explore the far reaching implications of NASA's Dart mission on
10
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.120
asteroid Dimorphose.
11
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:28.359
That's not all.
12
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.159
We'll also uncover the latest discovery from the Hubble Space Telescope,
13
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.600
which has located a fascinating mini galaxy, and we'll look
14
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.000
ahead to observing Salsa satellite's re entry event. So sit back, relax,
15
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.920
and let's journey through the Cosmos together. Let's dive right
16
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.880
into our first story, SpaceX's Polaristawn mission, which has experienced
17
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.439
yet another delay. SpaceX's ambitious Polariston astronaut mission was originally
18
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.479
set to launch in late August from NASA's Kennedy Space
19
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.719
Center in Florida. However, it has faced multiple delays, the
20
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.679
most recent due to unfavorable weather forecasts and a helium
21
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.879
leak on Monday, August twenty sixth, pre flight checkouts revealed
22
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.159
the need for further postponements. A subsequent attempt was made
23
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.480
on Tuesday, August twenty seventh, but this was thwarted by
24
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.719
a helium leak detected just before the launch. To add
25
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.840
to the hurdles, unfavorable weather conditions off the coast of
26
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.280
Florida prompted the team to stand down from both the
27
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.959
Tuesday and Wednesday launch windows. As of now, the earliest
28
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:29.000
possible liftoff could be Friday, August thirtieth. As of now,
29
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.200
SpaceX has not announced a new target launch date, but
30
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.760
the team remains hopeful and is diligently monitoring both technical
31
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.920
and weather conditions to ensure a safe and successful mission.
32
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.280
Stay tuned for more updates as we follow the progress
33
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.959
of this groundbreaking mission. Let's dive into the fascinating world
34
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:50.280
of Venus. Recently, scientists have observed an unexpected increase in
35
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.879
the level of deuterium relative to hydrogen in Venus's atmosphere.
36
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.959
While this might sound like a minor detail, the potential
37
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.599
consequences are monumental and could significantly alter our e understanding
38
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.239
of this mysterious planet. To understand the importance of this discovery,
39
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.120
we first need to explore what deuterium and hydrogen actually are.
40
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.680
Both are isotopes of the same element, which means they
41
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.439
have the same number of protons, but differ in their
42
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.000
number of neutrons. This difference in atomic mass can lead
43
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.039
to variations in their behavior, particularly in atmospheric processes. Historically,
44
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.840
Venus and Earth were believed to share similar HDO or
45
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.319
heavy water and H two O ratios. Since both planets
46
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.919
formed in the same hot region of the early Solar System,
47
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.319
where water couldn't condense. It's thought that water, along with
48
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.280
other volatile elements like carbon and nitrogen, was delivered.
49
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.159
To these worlds by water rich asteroids.
50
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.879
This should have resulted in similar deuterium to hydrogen dh
51
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.000
ratios on both planets. However, new data throws this assumption
52
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.800
into question. By pouring over data from the Solar occultation
53
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.719
in the infrared SOIR instrument on the Venus Express Space Probe,
54
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.639
operational from two thousand and six to Twin twenty fourteen,
55
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.280
scientists found that the HDO ratio is now one hundred
56
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.159
and twenty times higher compared to H two O in
57
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:11.120
Venus's atmosphere. This change is primarily due to solar radiation
58
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:15.199
breaking down water isodopulogs in the upper atmosphere, producing hydrogen
59
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.960
and deuterium atoms. Since hydrogen atoms escape into space more
60
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.759
easily due to their lower mass, the DH ratio in
61
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.439
Venus's atmosphere has been gradually increasing. More intriguingly, the concentration
62
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.520
of water molecules increases with altitude between seventy and one
63
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.439
hundred and ten kilometers above Venus's surface. At these altitudes,
64
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.759
the ratio of HDO to H two O becomes staggeringly elevated,
65
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.080
around one thousand, five hundred times higher than in Earth's oceans.
66
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.800
This indicates that Venus's atmosphere contains much more deuterium rich
67
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.719
water compared to Earth, alluding to significant differences in the
68
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.639
atmospheric processes of the two planets. So there you have it,
69
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.360
another intriguing mystery in our Solar system brought to light.
70
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.560
These findings open the door for numerous questions and further studies,
71
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.560
making Venus an even more captivating subject of astronomical research.
72
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.280
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test or DART mission has provided
73
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.319
some groundbreaking insights into asteroid dynamics and planetary defense. The
74
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.719
mission made headlines when it intentionally collided with the asteroid
75
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.319
moon Demorphose, and researchers are now revealing that this impact
76
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.279
didn't just alter the Moon's trajectory, it also significantly changed
77
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.759
its shape. These changes are more complex than previously thought
78
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.639
and could have far reaching implications for our understanding of
79
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.079
asteroid evolution. Originally, scientists had predicted how DART would affect
80
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.439
the Ditamos Demorphos system, but the real world outcomes were
81
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.759
even more dramatic than expected. The collision not only created
82
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.839
a massive crater, but also reshaped Dimorphose from an oblate
83
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.759
Hamburger like form into a more elongated, football like shape.
