infrastructure in our modern
00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:55.309
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
