Mars’ Volcanic Awakening, Supernova 1987A’s Secrets, and Dream Chaser Delays: S28E05

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 05

Volcanic Activity on Mars

New research suggests recent volcanic activity on Mars, with eruptions possibly occurring within the last 50,000 years. This discovery, based on satellite observations, highlights a mysterious dark deposit in Elysium Planitia, indicating explosive volcanism. The findings could mean Mars is still volcanically active, raising possibilities of habitable conditions due to interactions between magma and icy substrates.

Mysteries of Supernova 1987A

Astronomers using the Murchison Wide Field Array have been delving into the enigmatic Supernova 1987A. The supernova, marking the death of a blue supergiant star, offers insights into stellar evolution. The peculiar hourglass shape and the unexpected blue supergiant phase of the progenitor star continue to puzzle scientists.

Dream Chaser Space Plane Launch Delayed

The inaugural flight of the Dream Chaser space plane, Tenacity, is now scheduled for May. The spacecraft will carry supplies to the International Space Station, showcasing its capabilities. Sierra Space plans to use Dream Chaser for future missions, including building an orbiting habitat.

00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:45.350
a new study claims there's evidence for


00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:47.310
recent volcanic activity on the red


00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.790
planet Mars the research shows eruptions


00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:52.790
could have taken place across Mars


00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.510
within the last 50,000 years which in


00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.790
geological terms is present day the new


00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.029
findings reported in the Journal Icarus


00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.069
based on satellite observations showing


00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.390
geologically recent explosive vulcanism


00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.710
in alian plena which would be the


00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:10.830
youngest known volcanic eruption on Mars


00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.469
most volcanism on the red planet


00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:14.670
occurred between 3 and 4 billion years


00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.149
ago with smaller eruptions in isolated


00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.510
locations continuing perhaps as recently


00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:22.350
as 3 million years ago but until now


00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:24.069
there's been no evidence to indicate


00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.590
whether or not Mars could still be


00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:28.190
volcanically active today the studies


00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.910
lead author David Horath from the plan


00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.749
planetary Science Institute says the


00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:33.950
newly discovered feature is a mysterious


00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:36.389
dark deposit covering an area slightly


00:01:36.399 --> 00:01:39.749
larger than Washington DC he says it has


00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:41.789
high thermal inertia includes high


00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.350
calcium pyxy enrich material and is


00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:45.990
distributed symmetrically around a


00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.709
segment of the cerebos fosy Fisher


00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.469
system in alian plena typical of aolan


00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:53.510
or wind driven deposits in the region H


00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:55.270
says the feature looks similar to dark


00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.109
spots on both the moon and Mercury


00:01:57.119 --> 00:01:59.069
suggested to be explosive volcanic


00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:00.429
eruptions


00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.350
he says it may in fact be the youngest


00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:05.429
volcanic deposit yet documented on Mars


00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.190
while there are numerous examples of


00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.309
explosive volcanism on the red planet


00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:11.190
the majority of Martian volcanism


00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:14.190
consists of lava flowing at the surface


00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:16.390
however this elesium penti deposit


00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.550
appears to be different the feature


00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.030
overlays the surrounding lava flows and


00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:22.990
appears to be a relatively fresh deposit


00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.270
of Ash and rock representing a different


00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.350
style and time period of eruption than


00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.270
previously identified pyroclastic


00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.470
features


00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:32.390
the eruption could have spewed Ash as


00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.949
high as 10 kilm into the Martian


00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:38.070
atmosphere Horvat says alisan penia hurt


00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.910
some of the youngest volcanism on Mars


00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:42.229
dating back around 3 million years ago


00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:45.270
so it's not entirely unexpected he says


00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.149
it's possible these sorts of deposits


00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:48.910
were more common once but have mostly


00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:51.470
been eroded or buried the sight of the


00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:54.030
eruption is about 1600 kilm from Nas's


00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:56.190
Mars Insight Lander which was studying


00:02:56.200 --> 00:02:58.149
tectonic activity on Mars following its


00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.270
Landing in 2018


00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.070
in fact before it ended its Mission


00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.229
Insight detected two Mass Quakes which


00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:06.309
were localized to the region of cerebus


