Starship’s Fiery Demise, New Glenn’s Maiden Voyage, and Deep Space Pulsations: S28E09
SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 09
Starship's Fiery End and Blue Origin's New Glenn Debut
SpaceX's Starship experienced a dramatic explosion during its seventh test flight, marking both success and setback. While the super heavy booster was successfully caught by the launch tower's chopstick arms, the Starship upper stage exploded during ascent. Despite the fiery end, the mission demonstrated significant advancements in booster recovery technology.
Blue Origin's New Glenn Maiden Flight
Blue Origin's New Glenn mega rocket has completed its first flight, successfully reaching orbit. However, the mission wasn't flawless, as the first stage booster failed to land on a pre-positioned barge in the Atlantic Ocean. The mission's payload, a prototype for the Blue Ring orbital vehicle, was successfully deployed, marking a significant milestone for Blue Origin.
Mysterious Stellar Pulsations Explained
Astronomers have pinpointed the source of mysterious long-period radio transients, linking them to a binary star system comprising a white dwarf and a red dwarf. This discovery, made using data from the Murchison Wide Field Array and the Meerkat telescope, offers new insights into these enigmatic astrophysical events.

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:49.709
Gary there's been a spectacular ending
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.150
to spacex's 7eventh Starship test flight
00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:54.549
with a Starship upper stage exploding in
00:00:54.559 --> 00:00:57.189
a fiery blast as it was ascending to
00:00:57.199 --> 00:00:59.630
orbit but the mission wasn't without its
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.830
success esses either with a super heavy
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:03.750
booster being successfully caught by the
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:06.030
launch Tower's Chopstick arms during an
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.830
amazing textbook Landing the 124 M tall
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.670
Mega rocket had blasted off from
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.190
spacex's Star base at bokach chica on
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.270
the Texas Gulf of Mexico Coast on a
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:17.830
flight that should have taken it to a
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.870
splash down 66 minutes later in the
00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:22.270
Indian Ocean off the Western Australian

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.990
1 we have
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.429
theic pitching down
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.310
range booster pressure all right we're
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:46.149
more than 30 seconds into flight
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.910
Telemetry showing 33 out of 33 engines
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.550
as it's pitching down range booster chip
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.630
avoic power and Telemetry nominal here a
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.590
good call outs on the ship and booster
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.350
avionics you just heard the rumble
00:01:57.360 --> 00:01:59.950
hitting us about 6 miles away watching
00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:02.590
Starship Arc into just endless blue
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:05.149
skies right now vehicle supersonic more
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:06.950
than a minute into flight the vehicle
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:10.029
suers Sonic Max Q so we just passed
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.309
through Max Q that's the greatest stress
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.350
the vehicle is going to experience on
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.750
the way up hill reminder that all of our
00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:18.630
teams down here on the ground are now
00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:20.750
looking at systems on the tower they
00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:22.830
just did a manual check through that's
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.470
going to inform that manual flight
00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:26.509
director's decision next moment coming
00:02:26.519 --> 00:02:28.630
up though is going to be hot staging
00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:31.390
what a gorgeous ascent six ship engines
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.309
getting ready to ignite that's going to
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.470
happen while we're still attached we are
00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:37.550
hearing good call outs on the tower
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.830
preparedness from the manual checks
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.270
though we've still got automated
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.149
checkouts on the booster and the ship
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:44.910
itself but as of right now our manual
00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:46.830
checks and our manual commanding is
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.270
looking go go for a catch cut off start
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.110
up most engines cut off down to those
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.390
middle three start all right hot stage
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.390
confirmed we've got a booster hopefully
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.910
on our WS way back to us and a ship now
00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:03.949
making its Ascent burn into space the
00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:06.070
booster is now making its way back down
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.149
to earth looks like we have 12 of those
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.270
13 engines ignited we're using the
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.309
engines that actually gimbal go for
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.949
booster return an excellent call out
00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:18.149
there we are go for Boost return power
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.110
and nominal there's a lot of criteria
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.149
that needed to line up to ensure that we
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.110
could have a safe a safe booster catch
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.110
and sounds like we got to go for that we
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.190
just jet aend the hot stage the stage
00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:31.990
floating away from the super heavy
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.670
booster now we've shut down the engines
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.429
for that boost back burn that confirms
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.030
boost back burn is now complete that was
00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:41.190
the first of two Burns required to for
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:42.910
the vehicle to make its way back down to
00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:45.190
Earth 7 minutes after launch the first
00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:47.270
of the test flight goals was achieved
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.630
with a 33 engine super heavy booster
00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:51.830
undertaking a Pinpoint Landing in the
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.670
mechazilla like arms of the launch Tower
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.390
and next coming up will be the landing
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.509
burn that's going to be 13 of those
00:03:58.519 --> 00:04:01.589
Center engines in again that will then
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.630
go down to from 13 down to three engines
00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:06.990
just right before we touch down for that
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.589
booster catch Now reminder our stage one
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.550
objectives are to have a controlled
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.910
Ascent stage separation as well as a
00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:17.390
controlled boost back burn and hot stage
00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:19.229
as well so we're looking good for that
00:04:19.239 --> 00:04:22.030
so far now Starship is still firing its
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.909
engines right now Starship trajectory
00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:26.070
ninal again the booster is currently
00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:29.230
making its way back to the tower today
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.590
so we're looking looking forward to a
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.870
booster catch with the Chopsticks and in
00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:35.629
