1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.520
Welcome to Astronomy Daily. I'm your host, Anna, and today
2
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:05.160
we've got a lot of news to cover and some
3
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:10.199
fascinating developments in space exploration and astronomical discoveries. We'll start
4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.640
with an incredible milestone aboard the International Space Station where
5
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.519
astronaut Sunny Williams has just broken the record for total
6
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.879
space walking time during a crucial maintenance mission with fellow
7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.320
astronaut which Wilmore. It seems to be their week, doesn't it.
8
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.320
Then we'll dive into the latest updates on Boeing's Starliner investigation,
9
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.519
where engineers are making significant progress in understanding what went
10
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.960
wrong during last year's test flight. Get ready for some
11
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.920
mind bending numbers as we explore a groundbreaking discovery of
12
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:43.159
hundreds of hidden supermassive black holes lurking in the Cosmos
13
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.759
and why scientists believe there could be billions more out there.
14
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.399
We'll also examine intriguing new research about Mars's ancient climate
15
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.320
that's helping us understand how the red planet may have
16
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.399
sustained liquid water billions of years ago. And finally, we'll
17
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.880
look at some spectacular new view use of our planet,
18
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.719
including a unique perspective from a Japanese moonlander, and an
19
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.799
exciting new way to watch Earth from space in stunning
20
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.799
four K resolution. So let's get into it. A remarkable
21
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.799
spacewalk took place yesterday aboard the International Space Station, where
22
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.959
NASA astronauts Sunny Williams and Butch Wilmore ventured outside for
23
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.599
a critical maintenance mission lasting over five hours. During this spacewalk,
24
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.840
Williams achieved something truly extraordinary. She surpassed former astronaut Peggy
25
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.920
Whitson's record for total spacewalking time, bringing her cumulative time
26
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.599
in the vacuum of space to an impressive sixty two
27
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.560
hours and six minutes. The primary objective of their mission
28
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.120
was to remove faulty radio communications hardware, specifically an S
29
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:50.040
band antenna system that had previously resisted removal attempts during
30
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:54.560
two earlier spacewalks. Using a specially designed wrench tool, Williams
31
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:58.280
and Wilmore successfully extracted the problematic equipment, which will be
32
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.959
returned to Earth for refurbishment. But the mission didn't stop there.
33
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.079
After completing the hardware removal, Wilmore conducted and fascinating experiment
34
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.240
collecting samples from various locations on the station's exterior. This
35
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.879
experiment aims to determine whether the ISS releases microorganisms into space,
36
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.639
a crucial investigation for future space exploration. While we thoroughly
37
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.599
sterilize all spacecraft and space suits before launch, humans carry
38
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:30.599
their own microorganisms, which are constantly regenerating. Understanding which microorganisms
39
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.919
can survive in the harsh environment of space has significant
40
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.360
implications for our upcoming Artemis missions to the Moon and
41
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.240
eventual human missions to Mars. Scientists are particularly interested in
42
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.560
learning whether any of these microscopic stowaways could become what
43
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.039
we call extremophiles, organisms capable of surviving in the most
44
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.360
challenging conditions similar to those found in deep sea hydrothermal
45
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.360
vents here on Earth. This space walk marks Williams's ninth
46
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.240
venture outside the station and Wilmore's fifth, but only the
47
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.759
first time together, contributing to the ongoing legacy of the
48
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:10.680
ISS's maintenance and scientific advancement. Their experience and expertise were
49
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.199
evident throughout the mission as they methodically worked through their
50
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.120
tasks while floating two hundred and fifty miles above our planet.
51
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:22.280
They're just getting on with the job. While controversy over
52
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.360
their return seems to be swirling around them down here
53
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.879
on Earth, and an update concerning the two of them
54
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.840
in a significant update from NASA's Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel.
55
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.439
Boeing and NASA are making substantial progress in their investigation
56
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.199
of the issues that arose during last year's Starliner test flight.
57
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.560
The mission, which carried astronauts which Wilmore and Sunny Williams
58
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.000
to the International Space Station, encountered several challenges that ultimately
59
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.840
led to the spacecraft returning to Earth without its crew.