00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.509
fosy and recent Works suggested the


00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:10.270
possibility that these could have been


00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.910
due to the movement of magma at depth


00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:15.110
the young age of the deposit absolutely


00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.910
raises the possibility that there could


00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:19.630
still be volcanic activity on Mars today


00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:21.309
and it's intriguing that recent Mars


00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.070
Quakes detected by Insight were all


00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.710
sourced in the same region however


00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:27.589
sustaining magma near the surface of


00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.030
Mars so lated in Martian history with no


00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:32.309
Associated lava flows would be difficult


00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.390
and so deeper magmatic sources would


00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.229
probably have been needed to create this


00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:39.110
eruption Horvath says volcanic deposits


00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.910
such as this would also raise the


00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:42.589
possibility for habitable conditions


00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.429
near the surface of Mars in recent


00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.990
history in fact the interaction between


00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.350
ascending magma and icy substrates in


00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:50.990
this region could have provided


00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.190
favorable conditions for microbial life


00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:55.630
fairly recently and so even raises the


00:03:55.640 --> 00:03:58.229
possibility of existent life in this


00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:02.390
region a f fting concept this is


00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.949

Widefield array radio telescope in


00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.469
Outback Western Australia have been


00:04:35.479 --> 00:04:38.390
peering deep into the heart of supernova


00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:40.990
1987a trying to understand more about


00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.710
the progenitor star that triggered the


00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.550
most powerful explosion in our part of


00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.830
the universe in the last 400 years


00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:49.150
Supernova


00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.830
1987a marked the explosive death of a


00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:54.510
spectr type B3 blue super giant star


00:04:54.520 --> 00:04:58.350
called sandel - 6922 on the outskirts of


00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.390
the tantula nebula some 168,000 light


00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:03.950
years away in the large melanic Cloud a


00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:06.230
dwarf Galaxy orbiting our own galaxy The


00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.029
Milky Way the progenitor Stars estimated


00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:10.749
to have been around 20 times more


00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.189
massive than our sun light from the


00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.230
Supernova event reached the Earth in


00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.029
February 1987 making it the closest


00:05:18.039 --> 00:05:19.990
observed Supernova since the invention


00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.270
of the telescope and Kepler's Supernova


00:05:22.280 --> 00:05:25.390
which was visible from Earth in 164 it


00:05:25.400 --> 00:05:27.430
gave modern astronomers the opportunity


00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:29.749
to study a core collapse type 2 super


00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.710
been over in unprecedented detail


00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.430
gleaning many new insights in the


00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:35.909
Stellar Evolution now based on the mass


00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:38.870
of the progenitor star sn1987a should


00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:40.710
have produced a superdense compact


00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.550
Stellar corpse called a neutron star and


00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.909
the neutrino data suggested a compact


00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:48.830
object did form in the Stars core


00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:50.230
however astronomers weren't able to


00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.110
confirm its existence until 2019 because


00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.150
it lay hidden and sealed in a thick


00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.909
cloud of cosmic dust the Supernova


00:05:57.919 --> 00:05:59.350
explosion that took place at the end of


00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.070
the star's life resulted in huge amounts


00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:03.830
of gas with temperatures of over a


00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:06.990
million de but as the gas began to cool


00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.309
down some of it condensed into dust


00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.629
grains the presence of this thick cloud


00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.110
of dust has long been the main


00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.830
explanation as to why the missing


00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:16.629
neutron star hadn't been observed


00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.790
earlier but many astronomers were


00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.670
skeptical about this and they began to


00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.390
question whether their understanding of


00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:25.230
the Stars life was correct and so this


00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.110
new research is painting a picture of


00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.950
the star's life long before its death


00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:31.670
much it be known about the immediate


00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.670
past to the star simply by studying the


00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.110
cosmic ruins resulting from the star's


00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.589
collapse however the detection of very


00:06:38.599 --> 00:06:41.150
faint low frequency energy by merison


00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.950
has provided new insights previously


00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:46.270
only a final fraction of the dead stars


00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:48.909
multi-million year life about 1% or


00:06:48.919 --> 00:06:51.670
20,000 years had been observable the


00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.550
merch and observations by Joseph


00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.270
callingham from the University of Sydney


