00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.200
will broadcast on the seventeenth of August twenty twenty six.
3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.519
Coming up on space Time, astronomers have for the first
4
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:14.039
time discovered a galaxy near the dawn of creation containing
5
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:18.519
three monster black holes, a new White House Advisory body
6
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:23.640
focusing on UFOs, and was the planet Venus once just
7
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.519
like the Earth? All that and more Coming up on
8
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:28.600
space Time.
9
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.840
Welcome to Space Time with Stuart Gary.
10
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.359
Astronomers have for the first time discovered a galaxy near
11
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:57.000
the dawn of creation containing three monster black holes. The
12
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.640
trio of super massive black holes are approximately eight eighty million,
13
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.640
two million, and zero point six million times the mass
14
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.120
of our Sun. Now by comparison, Sagittarius a star, the
15
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.799
super massive black hole at the center of our own galaxy,
16
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.959
the Milky Way as about four point three million solar masses.
17
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.319
This trio of actively accreting super massive black holes were
18
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.159
detected in the galaxy Jay zero one four to eight
19
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.959
minus forty two fourteen, located some twelve and a half
20
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.400
billion light years away. Now that distance, the expansion of
21
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:34.319
space time itself becomes apparent. The galaxy therefore appears to
22
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.200
be moving away from us, causing its light to shift
23
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.359
towards longer rid of wavelengths, resulting in a red shift
24
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.079
of Z equaling five point zero two. Now, using that
25
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.879
red shift, the studies authors were able to calculate the
26
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.079
galaxy's enormous distance. It's so far away we're seeing it
27
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.280
as it appeared just one point two billion years after
28
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.439
the Big Bang, some thirteen point eight billion years ago.
29
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:02.120
The findings, reported in the journal Astronomy in Astrophysics show
30
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.640
matter is falling into all three supermassive black holes, forming
31
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.199
accretion discs around each of them. The stadi's lead author
32
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.080
and Ubler from the Max Planck Institute says it's the
33
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:16.000
first time evidence of three active super massive black holes
34
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.360
and a single galaxy has ever been detected. Two of
35
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.479
these black holes are located at the galactic center and
36
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.240
are separated by about six hundred and twenty light years
37
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.280
from each other. The third is near the outer reaches
38
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.879
of the galaxy, at a distance of five thy five
39
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.680
hundred light years from the galactic core. Based on our observations,
40
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.199
theories of galaxy evolution suggest that early in the history
41
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.800
of the universe, galaxies were a lot closer together, and
42
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.759
therefore it was much easier for them to collide and merge.
43
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.560
In that process, their central super massive black holes. Almost
44
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.719
all galaxies have one also merged, giving rise to even
45
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.919
more massive black holes the centers of the merged galaxies.
46
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.039
Uber and colleagues identified these three black holes through their
47
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.520
spectral signature. Looking at hydrogen atoms moving on a higher
48
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.560
velocity in the gravitational potential of each of the black
49
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.479
holes in the central region, the spectrum exhibits a complex
50
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.680
structure best to explained by two black holes in close proximity.
51
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:18.439
To disentangle the two central sources, the authors applied spectro astrometry,
52
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.319
a technique that precisely measures spatial shifts in line emissions
53
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.680
across the galaxy. That made it possible to determine the
54
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.319
positions of the black holes, even though they couldn't be
55
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:32.479
specially resolved as separate point sources, and the third black hole, well,
56
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.520
it was easily detected at the outer regions of the galaxy.
57
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.159
The most massive of the black holes in this screw,
58
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.680
approximately eighty million solar masses, is accreting at a lower
59
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.719
rate in its nearby companion, which is just zero point
60
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:48.400
six million solar masses in size, which is actively feeding
61
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.680
and even exceeding the maximum accretion rate predicted by the
62
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.680
Eddington limit. That's the basic equation governing the rate of
63
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.000
black hole growth based on the amount of material that
64
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.159
can be absorbed in any given period of time. The
65
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.919
observations by the web Space telescope allowed the astronomers to
66
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.120
not only identify the three black holes, but also estimate
67
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.240
their masses, their accretion rates, and the stellar mass of
68
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.039
the galaxy as a whole, showing that Jay zero one
69
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.800
four eight minus forty two to fourteen has about one
70
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.319
point three billion solar masses, with the three black holes
71
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.480
representing a significant fraction of that turtle. The authors think
72
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.360
the central black hole pair are expected to merge sometime
73
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.560
within the next few hundred million years. As for that
74
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.839
third black hole, the one located off nucleus, well, it's
75
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.879
other the remnant of a previous merger, displaced from the
76
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.160
center by a gravitational recall kick, or it's still migrating
77
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.879
inwards towards the center. Any time will tell. This is
78
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.879
space time still to come. A new White House Advisory
79
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.519
body looking at UFOs and a new study suggest a
80
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.600
planet Venus may once have been just like the Earth.
81
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.839
All that and more still to come on space time.