the meantime those grid fins helping to
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.189
control the vehicle and guide it back to
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.070
its Landing site booster FTS is safed we
00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:43.350
can see the booster coming back in now
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.230
through the plume at least it looks that
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.070
way to us um it's incredible that it
00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:48.950
basically returns it looks like a
00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:52.070
speeding just like silver flare
00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:54.670
attempting to catch the booster at the
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.469
tower this would be the second tower
00:04:57.479 --> 00:04:59.950
catch
00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:01.950
engines booster now hovering as it
00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:04.909
aligns with the tower for catch booster
00:05:04.919 --> 00:05:07.670
coming in ready for that boom down to
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.510
three engines Villa has caught the
00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:13.550
booster once again for the second time a
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.390
successful catch by the launch Tower
00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:18.270
this is the same Tower the Launchpad
00:05:18.280 --> 00:05:21.390
where that booster took off from just 7
00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:24.029
and 1 half minutes ago but just a minute
00:05:24.039 --> 00:05:26.150
later Mission managers suddenly lost
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.550
contact with a 52 met toll Starship
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.790
upper stage all six of starship's raptor
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:33.430
engines had been firing as planned
00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:35.550
during the ascent burn but High over the
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.710
Caribbean just as Starship was getting
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.309
to the end of its climb to orbit
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.350
Telemetry suddenly began dropping out on
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.629
the engines and all contact was lost
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.870
with the spacecraft waiting for an
00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:47.950
update on what our ship status is we
00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:50.309
were approaching uh that ship engine cut
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.309
off time um so just waiting to hear so
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.309
obviously we've got booster back booster
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.670
on the launch Tower in the Chopstick arm
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.749
uh but we are waiting to get an update
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:07.070
now on the ship as we were we expecting
00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:10.070
ship engine cut off about 40 seconds ago
00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:12.629
we saw some of those engines start to go
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.510
out prior to that point and so right now
00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:17.230
we are we are just standing by to try
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.710
and get the latest word on where we are
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.749
with ships so stick with us for just a
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.070
couple of minutes as we wait to hear
00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:28.390
some updates obviously from the last two
00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:30.790
flights that we have done where uh the
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.710
uh flight six we attempted but had to
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.589
divert into the ocean and then on flight
00:06:34.599 --> 00:06:36.589
5 we did have the first ever successful
00:06:36.599 --> 00:06:38.430
catch of the booster we used the
00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:41.189
learnings of those two flights to hone
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.790
in that catch commit criteria and we saw
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.350
success today which is pretty awesome
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.790
yeah and just a quick status check so
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.950
we're we currently do not have comms uh
00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:56.070
with the ship so trying to figure out
00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:57.909
exactly when that happened and exactly
00:06:57.919 --> 00:06:59.670
what happened so obviously the
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.150
controllers right now going through
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.710
their data looking to make sure it's not
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.830
anything instrumentation on the ship but
00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:09.629
actually try and get us a status so if
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.150
you are just tuning in we caught a
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.589
booster uh but we are still waiting to
00:07:14.599 --> 00:07:16.670
find out a little bit more uh on the
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.670
ship so it had successfully separated we
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.510
did that hot staging maneuver we did see
00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:23.830
all six of ship's engines on the way
00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:25.749
uphill during its asent but as we were
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:27.670
getting to the end of that Ascent burn
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.670
we saw engines dropping out on lemetry
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.029
and we have since lost contact with the
00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:35.869
ship moments later burning debris was
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.510
seen streaking across the skies flight 7
00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:42.230
used a new updated version of Starship
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.589
about 2 m longer and fitted with a range
00:07:44.599 --> 00:07:46.270
of upgrades and new
00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:48.189
modifications these included newly
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:49.909
designed forward flaps which were
00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:51.830
reduced in size and moved further
00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:53.830
forward towards the vehicle's nose and
00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:56.430
away from the heat shield now this spth
00:07:56.440 --> 00:07:58.550
significantly reduces their exposure to
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.589
re-entry Heating and simplifies the
00:08:00.599 --> 00:08:02.510
underlying mechanisms and protective
00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:05.070
tiling but more importantly there are
00:08:05.080 --> 00:08:07.110
also redesigns for the propulsion system
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.749
of this new upper stage including a 25%
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.629
increase in the propellant volume the
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.830
vacuum jacketing of feed lines a new
00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:16.230
fuel feed line system and an improved
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.350
propulsion avionics module controlling
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.230
Valves and reading sensors now all this
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:22.629
should have improved the vehicle's
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.469
performance and its ability to fly
00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:27.589
longer missions about 17 and 1/2 minutes
00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:29.790
after liftoff the upper stage was to
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.589
deploy 10 dummy satellites similar in
00:08:32.599 --> 00:08:34.750
size and Mass to spacex's starlink
00:08:34.760 --> 00:08:37.509
broadband internet satellites however
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.709
the mission ever got that far as debris
00:08:39.719 --> 00:08:43.029
came raining down over the Caribbean Sea
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.509
SpaceX boss Elon Musk says preliminary
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.829
indications suggest an oxygen fuel leak
00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:49.470
in the cavity above the spaceship's
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.870
engine firewall and that was large
00:08:51.880 --> 00:08:54.230
enough to build up pressure in excess of
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.990
vent capacity musk says apart from the
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.150
obvious double-checking felixs SpaceX