00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:56.950
probed the supernova's past life


00:06:56.960 --> 00:06:58.749
millions of years further back than what


00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.469
was previously possible those findings


00:07:01.479 --> 00:07:03.110
reported in the monthly notices of the


00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.150
Royal Astronomical Society focused on


00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.869
material that was ejected into space


00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.710
when the star was in its final blue


00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.629
super giant phase callingham says that


00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.230
just like Excavating and studying


00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.430
ancient ruins that teach archaeologists


00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:17.790
about the life of past civilizations


00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.629
merison's lowf frequency radio


00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.670
observations have provided a window into


00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.869
the star's past life so we've been


00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.309
looking at 1987a at um really low radio


00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.790
frequency so essentially frequencies you


00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.749
tune your FM radio to so like 105


00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.469
megahertz or something like that and in


00:07:34.479 --> 00:07:36.230
particular what we're interested in is


00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.869
the phase of the Stars life before they


00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.909
went supernova and so in particular the


00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:44.110
my study was very sensitive to the star


00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.710
when it's what's called its red super


00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.710
giant phase and that's this phase that


00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.950
our sun will actually kind of go through


00:07:49.960 --> 00:07:51.350
where essentially it's run out of


00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.469
hydrogen in its core and it's moved to


00:07:53.479 --> 00:07:55.189
helium burning in its core and the outer


00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.070
layers expand up and become red and


00:07:57.080 --> 00:07:59.110
fluffy and cooler and how did you do


00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.070
this you used the merch and Widefield


00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:02.790
array that's a different type of radio


00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.950
telescope isn't it yeah so the merch and


00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:06.830
Widefield array is based out in Western


00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:08.950
Australia in the m and finally enough it


00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:10.430
works as I said really low radio


00:08:10.440 --> 00:08:12.149
frequency so essentially sensitive


00:08:12.159 --> 00:08:15.149
between 72 and 230 MHz this is a


00:08:15.159 --> 00:08:16.670
precursor to What's called the square


00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.469
kilometer array so essentially a big


00:08:18.479 --> 00:08:20.430
radio telescope designed to kind of test


00:08:20.440 --> 00:08:21.710
the engineering and the science


00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.430
capabilities of that so as a precursor


00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:26.110
instrument and it looks at a specific


00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:27.710
bandwidth in the electromagnetic


00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.790
spectrum yeah so um as said 72 to 230


00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.870
MHz picking up essentially the


00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:35.110
frequencies that I'm sensitive to in the


00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.029
merch Whitefield array but instead of


00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:38.550
spending all this money to build


00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:39.909
essentially something that's sensitive


00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.509
just to radio we build it really far


00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.269
away from people to get away from


00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.590
interference and so we're sensitive to


00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.310
astronomical objects and just one of


00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.230
them happens to be 1987a and 1987a is an


00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.630
amazing Supernova it was one that spared


00:08:53.640 --> 00:08:55.590
my interest in astronomy it's a bit


00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.829
unusual for most super NOA because of


00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:00.630
the way it's evolved yes so it's the


00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:03.150
closest and brightest Supernova to occur


00:09:03.160 --> 00:09:04.590
since the invention of the telescope


00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.470
which is kind of amazing to think about


00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.310
so you can essentially take the


00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.110
telescope was first pointed to the skies


00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.150
by the G by Galileo in about 1600 so to


00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:15.509
have not to have a supernova go off


00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.790
except 1987a is pretty crazy and it just


00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:20.710
goes to show how important this object


00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.790
is to our understanding of how massive


00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:24.750
stars and their lives what we know about


00:09:24.760 --> 00:09:26.790
the panador is it's kind of odd odder


00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:28.670
than we ever thought or ever predicted


00:09:28.680 --> 00:09:30.550
so the the star that actually did go on


00:09:30.560 --> 00:09:32.190
supernova all our theories kind of


00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:33.710
predicted you'd be like a kind of like


00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.350
if you're about five times more massive


00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.790
than the sun you go through kind of a


00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:38.829
sunlike phase and then you'd enter this


00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:40.670
What's called the red super giant phase


00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:42.550
and then you'd eventually Supernova but


00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:44.590
what we found by looking at archival