82
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.680
The Pentagon has just released its latest batch of X
83
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:14.160
files looking at unexplained phenomena and strange happenings. The release
84
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:18.079
follows the appointment of Harvard University astrophysicist R. V. Lobe
85
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.639
as the chair of the new White House Scientific Panel
86
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.920
on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena what you and I used to
87
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.680
call UFOs. The body was established following a directive by
88
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.560
the United States President Donald Trump. This new scientific panel
89
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.120
will review reports and evaluate possible national security risks. It
90
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.360
will also recommend new senses for data collection and provide
91
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.839
a framework aimed at increasing government transparency and declassifying UFO
92
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:49.079
related information. Lob's panel includes scientists and former military officials
93
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.639
who will apply strict scientific methodology to investigate unexplained objects
94
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.959
and determine whether their advanced technologies from adversarial nations or
95
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.519
of possible non human orage. Now that could mean meteorological
96
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.519
or geological phenomena, but he could also mean stuff from
97
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:09.959
out of space. Loebe, who's head of Harvard University's Galileo project,
98
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.680
says he's optimistic that conspiracy theories about government cover ups
99
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.399
will soon be a thing of the past. The move
100
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.199
comes as the pedagog at President Trump's request, has been
101
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.839
releasing batches of files, including videos of flying objects that
102
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.519
appear to fire the convention abilities of human made aircraft.
103
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.160
Loebe says there's now a completely different mindset in Washington
104
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.000
following President Trump's directive. This team will try to figure
105
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.959
out what these weird events really are and remove any
106
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.519
suspicion that the government's hiding things. Loeb says the recent
107
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.959
developments have represented a shift towards greater government transparency. The
108
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.079
new appointment comes as the Pentagon releases its fifth batch
109
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.439
of the Classified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena files. This let US
110
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.480
trench includes forty one documents, images, and videos spanning from
111
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.160
the nineteen fifties through to twenty twenty six, and they
112
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.879
make for some fascinating reading. They include a two thousand
113
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.639
and two triangle UFO sighting in Afghanistan and involved two
114
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.600
US military pilots who claim to have seen a huge, unlit,
115
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.399
equilateral triangular shape flying object some one hundred and fifty
116
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.639
meters long, big enough to block out the background stars,
117
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.160
and which was moving silently over the Bagram Air Force
118
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.920
Space in Afghanistan at around one hundred and fifty knots now.
119
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.120
The key here is there are no known aircraft owned
120
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.399
by any country that are that big. Then, there was
121
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.360
an incident in the Gulf of a Man back in
122
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.800
twenty twenty one in which the crew of the Hercules
123
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.240
AC one point thirty gun ship, who were engaged in
124
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.079
a live fire exercise, suddenly saw two small orbs hovering
125
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.360
next to their target. Now, when the gunship crew opened
126
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.079
fire on these objects, thinking they may have been new targets,
127
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.480
twenty five more orbs suddenly appeared, flying in formation at
128
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.079
supersonic speeds up to MAC one point seven and interacting
129
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.319
with each other, sort of like dolphins. These objects had
130
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.240
no detectable exhaust signatures and flew like an autonomously coordinated
131
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.399
drone swarm. Then there was a weird u off hern Carter, which, apparently,
132
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.920
if you believed the claimant, caused time dilation, the slowing
133
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.560
or speeding up of time due to gravity or velocity. Now,
134
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.240
in this event, the witness told the FBI agency was
135
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.680
speaking with that he saw two unidentified dash shaped red
136
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.399
lights in the evening sky. He then put on a
137
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.959
set of night vision goggles and found the lights took
138
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.879
on a more circular orb like appearance. He was so
139
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.080
fascinated he got out of his vehicle to get a
140
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.679
better look and watched them for about twenty minutes before
141
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.080
the two orbs disappeared, but they were then replaced by
142
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.320
two more orbs to the east of the first two,
143
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.159
followed by a third orb which apparently was behind him.
144
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.679
So he went back to his vehicle to drive up
145
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.600
to the location of the new orbs that he had
146
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.799
just seen, but they also disappeared before he got there,
147
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.600
and when he checked the time on his watch, he
148
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.679
discovered that he had suddenly gained twenty five minutes compaired
149
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.879
to the digital clock in his vehicle and on his
150
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.679
car cell phone. He claims that he had checked the
151
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.039
time the watch earlier that evening and it matched the
152
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.159
other two clocks. Because of this, he kept monitoring his
153
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.600
watch for the next couple of days, finding that it
154
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.840
had neither gained nor lost time since This laterst drop
155
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.759
of documents comes just a month after the fourth batch
156
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.840
of forty files were released, which included fourteen documents, nineteen videos,
157
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.480
four audio files, and three images. They came from a
158
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:29.000
variety of agencies, including the Pentagon, NASA, CIA, the FBI,
159
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.879
and the Department of Energy. They included a nineteen ninety
160
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.639
six Columbia Space Shuttle image of what appears to be
161
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.559
a rotating triangular object in space. There was a twenty
162
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.279
twenty five five minute infrared military video tracking an erratic
163
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.000
object over the East China Sea, and a report from
164
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.840
the US Department of Energy describing an unidentified flying object
165
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:54.159
intruding into restricted airspace over the Pentext Nuclear weapons Facility
166
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.039
near Amarillo, Texas. That was in September twenty fifteen and
167
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.639
at force the highly classified facil to be placed in lockdown.
