00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.399
Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your daily source for the most
2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:08.320
fascinating developments in space and astronomy. I'm excited to bring
3
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.400
you today's lineup of incredible stories from across the Cosmos.
4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.519
We'll be diving into Iran's latest achievement in space exploration,
5
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:20.280
exploring some mind bending new theories about advanced civilizations, and
6
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.399
sharing a groundbreaking discovery about a star that's remarkably similar
7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.160
to our Sun. We'll also check in on jupiter spectacular
8
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.760
show in our night sky, investigate a mysterious comet hiding
9
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.240
in plain sight, and get the latest updates from the
10
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:39.479
International Space Station. Let's get started. Iran's space program has
11
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.600
marked a significant milestone with their latest launch successfully placing
12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.159
their largest payload yet into orbit. The launch took place
13
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.320
on Friday, using one of their two stage Simorg rockets,
14
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.640
carrying a combined weight of six hundred and sixty pounds
15
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.640
of space technology into the heavens. The mission deployed three
16
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.479
distinct payloads into an elliptical orbit ranging from one hundred
17
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.159
and eighty four to two hundred and fifty five miles
18
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.319
above Earth. Among these payloads is the Salman One, an
19
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.079
innovative space HUG designed to boost satellites to higher orbits,
20
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.400
and the Fokker one Cube SAT alongside an undisclosed research payload.
21
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.319
The salman I space TUG represents a particularly notable advancement,
22
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.000
as it would enable Iran to move satellites from low
23
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.120
Earth orbit up to geosynchronous orbit, where spacecraft maintained position
24
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:31.200
over the same area of Earth. This capability could significantly
25
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.319
reduce the need for larger launch vehicles and cut fuel
26
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.959
costs for future missions. However, this achievement has been met
27
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.040
with mixed reactions from the international community. While Iranian state
28
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.760
media celebrates it as a milestone for their space sector,
29
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.680
western nations have expressed serious concerns. The United States and
30
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.840
its allies view these developments through a more critical lens,
31
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.079
suggesting these launches might advance Iran's ballistic missile capabilities. A
32
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.680
US intelligence report from July highlighted that the cymorg rocket
33
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:08.800
technology could potentially accelerate the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles,
34
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.560
should Iran choose to pursue that path. These concerns stem
35
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.759
from the parallel technologies used in both space rockets and
36
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.919
missile systems. This latest launch follows Iran's earlier success in January,
37
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.479
when they achieved their first orbital launch of the Cymorg rocket.
38
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.479
Prior to that, they conducted a test flight with what
39
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.199
they described as an indigenous biocapsule, part of their stated
40
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:38.520
ambition to eventually put Iranian astronauts into space. A groundbreaking
41
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.639
new perspective on the Fermi paradox is challenging our fundamental
42
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:48.120
assumptions about how advanced civilizations might appear to us. Researchers
43
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.599
are suggesting that we might be looking for the wrong
44
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.879
signs when searching for intelligent life in the cosmos. The
45
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.639
traditional view of the Fermi paradox points to a striking contradiction.
46
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.120
Given the vast number of stars and planets in our galaxy,
47
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.680
there should be abundant intelligent life out there, yet we
48
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.199
see no evidence of it. This new research proposes an
49
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.199
intriguing solution. Perhaps advanced civilizations become so integrated with their
50
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.960
planet's natural systems that they become virtually indistinguishable from nature itself.
51
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.599
The key lies in understanding sustainability on a cosmic scale,
52
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.639
rather than pursuing endless expansion and energy consumption, as suggested
53
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:33.039
by the Kardashev scale. Successful civilizations might actually fold back
54
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.680
into their planet's biosphere. This means that instead of building
55
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:41.000
massive structures like dice in spheres or colonizing entire galaxies,
56
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.159
advanced species might develop in ways that harmonize completely with
57
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.800
their home worlds. This perspective suggests that our current technological
58
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.039
trajectory focused on constant growth and expansion, might not be
59
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.960
the universal path we assumed it to be. Instead, truly
60
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.000
advanced civilizations might develop in ways that strengthen and enhance
61
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.439
their planet's natural systems, rather than replacing them. What's particularly
62
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.439
fascinating is how this could affect our search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
63
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.280
If this theory holds true, we might need to completely
64
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.399
rethink our search methods. Rather than looking for artificial structures
65
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.639
or radio signals, we might need to look for subtler signs,
66
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.839
perhaps planets with unusually stable and complex ecosystems. This also
67
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.720
raises profound questions about our own future. Perhaps the mark
68
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.600
of an advanced civilization is in its ability to conquer
69
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.240
nature or spread across the stars, but rather its capacity
70
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.680
to achieve perfect harmony with its home world. It suggests
71
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.879
that our ultimate destiny might not be to reach for
72
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.319
the stars, but to become one with the very planet
73
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.040
that gave us life. Next up today, in an exciting first,
74
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.040
astronomers have detected an astrosphere around a star remarkably similar
75
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.199
to our Sun. This discovery was made while observing a
76
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.560
star nicknamed the Moth, and it's giving us unp precedented
77
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.720
insights into how stars like our Sun protect their planetary systems.
