00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.830
it a remarkable spacewalk took place


00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.710
yesterday aboard the International Space


00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:18.190
Station where NASA astronauts Sunni


00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.350
Williams and Butch Wilmore ventured


00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:21.910
outside for a critical maintenance


00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.910
Mission lasting over 5 hours during The


00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.069
Space Walk Williams achieved something


00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.069
truly extraordinary she surpassed former


00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:31.749
astronaut Peggy whitson's record for


00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:34.069
Total Space walking time bringing her


00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.990
cumulative time in the vacuum of space


00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.870
to an impressive 62 hours and 6 minutes


00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:41.550
the primary objective of their mission


00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.350
was to remove faulty radio


00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.870
communications Hardware specifically an


00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:47.910
s-band antenna system that had


00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.789
previously resisted removal attempts


00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.350
during two earlier space walks using a


00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:54.510
specially designed wrench tool Williams


00:01:54.520 --> 00:01:56.469
and Wilmore successfully extracted the


00:01:56.479 --> 00:01:58.350
problematic equipment which will be


00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:00.510
returned to Earth for refurbishment


00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:03.149
but the mission didn't stop there after


00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.230
completing the hardware removal Wilmore


00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:07.429
conducted an fascinating experiment


00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:08.869
collecting samples from various


00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.390
locations on the station's exterior this


00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.190
experiment aims to determine whether the


00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:16.430
ISS releases microorganisms into space a


00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:18.869
crucial investigation for future space


00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.630
exploration while we thoroughly


00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:22.790
sterilize all spacecraft and space suits


00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.350
before launch humans carry their own


00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.190
microorganisms which are constantly


00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:30.070
regenerating understanding which mro


00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.630
organisms can survive in the harsh


00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:33.910
environment of space has significant


00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:35.830
implications for our upcoming Artemis


00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.350
missions to the moon and eventual human


00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.110
missions to Mars scientists are


00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.630
particularly interested in learning


00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:44.229
whether any of these microscopic


00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:46.750
stowaways could become what we call


00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:49.030
extremophiles organisms capable of


00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:50.949
surviving in the most challenging


00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:53.149
conditions similar to those found in


00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.270
deep sea hydrothermal vents here on


00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.990
Earth this spacewalk marks Williams's


00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.309
ninth venture outside the station and


00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.910

the mission as they methodically worked


00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:16.470
through their tasks while floating 250


00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:19.470
Mi above our planet they're just getting


00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:22.270
on with the job while controversy over


00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.750
their return seems to be swirling around


00:03:24.760 --> 00:03:26.430
them down here on


00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:29.030
Earth and an update concerning the two


00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:31.509
of them in a significant update from


00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:34.149
NASA's Aerospace safety advisory panel


00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.470
Boeing and NASA are making substantial


00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:38.750
progress in their investigation of the


00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:41.070
issues that arose during last year's


00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.710
Starliner test flight the mission which


00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:45.750
carried astronauts Butch Wilmore and


00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:47.509
Sunni Williams to the International


00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:49.710
Space Station encountered several


00:03:49.720 --> 00:03:51.470
challenges that ultimately led to the


00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:53.270
spacecraft returning to Earth without


00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.750
its crew the investigation teams have


00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:57.390
begun closing out various flight


00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.390
observations and addressing inflight


00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:00.789
anomaly


00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:02.630
however one critical issue remains under


00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:04.630
intense scrutiny the spacecraft's


00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:07.149
propulsion system multiple thrusters


00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:08.630
unexpectedly shut down during the


00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:10.670
approach to the station and the system


00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.550
experience concerning helium leaks these


00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.229
propulsion system anomalies are still


00:04:15.239 --> 00:04:16.830
being actively investigated through


00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:19.390
ongoing test campaigns teams are


00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:21.189
currently working on three fronts


00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:22.550
determining the root cause of the


00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.510
Thruster problems developing


00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:26.270
recommendations for modifications to


00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:28.550
Future missions and examining both


00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.629
Technical and organization factors that