00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:01.269
will now add fire suppression to that
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.389
cavity and probably increase the vent
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.030
area he points out that the ship's new
00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:08.230
forward flaps higher thrust engines and
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.110
tile adherence on Ascent were all tested
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.030
in fact improved heat shield performance
00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:14.670
was the only major thing that wasn't
00:09:14.680 --> 00:09:16.829
tested along with the Pet's payload
00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:19.110
dispenser and these will probably be
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.710
resolved in next month's launch he says
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:23.670
nothing so far suggests pushing the next
00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:26.150
launch past next month and it doesn't
00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:28.269
change the likely date at which Mars
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.550
will become self-sufficient a clear hint
00:09:30.560 --> 00:09:33.030
at the long-term aim of the Starship
00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:34.590
program which is to act as an
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:36.350
interplanetary transport and
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:40.110
colonization vessel the 250 ton reusable
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.030
Mega rocket is the largest and most
00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:44.670
powerful spacecraft ever built it's
00:09:44.680 --> 00:09:47.190
capable of lifting 150 tons of people
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.509
and cargo into orbit and 100 tons on
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.509
missions to the Moon Mars and other
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.630
planets across the solar system
00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:55.750
starship's first mission for NASA will
00:09:55.760 --> 00:09:57.990
be to dock with the oran capsu in trans
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.509
lunar orbit and carry the emus 3 mission
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.150
astronauts down to the lunar surface in
00:10:03.160 --> 00:10:05.790
2026 it'll then provide regular shuttle
00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:07.870
services for NASA between the new
00:10:07.880 --> 00:10:09.990
Gateway space station which is yet to be
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.750
placed in orbit and the lunar surface
00:10:12.760 --> 00:10:14.670
SpaceX plans on eventually using
00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:16.470
Starship to replace the company's
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.430
existing Dragon spacecraft and its
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.269
Falcon 9 and Falcon heavy launch systems
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.630
both man and Freight only versions of
00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:25.230
Starship are planned as well as
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.430
refueling tanker versions and SpaceX is
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.350
also looking at us using Starship to
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.470
provide point-to-point transport for
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.509
passengers between major cities on Earth
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.350
remember once you're in orbit any two
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.509
places on the planet are only ever 90
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.509
minutes apart this is spacetime still to
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.670
come the maiden flight of blue origin's
00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:48.069
new Glenn Mega rocket and uncovering the
00:10:48.079 --> 00:10:50.190
source of mysterious Stella pulsations
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.470
from deep space all that and more still
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.810
to come on SpaceTime
00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:07.510
[Music]
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.509
well we've seen seven test flights some
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:14.710
more successful than others of spacex's
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.829
Starship super heavy and we've seen a
00:11:16.839 --> 00:11:19.710
successful first flight for NASA's SLS
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.590
space launch system which will take the
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.990
Aran capsule in emus spacecraft on
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.230
missions to the moon and eventually Mars
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.750
and Beyond and now the third of
00:11:28.760 --> 00:11:31.310
America's Trio of new Mega Rockets blue

booster Landing site and a buildup of
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.910
ice on a purge line were blamed for the
00:11:48.920 --> 00:11:51.350
delays the flight successfully placed
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.430

bo days stage two RCS priming and we
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.310
have Mo we have stage set and we have
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.189
ignition on both b3u chamber pressure is
00:12:49.199 --> 00:12:51.470

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.310
jettison our booster is going to try to
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.710
make a landing they're going to land on
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:08.750
the Jackin The Landing ship that is
00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:10.750
awaiting this beautiful booster to make
00:13:10.760 --> 00:13:13.150
a landing trajectory looks good on both
00:13:13.160 --> 00:13:15.030
stages stage one our booster we are
00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:17.030
looking to land it on our Landing ship
00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:19.670
Jacqueline stage two carrying the
00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:22.629
Pathfinder for blue ring will continue
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:25.910
its Mission up towards Mo orbit where we
00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:28.629
will be collecting data for 6 hours
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.269

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.790
than 1 minute now remaining to EXO
00:13:33.800 --> 00:13:35.870
atmospheric engine ignition so coming up
00:13:35.880 --> 00:13:37.350
here we're going to see the middle of
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.509
the 37
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.389
be4 chamber pressures on both be3 going
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:45.509
to slow the vehicle down and then as the
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.590
vehicle gets closer to the landing ship
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.150
the jacin the two outer of the three
00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:52.629
middle engines will shut off and just
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.629
one in the center will remain to help
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.189
slow as well as guide the vehicle back
00:13:57.199 --> 00:13:59.350
to The Landing ship we have the steering
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.670
fins at the top of the booster as well
00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:03.829
as the strakes which act essentially as
00:14:03.839 --> 00:14:06.269
Wings this vehicle is flying back to the
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.110
jacine providing lift to come in for a
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.110
nice soft and vertical Landing onto the
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:14.670
landing ship the Jacqueline all three
00:14:14.680 --> 00:14:17.790
engines relight confirmed 8 minutes 20
00:14:17.800 --> 00:14:19.590
seconds into flight justs two tank
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.910
pressures staying within their
00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:22.790
acceptable limits body rate responses
00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:24.430
look good good chamber pressures look
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.310
good throughout the burn continue to see
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.550
data from both stages our second stage
00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:31.430
GS to continues 10 minutes 20 seconds in
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.030
Ascent as well as as its climb towards
00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:36.829
Mo which is where it is headed this
00:14:36.839 --> 00:14:42.189
evening GS2 is now 1,700 km down range
00:14:42.199 --> 00:14:45.509
traveling at 6.7 km/ second we have I AP
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.910
vanish GS2 is now orbital and we have
00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:49.710
engine cut off however the attempt to
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:51.350
land the first stage booster on a
