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.

[Music]
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
spacetime still to come the mysteries of

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:13.470

astronomers using the meres and

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
00:13:15.970 --> 00:13:22.960
[Music]
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

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
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:03.230

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

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

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

which is attached to the rear of
00:16:44.959 --> 00:16:46.990
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

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
