39
I mean, the age of having a fixed screen of only 13 or 15

00:19:42
inches in front of you is over. Now the age of having augmented

00:19:46
reality with actual information in front of you that is

00:19:49
contextual and moving around and you can have all these screens

00:19:51
in front of you that you compete through and you can turn them

00:19:54
off and turn them back on.

00:19:55
But this is version one, this is more or less a developer kit

00:19:58
which is being sold to the public and it is generating

00:20:00
enormous excitement. Clearly, version two, version three,

00:20:03
version four, you'll go from the 3.5 to $5000 3000 us dollars,

00:20:08
they'll come down to sub 1000 if inflation doesn't ruin

00:20:11
everything for all of us and they will get smaller and

00:20:13
smaller until they look like a pair of glasses.

00:20:15
But at the moment, people are wearing them eating, they're

00:20:17
wearing them everywhere. Very exciting. They're meant to sell

00:20:20
300 50 this year next year is meant to be three times that

00:20:24
the year after that, it's meant to be, you know, even larger

00:20:26
numbers. And this is the iphone moment all over again, but

00:20:29
vastly more profound, vastly more advanced, vastly more

00:20:32
customisable, vastly more sci fi.

00:20:34
I remember when cell phones first became the big deal. Yes,

00:20:37
I'm that old. And I remember seeing a dude standing on the

00:20:41
sidewalk talking on his cell phone and we all looked at him

00:20:46
from, we were in the newsroom at the ABC where I was working at

00:20:48
the time and we all looked at.

00:20:50
What a what a crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

00:20:53
And now you wouldn't think twice about it pretty soon.

00:20:55
At least if you're living in the city you won't be able to walk

00:20:58
down the street or go to a shop or interact with a store. I

00:21:00
mean, it might take 10 years. It might take 20 years, but

00:21:02
probably it's gonna be five years. You won't be able to

00:21:04
interact in the digital world without having one of these

00:21:07
headsets.

00:21:07
If you don't have one, it'll be like everyone else has a mobile

00:21:10
phone and you don't, everyone else can be contacted, but you

00:21:12
can't, but it'll be vastly more profound.

00:21:14
I mean, you go to a shop and a cafe, you sort of say, show me

00:21:17
the menu and the menu will be there, everything will be there

00:21:19
is changing human life in a way that it's difficult to

00:21:22
comprehend until you see it does this mean the end of the cell

00:21:26
phone just like we had a period of time where cds and cassettes

00:21:30
and records still existed that cds have been replaced by

00:21:34
streaming.

00:21:34
I mean, people still use them, but it's going to replace them

00:21:37
eventually. But at the moment, no, at the moment, it's going to

00:21:40
be quite some time, especially given the fact that vision pro

00:21:42
headset is much more expensive, you know, 10 times more

00:21:44
expensive than your typical mid range or mid to low range.

00:21:47
I mean, not everyone's buying 3000 iphones, but the price of

00:21:51
those headsets will come down and eventually this will be the

00:21:54
new mobile phone, but it'll take some years, at least for that to

00:21:57
happen.

00:21:57
