00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.520
Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your source for the latest space

2
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:06.839
and astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna, and today we've

3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.640
got an exciting lineup of stories spanning from groundbreaking NASA launches,

4
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.800
to mysterious signals from space, and a reminder about a

5
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.679
spectacular upcoming lunar eclipse. We'll be diving deep into some

6
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.600
fascinating developments that showcase just how dynamic our understanding of

7
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.679
the Cosmos continues to be. So let's get started with

8
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.960
today's news. Let's kick things off with a launch that

9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.359
could have a lot of people saying at last. NASA

10
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.359
has just achieved another milestone with a remarkable two for

11
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.719
one launch that sent both the SPHEREx telescope and the

12
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.439
Punch mission into orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon nine rocket.

13
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.719
This joint launch from Vandenberg Space Force Space represents a

14
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:51.079
smart way to maximize science while minimizing costs. SPHEREx, which

15
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.000
stands for spectro Photometer for the History of the Universe,

16
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.960
Epic of Realization and ICE's Explorer, will spend the next

17
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.759
two years creating the most detailed map of our universe

18
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.759
ever attempted. It will survey more than four hundred and

19
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.680
fifty million galaxies and over one hundred million stars in

20
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.040
our own galaxy, all while looking at the sky in

21
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.159
one hundred and two different colors of infrared light. What

22
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.680
makes this telescope truly special is its ability to search

23
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.879
for the basic ingredients of life throughout the Milky Way.

24
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.319
It will peer into molecular clouds where new stars and

25
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.040
planets are forming, looking specifically for water, ice, and other

26
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:35.159
organic molecules that could help us understand how life might

27
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:39.959
emerge elsewhere in the universe. Meanwhile, the Punch mission, consisting

28
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.840
of four small satellites working in perfect synchronization, will give

29
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.680
us an unprecedented view of our Sun's outer atmosphere and

30
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.079
the solar wind. Think of it as a cosmic weather station,

31
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.640
helping us better understand and potentially predict space weather that

32
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.799
can affect everything from our power grids to our satellite communications. Together,

33
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.719
these missions showcase nasa'sibility to study both the very large

34
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.240
and the relatively close to home. While SPHEREx looks out

35
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.240
toward the farthest reaches of space, Punch will keep a

36
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.520
watchful eye on our own stellar neighbor, helping us better

37
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.479
understand the complex relationship between the Sun and Earth. This

38
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.639
launch marks an exciting new chapter in space exploration, promising

39
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.240
to fill in crucial gaps in our understanding of both

40
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.960
our cosmic origins and our daily interaction with our home star.

41
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.800
The data from these missions will not only help answer

42
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.400
long standing questions about the universe, but will likely raise

43
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.159
fascinating new ones as well. Next up today, in a

44
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.800
fascinating turn of events, new research has cast significant doubt

45
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.919
on what was previously thought to be evidence of an

46
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.759
interstellar visitor. The story revolves around a meteor that blazed

47
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.280
through Earth's atmosphere back in twenty fourteen, creating quite a

48
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.759
stir in the scientific community when researchers claim to have

49
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.639
recovered fragments of it from the Pacific Ocean in twenty

50
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.400
twenty three. Initially the discovery seemed groundbreaking. Harvard scientists led

51
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.639
by physicist Avi Loeb had used what they believed were

52
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.159
seismic signals to pinpoint the meteor's location and subsequently recovered

53
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.400
hundreds of tiny metallic spheres from the ocean floor. These

54
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.680
spherals showed unusual concentrations of elements like beryllium, lanthanum, and uranium,

55
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.159
leading to bold claims about their potential extraterrestrial or even

56
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:34.120
artificial origin. However, a new international research team led by

57
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.439
scientists from Johns Hopkins University has revealed a rather mundane

58
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.960
explanation for the seismic signals that guided the original search.

59
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.120
What was thought to be the signature of an interstellar

60
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.639
object entering our atmosphere was actually just the rumbling of

61
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.560
a truck driving past the seismic monitoring station on Manus Island.

62
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.560
The researchers found that the signal's characteristics perfectly matched those

63
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.560
of a vehicle moving along a nearby road and bore

64
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.400
none of the telltale signs they would expect from a

65
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.639
meteor impact. Even More significantly, their analysis suggests the actual

66
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.159
medior entered the atmosphere more than one hundred and sixty

67
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.079
kilometers away from where the original team conducted their search.