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.870
pre-positioned barge 1,000 km down range
00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:56.310
in the North Atlantic Ocean failed we
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.870
obviously have some frozen data here on
00:14:58.880 --> 00:15:01.150
our our stage one on our booster we're
00:15:01.160 --> 00:15:03.030
still waiting to understand what the
00:15:03.040 --> 00:15:04.790
situation is with the booster we're
00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:06.430
trying to get all of the data here we
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.990
seem to have lost Telemetry on the first
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.110
stage we very well may have lost the
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.430
booster and now I actually I do have
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.749
confirmation that we did in fact lose
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.509
the booster as you did hear we did have
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.670
the booster relight the three middle
00:15:20.680 --> 00:15:22.389
engines which was what we were looking
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.670
for so things we know were good up into
00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:26.509
that point the first stage Telemetry
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.069
showed the booster was traveling at an
00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:30.910
approximate speed of back 5.5 and at an
00:15:30.920 --> 00:15:34.189
altitude of 25.7 KM before it suddenly
00:15:34.199 --> 00:15:36.990
disappeared deemed lost but the missions
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.710
payload which made it successfully to
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.949

mounted on top new Glenn is a massive

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.430
contracted new shepher to carry two Mars
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:30.949
probes to the red planet and it will
00:16:30.959 --> 00:16:32.590
also support the deployment of the new

Kyer Internet satellite constellation
00:16:34.839 --> 00:16:36.710
which will ultimately compete against
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.389
starlink this is spacetime still to come
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.069
uncovering the source of mysterious
00:16:42.079 --> 00:16:44.590
Stell pulsations from deep space and
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.069
later in the science report a new study
00:16:47.079 --> 00:16:49.350
shows that New Zealand's ancient bird
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.269
the mower had what today would be
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.430
considered very expensive tastes
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.470
apparently they liked eating truffles
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.670
all that and more still to come on
00:16:57.680 --> 00:17:03.350
SpaceTime
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:11.040
[Music]
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.350
astronomers have discovered the source
00:17:15.360 --> 00:17:17.470
of mysterious extreme astrophysical
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.789
event known as a long period radio
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.390
transient a strange regular pulse of
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.549
energy being emitted from somewhere in
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.150
deep space the findings are reported in
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.190
the astrophysical journal letters point
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.190
to a system made up of a highly compact
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.190
Stellar corpse known as a white dwarf
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.909
the super hot core of a once sunlight
00:17:34.919 --> 00:17:37.470
star and a low mass spectral type M Red
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:39.830
Dwarf star the most common type of star
00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:42.390
in the galaxy researchers made the
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.190
discovery after first detecting a pulse
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.549
of bright energy coming from deep space
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:48.630
among archival low frequency data from
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.549
the merchison Widefield array radio
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.230
telescope in Outback Western Australia
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.190
the array is one of the precursors for
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.350
the square kilometer array project which
00:17:57.360 --> 00:17:59.029
is currently under construction and and
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.669
when completed will be the world's
00:18:00.679 --> 00:18:03.590
largest radio telescope so big it's
00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:05.669
being built across two continents the
00:18:05.679 --> 00:18:08.029
arback of Western Australia and southern
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.909
Africa the strange energy pulse of radio
00:18:10.919 --> 00:18:12.669
waves known as long period radio
00:18:12.679 --> 00:18:15.029
transients were observed occurring every
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.950
3 hours and Lasting around 30 to 60
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.230
seconds each time and that makes these
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.470
the longest period radio transients ever
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.070
detected long period radio transients
00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:27.549
are relatively new to science their
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:29.549
source and how they gener ated has been
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.710
a long-standing ongoing mystery but now
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.470
with this new discovery scientists
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.590
believe that they may have both
00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:37.270
identified the probable source of the
00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:39.590
energy burst and also shed light on how
00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:42.070
they're being generated see the problem
00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:43.789
is all previously discovered radio
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:45.870
transients were located deep within the
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.350
Milky Way galaxy and surrounded by lots
00:18:48.360 --> 00:18:51.630
of stars and gas and dust and all that
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.710
made it challenging to try and determine
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.390
exactly what could have been generating
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.789
these radio waves one of the studies's
00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:59.710
authors associate Professor Natasha
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.750
hurly Walker from the curtain University
00:19:01.760 --> 00:19:03.350
node of the International Center for
00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:05.430
radio astronomy research says long
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.029
period radio transients are extremely
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.230
exciting but for astronomist to
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.950
understand what they are they need an
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.830
optical image and the problem was when
00:19:14.840 --> 00:19:16.190
you look towards the source of the
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.070
signal there are simply too many stars
00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:20.669
in the way but in a stroke of Good
00:19:20.679 --> 00:19:22.990
Fortune the newly discovered transient
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.710
named gleen XJ
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.950
074379346 the much more sparely
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:31.710
populated region of space in the
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.110
constellation papus around 5,000 light
00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:36.310
years away because the new discovery
00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:38.029
lies far off the galactic plane there
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.669
are only a handful of stars nearby and
00:19:40.679 --> 00:19:42.110
Hurley Walker and colleagues were able
00:19:42.120 --> 00:19:43.909
to narrow down the source generating the
00:19:43.919 --> 00:19:47.510
radio waves to one specific star system
00:19:47.520 --> 00:19:49.830
then using another Square kilm array
00:19:49.840 --> 00:19:52.190
precursor this time the mirat telescope
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.029
in South Africa they were able to
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.390
pinpoint the location of one specific
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.029
star following up with a sword t scope
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.710
in Chile they determined the star
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.789
Spectra showing it to be a low mass
