1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.960
Welcome to today's edition of Astronomy Daily. My name is Anna,
2
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:07.000
and today we have an absolutely fascinating lineup of stories
3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.119
from across the cosmos, from a groundbreaking image of a
4
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.439
star on the brink of going supernova to major developments
5
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.199
in lunar exploration. We're covering some incredible advances in space
6
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.760
science and exploration. We'll take you on a journey to
7
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.160
witness the death throes of a massive star in a
8
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.640
neighboring galaxy, Explore new partnerships between space agencies that are
9
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.280
pushing the boundaries of exploration, and get the latest updates
10
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.719
on SpaceX's ambitious plans for their starship program. We'll also
11
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.359
hear about Canada's search for the perfect name for their
12
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.759
first Moon rover, discover the youngest exoplanet ever found using
13
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.159
the transit method, and look at the detailed preparations being
14
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.280
made to ensure astronauts safety on future Artemis missions to
15
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.560
the lunar surface. Let's get started. In a remarkable breakthrough,
16
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.719
astronomers have captured the first ever close up image of
17
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.920
a star in its final stages of life outside our galaxy,
18
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.040
located in the large Magellanic Cloud, approximately one hundred and
19
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.879
sixty thousand light years from Earth, The star known as
20
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.599
WHG sixty four is providing us with an unprecedented view
21
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.359
of the dramatic end stages of a massive star's life.
22
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:21.239
The image, though somewhat fuzzy, reveals something truly extraordinary, a
23
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.200
glowing egg shaped cocoon of gas and dust surrounding the
24
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.480
dying star, along with a faint oval ring extending beyond it.
25
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.439
This nebula formation appears to have been ejected by the
26
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.359
star itself as it approaches its inevitable explosive finale as
27
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.719
a supernova. Before beginning this process of shedding its outer layers,
28
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.519
WHG sixty four was estimated to be between twenty five
29
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.480
to forty times more massive than our Sun. To put
30
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.359
its current size into perspective, if we were to place
31
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.760
this stellar giant at the center of our Solar system,
32
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.920
it would extend all the way out to Saturn's orbit.
33
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.040
That's an absolutely massive star going through its final metamorphosis.
34
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.079
What makes this observation particularly exciting is that astronomers have
35
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.560
noticed significant changes in the star's appearance over just the
36
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.039
past decade. It's becoming progressively dimmer as it wraps itself
37
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.319
in more layers of expelled gas and dust, giving us
38
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.080
a rare opportunity to witness stellar evolution in real time.
39
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.159
The large Magellanic cloud where this dying star resides, offers
40
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.759
unique conditions for studying stellar evolution. With less dust and
41
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.039
fewer metallic elements than our Milky Way, it may provide
42
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.919
insights into what our own galaxy looked like in its youth,
43
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.039
and how stars lived and died in the early universe.
44
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.479
This groundbreaking image not only marks the first time we've
45
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.960
seen such detailed structures around a dying star in another galaxy,
46
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.199
but it also gives us a window into processes we've
47
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.360
never been able to witness before. It's literally showing us
48
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.080
how the biggest stars in our universe prepare for their
49
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:04.240
final spectacular end. Meanwhile, back here on Earth, the European
50
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.479
Space Agency and japan Aerospace Exploration Agency have just taken
51
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.400
a major step forward in international space collaboration, signing a
52
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:17.479
comprehensive agreement that promises to accelerate space exploration across multiple frontiers.
53
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.919
This new partnership, dubbed Next Big Cooperations, spans an impressive
54
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.560
range of initiatives. One of the most exciting aspects focuses
55
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.919
on planetary defense, with both agencies working to study the
56
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.759
asteroid Ofpofis during its close approach to Earth in twenty
57
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.080
twenty nine. The mission, known as ramsays could provide crucial
58
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.080
data about potentially hazardous asteroids. But that's just the beginning.
59
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.159
The agencies are also planning collaborative small lander missions to
60
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:48.199
Mars in the twenty thirties, combining their expertise in electric
61
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:53.479
propulsion and landing technologies. This builds on their already successful
62
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.360
partnership on missions like BEPI Colombo to Mercury and the
63
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:02.120
earth Care Climate monitoring satellite. Looking closer to home. Both
64
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.919
agencies are actively planning for life after the International Space Station,
65
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.520
developing new activities in low Earth orbit. They're also joining
66
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.800
forces on lunar exploration, sharing resources for testing, and working
67
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.839
to ensure their communication and navigation systems work seamlessly together
68
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.519
on the Moon. Perhaps most significantly, this partnership represents a
69
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:28.399
new model of international cooperation in space exploration. By combining
70
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:33.160
their unique capabilities and resources, ESAY and JACKSA are creating
71
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:38.600
opportunities that neither agency could achieve alone. This collaboration isn't
72
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.000
just about sharing costs. It's about accelerating scientific discovery and
73
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.480
expanding our capabilities in space. The agreement has already garnered
74
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.839
support from private space companies, with firms like I Space
75
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.879
seeing new opportunities for commercial lunar development. This blend of
76
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.079
government and commercial space activities could help establish a sustainable
77
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:03.480
presence beyond Earth while addressing critical challenges like planetary defense.