00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.389
information of the Galaxy of which 87a


00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.350
exploded in called the large melanic


00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.670
Cloud we realized that the star actually


00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:53.389
went through a blue super giant phase


00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:54.990
before it exploded which is kind of odd


00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:58.829
we never expected that at all so why and


00:09:58.839 --> 00:10:00.990
how is are questions that we've been


00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.910
trying to answer red and blue that's got


00:10:02.920 --> 00:10:04.350
a lot to do with the temperature of the


00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.550
star itself yes so red of the star I


00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:07.949
know it's kind of funny because in


00:10:07.959 --> 00:10:09.870
everyday life um we usually mean red to


00:10:09.880 --> 00:10:11.990
be warm or hot but for a star red is


00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.829
actually as cold as you pretty much get


00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:15.990
red is quite a cool star While Blue


00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:17.670
represents hot and so your listeners


00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:19.230
might remember from high school the


00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.949
bunson burner and in particular they


00:10:20.959 --> 00:10:22.990
might remember the red safety flame but


00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.430
if you wanted to use a buns and bur he


00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.150
always turned it on and the hottest part


00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:27.630
of the flame was always the blue part of


00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:28.910
the flame and this has got to do with


00:10:28.920 --> 00:10:29.829
black body


00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:31.949
but it's not important um exactly what


00:10:31.959 --> 00:10:34.350
it is it's just the Bluer the hotter and


00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.430
redder the cooler um kind of


00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:37.910
counterintuitive what we're kind of


00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:40.430
taught what we use in everyday language


00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.269
we're not quite sure why it went through


00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.389
a blue super giant phase and so it's


00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.870
quite hard to figure out and exactly why


00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:48.790
we saw a blue super giant before it


00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:51.230
collapsed so some thoughts have been


00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.430
maybe it was a binary star system so


00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:54.990
there's two stars that existed in the


00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.870
system and one evolved to a red super


00:10:56.880 --> 00:10:58.430
giant star and it might have been


00:10:58.440 --> 00:10:59.790
something like the sun next to it and


00:10:59.800 --> 00:11:02.069
for some reason they merged they fused


00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:03.870
together and in that process that's


00:11:03.880 --> 00:11:05.870
quite violent and that caused it to heat


00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:07.670
back up and cause go into this blue


00:11:07.680 --> 00:11:09.389
super giant F but it's possible that's


00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.829
maybe not the case at all maybe it went


00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:12.990
through a really weird Mass loss


00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.470
scenario so the star for some particular


00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.509
reason lost heaps and heaps and heaps of


00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.190
mass and so it it spewed out and it


00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.470
became blue super giant again it was all


00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.990
very odd and we never expected that at


00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.910
all and so I can't really tell you the


00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:27.629
final answer the reason why it ended the


00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.870
blue super giant phase but we know did


00:11:29.880 --> 00:11:32.030
and so we have to change our theories to


00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:34.350
understand that because 1987a has such a


00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.750
weird hourglass shape it's not an


00:11:36.760 --> 00:11:38.829
expanded spherical type shape could that


00:11:38.839 --> 00:11:41.750
be telling us something yeah so the the


00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:43.790
morphology of the Supernova Remnant is


00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:45.750
even odd for us right so again we kind


00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:47.750
of thought think most Supernova would be


00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:49.509
roughly sperical right you explode a


00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.350
star it should go out equally in all


00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.269
directions but the Supernova 1987a as as


00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.350
you said we see this hourglass shape so


00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.269
it seems poter at the waist and then it


00:11:58.279 --> 00:11:59.949
kind of expands in these two rings at


00:11:59.959 --> 00:12:03.670
the ends and so people hypothesize maybe


00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:05.670
that's why maybe it had to be a binary


00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:07.870
right for example the binary merged on


00:12:07.880 --> 00:12:09.509
the equator and so that's why you have a


00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.230
tight waist and a lot of the mass loss


00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.230
occurred at the poles but you also can


00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.069
get that shape if you have a really fast


00:12:15.079 --> 00:12:16.870
spinning star a star that's spinning


00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:18.269
really quickly and you get a lot of the


00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.389
ejection from the poles rather than the