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.750
spectr Type M Red Dwarf now this
00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:07.149
discovery answered some pressing
00:20:07.159 --> 00:20:10.070
questions but it created a few more and
00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:12.110
M dwarf alone simply couldn't generate
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:13.350
the amount of energy that the
00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:15.390
astronomers were seeing remember these
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.470
are very low mass stars they only have a
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.350
fraction of the Sun's mass and
00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:21.390
luminosity and as we mentioned earlier
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.230
there are lots of them making up some
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.510
70% of all stars in the Milky Way galaxy
00:20:26.520 --> 00:20:28.310
but as the authors look further into the
00:20:28.320 --> 00:20:30.549
data they found that this specific Red
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.029
Dwarf was actually part of a binary
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.310
system with another object most likely
00:20:35.320 --> 00:20:37.310
the corpse of a dead sunl Stein known as
00:20:37.320 --> 00:20:40.350
a white dwarf and together the two of
00:20:40.360 --> 00:20:42.630
them power the radio emission the
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.110
authors are now working on follow-up
00:20:44.120 --> 00:20:45.630
observations that will conclusively
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:47.310
determine the nature of the system and
00:20:47.320 --> 00:20:49.430
also the explanation for this extreme
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:51.549
astrophysical event long period radio
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.190
transients are mysterious new class of
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.270
repeating radio Source in space you
00:20:57.280 --> 00:20:58.870
might be familiar with the idea of a
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.310
pulsar that's a rapidly rotating neutron
00:21:01.320 --> 00:21:03.669
star that produces a continuous beam of
00:21:03.679 --> 00:21:06.270
radio wave and the radio waves can be
00:21:06.280 --> 00:21:08.990
offset from the axis of spin so a little
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:10.710
bit like a lighthouse the Pulsar can
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.870
spin around and every so often the radio
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.390
waves go across our line of sight and we
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.070
see a pulse and that's why pulsars are
00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:19.710
called pulsars so we have long known
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.190
that pulsars spin every few Mill seconds
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.669
every second something along that line
00:21:25.679 --> 00:21:28.630
maybe up to once every 10 seconds but
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.430
we've always thought that as the Pulsar
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.830
slow down their radio emission stops and
00:21:34.840 --> 00:21:37.669
so we've never seen Pulsar at a longer
00:21:37.679 --> 00:21:40.870
like slower period than about 30 seconds
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.149
so in a way we've kind of stopped
00:21:44.159 --> 00:21:46.310
looking for things that spin more slowly
00:21:46.320 --> 00:21:48.470
than that and that's led to a a kind of
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.830
a bias in our observations where we're
00:21:50.840 --> 00:21:52.830
only looking for quickly spinning things
00:21:52.840 --> 00:21:56.549
now my team about four years ago now we
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.870
did a blind experiment where we looked
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.269
for things that change in our galaxy and
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.430
across slower time scales like if they
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.149
could change minute to minute or week to
00:22:05.159 --> 00:22:07.669
week we would pick them up and we found
00:22:07.679 --> 00:22:10.430
one source that in 2018 appeared and
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.750
disappeared every 18 minutes which is
00:22:12.760 --> 00:22:15.789
much much much slower than a normal
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:17.630
pulsar and indeed you would not have
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.390
been able to find this object with a
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:21.669
normal Pulsar search so that was a real
00:22:21.679 --> 00:22:23.390
mystery and that Source basically
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.590
produced pulses that lasted 1 minute
00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:28.630
each and they were 18 minutes apart and
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:32.110
it was only on for 3 months in 2018 and
00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:34.830
by the time we found it in 2020 we had
00:22:34.840 --> 00:22:36.630
missed the fireworks essentially we we
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:38.710
didn't know what that Source was and we
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:40.029
couldn't really go and get more
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:41.750
observations we tried but it had
00:22:41.760 --> 00:22:43.830
switched off so then I designed a new
00:22:43.840 --> 00:22:46.789
survey to actually find these things and
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:48.390
very quickly follow them up and we found
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:50.510
a new source which repeated every 22
00:22:50.520 --> 00:22:52.470
minutes which is still completely
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:54.549
inexplicable we have no idea how you
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:56.149
generate radio waves that repeat every
00:22:56.159 --> 00:22:57.990
22 minutes and we rapidly followed that
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.789
up with lots of telescopes and to our
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:01.950
surprise we also found that in other
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:04.269
archive that went back even longer than
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:06.549
the mwa there were actually pulses all
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.590
the way back to 1988 and that was GPM
00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:12.350
j39 minus 10 and that repeated every 22
00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:14.470
minutes and has been active for 33 years
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:16.950
so that was a mystery because we thought
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:19.029
that these things would only be briefly
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:20.630
active and then disappear now we have
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.870
one that's been here all this time but
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.310
the other thing that that that tells us
00:23:25.320 --> 00:23:27.310
is that there must be lots of these
00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:28.950
hiding in our data because if
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.870
astronomers could miss something sitting
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.269
right in front of them for 33 years then
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.750
all of our data must be full of these
00:23:34.760 --> 00:23:36.230
objects that's just what science is
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.350
about a lot of the time blue sky surveys
00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:40.310
just looking you know what about this
00:23:40.320 --> 00:23:42.110
what about that exactly there was no
00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:44.110
theory that predicted this in fact quite
00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:46.230
the opposite we had theories that said
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.149
there will absolutely not be any radio
00:23:49.159 --> 00:23:52.070
waves that appear on time scales of more
00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:55.070
than 10 seconds or more so it was really
00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:57.149
a huge leap forward to find these
00:23:57.159 --> 00:23:58.990
sources now when you say Blue Sky
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.870
research the issue that we have with
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.669
these long period radio transients is
00:24:02.679 --> 00:24:06.230
that it's kind of white Sky research so
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.630
we're embedded in our own Milky Way
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:10.750
galaxy and so are these long period
00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:12.390
radio transients and when you think
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.590
where is all the stuff in our galaxy
00:24:14.600 --> 00:24:15.870
where are all the stars where are all
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.669
the neutron stars where are all of the
00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:20.070