68
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.480
This revelation raises serious questions about the nature of the

69
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.319
recovered spherals. While they may still be of meteoritic origin,

70
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.879
they're likely either from a conventional meteor or perhaps represent

71
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.680
a hybrid of cosmic and terrestrial materials created when a

72
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:36.079
meteorite impacted Earth's surface. What's clear is that they're probably

73
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.240
not the remnants of an alien spacecraft or interstellar visitor

74
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.519
that some had hoped they might be. This case serves

75
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.959
as a perfect example of how science constantly refines itself

76
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.360
through careful review and new analysis, even if it means

77
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.959
replacing an exciting possibility with a more prosaic explanation. Exciting

78
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.279
news has emerged from the world of exoplanet research, as

79
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.759
scientists have finally conf firm the presence of not just one,

80
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.399
but four small planets orbiting Barnard Star, our cosmic nextdoor

81
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.160
neighbor after the Alpha Centauri system located just six light

82
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.920
years away. This discovery marks the end of a decade's

83
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.360
long quest that has seen numerous false starts and unconfirmed claims.

84
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.399
Using the specialized Maroon X instrument designed specifically for observing

85
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:27.279
M dwarf stars like Barnard Star, researchers conducted detailed observations

86
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.680
from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three. The team

87
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.879
had to carefully separate the planetary signals from the natural

88
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.560
variations caused by the star's own activity cycles and rotation,

89
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.279
but their persistence paid off with the conformation of four

90
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:46.360
distinct worlds. These newly confirmed planets are truly remarkable, with

91
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.879
masses ranging between just nineteen percent and thirty four percent

92
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.959
of Earth's mass. In fact, one of them might be

93
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.600
the smallest planet ever detected using the radial velocity method.

94
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.879
What's particularly fascinating is how tightly packed these worlds are,

95
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.319
all orbiting their star in periods between two point three

96
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.279
four and six point seven four days. The discovery raises

97
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:12.720
some intriguing questions about the system's stability. While computer models

98
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.560
suggest the planets could maintain stable orbits if they're perfectly circular,

99
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.319
the best current measurements indicate that any slight deviations could

100
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.639
make the entire system unstable within just two thousand years.

101
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.800
This presents an exciting puzzle for astronomers to unravel. For

102
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.839
those wondering about the possibility of life, these planets unfortunately

103
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.720
orbit too close to their star to be in the

104
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.199
habitable zone. However, the research team hasn't ruled out the

105
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.240
existence of additional Earth sized planets in more life friendly orbits.

106
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.920
They've just confirmed that if such planets exist, they must

107
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.800
be smaller than about half of Earth's mass. This breakthrough

108
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.839
comes after more than half a century of searching, during

109
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.240
which various teams have claimed to find planets around Barnard's Star,

110
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.839
only to have their discoveries later dis proven. This time,

111
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.920
with multiple independent observations and careful analysis, we can finally

112
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.240
say with confidence that this ancient star, estimated to be

113
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.360
about ten billion years old, is indeed home to a

114
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.240
family of planets. Let's move on to an update from

115
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.839
the Moon. The Athena Moon landing mission, while achieving the

116
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.160
remarkable feat of reaching the lunar surface, encountered an unexpected

117
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.959
challenge shall we say that has impacted its objectives. The spacecraft,

118
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.279
operated by intuitive machines, successfully touched down near the lunar

119
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.160
south pole on March sixth, but ended up in a

120
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:41.399
sideways position that severely limited its capabilities. This orientation proved

121
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.920
particularly problematic for the mission's power generation, as the solar

122
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.120
arrays couldn't properly capture sunlight in their tilted position. As

123
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.600
a result, the mission's active phase lasted only about a

124
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.680
day after touchdown, though it did manage to beam back

125
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.839
valuable images from the lunar surface during this brief window.

126
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.399
Of the most affected components was the Mobile Autonomous Prospecting

127
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.519
Platform or map rover, a compact, four wheeled vehicle that

128
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.000
was poised to make history with its own lunar exploration objectives.

129
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.680
The team behind MAP has confirmed that their rover survived

130
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.720
the landing intact and was fully operational, but the lander's

131
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.600
sideways position made deployment impossible. It just couldn't get out.

132
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.399
Despite these setbacks, the mission wasn't without its silver linings.

133
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.800
The MAP rover successfully collected valuable data during the journey

134
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.519
to the Moon, while in lunar orbit and even after landing.

135
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.759
These measurements have validated numerous systems and components that will

136
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.960
prove invaluable for future missions, including planned expeditions to the

137
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.759
Reiner Gamma region and additional ventures to the lunar South Pole.

138
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.320
This experience has provided crucial insights that will inform upcoming

139
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.360
lunar missions, With Intuitive Machines already planning their third launch

140
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.360
for later this year, the space exploration community continue used

141
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.799
to demonstrate that even when missions don't go exactly as planned,

142
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.080
the knowledge gained helps pave the way for future successes

143
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.279
in our ongoing exploration of Earth's closest celestial neighbor. Seems

144
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.440
everyone's getting into the citizen science projects at the moment.