00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.270
may have contributed to these issues the


00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:35.270
safety panel has expressed confidence


00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:37.270
that NASA and Boeing are focusing their


00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:39.469
attention on the right core issues and


00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:41.150
following an appropriate path toward


00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.230
safely flying Starliner again looking


00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.909
ahead to Future flights NASA is keeping


00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:49.029
all options on the table for achieving


00:04:49.039 --> 00:04:50.029
system


00:04:50.039 --> 00:04:52.029
certification while specific timing


00:04:52.039 --> 00:04:53.950
hasn't been announced the agency is


00:04:53.960 --> 00:04:55.790
exploring potential flight opportunities


00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:57.390
for Starliner in


00:04:57.400 --> 00:04:59.870
2025 this careful approach reflects


00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:01.950
NASA's commitment to ensuring all safety


00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:03.629
concerns are fully addressed before the


00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.550
next mission the financial impact of


00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.990
these delays continues to affect Boeing


00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.070
with the company anticipating another


00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:13.189
significant charge against earnings in


00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.870
the fourth quarter of


00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:17.790
2024 meanwhile leadership changes are


00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:19.990
occurring within the program including


00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.590
the planned retirement of Mark nappy who


00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.670
served as starliners program manager


00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.990
during the test flight this thorough


00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.110
investigation demonstrates the Space


00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.150
Industries unwavering commitment to


00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.309
safety and the methodical approach


00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.230
required When developing human space


00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.990
flight systems while progress may seem


00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.189
slow to outside observers this


00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.390
meticulous attention to detail is


00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:44.029
essential for ensuring the safety of


00:05:44.039 --> 00:05:45.749
future astronaut


00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.150
Crews it seems we find out something new


00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.350
about black holes almost every day and


00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.990
today is no exception in an exciting


00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.070
astronomical breakthrough scientists


00:05:55.080 --> 00:05:56.909
have discovered hundreds of previously


00:05:56.919 --> 00:05:59.309
hidden super massive black holes lurking


00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.790
in the depths of our universe these


00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.070
Cosmic Giants each containing at least


00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:06.749
100,000 times the mass of our sun were


00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.909
found by using Innovative infrared


00:06:08.919 --> 00:06:11.230
detection methods to peer through dense


00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.950
clouds of cosmic dust and gas that had


00:06:13.960 --> 00:06:16.670
kept them hidden from view what makes


00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.390
this discovery particularly fascinating


00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:19.870
is that it suggests we've been


00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:21.909
significantly underestimating the number


00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:23.870
of super massive black holes in our


00:06:23.880 --> 00:06:26.029
universe while previous estimates


00:06:26.039 --> 00:06:28.230
suggested that about 15% of these


00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.749
massive objects were hidden from view


00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.589
new Research indicates that number could


00:06:32.599 --> 00:06:37.110
be closer to 35% or possibly even 50%


00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.790
this means there could be billions or


00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.550
perhaps even trillions of these Cosmic


00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.870
behemoths scattered throughout the


00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:46.510
Universe to make these discoveries


00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:48.909
astronomers combined data from NASA's


00:06:48.919 --> 00:06:51.110
infrared astronomical satellite and the


00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.309
nuclear spectroscopic telescope array


00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.950
even though the infrared satellite


00:06:55.960 --> 00:06:59.309
operated for just 10 months back in 1983


00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.749
IT data proved invaluable when combined


00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.070
with modern observations allowing


00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:05.950
researchers to detect the infrared


00:07:05.960 --> 00:07:07.710
signatures of these hidden


00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.110
Giants these findings aren't just about


00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.950
adding numbers to our Cosmic census


00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:14.950
they're reshaping our understanding of


00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:17.909
how galaxies form and evolve super


00:07:17.919 --> 00:07:19.830
massive black holes appear to play a


00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:21.869
crucial role in controlling Galaxy


00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.469
formation acting like Cosmic Architects


00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:25.950
that help determine the size and