black holes where is everything well
00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:22.390
it's all clustered together in the dis
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.549
of our galaxy you go outside on a dark
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.389
night and you can see the Milky Way laid
00:24:27.399 --> 00:24:30.590
out overhead well kind of unsurprisingly
00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:32.230
that's where we're finding the long
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.710
period radio transients because they're
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.230
in our galaxy The difficulty is that
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.190
then when we want to ask the question
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.789
okay what can generate radio waves every
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.310
20 minutes what's actually producing
00:24:43.320 --> 00:24:45.110
this it's a really hard question to
00:24:45.120 --> 00:24:46.950
answer because if you look at where the
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:49.870
radio pulses are coming from there are
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:51.870
thousands of stars there's no way of
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.710
telling which star if any of course it
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.389
could be some kind of invisible object
00:24:56.399 --> 00:24:58.389
like a neutron star or a black hole or a
00:24:58.399 --> 00:25:00.070
white dwarf we can't tell which one is
00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:02.430
producing it and then that means it's
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:05.230
very hard to say how the radio emission
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.029
is generated and you know what these
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:08.549
things actually are but then you had a
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:10.950
bit of luck well uh you know Fortune fa
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.870
favors the prepared mind right so we
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.310
realized that this was a problem and
00:25:15.320 --> 00:25:18.350
while we had been doing surveys that are
00:25:18.360 --> 00:25:20.310
targeting the Galaxy with the hope of
00:25:20.320 --> 00:25:22.190
finding these things once we realized
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:24.110
okay great we can find some but it
00:25:24.120 --> 00:25:25.950
doesn't help too much if we just find
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:27.310
some radio waves and we can't follow
00:25:27.320 --> 00:25:28.870
them up we need to look at the rest of
00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:31.630
the sky and so very fortunately I'm the
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:34.190
lead scientist on the galactic and extra
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.830
Galactic all Sky mwa extended survey or
00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:40.070
gleam X for short which is a successor
00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:41.909
to the very popular gleam survey which
00:25:41.919 --> 00:25:44.710
was the first survey in radio color and
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.909
glex is serving the whole Sky south of
00:25:47.919 --> 00:25:50.789
declination 30 so that's about 75% of
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.430
the visible sky and in doing that of
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:55.029
course we cover parts of the sky that
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:57.269
are our own Galaxy but also lots of
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.750
parts that are kind of slightly away
00:25:59.760 --> 00:26:02.909
from where all of the stuff is and in
00:26:02.919 --> 00:26:05.630
searching that data we optimized our
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:07.830
algorithms to find the long period radio
00:26:07.840 --> 00:26:09.789
transients and I worked with a wonderful
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:11.750
third-year undergraduate student called
00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:13.909
chanard hovas who helped Implement
00:26:13.919 --> 00:26:15.750
filters that would be better at picking
00:26:15.760 --> 00:26:17.950
these elusive signals out of the data
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:20.510
and we were successful and you saw this
00:26:20.520 --> 00:26:23.430
red dwarf so that's right so we found a
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:25.549
repeating radio transient that isn't
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:28.350
buried deep inside the Galaxy it appears
00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:31.909
is about 13° off the plane so it's still
00:26:31.919 --> 00:26:34.510
in our galaxy it's just not buried
00:26:34.520 --> 00:26:37.190
inside all the mess of all of the stars
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.710
and we could see with the accuracy of
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.669
the mwa that the radio populations were
00:26:43.679 --> 00:26:45.350
coming from one of two different Stars
00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:48.310
we weren't sure which one or indeed it
00:26:48.320 --> 00:26:50.110
could have been that it could have been
00:26:50.120 --> 00:26:52.549
appearing from an invisible Source
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:54.230
between the Stars we weren't really sure
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.070
with the accuracy of the mwa but we were
00:26:56.080 --> 00:26:57.470
able to make the detection so we
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:00.950
followed up with mircat which is another
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.630
big telescope in the Southern Hemisphere
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:05.470
and indeed both the mwa and mircat are
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:07.470
precursors to the square kilometer array
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:09.510
so meat's in South Africa and I have a
00:27:09.520 --> 00:27:11.470
great working relationship with the team
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.430
there they've done lots of fantastic
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:15.269
observations towards these long period
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.230
radio transients so we got time to look
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:20.110
at our source and mirat has a better
00:27:20.120 --> 00:27:22.549
positional precision and boom
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:24.470
highlighted that those pulsations were
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.830
coming from one specific star an M3
00:27:27.840 --> 00:27:28.789
dwarf
00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:31.990
so it seemed very difficult to explain
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.070
that we're seeing these bright radio
00:27:34.080 --> 00:27:36.310
pulsations from what looks like kind of
00:27:36.320 --> 00:27:39.669
a boring star but when we looked at the
00:27:39.679 --> 00:27:42.149
timing of the pulsations sometimes they
00:27:42.159 --> 00:27:43.950
would arrive a little bit sooner than
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:45.789
they expected and sometimes they would
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:47.789
arrive a little bit later than we
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.909
expected as if the source of the radio
00:27:50.919 --> 00:27:53.669
waves was moving closer to us and then
00:27:53.679 --> 00:27:55.990
further away and then closer and then
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:58.630
further away and that of course impli
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:01.909
an orbit so as if the radio emitter is
00:28:01.919 --> 00:28:05.029
in an orbit with the m dwarf now that's
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:06.870
exciting because there are actually
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:10.630
known systems that behave this way and
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.789
while some of them have produced radio
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:14.310
waves none of them have ever been as
00:28:14.320 --> 00:28:15.870
bright as the long period radio
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.870
transients it at least gives us some
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:21.070
kind of framework to start testing our
00:28:21.080 --> 00:28:23.470
observations and testing what we see
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:25.590
against that theoretical
00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:29.149
model now at this stage the hypothesis
00:28:29.159 --> 00:28:31.470
is that the binary partner to this red
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:33.310
dwarf it's not likely to be a neutron
00:28:33.320 --> 00:28:35.190
star because the beam isn't powerful
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:37.230
enough but it could be a white dwarf
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.310
yeah that's the suspicion now
00:28:40.320 --> 00:28:41.990
unfortunately our system while it is out
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.630
of the plane is 5,000 light years away
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.149
so it's still really really far away now
00:28:48.159 --> 00:28:50.350
a white dwarf to put it into context a