145
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.639
The European Space Agency has just launched an exciting new

146
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.600
initiative that opens the door for space enthusiasts to directly

147
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:27.960
contribute to solar research. Their Solar Orbiter spacecraft, which has

148
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.919
been observing Our Star since twenty twenty, has amassed an

149
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.679
impressive five years of data that needs expert analysis, and

150
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.919
they're turning to citizen scientists for help. The project, called

151
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.240
the Solar Radio Burst Tracker, focuses on analyzing radio waves

152
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.679
emitted by the Sun. Every day, Our Star releases powerful

153
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.919
bursts of radio waves into space, which are detected by

154
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:55.399
the spacecraft's radio and Plasma Waves instrument. With over fifteen

155
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.759
thousand radio wave graphs to examine, it's a task too

156
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.759
massive for individual sign scientists to tackle alone. What makes

157
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:06.720
this project particularly fascinating is that these radio bursts, known

158
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.480
as type three solar radio bursts, are closely connected to

159
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.960
solar flares, those massive explosions of radiation from the Sun's surface.

160
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.840
When these flares occur, they shoot electrons into space, which

161
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.159
then interact with charged particles around the Sun to produce

162
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.159
distinctive radio wave patterns. The timing of this project couldn't

163
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.120
be better, as twenty twenty five marks a peak in

164
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:33.159
the Sun's eleven year activity cycle. We've already seen evidence

165
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.200
of this increased solar activity through spectacular aurora displays visible

166
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.960
across Europe. By tracking these radio bursts, citizen scientists will

167
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.480
help create the first comprehensive catalog of solar radio bursts

168
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:50.159
observed by solar orbiter. Participants don't need any specialized knowledge

169
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.720
or equipment. The project provides detailed guidance on how to

170
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.279
identify and outline radio bursts in the data. Each graph

171
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.759
will be reviewed by multiple people to insure accuracy, and

172
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.960
the resulting database will help scientists better understand solar behavior

173
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.960
and its potential effects on Earth. This initiative represents a

174
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.440
unique opportunity for the public to contribute to cutting edge

175
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.879
space research, while also helping to train artificial intelligence systems

176
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.240
that will automate this process in the future. It's a

177
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:25.159
perfect example of how modern space exploration is becoming increasingly collaborative,

178
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:30.360
bridging the gap between professional scientists and passionate space enthusiasts.

179
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:32.960
If you'd like to find out more, I'll include a

180
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.399
link in the show notes. Before I go today, a

181
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.799
quick reminder mark your calendars for an extraordinary celestial display

182
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.519
coming up on the night of March thirteenth into the

183
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.840
early hours of March fourteenth, The Moon will undergo a

184
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.039
dramatic transformation as it passes through Earth's shadow in the

185
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.799
first total lunar eclipse we've seen since November twenty twenty two.

186
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.159
During this spectacular event, our lunar companion will take on

187
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.919
an eerie reddish glow, creating what's commonly known as a

188
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:06.200
blood moon. This stunning color change occurs when Earth's atmosphere

189
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.240
filters sunlight, allowing only red and orange wavelengths to reach

190
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.399
the lunar surface, the same effect that gives us vibrant

191
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.320
sunsets here on Earth. The eclipse will unfold in several phases,

192
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.240
starting with a subtle dimming as the Moon enters Earth's

193
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.320
outer shadow or penumbra, at eight fifty seven pm Pacific time.

194
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.240
Things get more dramatic around ten oh nine PM, when

195
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.919
the partial eclipse begins, and it will appear as if

196
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.039
a giant bite is being taken out of the Moon.

197
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.559
The main event totality kicks off at eleven twenty six

198
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.840
pm Pacific time, when the entire Moon will be immersed

199
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.879
in Earth's shadow. And take on its characteristic red coloring.

200
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.799
What makes this event particularly special is that you don't

201
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.600
need any fancy equipment to enjoy it. While binoculars or

202
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.879
a telescope will enhance the view, the eclipse is perfectly

203
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.799
visible to the naked eye. The show will be visible

204
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.559
across the western hemisphere, offering excellent viewing operation tunities for

205
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.799
many observers. As an added bonus, skywatchers can also spot

206
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.759
Jupiter and Mars in the western sky during the eclipse.

207
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.919
The darkened moon will actually make it easier to spot

208
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.080
stars and constellations, with our celestial companion positioned in the

209
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:19.279
constellation Leo at the start of the eclipse before crossing

210
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.639
into Virgo. The total phase of the eclipse will last

211
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.240
for about an hour, ending at twelve thirty one am

212
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:28.679
Pacific time on March fourteenth. The Moon will then gradually

213
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.320
emerge from Earth's shadow, with the entire event concluding around

214
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.279
three am Pacific time, weather permitting. This promises to be

215
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.919
one of the most impressive astronomical events of twenty twenty five.

216
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.159
