Earth's Core Mystery, Moon's Origin Debate, and Charon's Icy Secrets

11 oktober 2024 | 29 min

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 123
*Discovery of a New Region within the Earth's Core
Scientists have uncovered a doughnut-shaped region within Earth's molten liquid outer core, located at low latitudes parallel to the equator. This torus-like zone was detected due to seismic waves travelling slower through this area compared to the rest of the liquid outer core. The discovery, published in Science Advances, suggests that this region could be several hundred kilometres thick and contains a high concentration of light chemical elements, which may be affecting the seismic wave speeds. The findings provide new insights into the Earth's magnetic field and its potential future changes.
*Fresh Questions about the True Origins of the Earth's Moon
A new hypothesis challenges the widely accepted giant impact theory of the Moon's formation. The study proposes that the Moon was captured during a close encounter between the young Earth and a separate terrestrial binary planetary system. This theory could explain the Moon's current orbital plane, more aligned with the sun's ecliptic than Earth's equator. The study opens the door to further exploration of the Moon's origins, especially considering its chemical similarities to Earth.
*New Study Reveals More Secrets about Pluto's Binary Partner, Charon
NASA's Webb Space Telescope has revealed that Charon, Pluto's binary partner, has significant reserves of carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on its surface. The carbon dioxide ice forms a thin veneer over a water ice-rich subsurface. The study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that the carbon dioxide was likely stored beneath the surface until exposed by impacts, while hydrogen peroxide results from radiation breaking apart water ice. These findings add to the understanding of Charon's chemical composition and its geological history.

24 juni 2024 | 30 min

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 76, where we delve into the latest groundbreaking discoveries in planetary science and astronomy.
First, scientists have uncovered evidence that fresh water existed on Earth about 4 billion years ago, pushing back the timeframe for the potential emergence of life by 500 million years. This discovery, based on zircon crystal analysis from the Jack Hills formation in Western Australia, challenges the long-held belief that Earth was entirely covered by oceans at that time. The study's findings suggest that fresh water and land masses existed much earlier, setting the stage for life to flourish.
Next, new research indicates that the rotation of Earth's inner core has slowed down compared to the planet's surface. This discovery, reported in the journal Nature, shows that the inner core began to decelerate around 2010, moving slower than the Earth's mantle and crust for the first time in decades. The implications of this change are still being explored, but it may ultimately affect the length of the day.
Finally, a new study suggests that Earth's encounter with dense interstellar clouds 2 million years ago may have significantly altered the planet's climate. The research, published in Nature Astronomy, posits that these clouds could have compressed the heliosphere, exposing Earth to increased levels of cosmic rays and altering its climatic conditions.

S27E73: Dark Matter Mysteries and Martian Lake Myths Debunked

17 juni 2024 | 34 min

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 73, where we delve into the latest cosmic discoveries and advancements shaping our understanding of the universe.
First, astronomers have developed a new theory of dark matter to explain the mysterious dwarf galaxy Crater 2. Despite its proximity at 383,000 light-years from Earth and its large size—making it the fourth largest satellite galaxy orbiting the Milky Way—Crater 2 has a surprisingly low surface brightness and velocity dispersion. This has led scientists to propose the self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) theory, which may better account for the galaxy's unusual properties.
Next, new research dismisses the idea of a lake under the Martian south polar ice cap. Instead, it suggests that the bright radar reflections previously interpreted as liquid water are likely due to resolution interference between radio waves. This finding, based on computer simulations, challenges the notion of subsurface liquid water on Mars.
Finally, we highlight the development of a new daytime optical telescope, the Huntsman, which allows astronomers to observe celestial objects even when the sun is high overhead. This groundbreaking instrument, located at Siding Spring Observatory, uses an array of camera lenses designed for ultra-sensitive night sky observations but can also accurately measure stars and satellites during daylight.

To achieve their objective, the Mars Ascent Vehicle will launch into space and reunite with the prepositioned Earth Return Orbiter. Before returning to Earth, the sample will be sealed in a special biocontainment system to ensure no contamination from unsterilized Martian material occurs. Once the Earth Entry capsule descends through a parachute, scientists can then begin studying the prized Martian samples. Increased understanding of the potential role of iron particles in the formation of organic compounds, leading to insights into the emergence of life. Research into the emergence of life on Earth never ceases to fascinate and intrigue both scientists and enthusiasts alike. The latest breakthrough in this field revolves around the potential role of iron particles in the formation of organic compounds, which paved the way for the appearance of life on Earth. . Fungal Threats and the Last of Us Zombie apocalypses may seem like a figment of fiction, but the science behind some fungi's ability to manipulate animal behavior is quite real. These fungi can pose significant threats to animals and have a profound impact on their behavior and actions, bringing into focus the idea of infectious, zombie-like control over them. In the SpaceTime podcast, host Stuart Gary and guest Tim Mendham explore the fascinating world of fungal threats to animals. Citing a study about a fungus called alpha cordisps unilateralis, they discussed its impact on ants: forcing them to climb up plants, drop down, and then spread more of the fungi. While it may not transform animals into actual zombies, the duo emphasized the potential risks some fungi pose and their consequences on affected species.