78
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.360
Some good news for SpaceX today, In what could be
79
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.279
a major boost for SpaceX's ambitious testing program, the Federal
80
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.160
Aviation Administration looks set to dramatically increase the company's launch
81
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.680
capacity at their Starbase facility in South Texas. A newly
82
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.920
released draft environmental assessment supports SpaceX's request to conduct up
83
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.680
to twenty five Starship launches annually from the site starting
84
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.959
in twenty twenty five. That's five times more than currently allowed.
85
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.360
The one hundred and sixty page assessment doesn't just cover launches,
86
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.120
It also approves up to twenty five landings each for
87
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.480
both the super heavy booster and the Starship upper stage
88
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.439
right back at Starbase. These wouldn't be splashed downs in
89
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.920
the ocean either. The plan calls for catching both vehicles
90
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.879
using the launch tower's mechanical arms, a technique SpaceX successfully
91
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.079
demonstrated during their fifth test flight when they caught a
92
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.399
returning super heavy booster. This expand launch cadence is crucial
93
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.120
for SpaceX's vision of making Starship the largest and most
94
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.360
powerful rocket ever built, fully and rapidly reusable. The company
95
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.439
isn't just aiming for multiple launches per month. Their ultimate
96
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.399
goal is multiple launches per day. That kind of launch
97
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.560
frequency would be revolutionary for space exploration, potentially opening up
98
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.800
regular trips to the Moon and Mars. While the assessment's
99
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.399
findings are still preliminary, with public meetings scheduled for early
100
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.800
January to discuss the environmental impact, this represents a significant
101
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.120
shift in regulatory approach. It suggests that safety and environmental
102
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.759
concerns can be balanced with the need to advance spaceflight capabilities,
103
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.800
especially for a vehicle as important as Starship, which NASA
104
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.639
has selected as the Lunar lander for their Artemis program.
105
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.800
And timing couldn't be better, as Starship's test program continues
106
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.519
to make impressive progress. Just this week, the vehicle completed
107
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.079
its sixth test flight, achieving multiple mission objectives, despite a
108
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.759
minor communications issue that prevented another attempt tower catch. Each
109
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.759
flight brings valuable data and gets us one step closer
110
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.120
to regular, reliable operations of this revolutionary spacecraft. Here's an
111
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.600
exciting development from the USA's neighbors to the north. Canada
112
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.600
is getting ready to join the new era of lunar
113
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.720
exploration with their very first Moon rover, and they want
114
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:22.040
the public's help in choosing its name. The Canadian Space
115
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.920
Agency has launched a worldwide naming contest for this pioneering machine,
116
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.480
which is scheduled to touch down on the lunar surface
117
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.879
in twenty twenty six. The rover will be part of
118
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.519
Canada's growing contribution to NASA's Artemis program, joining Canadian astronaut
119
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.879
Jeremy Hansen, who's already been selected for the Artemis two
120
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.800
mission that will orbit the Moon. This robotic explorer has
121
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.959
an important job ahead. It's designed to search for water
122
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.079
ice near the Moon's south pole while testing innovative technologies
123
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.040
and gathering crucial scientific data. The shortlisted names each carries
124
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:00.639
special significance. There's Athabasca, named after the mighty river flowing
125
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:06.480
from the Rockies through Alberta, reflecting Canada's natural pathways of discovery, Courage,
126
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.040
speaks to the decades of expertise that have led to
127
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.920
this mission. Glacier draws a connection between the rover's ice
128
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.240
hunting mission and Canada's own icy landscapes, while Paul R.
129
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.519
Cleverly references both Canada's northern identity and the Rover's destination
130
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.639
at the lunar South Pole. If you'd like to have
131
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.800
your say in naming this historic machine, you can cast
132
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.839
your vote through December twentieth on the Canadian Space Agency's website.