00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.990
equator and so or I mean a lot from the


00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.350
equator as well from the poll so it's a


00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.829
very odd shape and just goes to show 87a


00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:29.790
even though it went off years ago is


00:12:29.800 --> 00:12:32.470
still revolutionizing our way we


00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.269
understand about massive stars in their


00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.629
lives and how Supernova occur a spin up


00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.829
caused by an increase in Mass by two


00:12:38.839 --> 00:12:40.750
stars merging sounds feasible doesn't it


00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:42.509
yeah it's a possibility and there's been


00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.389
simulations here and it's one of those


00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.430
questions I don't know if we'll ever


00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.030
know the answer to we can get close and


00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:49.550
there's good suggestions for one or the


00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:51.550
other but I don't know if we'll ever


00:12:51.560 --> 00:12:54.670
know the exact true answer um there what


00:12:54.680 --> 00:12:56.189
exactly caused it to go to a blue super


00:12:56.199 --> 00:12:58.030
giant phase that's Joseph callingham


00:12:58.040 --> 00:12:59.990
from the University of Sy


00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.870
and this is spacetime still to come the


00:13:02.880 --> 00:13:05.069
Dreamchaser space plane launched delayed


00:13:05.079 --> 00:13:07.069
until at least May and later in the


00:13:07.079 --> 00:13:09.590
science report scientists in Russia have


00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.350
discovered the world preserved remains


00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.509
of a baby mammoth all that and more


00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.960
still to come on SpaceTime

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.310
the long awaited inaugural flight of


00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.910
Sierra space's Dreamchaser space plane


00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:37.870
is now expected to take place in May the


00:13:37.880 --> 00:13:39.710
spacecraft tenacity along with its


00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:41.710
shooting star cargo module have been


00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.470
unveiled at the Kennedy Space Center in


00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:45.550
Florida after completing a vigorous


00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:47.710
vibration and thermal vacuum testing


00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:49.750
program at the Neil Armstrong facility


00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:52.430
in Ohio the public viewing followed the


00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.509
completion of successful electromagnetic


00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.550
interference and compatibility testing


00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:59.509
at Kennedy works also now complet on the


00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.509
spacecraft's thermal protection system


00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.230
and final payload


00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.629
integration the maiden flight will send


00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.670
tenacity and its shooting star cargo


00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:09.829
module carrying over 3 and 1/2 tons of


00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:11.790
food supplies and scientific equipment


00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:13.350
to the International Space Station


00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.550
aboard a United launch Alliance Vulcan


00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:17.790
centur rocket from space launch complex


00:14:17.800 --> 00:14:20.470
41 at the Cape Canal space force station


00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.269
in Florida as part of the process to


00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.110
certify the vehicle system for future


00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.790
agency resupply missions NASA and Sierra


00:14:27.800 --> 00:14:29.509
space will put the space plane through


00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.749
its Paces once in orbit as Dreamchaser


00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.870
tenacity approaches the space station


00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:36.910
it'll conduct a series of demonstrations


00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:39.189
to prove attitude control transitional


00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:41.030
Maneuvers and abort


00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:42.910
capabilities after completing the


00:14:42.920 --> 00:14:44.949
maneuverability demonstration Space


00:14:44.959 --> 00:14:47.269
Station's crew will use the canid arm 2


00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.470
robotic arm to Grapple the spacecraft


00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:51.230
and dock it to an earth facing port on


00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.550
the harmony module after remaining


00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:55.030
docked to the orbiting Outpost for


00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:57.670
around 45 days tenacity will be released


00:14:57.680 --> 00:14:59.550
from the space station and return to


00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:01.509
Earth landing conventionally on the

returned experiments and Equipment


00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:10.990
Sierra space says the gentler Runway


00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.990
Landing will allow the return to Earth


00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.389
of more delicate equipment and


00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.670
experiments which could be damaged by a


00:15:16.680 --> 00:15:19.910
rougher high G capture splash down after


00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:22.470
landing Dreamchaser will be powered down


00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.670
and the SI space team will transfer it


00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:26.629
back to the processing facility in order


00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.990
to perform the necessary inspections off


00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:30.870
Lo the remaining NASA cargo and begin


