cosmic adventure that spans our Solar System and beyond. This

15
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.079
is Astronomy Daily and i'm ana your guide to the

16
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.359
wonders of space. Let's get started in a remarkable display

17
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.359
of spacewalking prowess Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin and Ivan Wagner

18
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.680
successfully completed a challenging seven hour and seventeen minute spacewalk

19
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:13.000
outside the International Space Station on December nineteenth. The mission

20
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.120
kicked off at ten thirty six am Eastern Time, with

21
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.920
the pair tackling several crucial tasks that will enhance our

22
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.359
understanding of the Cosmos. The spacewalk marked a significant milestone

23
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.640
for Wagner, being his first venture into the vacuum of space,

24
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.319
while Auvchinin added a second spacewalk to his impressive career. Together,

25
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.560
they executed a series of complex operations that included the

26
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:39.200
installation of sophisticated experiment packages designed to monitor celestial X

27
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.840
ray sources, providing scientists with valuable data about some of

28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.680
the most energetic phenomena in our universe. During their time outside,

29
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.079
the cosmonauts also focused on upgrading the station's infrastructure, setting

30
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.120
up new electrical connector patch panels that will support future operations.

31
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.439
They methodically worked through their task list, which included the

32
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.359
careful removal of outdated experiments that had completed their scientific missions.

33
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.520
While the majority of their objectives were accomplished with precision,

34
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.800
time constraints prevented them from completing one secondary task, the

35
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.520
relocation of a control panel for the European Robotic Arm

36
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.599
mounted on the Nalka Multipurpose laboratory module. However, this non

37
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.000
essential task didn't diminish the overall success of the mission.

38
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.479
This spacewalk marks the two hundred and seventy second in

39
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.639
the history of international space station operations, continuing the legacy

40
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.840
of human achievement in space and highlighting the ongoing international

41
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.439
collaboration that keeps this orbital outpost at the forefront of

42
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:47.400
space research and exploration. The BEPI Columbo spacecraft has just

43
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.919
achieved a remarkable milestone in space exploration, capturing Mercury in

44
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.560
mid infrared light for the first time in history during

45
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.280
its fifth flyby of the planet. The spacecraft's Mercury radiometer

46
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.879
and thermal infrared spectrometer, known as myrtis observe Mercury's northern

47
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.639
hemisphere from a distance of about twenty three thy four

48
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.639
hundred miles, offering scientists an entirely new perspective on our

49
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:16.560
Solar System's innermost planet. This groundbreaking observation is particularly significant

50
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.520
because mid infrared light reveals crucial information about the mineral

51
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:25.199
composition and temperature of Mercury's sun scorch surface. The data

52
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.800
collected is already providing tantalizing clues about the planet's geological

53
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.199
history and formation, aspects that have long puzzled planetary scientists.

54
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.639
The spacecraft's journey to Mercury is a masterpiece of orbital mechanics.

55
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.360
BEPI Colombo is taking a complex spiral route through the

56
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.240
inner Solar System, using the gravitational pull of Earth, Venus

57
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.280
and Mercury itself to gradually adjust its course. This carefully

58
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.240
choreographed celestial dance will eventually allow the spacecraft to settle

59
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.960
into its final orbit around Mercury in late twenty twenty six.

60
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.560
One of the most intriguing aspects of this latest flyby

61
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.199
was Murtis's observation of the Caloris Basin, a vast volcanic

62
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.280
plane within an impact crater that experiences some of the

63
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.000
most extreme temperature variations in the Solar System. The instrument

64
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.959
also captured stunning views of Basho Crater, offering new insights

65
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.360
into Mercury's impact history. The science team has spent years

66
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.240
preparing for these observations by studying how various minerals behave

67
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.959
at Mercury's scorching temperatures, often exceeding seven hundred and fifty

68
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:38.199
degrees fahrenheit. This extensive groundwork has created a detailed database

69
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.800
of mineral signatures that scientists can now use to decode

