world next an exciting update from the


00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.150
jwst the James web Space Telescope has


00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.029
made an extraordinary discovery that's


00:06:00.039 --> 00:06:01.550
challenging our understanding of the


00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.670
early Universe astronomers have


00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.590
identified several super massive black


00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.589
holes that appear to be far too massive


00:06:07.599 --> 00:06:10.029
compared to their host galaxies breaking


00:06:10.039 --> 00:06:12.029
the rules we thought we understood about


00:06:12.039 --> 00:06:14.629
Galactic evolution in our nearby


00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.870
Universe super massive black holes


00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:20.350
typically have masses equal to about


00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.830
0.01% of their host Galaxy's Stellar


00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:26.150
Mass however these newly discovered


00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.909
black holes from the early Universe tell


00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:29.870
a dramatically different story


00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:31.710
statistical calculations show they


00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.230
possess masses equal to roughly 10% of


00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.189
their host Galaxy's Stellar Mass making


00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.430
them approximately 1,000 times more


00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:43.070
massive than expected these findings


00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:44.390
were made possible through web's


00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:45.990
observations of what astronomers are


00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.150
calling Little Red Dot


00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.790
galaxies these peculiar objects existed


00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.870
just 1.5 billion years after the big


00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:55.909
bang when the universe was merely 11% of


00:06:55.919 --> 00:06:58.189
its current age their reddish appearance


00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.350
comes from the gas and dust surrounding


00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.629
actively feeding black holes creating


00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.510
what we call Active Galactic nuclei the


00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:06.670
discovery could help solve one of


00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.350
astronomy's most perplexing Mysteries


00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.550
how super massive black holes manage to


00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.550
grow to such enormous sizes so quickly


00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.309
in the universe's youth traditional


00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.990
theories suggest that black holes should


00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.390
take more than a billion years to reach


00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:21.869
such massive proportions through


00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.909
standard growth processes like mergers


00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:26.589
and steady accretion of matter one


00:07:26.599 --> 00:07:28.749
possible explanation is that black holes


00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.629
in the early Universe grew much more


00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.589
efficiently than their modern


00:07:32.599 --> 00:07:34.749
counterparts possibly due to the higher


00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.230
density of gas available in the early


00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.629
Cosmos this environment may have allowed


00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.469
them to consume surrounding matter at


00:07:41.479 --> 00:07:43.869
rates far exceeding what we observe


00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.430
today these findings suggest that the


00:07:46.440 --> 00:07:48.510
formation of stars and super massive


00:07:48.520 --> 00:07:51.110
black holes in early galaxies might be


00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.589
more intrinsically linked than


00:07:52.599 --> 00:07:55.390
previously thought while these ancient


00:07:55.400 --> 00:07:57.149
black holes appear to have grown at


00:07:57.159 --> 00:07:59.749
extraordinary rates initially the star


00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.230
formation in their host galaxies


00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.670
eventually caught up leading to the more


00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.790
balanced ratios we observe in nearby


00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.110
galaxies


00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.110
today and while we're talking new


00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.710
research findings new research is


00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.950
shedding fascinating light on two very


00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:16.430
different aspects of our Cosmic


00:08:16.440 --> 00:08:18.670
neighborhood from the universe's first


00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.350
stars to the winds on


00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.589
Mars let's start with an intriguing


00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:24.510
study about the earliest stars ever to


00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:26.710
exist known as population three


00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.990
stars these Cosmic Giants were thought


00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.950
to be some of the most massive stars


00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:33.269
ever formed but scientists have now


00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.670
discovered that their growth wasn't


00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:37.190
Limitless through detailed simulations


00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.430
that incorporate magnetic fields a


00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.070
factor previously overlooked researchers


00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.110
found that these ancient Stars could


00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.790
only grow to about 65 times the mass of


00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:49.670
our sun this is significantly less than


00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:52.430
previous estimates that suggested masses


00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.790
of up to 120 solar masses when magnetic


00:08:55.800 --> 00:08:58.470
fields weren't considered the key


00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.470
finding here is that magnetic fields


00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.310
acted as a natural break on Star growth


00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.310
even before other limiting factors like


00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.910
radiation pressure came into play these


00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:09.630
fields worked Against Gravity


00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:11.150
restricting the amount of gas that could


00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:13.790
fall onto the forming star this new


00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:15.150
understanding helps explain why we don't