84
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.040
This shift altered the moon's gravitational relationship with its parent
85
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:56.759
asteroid Ditamos. Surprisingly, Detamos itself remained relatively unchanged, highlighting its
86
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.959
firmness and rigidity despite the debris scattered by the impact.
87
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.959
Derek Richardson, a professor of astronomy at the University of
88
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.759
Maryland and a lead researcher on the project, noted that
89
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.480
the results challenge our conventional ideas about how small celestial
90
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.800
bodies form and evolve. Traditionally, it was believed that such
91
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.079
moons would naturally point their elongated axis towards the primary
92
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:22.279
body due to gravitational influences. However, the post impact changes
93
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:27.000
in de MorphOS suggest a more intricate gravitational interaction. Interestingly,
94
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.279
the gravitational disruption between Demorphose and Ditamos has led to some.
95
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.839
Unusual orbital behaviors.
96
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.600
The debris generated by the collision shortened de Morphos's orbit
97
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.279
around Ditamos, and the Moon might now be in a
98
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.680
state of chaotic tumbling, akin to our moon always having
99
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.680
one face towards the Earth, but now knocked out of alignment.
100
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.759
This tumbling could continue for a significant period as the
101
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.439
system attempts to regain gravitational equilibrium. Looking ahead, Richardson and
102
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.319
his team are eager to see how this altered state
103
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.720
affects future space missions. The upcoming European Space Agencies haramission
104
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.959
will provide a closer examination of the binary asteroid system
105
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.319
by late twenty twenty six. HERA aims to assess the
106
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.240
internal properties of both Dimorphose and Ditamos, providing vital data
107
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.839
that could refine our planetary defense strategies. This is particularly
108
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.879
important because Dart's findings are invaluable for real world applications.
109
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:22.240
By understanding how an artificial impact changes in asteroids physical
110
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.959
properties and trajectory, we can better prepare for the possibility
111
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.079
of diverting potentially hazardous asteroids away from Earth. Our lab
112
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.560
experiments and computer simulations can't replicate these complex gravitational dynamics
113
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.600
as precisely, making missions like DART essential for gathering real
114
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:39.199
world data.
115
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:40.680
The hope is that.
116
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.240
These insights will contribute to methods of asteroid deflection that
117
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.240
are both effective and efficient. Richardson emphasizes that while the
118
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.360
chances of a threatening asteroid or comet hitting Earth are low,
119
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.240
they are not zero. With the success of DART, humanity
120
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.279
now has an additional tool in its arsenal for planetary defense,
121
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:03.199
offering a measure of protect against potential cosmic threats. As
122
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.959
scientists continue to monitor de MorphOS and the Didamo system,
123
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.639
one of the burning questions is whether the Moon will
124
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:14.800
eventually stabilize enough for future exploratory missions, including possibly landing
125
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:19.439
spacecraft to gather more detailed data. In essence, NASA's DART
126
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.639
mission has not only furthered our understanding of asteroid behavior,
127
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.959
but also paved the way for future space exploration and
128
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.519
defense technologies. The revelations about Dimorphos's altered state promised to
129
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.959
keep the scientific community buzzing with excitement and anticipation for
130
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.439
years to come. And now let's look at a new
131
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.759
discovery from the Hubble Nestled against a backdrop of distant
132
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.240
celestial bodies, a glittering collection of stars has been captured
133
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.839
by NASA's Hubble Space telescope. This wondrous site forms the
134
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:52.079
Pegasus Dwarf's spheroidal galaxy, also known as Andromeda six. It's
135
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.480
a modest member of a vast cosmic family, yet it
136
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.680
offers monumental insights into the universe's grand narrative. Situated within
137
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.639
our local group of galaxies, the Pegasus Dwarf's Spheroidal Galaxy
138
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.759
is one of at least thirteen dwarf companions orbiting the
139
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.839
well known Andromeda Galaxy also called Messier thirty one. In
140
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.959
the grand scheme of things, these dwarf galaxies are the
141
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.600
dimmest and least massive, yet their elliptical shapes and smooth
142
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:21.240
star distributions hide a galaxy formation tail that captivates astronomers.
143
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.399
Discovered in nineteen ninety eight, Pegasus Dwarf holds particular significance
144
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.920
due to its unique composition. Unlike many other galaxies in
145
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.080
its category, it has a slightly higher content of heavy
146
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.840
elements and a smidgen of gas that has, against the odds,
147
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:40.679
supported minor star formation. However, this sparse raw material is
148
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:45.159
still insufficient for creating new generations of stars making Researchers
149
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.799
attribute the lack of it to the gravitational impact of
150
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.799
its massive neighbor, Andromeda. Over time, Andromeda is thought to
151
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.960
have drained Pegasus Dwarf of its star making gases, much
152
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.879
like a cosmic giant siphoning life from its petite companion.
