  • S27E119: Ancient Australian Crater, Mars' Zebra Rock, and New Glenn's Fiery Test

    S27E119: Ancient Australian Crater, Mars' Zebra Rock, and New Glenn's Fiery Test
    Oct 2 2024
    SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 119
    *Australian Crater Offers Fresh Insights into Earth's History
    Scientists have uncovered a potential 600-kilometre-wide crater in Australia's outback, which could revolutionise our understanding of Earth's geological past. This discovery, presented at the 37th International Geological Congress in South Korea, suggests the existence of Mapix, a massive Cambrian-Precambrian impact structure. The crater's unique characteristics could provide new insights into the geological and biological evolution of our planet. The study's authors have found significant geological evidence, including pseudotachylite breccia and shock minerals like lonsdaleite, supporting the age, size, and location of this impact structure.
    *Perseverance Rover Discovers Striped Rock on Mars
    NASA's Mars Perseverance rover has spotted an unusual black and white striped rock on the Red Planet. The discovery was made during the rover's exploration of the outer rim of Jezero Crater. The rock, named Freya Castle, has a striking pattern and is unlike anything previously observed on Mars. Early interpretations suggest that igneous and metamorphic processes could have created its distinctive stripes. This finding adds to the variety of intriguing rocks discovered by the rover, which could be among the oldest or youngest ever investigated on Mars.
    *Blue Origin's New Glenn Completes Second Stage Hot Fire Test
    Blue Origin's new heavy-lift rocket, the New Glenn, has successfully completed a hot fire test of its second stage booster. This critical test at Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 36 marks a key step towards the rocket's inaugural test flight, scheduled for next month. The NG-1 mission will carry the prototype Blue Ring spacecraft, designed for refuelling, transporting, and hosting satellites. The 15-second hot fire test demonstrated the integrated operation of the vehicle's BE-3U engines and various subsystems, setting the stage for future missions.

  • S27E118: Dark Matter's Hidden Forces, Naked Eye Comet, and Mars by 2028?

    S27E118: Dark Matter's Hidden Forces, Naked Eye Comet, and Mars by 2028?
    Sep 30 2024
    SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 118
    *Dark Matter May Be Experiencing Forces Beyond Gravity
    A groundbreaking new study suggests that dark matter, the elusive substance making up 85% of the universe's matter, may interact through forces other than gravity. Using observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have found that dark matter particles might experience additional forces, providing crucial new insights into their nature. The findings challenge the long-held collisionless cold dark matter model, opening new avenues for understanding the universe's most perplexing component.
    *Rare Naked Eye Comet Visible from Earth
    Skywatchers have a unique opportunity to witness the rare comet C/2023 A3 (Shushani Atlas) with the naked eye. Discovered by the Purple Mountain Observatory and the Atlas system, this comet is currently visible just before sunrise near the eastern horizon. On an 80,000-year journey from the Oort cloud, it is expected to become even brighter after passing close to the Sun, potentially reaching a magnitude of 2.5.
    *Humans on Mars by 2028?
    Former US President Donald Trump has announced an ambitious plan to send humans to Mars by 2028, eight years ahead of current schedules. This bold statement comes as Trump hints at discussions with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to use the company's Starship for the mission. While the Artemis programme aims to return humans to the Moon by 2026, Trump's proposal could significantly accelerate human exploration of the Red Planet.

  • S27E117: Colossal Black Hole Jets, Europa Clipper's Launch, and Iran's Defiant Missile Test

    S27E117: Colossal Black Hole Jets, Europa Clipper's Launch, and Iran's Defiant Missile Test
    Sep 27 2024
    SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 117
    *The Biggest Black Hole Jets Ever Seen
    Astronomers have detected the largest pair of black hole jets ever observed, stretching an astounding 23 million light years. Named Porphyron, this jet megastructure dates back to when the universe was just 6.3 billion years old. The discovery, published in the journal Nature, suggests that these colossal jets had a significant impact on galaxy formation during the universe's early epochs.
    *NASA's Europa Clipper Mission Ready for Launch
    All systems are go for next month's launch of NASA's Europa Clipper mission, set to study the oceans of Jupiter's ice moon, Europa. The spacecraft will be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket and will undertake a series of 49 close flybys to determine if Europa's subsurface ocean could be habitable.
    *Iran Tests Another Nuclear Capable Missile
    In defiance of United Nations resolutions, Iran has tested a new medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The launch of the Karam 100 missile is part of Tehran's ongoing efforts to develop its nuclear weapons delivery systems.
