    S03E129: Dinosaur-Killer Asteroid's Origin, Tianwen-1's Mars Map, and Hypervelocity Star Discovery
    Aug 16 2024
    Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your ultimate source for the latest in space and Astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna, and today we have an exciting lineup of stories that will take you on a journey through some of the most intriguing recent updates in the cosmos. Whether you're a seasoned space enthusiast or just curious about what's happening up there, this podcast is the perfect place for you to catch up on the latest discoveries. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into today's stellar stories.
    - **Asteroid That Wiped Out the Dinosaurs Originated Beyond Jupiter**: Recent findings have shed new light on the asteroid that ended the reign of the dinosaurs. Researchers have pinpointed that this massive asteroid, which collided with the Yucatan peninsula 66 million years ago, originated beyond Jupiter.
    - **China's Tianwen-1 Mission Unveils High-Resolution Global Color Map of Mars**: China's Tianwen-1 mission has released a groundbreaking, high-resolution global color map of Mars. This map offers unprecedented detail and accuracy, surpassing previous global images with a resolution of 76 meters per pixel.
    - **Hypervelocity Star Discovered by Citizen Scientists**: A hypervelocity star named J1249+36 has been identified by citizen scientists participating in the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project. This star is speeding through our galaxy at about 1.3 million mph, making it the first very low mass hypervelocity star discovered.
    - **Ensuring Astronauts' Mental Well-Being in Space**: Life on the International Space Station (ISS) can seriously impact the performance and well-being of astronauts. Studies on the ISS are focused on understanding these effects and testing new technologies to counteract them.

  • S03E128: Extending Starliner ISS Mission, Terraforming Mars, and Perseverance's Ascent

    S03E128: Extending Starliner ISS Mission, Terraforming Mars, and Perseverance's Ascent
    Aug 15 2024
    Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to Podcast for the latest news in space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna. Today, we have an exciting lineup of stories to share with you. We'll dive into NASA's decision-making process on whether to extend astronauts' stay aboard the International Space Station amidst ongoing issues with the Boeing Starliner capsule. We'll also explore a groundbreaking new method developed by researchers to terraform Mars using engineered nanoparticles, a technique that could make the red planet more hospitable for future colonists. We'll also look at NASA's Perseverance rover as it embarks on a challenging new mission to climb the western rim of Jezero Crater in search of ancient life signs. Lastly, we'll shed light on a fascinating project by Honeybee Robotics to install massive streetlights on the moon, which could revolutionize future lunar exploration. Stay tuned as these stories promise to be out of this world.
    - **NASA's ISS Dilemma with Boeing Starliner**: NASA is currently in a critical decision phase, determining the fate of two astronauts stationed aboard the International Space Station.
    - **Terraforming Mars with Engineered Nanoparticles**: Researchers from the University of Chicago and Northwestern have unveiled a revolutionary approach to warming Mars, potentially making the red planet more conducive to life. Their method involves using engineered dust particles to increase Mars' temperature by over 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
    - **Perseverance Rover's New Mission**: Speaking of Mars, NASA's Perseverance rover is gearing up to tackle one of its toughest challenges yet—climbing the western rim of Jezero Crater. This ascent marks the start of its fifth science campaign since it touched down on the red planet in February 2021.
    - **Honeybee Robotics' Lunar Streetlights**: Finally, Honeybee Robotics has put forward a fascinating proposal to help illuminate the long, dark lunar nights with massive streetlights. This project, known as Lunar Saber, aims to construct 330-foot tall towers on the moon that will store solar energy and provide powerful floodlight illumination during the lunar nights, which last the equivalent of two Earth weeks.

  • S03E127: Planetary Forces and Solar Cycles, Triton Hopper Mission, and Redefining Planets

    S03E127: Planetary Forces and Solar Cycles, Triton Hopper Mission, and Redefining Planets
    Aug 14 2024
    Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your friendly and engaging source for all things space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna, here to guide you through the latest cosmic headlines. Whether you're a casual stargazer or an astrophysics enthusiast, we've got news that will spark your curiosity and keep you informed about the universe.
    - **Planetary Influences on the Sun's Magnetic Cycles**: Researchers at the Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden, Rossendorf, and the University of Latvia have unveiled a groundbreaking physical model supporting the planetary hypothesis. This model proposes that vortex-shaped currents on the sun, named Rossby waves, act as intermediaries between the gravitational influences of planets like Venus, Earth, and Jupiter, and the sun's magnetic activities. By revealing how Rossby waves mediate the planet's tidal forces, researchers can now predict and understand even longer-term solar cycles, offering new insights into the sun's behavior and its interactions with the rest of our solar system.
    - **Exploring Neptune's Moon Triton**: Steve Olson and Jeffrey Landis have proposed the Triton Hopper mission to explore Neptune's largest moon, Triton. The innovative mission aims to use a cryogenic pump to extract propellant directly from Triton's icy surface, enabling the hopper to cover significant distances by hopping across the moon. Loaded with scientific instruments, this mission could unlock a wealth of data about Triton's geology and potential for biological activity.
    - **Redefining What Makes a Planet**: The definition of what constitutes a planet is back up for debate. Researchers like Jean-Luc Margot of UCLA have proposed new criteria focusing on dynamical dominance and mass. This refined classification aims to provide clarity and consistency, aiding both the astronomical community and the public's understanding of what exactly constitutes a planet. The IAU is expected to discuss these proposals further at their next general assembly in Rome in 2027.
    - **Space Sustainability Collaboration**: Airbus Defense and Space and Astroscale Limited have partnered to advance in-orbit servicing and space debris removal. Their collaboration focuses on space debris removal, in-orbit servicing, precise navigation and docking technologies, in-orbit space assembly and manufacturing, and satellite refueling and life extension. This partnership aims to enhance the longevity and efficiency of space assets, contributing significantly to building a circular economy in space.