00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:17.110
see evidence of even more massive stars


00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.190
in the early


00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.470
Universe meanwhile closer to home NASA's


00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:22.990
Ingenuity helicopter has been


00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.790
revolutionizing our understanding of


00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:27.670
Mars's atmosphere during its remarkable


00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:29.910
72 flights on the red planet


00:09:29.920 --> 00:09:31.710
this small But Mighty aircraft has


00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.110
recorded wind speeds that are


00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.310
considerably higher than what our models


00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.829
predicted previous estimates suggested


00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:40.389
Martian winds wouldn't exceed 15


00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.550
m/s but Ingenuity encountered speeds as


00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:46.590
high as 25 m/ second at various


00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.829
altitudes between 3 and 24 m above the


00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:52.430
surface this discovery was made possible


00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.910
through an ingenious method using the


00:09:54.920 --> 00:09:57.190
helicopter's own tilt during flight to


00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.269
calculate wind speeds just as a drone on


00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.150
earth needs to tilt into the wind to


00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:04.829
maintain its position Ingenuity tilt


00:10:04.839 --> 00:10:06.829
measurements provided crucial data about


00:10:06.839 --> 00:10:08.630
Mars's atmospheric


00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:10.470
conditions these findings are


00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.230
particularly valuable for future Mars


00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.590
missions especially as we plan more


00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.310
aerial Vehicles like the upcoming


00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.829
dragonfly mission to Saturn's moon


00:10:18.839 --> 00:10:20.949
Titan understanding these wind patterns


00:10:20.959 --> 00:10:23.389
is crucial for Designing spacecraft and


00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:24.990
planning missions that can safely


00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.949
navigate alien


00:10:26.959 --> 00:10:29.550
atmospheres finally today look looking


00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:30.430
into the


00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.790
future exciting developments are on the


00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:35.430
horizon as the Vera SE ruin Observatory


00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.430
prepares to begin its operations from


00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.710
its home at top sop Pon in Chile this


00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.590
Cutting Edge facility is about to embark


00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.670
on an ambitious 10-year survey that


00:10:44.680 --> 00:10:46.590
promises to revolutionize our


00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.790
understanding of the cosmos particularly


00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:51.430
when it comes to exploding Stars


00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.069
scientists predict the observatory will


00:10:53.079 --> 00:10:54.710
detect millions of what are playfully


00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.190
nicknamed vampire Stars white dwarfs


00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.030
that steal material from their companion


00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:02.750
Stars until they explode in spectacular


00:11:02.760 --> 00:11:05.670
fashion these explosions known as type A


00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:07.990
supernovas are particularly valuable to


00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.750
astronomers because they always release


00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:11.550
the same amount of light making them


00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:14.430
perfect Cosmic measuring sticks think of


00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.430
these supernovas as Celestial lamp posts


00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.310
if you know how bright they should be


00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.509
you can figure out how far away they are


00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.430
by how dim they appear this makes them


00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.710
crucial tools for understanding how our


00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.350
universe is expanding and the mysterious


00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.509
force behind this expansion Dark Energy


00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.389
The Observatory will scan the entire


00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.670
Southern Sky every few nights giving


00:11:36.680 --> 00:11:38.949
astronomers unprecedented opportunities


00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:41.030
to catch these Stellar explosions in


00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:43.269
action it's expected to generate a


00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.310
staggering amount of data up to 10


00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.190
million alerts embedded in 20 terabytes


00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.750
of information every single night this


00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:51.310
wealth of data could help resolve some


00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.670
pressing questions about dark energy


00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:55.710
which makes up about 68% of our


00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.190
universe's energy budget recent


00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.629
observations have suggested suggested


00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:01.550
that dark energy strength might not be


00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:03.750
constant as previously thought and the


00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:05.750
ruin observatory's observations could


00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:08.350
finally help us understand if and how


00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.310
this mysterious force is changing over


00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.829
time this new era of observation


00:12:13.839 --> 00:12:16.509
represents a fundamental shift in how we


00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.350
study the cosmos the sheer volume of


00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:20.829
data will require new methods of


00:12:20.839 --> 00:12:23.230
analysis setting the stage for the next


00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.670
generation of astronomical discoveries


00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:27.509
and our understanding of the universe's


00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.230
ultimate fate


00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:31.670
and with that we wrap up today's


00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:34.110
fascinating Journey Through the cosmos
