    Cosmic Mysteries of Fast Radio Bursts, Marsquakes Unveiled, and the Celestial Show of Comet Atlas: S28E12

    SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 12 Unveiling the Mysteries of Fast Radio Bursts and Mars' Geology In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the enigmatic origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs), those mysterious cosmic phenomena that release immense energy in mere nanoseconds. Recent findings challenge existing theories about their sources, suggesting that some FRBs may originate from regions in ancient, dead galaxies, raising profound questions about the nature of these bursts and their potential as cosmic probes. Is Mars Still Geologically Active? A new study based on data from NASA's InSight lander indicates that Mars may still be geologically active. By analyzing marsquakes, researchers have uncovered evidence suggesting that the southern hemisphere of the Red Planet has a thicker crust and higher elevation than the northern hemisphere, providing insights into its geological history and evolution over billions of years. Celestial Treat for Southern Hemisphere Sky Watchers Sky watchers in the Southern Hemisphere are in for a treat as Comet C/2024 G3 Atlas dazzles with its stunning display following a close encounter with the Sun.

    Ancient Martian Lakes, Quasar's Cosmic Illumination, and Prober 3's Daring Split: S28E11

    SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 11 Ancient Water on Mars and the Birth of the Universe's Lights Scientists have uncovered two sets of ancient wave ripples on Mars, revealing evidence of long-dried ponds and lakes that once existed on the Red Planet. Discovered by NASA's Curiosity rover, these ripples, formed approximately 3.7 billion years ago, indicate that shallow bodies of water were open to the Martian atmosphere, challenging previous climate models suggesting an ice-covered surface. This finding extends our understanding of the timeline for liquid water on Mars and its potential for microbial life. A Quasar's Role in Cosmic Illumination Astronomers have detected a highly variable quasar that may have played a crucial role in turning on the lights of the universe. This quasar, observed by the NuSTAR and Chandra X-ray space telescopes, is one of the most distant objects detected and provides new insights into the growth of supermassive black holes in the early universe. Its rapid brightness fluctuations offer vital clues about the epoch of reionization, a time when the universe transitioned from darkness to light. European Space Agency's Probe 3 Mission Milestone The European Space Agency's Probe 3 spacecraft has successfully split into two, marking a significant step in its ambitious mission. This unique formation-flying mission aims to create artificial solar eclipses to study the Sun's corona with unprecedented precision. The two spacecraft will maintain a separation of just 150 meters, demonstrating advanced navigation and propulsion technologies essential for future space exploration. 00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 11 for broadcast on 24 January 2025 00:49 Discovery of ancient wave ripples on Mars 06:15 Quasar may illuminate the early universe 12:30 European Space Agency's Probe 3 spacecraft successfully splits 18:00 Blood vessel fingerprint in the eye may indicate stroke risk 22:45 Early humans adapted to desert-like conditions 26:00 Global water cycle disruptions due to climate extremes 30:00 Reevaluation of the Paleo diet based on ancient human diets www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.

    Cosmic Radio Mysteries, Moon's Water Origins, and IO's Volcanic Heart: S28E08

    SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 08 Origins of Fast Radio Bursts Unveiled Astronomers have pinpointed the source of fast radio bursts, specifically linking them to magnetars, a type of highly magnetic neutron star. This breakthrough, reported in Nature, was achieved by analysing the scintillation of FRB2022 1022A, indicating its proximity to a magnetar within 10,000 kilometres. This discovery sheds light on the mysterious phenomenon, suggesting that all fast radio bursts might originate from similarly extreme environments. Lunar Water's Terrestrial Origins A groundbreaking study reveals that much of the Moon's water may have originated from early Earth. By examining Apollo-era lunar samples with a high precision triple oxygen isotope technique, scientists discovered a dual heritage of lunar water, tracing back to both proto-Earth and cometary impacts. This finding offers new insights into the Earth-Moon system's formation 4.5 billion years ago. Juno's Insights into IO's Volcanism NASA's Juno mission has uncovered that Jupiter's moon IO's volcanoes are powered by individual magma chambers rather than a global magma ocean. This revelation, stemming from Juno's close flybys and gravitational measurements, highlights the unique geological dynamics of the solar system's most volcanically active body. The findings provide a deeper understanding of tidal flexing and its effects on celestial bodies. 00:00 Astronomers have finally narrowed down the source of those mysterious fast radio bursts 08:01 New study shows much of moon's water originates on early proto Earth 10:32 Scientists with NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter have discovered volcanoes on IO 16:33 There now seems to be more carbon stored in human made stuff than natural world 18:41 Study shows each of the Disney princesses could have exposed themselves to illnesses 19:40 Alaska Triangle has highest recorded numbers of paranormal incidents in the world www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.

    Dark Matter Dynamics, Solar Flare Trio, and Meteor Shower Wonders: S28E07

    SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 07 Dark Matter's Role in Milky Way's Stellar Streams New research suggests that dark matter may have influenced the formation of the GD-1 stellar stream in the Milky Way. A study in the Astrophysical Journal Letters proposes that a core-collapsing, self-interacting dark matter subhalo could explain the unusual spur and gap features observed in the stream. This finding could deepen our understanding of dark matter's properties and its influence on the universe. Sun's Triple Solar Flare Eruption The Sun has unleashed three significant X-class solar flares in a single day, with the first and third being X1.1 flares and the second an X1.5. These powerful eruptions, detected by NOAA's Solar Ultraviolet Imager, are part of the Sun's approach to solar maximum, the peak of its 11-year solar cycle. Solar flares can disrupt Earth's communications, power grids, and pose health risks to astronauts. Quadrantids Meteor Shower Spectacle The Earth is experiencing the Quadrantids meteor shower, offering a dazzling display of shooting stars. Originating from the near-Earth asteroid 2003 EH1, the Quadrantids are best viewed from dark locations, with peak sightings expected in the Pacific region. Sky watchers can anticipate around 50 meteors per hour, with potential fireballs enhancing the spectacle. 00:00 This is space time series 28 episode 7 for broadcast on 15 January 2025 00:46 New research proposes a self interacting dark matter subhalo could explain GD1 features 04:24 The sun unleashed three significant X class solar flares on the same day 07:19 Earth is experiencing one of its most spectacular meteor showers, the Quadrantids 14:31 A quarter of the world's freshwater animals are at risk of extinction 16:43 Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg admits that his fact checkers are dishonest 20:28 CES has wrapped up in Las Vegas with lots of interesting gadgets www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.