00:28:50.360 --> 00:28:53.269
white dwarf is this core of carbon and
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:56.470
oxygen and helium and it's quite small
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:58.630
it's about the size of the planet Earth
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:01.750
and it's quite bright in UV so like just
00:29:01.760 --> 00:29:03.669
a little bit shorter wavelength than the
00:29:03.679 --> 00:29:06.070
visible light that we see but they they
00:29:06.080 --> 00:29:06.830
so
00:29:06.840 --> 00:29:09.830
small they're quite dim and the blue
00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:12.590
light that they produce is very easily
00:29:12.600 --> 00:29:15.590
absorbed by dust in our galaxy and so
00:29:15.600 --> 00:29:17.710
even though our source is is quite off
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:19.630
the plane and it's closer than most of
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.389
the long period radio trans it's still
00:29:21.399 --> 00:29:23.389
really really hard to tell so we are
00:29:23.399 --> 00:29:25.870
working on followup with other
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:27.870
telescopes to try and pick out whether
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:29.830
they're is a white dwarf in that system
00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:31.630
and that would really be Smoking Gun
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.470
evidence that at least some of the long
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.630
period radio transients are caused by
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:38.389
these binary M dwarf white dwarf system
00:29:38.399 --> 00:29:39.750
and that's very cool because white
00:29:39.760 --> 00:29:41.750
dwarfs they're not supposed to act like
00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:43.789
pulsars essentially that would imply
00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:45.909
that the white dwarf has a very strong
00:29:45.919 --> 00:29:47.990
magnetic field how did it get that
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.549
magnetic field why is it using that
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:52.110
magnetic field to generate radio
00:29:52.120 --> 00:29:54.350
emission I mean I had a lovely
00:29:54.360 --> 00:29:56.549
conversation with some white dwarf and M
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:58.549
dwarf experts a couple week weeks ago on
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:01.389
a telecon and we spent 2 hours talking
00:30:01.399 --> 00:30:03.509
about M dwarfs and white dwarfs and we
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.230
were still not that much closer to
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.190
explaining exactly how these systems
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:10.230
work but at least having an optical
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.149
counterpart gives us something to follow
00:30:12.159 --> 00:30:15.430
up as opposed to well it could be any of
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:17.750
a thousand stars nearby and we have no
00:30:17.760 --> 00:30:19.630
idea where to start when we look at a
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:21.669
planet like Jupiter we know that a lot
00:30:21.679 --> 00:30:23.990
of its auroral activity comes not just
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.269
from the solar wind but also from one of
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:28.990
its Galilean moons I which is constantly
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:31.590
spewing material into space could the
00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:33.350
Red Dwarf be doing the same sort of
00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:35.669
thing to the white dwarf I do agree that
00:30:35.679 --> 00:30:38.310
is a very plausible emission mechanism I
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:40.190
believe that's called electron flotron
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:43.310
merer emission and there was actually a
00:30:43.320 --> 00:30:45.389
paper literally we put our paper on
00:30:45.399 --> 00:30:47.789
archive to say we had submitted it to
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:50.070
astrophysical journal letters and within
00:30:50.080 --> 00:30:52.470
a week a pair of theorists who work on
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:54.070
these kinds of things had looked at our
00:30:54.080 --> 00:30:55.789
paper and another one that was published
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:57.430
by or has been submitted by another
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.430
group and did some very complicated math
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.509
and said okay maybe it's electron cyron
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:04.389
Meer emission with relativistic
00:31:04.399 --> 00:31:06.750
electrons now that's great that's a step
00:31:06.760 --> 00:31:08.710
forward now we need to take some of the
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:11.149
testable predictions from that paper and
00:31:11.159 --> 00:31:13.029
then compare them to our observations
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:14.789
and a lot of scien is done like this The
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.710
Observers will find something unusual or
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:19.389
strange that is not explained by the
00:31:19.399 --> 00:31:21.110
current theories and once we make enough
00:31:21.120 --> 00:31:23.430
noise about it and we say no look guys
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:25.190
you've got to update your theories the
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:26.830
theorists will spend some time on a
00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:28.430
Blackboard or a white board and then
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:31.509
they'll write a whole a whole paper of
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.070
very complicated equations which
00:31:33.080 --> 00:31:35.389
hopefully has some ideas in there about
00:31:35.399 --> 00:31:37.470
what observers should see if that theory
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:39.509
is correct and so we do this kind of
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.590
dance back and forth that's associate
00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:43.629
professor Natasha Hurley Walker from the
00:31:43.639 --> 00:31:45.190
curtain University node of the
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.549
International Center for radioastronomy
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:52.710
research and this is spacetime
00:31:52.720 --> 00:32:06.190
[Music]
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:07.710
and time now to take a brief look at
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:09.110
some of the other stories making news
00:32:09.120 --> 00:32:11.190
and science this week with a science
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:13.870
report a new study has warned that
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:16.230
shallow groundwater is projected to warm
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:20.430
on average by between 2.1 and 3.5 de C
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.990
by the end of the century the findings
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:24.230
reported in the journal Nature
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:26.549
geoscience are based on a new Global
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:28.310
groundwater computer simul ation
00:32:28.320 --> 00:32:30.789
temperature model the model estimates
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:35.029
that by 2099 between 59 and 588 million
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.230
people worldwide will be living in areas
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:39.310
where groundwater exceeds the highest
00:32:39.320 --> 00:32:41.830
threshold for drinky water temperature
00:32:41.840 --> 00:32:43.350
the model predicts the highest warming
00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:45.669
rates will be in central Russia northern
00:32:45.679 --> 00:32:48.110
China and parts of North America in the
00:32:48.120 --> 00:32:50.269
Amazon forest with Australian
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.430
groundwater temperatures also expected
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:53.909
to
00:32:53.919 --> 00:32:56.830
rise a new study has shown that sugary
00:32:56.840 --> 00:32:58.950
drinks could be responsible for one in
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.629
10 new typee 2 diabetes cases and at
00:33:01.639 --> 00:33:03.789
least one in 30 new cases of heart
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:06.629
disease worldwide the findings reported
00:33:06.639 --> 00:33:08.470
in the journal Nature medicine used
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:10.149
worldwide data on the consumption of
00:33:10.159 --> 00:33:12.269
sugar sweetened beverages combined with
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.430
data on diabetes and heart disease rates
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:16.590
around the world to estimate how many of
00:33:16.600 --> 00:33:18.389
these health conditions could reasonably
00:33:18.399 --> 00:33:20.190
be attributed to the negative Health
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.509
impacts of drinking too many sugary
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:26.269