70
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.240
the composition of Mercury's surface features. While this flyby's images

71
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.560
were taken from a considerable distance, they're just a preview

72
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.600
of what's to come. Once Beppy Columbo enters its final orbit,

73
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.439
Murdis will map Mercury's entire surface in unprecedented detail, promising

74
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.680
to revolutionize our understanding of this mysterious world closest to

75
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.879
our Sun. Meanwhile, over on Mars, in an exciting development,

76
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.240
NASA's Perseverance rover has achieved a historic milestone, becoming the

77
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.759
first rover to climb out of such a massive crater

78
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.680
as JA zero. After five months of steady climbing, Perseverance

79
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.319
has finally reached the summit of Lookout Hill, positioning itself

80
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.920
about half a mile above the lowest point of its traverse.

81
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.680
This achievement has given us unprecedented views of both the

82
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.360
crater floor below and for the first time, the vast

83
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.879
expanse of Mars Neely Planum beyond the Crater rim. The

84
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.360
rover's powerful cameras can now analyze geological features up to

85
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.920
thirty five miles away, including small details like boulders, fluvial bars,

86
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.879
and dunes at distances of more than five miles. The

87
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.600
journey to this point has been nothing short of remarkable perseverance,

88
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.879
methodically made its way past landmarks like Docks Castle and

89
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.879
Pico Turkeno, stopping at strategic points like Faraway Rock to

90
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.839
capture panoramic views of the crater floor. The rover's recent

91
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.079
progress has been impressive, covering more than eight hundred and

92
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.959
twenty feet in a single weekend as it approached the

93
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.279
upper part of which Hazel Hill. The rover is now

94
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.439
operating in what's called the grow Morn Quad, named after

95
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.560
a Canadian National park in Newfoundland. Its next destination is

96
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.839
a region named which Hazel Hill, which presents exciting new

97
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.279
opportunities for geological study. Unlike the sandy terrain that dominated

98
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.279
much of the Crater Rim climb, this area appears to

99
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.079
have significantly more exposed rock, giving scientists a chance to

100
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.600
directly analyze the geological composition beneath the rover's wheels. This

101
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.800
exploration marks a pivotal moment in Mars research, as Perseverance

102
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.759
ventures into potentially some of the most ancient surface areas

103
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.560
on the red planet. The view from the crater rim

104
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.480
isn't just spectacular, it's a gateway to understanding Mars geological

105
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.399
history in ways we've never been able to before. Let's

106
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.879
turn our attention to one of the most fascinating objects

107
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.199
in our universe, the brown dwarf. These celestial bodies truly

108
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.879
live up to their reputation as cosmic misfits, occupying a

109
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.079
unique position between planets and stars. Imagine something that's too

110
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:10.879
big to be a planet, but too small to be

111
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.120
a proper star. That's exactly what a brown dwarf is.

112
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.800
Despite their name, brown dwarfs aren't actually brown at all.

113
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.319
The younger, larger ones are surprisingly hot and radiant, glowing

114
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.959
so brightly that they can be mistaken for red dwarf stars.

115
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.959
But as they age, they transform, shifting from fiery red

116
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.519
to magenta and eventually becoming so dim that we can

117
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.199
only detect them with our most sophisticated infrared telescopes. What

118
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:44.040
makes these objects particularly interesting is their relationship with nuclear fusion.

119
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.720
While they can't sustain hydrogen fusion like regular stars, they

120
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.560
do get to experience a brief moment of stellar glory.

121
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.160
In their cores they confuse deuterium into helium three, releasing

122
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.519
energy in the process, But this celestial light show is

123
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.439
short lived. Even the largest brown dwarfs exhaust their deuterium

124
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:08.000
fuel within a few million years. Here's something surprising. Despite

125
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.120
having up to eighty times the mass of Jupiter, brown

126
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.199
dwarfs aren't much larger in diameter than our Solar system's

127
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.839
biggest gas giant. This is because they lack the internal

128
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.639
energy source that helps stars maintain their size. Instead, they

129
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.439
rely on something called degeneracy pressure, a quantum force that

130
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.319
essentially puts a limit on how compact they can become.