00:15:30.880 --> 00:15:32.870
the process of preparing it for its next


00:15:32.880 --> 00:15:34.949
mission meanwhile the shooting star


00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:36.949
cargo module will remain doct to the


00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:38.790
space station until it's filled with


00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:41.350
trash it'll then be released to return


00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.870
to Earth burning up in the atmosphere


00:15:43.880 --> 00:15:45.910
Sierra space is also moving forward with


00:15:45.920 --> 00:15:47.309
the development of its second Dream


00:15:47.319 --> 00:15:49.509
Chaser space plane this one to be called


00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.230

wise says that each 12 M long dream


00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.389
Chaser wing space plane is designed for


00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.150
around 15 flights over a 10-year


00:16:04.160 --> 00:16:06.150
lifespan that will allow the pair to


00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:08.069
provide up to 30 missions to orbit


00:16:08.079 --> 00:16:10.069
including at least seven contractor to

planning to use Dreamchaser to launch


00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:36.550
and build its own orbiting habitat in


00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:38.230
space before NASA retires the

Dreamchaser can carry up to three tons


00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.269
of cargo internally and also features

00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.150
with its plans to develop a free flying


00:16:56.160 --> 00:16:58.030
cargo satellite based on the shooting

star module house orbital military


00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.069
payloads while the reusable tenacity and


00:17:03.079 --> 00:17:04.789
reverence are both designed to carry


00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.870
cargo only the company's continuing to


00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.510
work on both the man version of


00:17:08.520 --> 00:17:10.789
Dreamchaser and a variant specifically


00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.470
designed for National Security missions


00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:15.510
although NASA are owner using at fago


00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:17.630
transport the wing Dreamchaser lifting


00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.590
body space plane was originally designed


00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:21.829
to transport up to seven people on crew


00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:23.590
transfer missions to the International


00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:26.270
Space Station but last out the spacex's


00:17:26.280 --> 00:17:28.630
dragon and the trouble plague Boeing CST


00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.029
100 Starliner in NASA's commercial crew


00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.950
transport contracts SpaceX began flying


00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:35.750
astronauts on drag into the space


00:17:35.760 --> 00:17:36.870
station in


00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.630
2019 and although Starliner has flown


00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:41.870
one crew to the space station it proved


00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.909
to be unreliable and that crew is still


00:17:43.919 --> 00:17:46.590
up there stuck waiting for a return ride


00:17:46.600 --> 00:17:49.470
on you guessed it a dragon considering


00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:51.190
all the problems NASA are having with


00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:52.990
Starliner one wonders whether they


00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.750
regret not giving the second man


00:17:54.760 --> 00:17:56.909
transport contract to Dreamchaser


00:17:56.919 --> 00:17:59.750
instead the Dreamchaser design itself


00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:02.110
goes back more than 60 years with its


00:18:02.120 --> 00:18:04.230
origins in the United States Air Force


00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.870
1957 X20 dinosaur spacecraft which would


00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:09.710
have been launched on top of a modified


00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.789
Titan 3 rocket NASA continued its


00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.230
development in the 1960s and early 7s


00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.390
with a range of experimental spacecraft


00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.470
including the Northrop M2 the Martin x23


00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.350
Prime the Martin Marietta x24 and the


00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:26.750
Northrop hl10 lifting bodies and during


00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:29.230
the 1990s NASA used the same basic


00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:31.830
design to develop the hl2 experimental


00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:33.870
space plane which eventually evolved


00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.350
into the x38 emergency crew return


00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:37.909
vehicle which would have been an


00:18:37.919 --> 00:18:40.070
emergency escape pod transported to the


00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:41.710
space station in the payload Bay of the


00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.029
Space Shuttle it then would remain dock


00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.710
to the orbiting OST and until needed


00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.750
however that project was cancelled in


00:18:48.760 --> 00:18:51.549
2002 following federal government budget


00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.480
cuts this SpaceTime


00:18:56.490 --> 00:19:04.160
[Music]




00:19:10.679 --> 00:19:12.270
and time now to take another brief look


00:19:12.280 --> 00:19:13.789
at some of the other stories making news


00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.870
in science this week with a science


00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.750
report Canadian scientists have compared