drinks they estimate that in 2020 2.2
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:28.750
million new cases of type to diabetes
00:33:28.760 --> 00:33:30.750
and 1.2 million new cases of heart
00:33:30.760 --> 00:33:32.830
disease could be attributable to these
00:33:32.840 --> 00:33:35.269
drinks with subsaharan Africa seeing the
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.629
greatest increase over the past 30
00:33:38.639 --> 00:33:40.789
years scientists have discovered that
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:43.110
the now long extinct ancient New Zealand
00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:45.830
bird the Moa had expensive tastes
00:33:45.840 --> 00:33:48.669
enjoying a snack on truffles scientists
00:33:48.679 --> 00:33:50.149
have found that fossilized mower
00:33:50.159 --> 00:33:52.029
droppings show that these ancient Birds
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:54.549
used to consume fungi that was symbiotic
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:56.870
with trees a report in the journal
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:59.190
biology letters analyzed two ancient
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.149
coer lights found in Nelson and
00:34:01.159 --> 00:34:03.870
fjordland Beach forests both from small
00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:06.669
Upland Mower and identified fungal DNA
00:34:06.679 --> 00:34:09.550
and spores they found that the M had
00:34:09.560 --> 00:34:11.629
been munching on truffle likee fungi
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:13.349
that have mutual relationships with
00:34:13.359 --> 00:34:15.909
Forest forming trees the author said
00:34:15.919 --> 00:34:17.750
that these native fungi may have been
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.230
dependent on MOA to spread their spores
00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:22.109
so the extinction of these ancient birds
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:23.710
that ate them could have affected not
00:34:23.720 --> 00:34:25.990
only their spread but also native New
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:29.389
Zealand forest ecosystems
00:34:29.399 --> 00:34:31.109
well it was the biggest story in America
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:33.389
just weeks ago but all the hype about
00:34:33.399 --> 00:34:35.589
those so-called mysterious drones that
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.629
were allegedly invading the Skies of New
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.909
Jersey have all of a sudden disappeared
00:34:39.919 --> 00:34:42.389
from the headlines or was it just that
00:34:42.399 --> 00:34:44.550
the real news of the disastrous La
00:34:44.560 --> 00:34:47.310
wildfires took away all their attention
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:49.470
Tim mendum from a strali skeptic says
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.190
the Drone story was never a real story
00:34:52.200 --> 00:34:54.470
just a lot of clickbait Gone Wild these
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:57.030
things go feds they'll always come
00:34:57.040 --> 00:34:58.950
around particular UFO sightings and you
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:01.069
people like UFO hysteria and UFO
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:03.030
enthusiasms but the problem is that you
00:35:03.040 --> 00:35:04.630
know these things pop up every so often
00:35:04.640 --> 00:35:06.870
we had the one not that long ago of the
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.150
talks to Congress Etc the witness was
00:35:09.160 --> 00:35:11.030
coming before US Congress suggesting
00:35:11.040 --> 00:35:12.670
government knows about all these UFOs
00:35:12.680 --> 00:35:13.990
they have them and they have the bodies
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:15.310
and these things are buried under the
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:16.910
ground blah blah blah and the truth will
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:18.630
be out there within 12 months or
00:35:18.640 --> 00:35:19.990
whatever and then it's never happened
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.150
they've been saying this since the 940s
00:35:22.160 --> 00:35:24.310
when the Uso that craze first started
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:26.349
that a truth will come out very soon
00:35:26.359 --> 00:35:28.310
we're waiting what 80 years later or
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:29.589
something like that and it still hasn't
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:32.710
come out these lights over New Jersey
00:35:32.720 --> 00:35:34.589
it's fascinating stuff people's looking
00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:35.829
up in the sky and seeing things they
00:35:35.839 --> 00:35:37.270
don't look up in the sky often enough
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:38.630
and they seeing things up there which
00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:40.109
they can't explain fair enough they're
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:41.910
not trained observers in these things
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:43.670
and funny enough these lights move
00:35:43.680 --> 00:35:45.829
exactly like planes move they have
00:35:45.839 --> 00:35:47.550
navigation markings on them some have
00:35:47.560 --> 00:35:49.430
navigation light and two people ask why
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:51.750
would an alien craft have navigation
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:53.190
lights and someone suggested oh it's
00:35:53.200 --> 00:35:55.550
insurance issues uo worried about
00:35:55.560 --> 00:35:57.270
bumping into another plane and they
00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:58.910
being being have to pay the insurance
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:00.349
those rats would be out of this world
00:36:00.359 --> 00:36:01.790
yeah yeah but I mean there's a lot of
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:03.870
people who are are sort of explaining
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:06.109
patiently what these things are
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.870
self-respecting alien life form that's
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:10.710
traveled billions of light years to
00:36:10.720 --> 00:36:13.309
reach us would fly over New Jersey well
00:36:13.319 --> 00:36:14.829
the same ones that fly over the the
00:36:14.839 --> 00:36:17.750
Midwest of USA and kidnap local farmers
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:19.309
Etc you know and give them a good
00:36:19.319 --> 00:36:21.150
probing give a good probing so I mean
00:36:21.160 --> 00:36:22.510
surely one of them's going to land
00:36:22.520 --> 00:36:25.069
somewhere in a real on the front lawn of
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:26.510
but what are you going to say going to
00:36:26.520 --> 00:36:28.230
land on the front lawn the White House
00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:29.950
and say take us to your leader there's
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:31.190
going to be a lot of head scratching if
00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:32.630
that happens right
00:36:32.640 --> 00:36:35.550
now very funny after all these years
00:36:35.560 --> 00:36:37.230
there is no evidence and these New
00:36:37.240 --> 00:36:39.069
Jersey well we was calling them drones
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:40.670
because theyum a lot of them are Dr some
00:36:40.680 --> 00:36:41.910
of them weren't drones some of them were
00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:45.349
actually aircraft that's right were
00:36:45.359 --> 00:36:47.349
aircraft anyone can look at them and see
00:36:47.359 --> 00:36:49.589
their aircraft it's some them are drones
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.069
Ian Amazon do parel deliveries and
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:53.750
drones are very common these days you
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:55.510
know you can pick them up at a local
00:36:55.520 --> 00:36:58.069
supermarket basically but I mean Geller
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:00.349
of course our favorite spoon bender and
00:37:00.359 --> 00:37:02.030
self-publisher says these sightings are
00:37:02.040 --> 00:37:04.309
a warning to Earth with a show of power
00:37:04.319 --> 00:37:06.990
and Superior technology but you you
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:08.710
course he does of course he do he will
00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:10.670
hop on any latest Trend and sort of
00:37:10.680 --> 00:37:12.630
claim it yeah these things they come and
00:37:12.640 --> 00:37:14.950
they go as you say the you know the Los
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:17.030
Angeles fires have taken the New Jersey
00:37:17.040 --> 00:37:19.309
aliens totally off the front pages but
00:37:19.319 --> 00:37:21.270
give it a few months a year perhaps a
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:22.470
year and a half and there'll be a new
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:24.190
set of sightings and definite things
00:37:24.200 --> 00:37:25.630
which the truth is just around the
00:37:25.640 --> 00:37:27.670
corner if the regular occurrence for
00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:29.470
these things it's a trend they come and
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:31.950
they go like all sorts of Trends that's
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:36.100