168
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.440
Following the first release of files back in May, which
169
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.919
included the now famous FA eighteen gun camera vision so
170
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.879
called TikTok UFOs, additional releases of UFO files were made
171
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.120
on May the twenty second and June the twelfth, highlighting
172
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.639
sightings and the foreign submarines, objects moving at seemingly impossible speeds,
173
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.840
and reports of lots more silent, hovering or black objects.
174
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.120
Now for r v LOBE any scientific advisory panel, this
175
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.320
latest release is undeadly going to provide a treasure travel
176
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.480
of information. Fox Moler would have been proud of. Senior
177
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.799
science writer and Sky Telescope Magazine contributed Jonathanali says Lobe's
178
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.840
interest in extraterrestrial phenomena dates back many, many years.
179
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:47.799
Let's positive hypothetical, UFOs are aliens visiting us from other
180
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.399
planets and doing whatever they're doing here for their own reasons,
181
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.480
and they they're real nextigures. That's the positive as a hypothetical.
182
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.320
If you've got someone who, for some reason whatever believes
183
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.840
that that is the case, then maybe that person is
184
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.200
the right person to bring that information to life. If,
185
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.240
as I suspect, all the CUFO stuff is nonsense, then
186
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.879
having someone who has quite part of zan towards one
187
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.759
side of the argument might not be the best idea.
188
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.039
You know, being fair, you know, you might have someone
189
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.360
who's dead against this whole concept of aliens visiting the Earth,
190
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.639
category into which I would probably fall, might not be
191
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.600
a good idea to have me there either. We want
192
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.679
probably someone who is a bit more agnostic or ambivalent
193
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.720
about the whole thing. But in any case, you want
194
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.720
someone to just to stick to the fact. The room
195
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.159
may be seen Where this gets to, it's interesting the
196
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:40.720
professor Lowe has there was that interstellar asteroid, yeah, which
197
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:44.200
can flak is the Solar System. And he was a
198
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:48.120
talking head on in the media. He's very good at publicity,
199
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.159
and he wrote things about it and said things about it,
200
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.440
and there was I think I read it. There was
201
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.600
some famous essay or article or opinion piece he wrote
202
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.919
which heavily if he started to read it, it was
203
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:05.240
to heavily suggest that he was suggesting that it this
204
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:10.159
thing was very likely to be not natural, some sort
205
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:14.480
of artificial object from some other civilization, happy in space.
206
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:15.879
But if you read right to the bottom and got
207
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.159
to the final paragraph, he ended up was saying he
208
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.799
said something like in it, but more than likely it's
209
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.000
just an asteroid. So who knows that?
210
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:29.240
Senior science writer Sky and Telescope magazine contributor Jonathanale. And
211
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.919
this is space time still to come, and you study
212
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.360
suggested the hellish inhospitable ward of Venus, but once had
213
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.639
been far more earth like. And later in the Science
214
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.200
Report Western Europe, it's just experienced. It's hot, a student
215
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.559
in July on record, and it's still a month of
216
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:49.159
summer Togo. All that and more still to come on
217
00:12:49.360 --> 00:13:09.120
space time. A new study suggest that the hellish inhospitable
218
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.000
word of Venus could once have been far more earth like. Today,
219
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.360
the planet the Venus is the nearest thing to Hell
220
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.279
in our Solar System, with surface temperatures of over four
221
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.200
hundred and sixty five degrees celsius that's hot enough to
222
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:25.279
melt lead, a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere with pressures ninety
223
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.039
three times greater than sea level on Earth, and thick
224
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.840
clouds of sulfuric acid twenty five kilometers deep, keeping this
225
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.600
hellish world in a perpetual, dull yellow light. But the
226
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.200
strange thing is that Venus and Earth Us is the planets.
227
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.519
They're both about the same size. They were formed in
228
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.000
the same part of the Solar System at the same time,
229
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:49.000
under similar conditions, and from the same material. But while
230
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:52.320
the Earth has a habitable environment capable of supporting life,
231
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.879
Venus has evolved into a nightmarish hades with a runaway
232
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.519
greenhouse effect. But it may not always have been so.
233
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.120
Billions of years ago, our planetary neighbor may have looked
234
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.759
far more like the Earth, complete with oceans potentially harbouring life.
235
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.639
The clues lie in Venus's weird polygonal planes, which could
236
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.360
be pointing to a watery past. A new study reported
237
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.320
in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters examines this
238
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.600
mysterious network of cracks that cover the planet's surface. Scientists
239
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.600
are still debating their origins. Each is between one and
240
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.919
two kilometres wide and set into the fractured ground of
241
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.559
the planet's low lying planes. Now, these features are thought
242
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.120
to have formed as volcanic rock cooled and contracted, but