00:19:18.760 --> 00:19:20.310
the prevalence and risk of mental


00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:22.590
disorders substance use disorders and


00:19:22.600 --> 00:19:24.990
suicidal behaviors between trans and


00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.630
gender diverse people and their


00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.390
cisgender counterparts the study


00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.909
reported in the Journal of the American


00:19:30.919 --> 00:19:33.149
Medical Association included nearly


00:19:33.159 --> 00:19:35.909
10,000 people around half of whom were


00:19:35.919 --> 00:19:38.909
identified as trans or gender diverse


00:19:38.919 --> 00:19:40.990
the risk of mental disorders substance


00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.430
use disorders and suicidal behaviors was


00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.470
found to be higher amongst trans and


00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.630
gender diverse people especially when it


00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.909
came to either having a plan for suicide


00:19:49.919 --> 00:19:52.510
or having attempted suicide the author


00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:54.710
suggest the increased risks may be due


00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.630
at least in part to experiencing


00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:58.310
Prejudice and harassment throughout


00:19:58.320 --> 00:20:00.230
lives


00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:02.070
a new study has found that the best way


00:20:02.080 --> 00:20:04.190
to deal with narcissistic people is to


00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:05.830
Simply get them out of your life and


00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:08.310
avoid them as quickly as possible the


00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:10.430
findings are based on more than 20 years


00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.390
of study by researchers at a higher


00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.870
State University however the authors


00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:16.830
admit that advice may often be difficult


00:20:16.840 --> 00:20:18.909
to take because narcissists can be very


00:20:18.919 --> 00:20:20.870
charming and likable especially during


00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.510
the early stages of a relationship


00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:25.549
however there are usually subtle signs


00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:27.430
that you should not ignore such as the


00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:29.070
lack of empathy the need need for


00:20:29.080 --> 00:20:31.190
constant attention and admiration taking


00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.390
advantage of others and expectations for


00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.390
special favors without any reciprocation


00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.470
the authors recognize different types of


00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:40.390
narcissism all of which have core


00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:41.990
characteristics of entitlement


00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.909
self-centeredness and a lack of empathy


00:20:43.919 --> 00:20:46.710
for others the most recognizable type to


00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.190
most people might be agentic grandio


00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.270
narcissism which is characterized by


00:20:51.280 --> 00:20:53.870
high self-esteem extraversion arrogance


00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.310
and dominance the authors also found


00:20:56.320 --> 00:20:58.190
that narcissistic bosses are often


00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:59.990
aggressive Ive and bullying taking


00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.950
credit for their employees hard work and


00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.510
dominating resources that are often


00:21:03.520 --> 00:21:06.149
needed by others to do their


00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:08.630
jobs scientists have placed on display


00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:10.510
the remarkably well-preserved baby


00:21:10.520 --> 00:21:12.669
mammoth found in a remote permafrost


00:21:12.679 --> 00:21:14.350
covered region bordering the Arctic


00:21:14.360 --> 00:21:17.029
Ocean the 50,000 year old female has


00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.110
been named Jana after the river in whose


00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:22.230
Basin it was discovered last year so to


00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.310
say Y is the best preserved Mammoth


00:21:24.320 --> 00:21:26.149
carcass in the world and it's one of


00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:28.710
only seven whole remains ever found


00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.310
she's thought to have been about 12


00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:32.870
months old at the time of her death she


00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.950
weighs around 180 kg and is 120 cm tall


00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.510
200 cm long before this discovery only


00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:42.630
six Mammoth carcasses had ever been


00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:46.190
found five in Russia and one in


00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:48.990
Canada Phoenix Arizona is been named as


00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.390
America's top location for UFO sightings


00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.430
in narrowly edged out New York City


00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:56.430
Nevada to grab the top spot with a


00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.190
whopping 323 sightings over the last


00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:02.310
decade New York City reported 313


00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:04.269
sightings while Nevada home to the


00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:08.110
infamous Area 51 had 309 sightings the


00:22:08.120 --> 00:22:10.269
rankings were compiled by Bettis using


00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.190
data from the National UFO Reporting


00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.630
Center Phoenix was always likely to be


00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.029
the favorite following the famous


