00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:02.270
welcome to astronomy daily your source


00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:04.749
for the latest space and astronomy news


00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:06.670
I'm Anna and today we're covering some


00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:08.270
fascinating stories from across the


00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:10.589
cosmos from groundbreaking research and


00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.509
alien life detection to massive Cosmic


00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.230
structures so let's get straight into


00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:18.750
it in an exciting development for the


00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:20.870
search for extraterrestrial life


00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:22.870
researchers in Germany have created a


00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:25.310
new and remarkably simple method that


00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.349
could revolutionize how we look for life


00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.070
on other planets the technique focuses


00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:32.630
on detecting movement in microorganisms


00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.229
specifically their attraction to certain


00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:37.430
chemicals a process known as chemotaxis


00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:39.389
the team tested their method on three


00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.950
different types of microbes two bacteria


00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.750
and one ARA using an amino acid called


00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:47.310
Els Serene as bait all three species


00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:48.990
showed clear movement toward the


00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.950
chemical which is particularly


00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.790
significant since these organisms were


00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.270
chosen for their ability to survive in


00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.270
extreme conditions similar to what we


00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.189
might find on Mars what makes this


00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:02.709
Discovery particularly promising is its


00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.350
Simplicity instead of requiring complex


00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:08.109
equipment the method uses a basic slide


00:01:08.119 --> 00:01:10.149
with two Chambers separated by a thin


00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.990
membrane microbes are placed on one side


00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.310
and Els Serene on the other if living


00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:17.030
organisms are present and capable of


00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.870
movement they'll naturally swim through


00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:20.910
the membrane toward the chemical the


00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:22.710
implications for future space missions


00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:25.030
are significant Els Serene is believed


00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.469
to exist on Mars and if Martian life


00:01:27.479 --> 00:01:29.550
shares any biochemical similarities with


00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:31.990
Earth life this method could provide a


00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.590
straightforward way to detect it while


00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:36.429
some modifications would be needed to


00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.149
make the system spaceworthy and


00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.590
automated the fundamental Simplicity of


00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:42.429
the approach makes it an attractive


00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.230
option for future missions this method


00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:46.670
could be particularly valuable for


00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.030
exploring places like Europa Jupiter's


00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:50.870
moon where we suspect there might be


00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:53.469
oceans that could Harbor Life by making


00:01:53.479 --> 00:01:55.990
life detection cheaper and faster future


00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.830
missions could achieve more with fewer


00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.230
resources potentially accelerating our


00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:01.910
search for life beyond


00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.830
Earth let's get a Mars update now a


00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.550
fascinating Discovery has emerged from


00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.630
Mars where scientists have uncovered


00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:11.029
what they're calling a seismic Highway


00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.589
deep within the red planet this finding


00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.630
comes from analyzing data from NASA's


00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:17.630
Insight Lander which has completely


00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:19.550
changed our understanding of how seismic


00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.790
waves travel through Mars by comparing


00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.190
Mars Quake data with impact craters


00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:25.790
identified by the Mars reconnaissance


00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.110
Orbiter researchers found something


00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.990
unexpected when meteoroids strike Mars


00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.150
they create seismic waves that travel


00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:34.589
much deeper into the planet than


00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.710
previously thought rather than being


00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:39.149
dampened by the crust as expected these


00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.190
waves appear to find a more direct route


00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:43.550
through the planet's mantle one


00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.949
particular impact crater measuring 71 ft


00:02:45.959 --> 00:02:48.790
in diameter proved especially revealing


00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.470
the seismic signals from this impact


00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:52.830
were detected at the curus fossy region


00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.509
over a thousand miles away from the


00:02:54.519 --> 00:02:57.350
impact site this remarkable distance far


00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:58.750
exceeded what scientists thought


00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:01.270
possible based on their existing models


00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.030
of Mars's interior structure the


00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:05.710
discovery is forcing scientists to


00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:07.670
reassess their understanding of Mars's


00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.390
composition and internal structure as


00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.470
one researcher put it they used to think


00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:14.509
most seismic energy was confined to


00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:16.990
traveling within the Martian crust


00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.509
instead they found this deeper faster


00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:21.789
pathway through the mantle allowing