131
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.919
After their brief fusion phase ends, brown dwarfs spend the

132
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.960
rest of their existence slowly cooling off as they wander

133
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.120
through the galaxy. Think of them as cosmic nomads, carrying

134
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.240
the remnant heat of their formation, gradually dimming over billions

135
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.080
of years until they become invisible to all but our

136
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.480
most sensitive instruments. They're truly unique objects that help us

137
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.120
understand the fine line between stars and planets and the

138
00:08:55.159 --> 00:09:00.799
incredible diversity of celestial bodies in our universe. SpaceX has

139
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.360
just inked an exciting new deal that will see two

140
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.480
more private astronaut missions heading to the International Space Station.

141
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.840
These missions will utilize SpaceX's tried and tested combination of

142
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.600
the Falcon nine rocket and crew Dragon capsule, marking another

143
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.919
significant step in the commercialization of space travel. The missions

144
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.559
were secured by vas Space, a California based company with

145
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.399
ambitious plans of their own. They're currently developing a private

146
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.799
space station called Haven one, which could be launching as

147
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.120
early as next year. This isn't just another space venture,

148
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.039
It's part of a larger strategy to position themselves as

149
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.840
a key player in the future of space exploration. What

150
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.600
makes this particularly interesting is how it ties into NASA's

151
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.720
broader plans for the future of the International Space Station.

152
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.159
As we look toward the ISS's planned retirement in twenty thirty,

153
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.360
Vaspace is already thinking ahead with their Haven two design,

154
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.039
a more advanced version of their initial space station. They're

155
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.519
aiming to have their first module operational by twenty twenty eight,

156
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.519
potentially providing a crucial bridge between the current ISS and

157
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.840
whatever comes next. While these private astronaut missions still need

158
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:17.480
NASA's final approval, they represent an important trend in space exploration.

159
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.759
They're part of a small but growing number of private

160
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.960
missions to the ISS, following in the footsteps of Axiom Space,

161
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.519
which has already successfully completed three such missions, with a

162
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.840
fourth planned for next spring. These developments highlight how quickly

163
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:37.080
the landscape of space exploration is evolving, with private companies

164
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.000
taking on increasingly significant roles in what was once exclusively

165
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:47.039
government territory. SpaceX's consistent ability to secure these contracts demonstrates

166
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.960
their pivotal role in making space more accessible, while companies

167
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.919
like Vast Space are pushing the boundaries of what private

168
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.240
enterprise can achieve in orbit. In an exciting development for

169
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:02.480
space technology enthusiasts and research alike, NASA has just unveiled

170
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.600
techport four point zero, a completely revamped version of their

171
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:11.440
Technology Portfolio system. This new platform represents the most significant

172
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.720
update to the system in five years, offering unprecedented access

173
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.480
to NASA's vast collection of space technologies. The upgraded system

174
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.240
now hosts information on more than eighteen thousand current and

175
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:29.480
historical NASA technologies, all accessible through a sleek, modernized interface.

176
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.240
One of the most impressive features is the new advanced

177
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.039
search capability, which allows users to filter and search through

178
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.879
every aspect of NASA's technology database with incredible precision. What

179
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.919
really sets this version apart is its new grid view feature,

180
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.360
enabling users to customize their research experience. Whether you're an

181
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.720
academic researcher, industry professional, or space enthusiast, you can now

182
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.519
tailor how you view and sort through NASA's technology data

183
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:02.399
to match your specific needs. Perhaps most intriguingly, techport four

184
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.440
point zero introduces an innovative machine learning tool called t Rex,

185
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.360
which automatically classifies technologies according to NASA's comprehensive taxonomy system.

186
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:15.360
This feature spans over three hundred and fifty categories, making

187
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.399
it easier than ever to navigate through NASA's extensive technology portfolio.

188
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.320