00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:18.230
Phoenix light incident back in March


00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.110
1997 when flares dropped by aircraft


00:22:21.120 --> 00:22:23.190
during Air Force training exercises were


00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:25.470
taken to be lights from a giant v-shaped


00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.549
flying alien spacecraft Nevada got the


00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.549
the nod because it's home to the area 51


00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.669
test range in the Nellis Air Force Base


00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:34.750
on Groom Lake which has long been used


00:22:34.760 --> 00:22:37.590
to test classified aircraft amazingly


00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:39.669
beaten out of the top spots was longtime


00:22:39.679 --> 00:22:42.149
former favorite Roswell New Mexico the


00:22:42.159 --> 00:22:44.029
location near where it's claimed an


00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:47.149
alien spacecraft crashed in 1947 and its


00:22:47.159 --> 00:22:49.549
occupants then captured for an alien


00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:51.990
autopsy the peer research center claims


00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.350
around 65% of Americans believe


00:22:54.360 --> 00:22:57.110
intelligent life exists on other planets


00:22:57.120 --> 00:22:59.350
Tim menum from Australian eptic says the


00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:01.549
survey shows it's not just location that


00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:04.230
matters but also timing is important too


00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.269
if you want to see flying sources well


00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.710
want it's Phoenix Arizona and that's not


00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:09.750
necessarily the place that comes


00:23:09.760 --> 00:23:11.630
instantly to mind but Phoenix Arizona


00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:13.350
apparently has what's described as a


00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:16.029
whopping 323 sightings in the last


00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.789
decade which is what one every 10 days


00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:18.950
something like that so you know very


00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.190
impressive place if you want to go and


00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:22.470
see UFOs go to Phoenix Arizona and been


00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:23.870
10 20 days


00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.990
there 51 well Nevada is number three


00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.029
number two is New York number three is


00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.029
Nevada and it moves on from there tends


00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.190
to be places not so much Nevada perhaps


00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.590
but tends to be places with a decent


00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:36.230
population so you get enough people up


00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:37.590
there looking at the sky so you're going


00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:38.950
to get more reports you're not going to


00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:40.310
get a lot of reports from the middle of


00:23:40.320 --> 00:23:42.190
the Sora desert or the Sahara or


00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:43.350
something where there's fewer people


00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:44.710
there so yeah the more people you have


00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:46.350
like New York the more likely you are to


00:23:46.360 --> 00:23:48.789
get sighting so Phoenix C to fame over


00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:50.549
the Phoenix Lights that's right yeah it


00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:52.990
was a v-shaped series of lights that


00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.029
flew over the city the Air Force


00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:56.789
originally denied any knowledge of it


00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.269
they later admitted they were releasing


00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:00.710
a a series of marker lights that's the


00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:02.149
thing Phoenix Lights yeah that was a big


00:24:02.159 --> 00:24:04.029
thing all these sightings over a decade


00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:05.630
impressive they actually say that if


00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.110
you're going to go to Phoenix you have


00:24:07.120 --> 00:24:08.990
to go to a certain type of Year New York


00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.390
Colorado you want to go to I think it's


00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:12.990
middle of the Year between 9:00 p.m. and


00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.710
10 p.m. California and Arizona things


00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:16.950
towards the end of the year don't know


00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:19.549
why that is why UFOs would fly certain


00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.149
times of the year in certain places in


00:24:21.159 --> 00:24:22.470
the year it might be a place where


00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:23.669
people are in the mood to say these


00:24:23.679 --> 00:24:25.269
things and because you build up all this


00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:26.669
excitement that everyone who says


00:24:26.679 --> 00:24:27.950
something strange suddenly thinks it's


00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:29.389
an alien CRA whereas in the middle of


00:24:29.399 --> 00:24:30.590
other somewhere else where they don't


00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:32.110
see I think oh no that's just an


00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:34.750
astronoid astronoid or meteor or flight


00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:37.110
of birds or a balloon or something so I


00:24:37.120 --> 00:24:38.870
would say some people you some areas


00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.149
have a greater Preity to see things not


00:24:41.159 --> 00:24:42.310
because there are more things but


00:24:42.320 --> 00:24:43.710
because they just tend to see them


00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:48.030