78
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.399
For those wondering what an astrosphere is, think of it
79
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.759
as a star's protective bubble. Just as our Sun creates
80
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.800
the heliosphere that shields our Solar system from harsh cosmic rays,
81
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.839
other stars create their own protective bubbles through their stellar winds.
82
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.319
While we've seen these bubbles around various types of stars before,
83
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.079
this is the first time we've observed one around a
84
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.399
star so similar to our Sun. The star in question,
85
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.319
officially known as HD six one zero zero five, earned
86
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.759
its nickname the Moth because it's surrounded by a debris
87
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.240
disc that looks like wings when viewed from Earth. What
88
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.800
makes this discovery particularly interesting is that this star is
89
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.360
only about one hundred million years old, practically a teenager
90
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.639
compared to our four billion year old son. This younger
91
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.720
age means it's more active and has stronger stellar winds
92
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.160
than our Sun currently does. Using the Chandra X ray observatory,
93
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.600
researchers detected a hay of X ray light extending outward
94
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.879
from the star to a distance equivalent to one hundred
95
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.560
times the Earth Sun distance. This glowing bubble is actually
96
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.680
the star's astrosphere, and its circular shape tells us something fascinating.
97
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.399
The stellar wind is so powerful that it maintains its
98
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.040
shape even as the star plows through dense interstellar gas.
99
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.079
This discovery is more than just a cosmic curiosity. By
100
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.879
studying the astrosphere of this younger sunlike star, we're essentially
101
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.800
looking at a snapshot of what our own solar system
102
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.480
might have been like in its youth. It's like finding
103
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.160
a baby picture of our solar system's protective shield, giving
104
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.319
us valuable insights into how our cosmic neighborhood has evolved
105
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.439
over billions of years. As I like to remind you,
106
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.240
keep looking up, and this weekend is the perfect time
107
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:52.519
to do just that. Stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts are in
108
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.399
for a treat this weekend as Jupiter reaches opposition, creating
109
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.680
the best viewing opportunity of twenty twenty four for the
110
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.319
Soul System's largest planet, the gas giant, will appear at
111
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.199
its biggest and brightest in our night sky as it
112
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:11.000
positions itself directly opposite the Sun when viewed from Earth.
113
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.839
This special alignment occurs on Saturday at three point fifty
114
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.439
pm Eastern Time, with Jupiter rising in the east just
115
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.000
as the sun sets in the west. You'll find it
116
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.120
shining brilliantly in the constellation Taurus, reaching its highest point
117
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.279
in the night sky around midnight local time. What makes
118
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.839
this event particularly special is that Jupiter will also make
119
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.240
its closest approach to Earth, coming within just three hundred
120
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.600
eighty million miles of our planet. While that might sound
121
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.279
like an enormous distance, it's actually quite close in astronomical terms,
122
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.160
and it's this proximity that gives us such excellent viewing conditions.
123
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.720
Even though Jupiter will appear as a bright point of
124
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.079
light to the naked eye, you don't need professional equipment
125
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.160
to make the most of this opportunity. A decent pair
126
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.560
of binoculars will reveal Jupiter's disc and even allow you
127
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.800
to spot its largest moons, known as the Galilean moons.
128
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.600
If you have access to a telescope, you'll be able
129
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.879
to see even more detail, including some of Jupiter's distinctive
130
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.920
cloud bands. Look for Jupiter in the eastern sky after sunset.