60
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.120
The investigation teams have begun closing out various flight observations
61
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.400
and addressing in flight anomalies. However, one critical issue remains
62
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:07.879
under intense scrutiny, the spacecraft's propulsion system multiple thrusters unexpectedly
63
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.280
shut down during the approach to the station, and the
64
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.039
system experience concerning helium leaks. These propulsion system anomalies are
65
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.439
still being actively investigated through ongoing test campaigns. Teams are
66
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.519
currently working on three fronts, determining the root cause of
67
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:27.560
the thruster problems, developing recommendations for modifications to future missions,
68
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.920
and examining both technical and organizational factors that may have
69
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.240
contributed to these issues. The Safety Panel has expressed confidence
70
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.000
that NASA and Boeing are focusing their attention on the
71
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.600
right core issues and following an appropriate path towards safely
72
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.439
flying Starliner again. Looking ahead to future flights, NASA is
73
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.120
keeping all options on the table for achieving system certification.
74
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.439
While specific timing hasn't been announced, the agency is exploring
75
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.480
potential flight opportunities for Starliner in twenty twenty five. This
76
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.000
careful approach reflects now USA's commitment to ensuring all safety
77
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.040
concerns are fully addressed before the next mission. The financial
78
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.240
impact of these delays continues to affect Boeing, with the
79
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.680
company anticipating another significant charge against earnings in the fourth
80
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.240
quarter of twenty twenty four. Meanwhile, leadership changes are occurring
81
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.000
within the program, including the planned retirement of Mark Knappy,
82
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.680
who served as Starliner's program manager during the test flight.
83
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:31.079
This thorough investigation demonstrates the space industry's unwavering commitment to
84
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.240
safety and the methodical approach required when developing human space
85
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.519
flight systems. While progress may seem slow to outside observers,
86
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.519
this meticulous attention to detail is essential for ensuring the
87
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.600
safety of future astronaut crews. It seems we find out
88
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.680
something new about black holes almost every day, and today
89
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:55.199
is no exception. In an exciting astronomical breakthrough, scientists have
90
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.399
discovered hundreds of previously hidden super massive black holes lurking
91
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.000
in the depths of our universe. These cosmic giants, each
92
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.680
containing at least one hundred thousand times the mass of
93
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.879
our Sun, were found by using innovative infrared detection methods
94
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.399
to peer through dense clouds of cosmic dust and gas
95
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.720
that had kept them hidden from view. What makes this
96
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.639
discovery particularly fascinating is that it suggests we've been significantly
97
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.120
underestimating the number of supermassive black holes in our universe.
98
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.160
While previous estimates suggested that about fifteen percent of these
99
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.120
massive objects were hidden from view, new research indicates that
100
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.360
number could be closer to thirty five percent, or possibly
101
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.759
even fifty percent. This means there could be billions, or
102
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.120
perhaps even trillions of these cosmic behemoths scattered throughout the universe.
103
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.480
To make these discoveries, astronomers combined data from NASA's Infrared
104
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.720
Astronomical Satellite and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array. Even though
105
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.879
the infrared satellite operated for just ten months back in
106
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.920
nineteen eighty three. Its data proved invaluable when combined with
107
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:06.680
modern observations, allowing researchers to detect the infrared signatures of
108
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.040
these hidden giants. These findings aren't just about adding numbers
109
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.160
to our cosmic sensus. They're reshaping our understanding of how
110
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.720
galaxies form and evolve. Supermassive black holes appear to play
111
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.879
a crucial role in controlling galaxy formation, acting like cosmic
112
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.720
architects that help determine the size and structure of their
113
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.879
host galaxies. In fact, our own Milky Way would look
114
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.199
quite different without its central black hole. We'd likely see
115
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.399
many more stars in our night sky if it weren't
116
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:39.079
for its influence. The discovery also demonstrates how far our
117
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.879
detection capabilities have come. By using multiple wavelengths of light
118
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.079
and combining historical data with new observations, astronomers are increasingly
119
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.720
able to pierce through the cosmic veils that have hidden
120
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:53.879
these massive objects from view. This multi wavelength approach is
121
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.399
opening new windows into the universe, allowing us to see
122
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.120
what was previously invisible and helping us better understand the
123
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.439
cosmic forces that shape our universe. Time now for a
124
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.199
Mars update. In groundbreaking new research from Harvard's School of
125
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.959
Engineering and Applied Sciences, scientists have uncovered fascinating details about
126
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.639
Mars's ancient climate patterns. The red planet, which we know
127
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.199
was once much wetter and more earth like, apparently experienced
128
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.800
dramatic swings between hot and cold periods during its early history.