133
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.960
It's a rare chance to help write a piece of
134
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.519
space exploration history and connect Canada's heritage with humanity's returned
135
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:43.759
to the Moon. Next, in a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have
136
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.519
detected what appears to be the youngest planet ever found
137
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.039
using the transit method. At just three million years old,
138
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.879
this cosmic infant gives us an unprecedented look at planetary
139
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.639
formation in its earliest stages. The planet, officially designated as
140
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.000
Iris zero four one two five plus twenty nine hundred
141
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:06.480
two B but nicknamed Tidy one B by researchers, was
142
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.919
spotted about five hundred and twenty light years away in
143
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:13.799
the constellation Taurus. What makes this discovery particularly remarkable is
144
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.679
that planets this young are usually completely hidden within the
145
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:21.879
dusty disks surrounding their parent stars. However, a fortunate cosmic
146
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.720
coincidence may have helped reveal this one to our telescopes.
147
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.080
Scientists believe a passing star might have disturbed the dust
148
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.960
disc around the young star, warping it in such a
149
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.480
way that created a clear window for us to observe
150
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.720
the developing planet. This lucky break has given astronomers their
151
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.960
first close look at a planet during its formative years,
152
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.000
something previously thought impossible at this early stage. The planet
153
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:49.279
itself is quite intriguing. It's nearly as wide as Jupiter,
154
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.480
but less than a third as massive. It completes an
155
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.080
orbit of its star every eight point eight three days,
156
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.360
placing it in a category of planets that's completely missing
157
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.200
from our Solar System, somewhere between Neptune sized worlds and
158
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.000
super earths. Even more fascinating, the planet appears to be
159
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.159
actively losing mass, potentially offering us a glimpse at how
160
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.759
different types of planets evolve. This discovery challenges our understanding
161
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.519
of how quickly planets can form. For comparison, its belief
162
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.320
that Earth took between ten and twenty million years to
163
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.159
fully form, making this new world a remarkably fast developer.
164
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.559
The finding opens up exciting new possibilities for studying planetary
165
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:32.480
formation and may help us better understand how the incredible
166
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.600
diversity of planets we see in the universe comes to be.
167
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:40.840
Now this is fascinating. Space X and NASA have unveiled
168
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.519
new details about how they plan to land astronauts on
169
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.480
the Moon using Starship, offering a glimpse into the complex
170
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.840
choreography of these upcoming lunar missions. The recently released artwork
171
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.759
shows a specially modified version of Starship known as the
172
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.720
Human Landing System, sporting a sleek white exterior and designed
173
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.039
specifically for lunar operations. This lunar variant of Starship will
174
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.960
need to perform an intricate series of maneuvers to accomplish
175
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.559
its mission. After launching from Earth, it will require orbital refueling,
176
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.279
with two starships meeting belly to belly in space to
177
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:17.039
transfer the vital propellant. The lunar Starship will then venture
178
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.240
to the Moon, where it will perform a precise docking
179
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:25.600
maneuver with NASA's Orion spacecraft, allowing astronauts to transfer between
180
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:30.279
the vehicles. The modified starship features several key differences from
181
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:34.000
its Earth focused counterpart, including special windows for the crew
182
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.399
and an elevator system to safely lower astronauts to the
183
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:42.679
lunar surface once it successfully lands. Astronauts have already begun
184
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.600
testing these systems, with Peggy Witsen and Doug Wheelock conducting
185
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:51.840
simulations in Axiom Space's lunar suits at SpaceX headquarters. Meanwhile,
186
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.559
NASA is taking no chances when it comes to crue
187
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.120
safety on the lunar surface, and they are looking for
188
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.759
your ideas. The agency has launched an a new challenge
189
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.519
seeking innovative solutions for emergency situations during moon walks. They're
190
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.519
specifically looking for ways that a single astronaut could rescue
191
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.240
an incapacitated colleague up to two kilometers away from their
192
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.080
landing site without relying on a rover. If you think
193
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.480
you have a great idea and want to make a submission,
194
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.279
just head on over to the Hero's website for details
195
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.000
on how to do that. I'll include a link in
196
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.200
the show notes. There's some good prize money at Stake two,
197
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.000
with a total of forty five thousand dollars in prize
198
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.200
money being distributed among five winning participants, including a first
199
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.960
and second place winner and up to three third place winners.
200
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.919
These developments come as NASA adjusts its timeline for the
201
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:45.799
Artemis program, with the first crude lunar landing now targeted
202
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:49.679
for September twenty twenty six. While this represents a delay
203
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.799
from earlier plans, it reflects the careful attention being paid
204
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.720
to crue safety and mission success in what will be
205
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.480
humanity's returned to the lunar surface after more than fifty years.