00:03:21.799 --> 00:03:23.789
seismic signals to reach much more


00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:26.309
distant regions of the planet this


00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:27.910
breakthrough was made possible through


00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:29.270
the clever use of artificial


00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.910
intelligence


00:03:30.920 --> 00:03:32.710
scientists developed a machine learning


00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:35.110
algorithm that could quickly analyze


00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:36.949
tens of thousands of images from the


00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:39.429
Mars reconnaissance Orbiter identifying


00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.710
impact craters in a matter of days


00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:43.030
rather than the years it would have


00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:45.949
taken to do manually what's particularly


00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:48.350
exciting about this discovery is how it


00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.710
might help us better understand not just


00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:54.069
Mars but other rocky planets as well by


00:03:54.079 --> 00:03:56.110
revealing these unexpected properties of


00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.789
Mars's interior we're gaining valuable


00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:00.830
insights into planet AR Evolution that


00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.429
could apply to Earth the moon and


00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.630
Beyond here's news of a party I wouldn't


00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:07.949
mind going to maybe my invitations in


00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:10.869
the mail but I won't hold my breathe the


00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.190
L observatory in Flagstaff Arizona is


00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:15.550
gearing up for an exciting celebration


00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.870
as it marks the 95th Anniversary of one


00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:19.830

00:04:29.080 --> 00:04:32.110
this very location ation back in 1930


00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.230
this year's Festival theme to boldly go


00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.629
beyond New Horizons carries special


00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.790
significance as it also marks the 10th


00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.950
anniversary of NASA's New Horizons


00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:43.270
Mission which gave us our first detailed


00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:45.629
glimpses of this fascinating dwarf


00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.150
planet the celebration promises an


00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.510

guest is Adam neoy son of Star Trek


00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.070
Legend Leonard neoy who brings an


00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:05.909
intriguing connection between science


00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:07.909
fiction and real world


00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:10.189
astronomy he'll be joining an impressive


00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.390
panel alongside New Horizon's principal


00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:14.629
investigator Alan Stern and renowned


00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.629
comet hunter David Levy at the Orum


00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.189
theater the connection between the nemoy


00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.749
family and the observatory runs deeper


00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.670
than you might expect Leonard nemoy who


00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.070
grew up in Boston's immigrant West End


00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:29.070
had a genuine fascination with astronomy


00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:31.749
and space exploration he owned his own


00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.029
telescope and even visited the LEL


00:05:34.039 --> 00:05:36.189
Observatory bringing home models of


00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.990
satellites from his visits to various


00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.830
space facilities the festival will also


00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:42.550
feature a special presentation where


00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.070
Adam neoy will discuss his book the most


00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:47.390
human exploring his relationship with


00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:49.590
his father followed by a screening of


00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.870
his documentary For the Love of


00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:54.029
Spock it's a fitting tribute that


00:05:54.039 --> 00:05:55.590
Bridges the gap between science


00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.870
Fiction's ability to inspire and the


00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:00.230
real world pursuit of astrona omal


00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.550
discovery that continues at L


00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.270
Observatory to this day in an


00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:05.909
extraordinary Discovery that's pushing


00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:07.909
the boundaries of our understanding


00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:09.629
astronomers have identified one of the


00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.550
largest exoplanets ever found orbiting a


00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.749
relatively small star about 244 light


00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.710
years from Earth named Gaia 4B this


00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.390
Mysterious World was discovered through


00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:24.749
the European space agency's Gaia Mission


00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.589
which detected the planet by observing


00:06:26.599 --> 00:06:28.950
how its massive gravitational pull


00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:30.629
affects its parent Stars movement


00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.270
through space this Celestial giant


00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:36.350
boasts a mass 11.8 times that of Jupiter


00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.670
making it a truly remarkable find


00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.270
especially considering it orbits a


00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:42.790
relatively modest orange dwarf star with


00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.070
just 64% of our Sun's mass while it


00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:47.790
follows an orbit similar in distance to


00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.270
Mars's path around our sun its cooler


00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:53.029
Star means temperatures on Gaia 4B are


00:06:53.039 --> 00:06:55.550
likely quite chil what makes this


00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.589
discovery particularly intriguing is how