00:07:25.960 --> 00:07:28.670
structure of their host galaxies in fact


00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.189
our own Milky Way would look quite


00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.430
different without its Central black hole


00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:34.189
we'd likely see many more stars in our


00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.790
night sky if it weren't for its


00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.790
influence the discovery also


00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.550
demonstrates how far our detection


00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.990
capabilities have come by using multiple


00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.469
wavelengths of light and combining


00:07:43.479 --> 00:07:45.710
historical data with new observations


00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.469
astronomers are increasingly able to


00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:49.189
pierce through the cosmic veils that


00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.189
have hidden these massive objects from


00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.909
view this multi-wavelength approach is


00:07:53.919 --> 00:07:56.430
opening new windows into the universe


00:07:56.440 --> 00:07:58.350
allowing us to see what was previously


00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.749
invisible and helping us better


00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:02.589
understand the cosmic forces that shape


00:08:02.599 --> 00:08:03.749
our


00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.950
universe time now for a Mars update in


00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:08.790
groundbreaking new research from Harvard


00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:10.390
School of Engineering and applied


00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:12.629
sciences scientists have uncovered


00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.790
fascinating details about Mars's ancient


00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.469
climate patterns the red planet which we


00:08:17.479 --> 00:08:19.189
know was once much wetter and more


00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.230
earthlike apparently experienced


00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.110
dramatic swings between hot and cold


00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.589
periods during its early history these


00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:27.149
temperature fluctuations occurred


00:08:27.159 --> 00:08:30.070
between 4 and 3 billion years ago with


00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:32.589
each cycle lasting at least 100,000


00:08:32.599 --> 00:08:35.070
years within a broader 40 milliony year


00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.589
period what's particularly intriguing is


00:08:37.599 --> 00:08:39.909
how Mars managed to maintain its warmth


00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.149
despite being further from the Sun which


00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.550
was also fainter in those early days the


00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:46.470
key to this climate puzzle appears to be


00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.190
hydrogen in the Martian atmosphere when


00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.590
hydrogen combined with carbon atoms it


00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.509
created carbon dioxide that trapped heat


00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.750
through the greenhouse effect similar to


00:08:55.760 --> 00:08:58.150
what we experience on Earth today but


00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:00.110
here's the fascinating part


00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.710
the process that kept Mars warm had an


00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.910
ironic twist as the planet lost water


00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:08.190
from its atmosphere to the ground it


00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:09.910
actually replenished the atmospheric


00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:12.990
hydrogen helping to sustain these warm


00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.150
periods the chemical changes during


00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:17.350
these periods were equally complex


00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.150
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would


00:09:19.160 --> 00:09:21.190
react with sunlight to produce carbon


00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.750
monoxide during warm spells this carbon


00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:25.430
monoxide would convert back to carbon


00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.790
dioxide in a continuous cycle however if


00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:31.190
marate cold for too long this recycling


00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.470
process would stall leading to a buildup


00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.269
of carbon monoxide and oxygen while


00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:37.829
these findings help explain how Mars


00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:40.069
maintain liquid water on its surface


00:09:40.079 --> 00:09:41.910
they also rais interesting questions


00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:44.230
about the possibility of ancient Martian


00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.710
life the temperature swings and changing


00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.630
oxygen levels might have created


00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:50.829
challenging conditions for any potential


00:09:50.839 --> 00:09:53.430
life forms when temperatures dropped and


00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.829
oxygen levels Rose any existing


00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:57.829
organisms would have faced significant


00:09:57.839 --> 00:09:59.910
survival challenges


00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:02.069
looking ahead scientists plan to test


00:10:02.079 --> 00:10:03.870
these theories by examining actual


00:10:03.880 --> 00:10:06.470
Martian rocks and soil that NASA hopes


00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.590
to bring back to Earth through the Mars


00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.630
sample return Mission this could help us


00:10:11.640 --> 00:10:13.630
finally unlock the secrets of Mars's


00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:15.829
Lost World and better understand the


00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:18.150
complex history of our neighboring