129
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:29.439
These temperature fluctuations occurred between four and three billion years ago,
130
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.919
with each cycle lasting at least one hundred thousand years
131
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.440
within a broader forty million year period. What's particularly intriguing
132
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.559
is how Mars managed to maintain its warmth despite being
133
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.320
further from the Sun, which was also fainter in those
134
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.279
early days. The key to this climate puzzle appears to
135
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.200
be hydrogen in the Martian atmosphere. When hydrogen combined with
136
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.720
carbon atoms, it created carbon dioxide that trapped heat through
137
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:57.399
the greenhouse effect, similar to what we experience on Earth today.
138
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.679
But here's the fascinating part. The process that kept Mars
139
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.840
warm had an ironic twist. As the planet lost water
140
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.240
from its atmosphere to the ground, it actually replenished the
141
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:14.519
atmospheric hydrogen, helping to sustain these warm periods. The chemical
142
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.320
changes during these periods were equally complex. Carbon dioxide in
143
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.639
the atmosphere would react with sunlight to produce carbon monoxide.
144
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.080
During warm spells, this carbon monoxide would convert back to
145
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:29.360
carbon dioxide in a continuous cycle. However, if Mars stayed
146
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.919
cold for too long, this recycling process would stall, leading
147
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.279
to a build up of carbon monoxide and oxygen. While
148
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.000
these findings help explain how Mars maintain liquid water on
149
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.080
its surface, they also raise interesting questions about the possibility
150
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:47.200
of ancient Martian life. The temperature swings and changing oxygen
151
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:51.559
levels might have created challenging conditions for any potential life forms.
152
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.480
When temperatures dropped and oxygen levels rose, any existing organisms
153
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.559
would have faced significant survival challenges. Looking ahead, scientists plan
154
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.840
to test these theories by examining actual Martian rocks and
155
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.200
soil that NASA hopes to bring back to Earth through
156
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:12.039
the Mars Sample Return Mission. This could help us finally
157
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.679
unlock the secrets of Mars's lost world and better understand
158
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:20.240
the complex history of our neighboring planet. Space photography has
159
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.759
given us some remarkable new perspectives this week, with two
160
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:29.080
exciting developments capturing our attention Japanese space company I Space's
161
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.840
Resilience Lunar lander has provided us with a striking view
162
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.360
of Earth from its current orbital position, offering a unique
163
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:40.240
glimpse of our planet's most remote location. The image, taken
164
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:44.200
from approximately six thousand miles above Earth, captured Point Nemo,
165
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.879
the most isolated spot on our planet, situated nearly one thousand,
166
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.399
six hundred and seventy miles from the nearest land. The
167
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.879
photo serves as a poignant reminder of the vast emptiness
168
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:59.639
of space as Resilience continues its four month journey toward
169
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.840
its place landing site in the Moon's Mare Frigoris, or
170
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.240
Sea of Cold. In other imaging news, we're now able
171
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.159
to experience the overview effect that profound shift in perspective
172
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.279
astronauts report when seeing Earth from space. Thanks to a

Space Station, the Space TV I camera suite, operated by
175
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:25.159
space streaming company SEN, is now providing continuous four K
176
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:29.039
views of our planet and the surrounding space environment. This
177
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:34.039
groundbreaking system features three distinct cameras offering different perspectives, one
178
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.879
capturing Earth's curved horizon, another providing detailed views of our
179
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.320
planet's surface, covering areas of about one hundred fifty by
180
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.240
one hundred ten miles, and a third focused on the
181
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:48.480
station's forward docking port. The cameras have already proven their worth,
182
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:53.960
capturing impressive footage of various phenomena, including Hurricane Milton last October.
183
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.799
The live stream is freely available to the public, marking
184
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:02.039
a significant step forward in making space more accessible to everyone.
185
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.600
While there are occasional interruptions due to communication dead spots,
186
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:10.120
this unprecedented access to real time views from space represents
187
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:13.600
a remarkable achievement in bringing the Space station experience to