00:06:57.599 --> 00:06:58.990
it challenges our traditional


00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.070
classification


00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:02.749
of cosmic objects the line between what


00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:04.909
we call a planet and what we consider a


00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:07.550
failed star or brown dwarf becomes


00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.830
remarkably blurry with Gaia 4B while its

mass Falls below the typical 13 Jupiter


00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.270
Mass threshold used to define Brown


00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:17.670
dwarfs the way it likely formed raises


00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.469
fascinating questions about its true


00:07:19.479 --> 00:07:22.670
nature the Stars chemical composition


00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.110
suggests there might not have been


00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:25.790
enough heavy elements available during


00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.230
the system's formation to build such a


00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:29.670
massive Planet through through


00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.110
traditional planetary formation


00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.749
processes this hints at the possibility


00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.909
that Gia 4B may have formed more like a


00:07:37.919 --> 00:07:40.270
star through the gravitational collapse


00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:42.710
of a gas cloud rather than the way we


00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.749
think most planets come together whether


00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.950
we call it a supersized planet or a


00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:51.149
failed star Gia 4B represents one of the


00:07:51.159 --> 00:07:53.270
most massive worlds ever found around a


00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:56.149
lower mass star making it an invaluable


00:07:56.159 --> 00:07:57.790
Discovery for understanding how these


00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.990
extraordinary systems form


00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.550
evolve as we continue to analyze data


00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.830
from the Gaia Mission we may find more


00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:06.430
of these boundary pushing worlds that


00:08:06.440 --> 00:08:08.149
help us better understand the diverse


00:08:08.159 --> 00:08:10.510
range of objects populating our


00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:12.830
galaxy now try and get your brain around


00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:14.510
this just when we thought we had a


00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:17.110
handle on the scale of cosmic structures


00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.070
astronomers have made a mind-bending


00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:21.029
discovery that's forcing us to think


00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:23.510
even bigger they've Found What appears


00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:25.149
to be the largest structure ever


00:08:25.159 --> 00:08:26.950
observed in our universe and they've


00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:30.350
named it queo after an ancient incin


00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.829
measuring system to give you an idea of


00:08:32.839 --> 00:08:35.110
just how massive this structure is it


00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.029
contains roughly 200 quadrillion times


00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.430
the mass of our sun that's a number so


00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.029
large it's rarely used even in astronomy


00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:44.710
where we regularly deal with Cosmic


00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.030
scale measurements and if that wasn't


00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:49.310
impressive enough kipo stretches across


00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.670
1.3 billion light years of space this


00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:54.150
super structure isn't just breaking


00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:56.670
records it's reshaping our understanding


00:08:56.680 --> 00:09:00.310
of the cosmos kipu and four other newly


00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.670
discovered super structures together


00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:05.030
contain 45% of all Galaxy clusters in


00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:07.350
their region of space 30% of the


00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.269
galaxies and 25% of all matter they're


00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.870
essentially Cosmic metropolises on an


00:09:13.880 --> 00:09:16.790
unimaginable scale these structures are


00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:18.590
so massive that they actually distort


00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.190
our view of the universe their immense


00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:22.790
gravitational influence affects


00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:24.389
everything from our measurements of the


00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.230
cosmic microwave background the


00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.350
Afterglow of the Big Bang to our


00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.710
calculations of how fast the universe is


00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.110
expanding they even act as enormous


00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.630
Cosmic lenses bending light from distant


00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:38.190
objects as it travels toward Earth while


00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.949
our current models of the universe can


00:09:39.959 --> 00:09:42.310
account for structures like kipu these


00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.550
Cosmic Giants won't last forever


00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:46.910
scientists predict that over time these


00:09:46.920 --> 00:09:48.550
super structures will eventually break


00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:51.190
apart into smaller units but for now


00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.190
they stand as remarkable Cosmic


00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.790
monuments offering us unprecedented


00:09:55.800 --> 00:09:57.550
insights into the largest scale


00:09:57.560 --> 00:09:59.710
architecture of our universe and


00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.470
challenging our understanding of how


00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.590
such enormous structures could have


00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.269
formed in the first


00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.710
place in a groundbreaking move that


00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.790
brings space exploration into the modern


00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:12.750