131
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.319
It will be one of the brightest objects in the
132
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.560
night sky, making it easy to spot even from light
133
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.120
polluted areas. The planet will remain visible for most of
134
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.839
the night, giving everyone plenty of time to catch a
135
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.040
glimpse of this spectacular celestial show. In an exciting new
136
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:34.480
discovery that's making astronomers rethink the boundaries between cosmic objects,
137
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.799
scientists have identified another Main Belt comet hiding in plain
138
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.879
sight within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This
139
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.440
fascinating object, designated as four hundred and fifty six p
140
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.840
slash pan Stars, has become the fourteenth confirmed Main Belt comet,
141
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.919
adding to a rare class of celestial bodies that challenge
142
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.320
our traditional classifications. These enigmatic objects belong to a broader
143
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.559
category known as active asteroisroids, sharing characteristics of both rocky
144
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.879
asteroids and icy comets. What makes them particularly intriguing is
145
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.960
their ability to display comet like behavior while maintaining asteroid
146
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.159
like orbits along with their mysterious cousins, the dark comets,
147
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.799
which scientists believe make up about sixty percent of near
148
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.679
Earth objects, they're helping us better understand the complexity of
149
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.919
our solar system. The newly discovered object caught scientists attention
150
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.840
in twenty twenty one when pan Star's telescopes in Hawaii
151
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.759
observed its sporting a small dusty tail, but determining its
152
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:40.039
true nature required patience and careful observation. After all, sometimes
153
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.879
asteroids can appear active simply due to collisions with other
154
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.639
space rocks, creating temporary dust clouds that might be mistaken
155
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.919
for cometary activity. Following years of monitoring by a dedicated
156
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.799
team of astronomers, the object revealed its true identity through
157
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:59.000
a pattern of repeated activity. When observed at different distances
158
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.159
from the Sun, it showed a fascinating cycle of activation
159
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.399
and dormancy. As it approached about four hundred twenty eight
160
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.519
million kilometers from the Sun, the object began displaying a
161
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.120
distinct tail pointing away from our star, classic cometary behavior
162
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.559
caused by ice sublimating beneath its surface. With a nucleus
163
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:21.480
measuring roughly one kilometer across, this celestial hybrid raises intriguing
164
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.639
questions about the early Solar System. Its existence suggests that
165
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.600
the boundary between where ice could and couldn't exist during
166
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.399
our Solar System's formation wasn't as clear cut as previously thought.
167
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.600
These Main Belt comets might actually be preserved remnants from
168
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.559
our cosmic past, offering valuable clues about how our solar
169
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.159
neighborhood came to be. This discovery not only adds another
170
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.559
member to an exclusive club of celestial objects, but also
171
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.279
reminds us that the distinction between asteroids and comets isn't
172
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.200
always black and white. Sometimes the most interesting discoveries lie
173
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.919
in these gray areas, challenging our understanding of what's possible
174
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:05.159
in our cosmic backyard. Finally, today, an update on the ISS.
175
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.600
Life aboard the International Space Station has settled into a
176
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.559
more routine rhythm lately, though that doesn't mean it's been
177
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.120
without its share of excitement. The Expedition seventy two crew
178
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:19.919
has been handling several unexpected challenges with their usual professional expertise.
179
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.320
Just last month, they faced an unusual situation during the
180
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:29.320
arrival of the Progress MS twenty nine resupply spacecraft. Upon
181
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.799
opening the hatch, crew members detected what they described as
182
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.120
a smell similar to spray paint, along with some concerning
183
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:40.279
droplets near the connection point. Taking no chances, the Russian
184
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.759
cosmonauts donned protective gear and sealed off the area while
185
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.159
they activated air scrubbers to deal with the situation. Fortunately,
186
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.159
further investigation revealed the source to be harmless outgassing from
187
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.480
materials in the Progress vehicle's pressurized section, not any dangerous
188
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.120
propellant leaks. After confirming air quality had returned to nor
189
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.799
the crew was able to resume their crucial cargo transfer operations.
190
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.639
The station also had to perform some fancy flying to
191
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.519
avoid a piece of space debris, specifically a fragment from
192
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.519
a Defense meteorological satellite that broke up back in twenty fifteen.
193
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:21.080
Using the Progress MS twenty eight spacecraft's thrusters, they executed
194
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:24.120
a precise five and a half minute maneuver to ensure
195
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:27.679
safe distance from the potential hazard. It marked the thirty
196
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.919
ninth time the ISS has had to dodge orbital debris,
197
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.600
highlighting one of the ongoing challenges of operating in Earth orbit.
198
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.519
Despite these occasional hurdles, the crew still found time to
199
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:42.440
celebrate Thanksgiving together, enjoying a special meal of freeze dried
200
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.840
turkey and all the traditional fixings. It was a welcome
201
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.159
break in their busy schedule of maintaining the station, conducting
202
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:53.679
scientific research, and preparing for upcoming vehicle arrivals and departures
203
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.559
as they continue their vital work two hundred and fifty
204
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.000
miles above Earth. And that wraps up today's episode of