153
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.360
What intrigues scientists is how these dwarf spherroidal galaxies, including
154
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.360
Pegasus Dwarf, come into being. Several theories are on the
155
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.120
cosmic drawing board. Some suggest these many galaxies might form
156
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.159
from fragments broken off larger galactic collisions, while others propose
157
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.080
that the gravitational forces exerted by massive galaxies like Andromeda
158
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:21.240
shape these small systems. Another hypothesis highlights the role of
159
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.720
dark matter. A mysterious substance thought to make up a
160
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.559
large portion of the universe's mass. It's believed that Pegasus
161
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:32.000
Dwarf and its ilk could shrink into existence among clusters
162
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.679
of this elusive dark matter, warping space and time to
163
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.080
create such fascinating formations. The light we see from the
164
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.320
stars and Pegasus Dwarf speaks to us from a time
165
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.039
long gone. The galaxy's star population is predominantly older, having
166
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.279
spent their lives in the low density, gas poor environment
167
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.600
of the Dwarf galaxy. Through Hubble's lens, researchers delve into
168
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.279
these ancient stars secrets, piecing together the life history of
169
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:01.279
such galaxies and their roles in the large galactic ecosystem.
170
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.000
As we reported last week, on September eighth, twenty twenty four,
171
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.679
an exciting event is set to unfold as the Salsa
172
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.240
satellite re enters Earth's atmosphere. This isn't just any re entry,
173
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.720
it's a notable milestone in space exploration and satellite technology.
174
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.559
Salsa is one of the four satellites from the European
175
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.080
Space Agency's e SAY long running Cluster mission. What makes
176
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.279
this re entry special is that it will be observed
177
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:27.000
live from the sky, scientists have prepared an airborne observation
178
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.840
experiment to closely watch and gather rare data on how
179
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.159
the satellite breaks apart upon re entry. This data is
180
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.159
invaluable because understanding the finer details of satellite disintegration can
181
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.120
lead to designing satellites that re enter more safely and
182
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:43.360
sustainably in the future. Over the past seven decades of
183
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.080
space exploration, although approximately ten thousand intact satellites and rocket
184
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.159
bodies have re entered our atmosphere, the specifics of what
185
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.720
happens during these re entries remain unclear. This experiment with
186
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.039
Salsa aims to change that. The head of Space Safety
187
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.840
at ESA, Holger Krag, emphasized the the importance of re
188
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.000
entry science in efforts to keep our orbits around Earth clean.
189
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.480
He stated, to remove a satellite quickly from orbit after
190
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.759
its mission ends, and to prevent space debris, understanding the
191
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.080
re entry process is essential. The insights from Salsa's re
192
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.759
entry are expected to be groundbreaking, helping us refine satellite
193
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:22.080
design and operations to minimize space debris effectively. The observation
194
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.200
mission involves an aircraft equipped with over twenty scientific instruments,
195
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.399
including cameras and spectrographs.
196
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.360
These instruments are designed.
197
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.399
To capture as much data as possible when SALSA re
198
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.200
enters the atmosphere. Interestingly, the first of the cluster satellites
199
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.000
to re enter has been strategically scheduled to fall over
200
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.320
a remote area in the South Pacific Ocean. This region
201
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:45.559
was chosen to minimize the risk to populated areas, as
202
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.559
most of the satellite will disintegrate within minutes of hitting
203
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:53.600
the atmosphere, although some fragments may survive. The predictable nature
204
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.000
of salsa's re entry time and location makes it possible
205
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.799
for scientists to be in place with their observation equipment.
206
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:04.320
This predictability stems from the cluster satellite's highly eccentric orbits,
207
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.919
which cause substantial altitude loss at Perige, the point closest
208
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.000
to Earth in the satellites orbit. The re entry Observation
209
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:17.320
Mission dubbed Rosy. SALSA showcases a collaborative effort involving academic
210
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.320
and industrial partners such as the University of Stuttgart, Comenius
211
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:26.600
University in Bratislava, University of Southern Queensland, Hypersonic Technology, gotting
212

In and ASTROS Solutions in close cooperation with ESA. Jerry Silha,
213
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:37.279
CEO of Astros Solutions, highlighted the mission's challenges, stating, this
214
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.639
is a very challenging mission due to the unpredictable nature
215
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.080
of re entry events. However, with experts in both science
216
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.240
and technical preparation, we are confident in securing all the
217
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:52.720
relevant scientific data from Salsa's re entry. Thank you for