Welcome to this episode of SpaceTime, where we bring you some fascinating stories from the world of astronomy and space science. First up, astronomers have made an incredible discovery using an Artificial Intelligence program. They have found a supermassive black hole that is ripping apart a giant star in what is being called the brightest, most energetic, and longest-lasting stellar murder ever seen. This discovery has stunned the astronomy community, and we discuss the implications of this discovery. In our next story, we take a look at the weird asteroid Phaethon. A new study has claimed that the cometary tail generated by Phaethon is not dust, as previously thought, but rather sodium gas. We delve into the findings of this study and explore what it could mean for our understanding of this strange asteroid. Finally, we discuss the recent news of a dead NASA spacecraft crashing back to Earth. The spacecraft smashed into the ground in the northern African Sahara Desert, and we take a closer look at what happened and what we can learn from this incident. Plus The Science Report: Polar ice sheet melting records have toppled during the past decade. Scientists discover that a amphibian-killing fungus is more widespread than anyone had realized. A new self-repairing metallic coating for clothing and textiles. Alex on Tech: Apple win their court case Join us as we explore these fascinating stories and more in this episode of SpaceTime.

Earth’s Magnetic Poles Aren’t About To Flip

15 juni 2022 | 31 min

SpaceTime Series 25 Episode 65
*New study says Earth’s magnetic poles aren’t about to flip
A new study claims the South Atlantic Anomaly -- a mysterious region where the Earth’s geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly – does not mean the planet’s poles are about to flip polarity. The findings reported in the journal PNAS pieces together evidence stretching back 9,000 years and suggests that the current changes aren’t unique, and that a reversal may not be in the cards after all.
*Discovery that Mercury has magnetic storms
A new study has confirmed that Mercury the nearest planet to the Sun and the solar system’s smallest planet, has geomagnetic storms similar to those on Earth. The findings reported in the journal Nature Communications answers the question of whether other planets, including those outside our solar system, can have geomagnetic storms regardless of the size of their magnetosphere or whether they have an Earth-like ionosphere.
*Striving for the Moon
When the crew of Apollo 17 blasted off from the surface of the Moon in 1972 no one thought it would be over half a century before people returned. As political priorities changed on Earth -- the Moon was forgotten and a generation of scientific endeavour was moth balled.

About I Know What Scares You
Hosted by science writer Brian Dunning, mentalist Jonathan Pritchard, anthropologist and comedian Natalia Reagan, and science expert Dr. Kiki Sanford—“I Know What Scares You” asks guests and listeners to tap into their deepest fears. Special guests relay personal stories of real-life paranormal, inexplicable, or simply terrifying experiences that actually happened to them. The show’s team of expert hosts then attempt to find a rational solution to the mysterious incidents. Each week the program hosts put their various expertise together to collectively come up with an explanation that checks all the boxes and, hopefully, gives a guest a new perspective on their unexplainable experience.

Stream podcast episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly). *A huge dust storm on Mars bringing a halt to scientific research One of the thickest dust storms ever observed on Mars has been spreading over the face of the red planet – forcing NASA to suspend science operations of its Mars Opportunity rover. However, the swirling dust storm has opened a window for four other spacecraft to learn more about the event. *Cosmic dust grains older than the solar system Scientists have found what appear to be interplanetary dust particles which predate the birth of the solar system -- some 4.6 billion years ago. The discovery opens a new window in understanding the processes which led to the solar system’s formation. *Six more Milky Way galactic collisions revealed Astronomers have discovered evidence of a series of at least six galactic collisions involving the Milky Way. The intergalactic crashes were revealed in relics of the merger events in the Milky Way’s galactic halo. *Rocket rules face a major shake-up The Federal Government is introducing new legislation designed to make it easier to launch spacecraft from Australian soil. The new regulations -- are part of a major shake-up for Australia’s stagnant space industry which long ago lost the glory of its heyday during the 1960’s and early 70’s when Australia became only the fourth nation on Earth to build a satellite and have it launched into orbit from its own soil. *Crew change aboard the International Space Station. There’s been a busy change of crews aboard the International Space Station. Just days after the Expedition 54/55 crew members returned safely to Earth following their 168 day stay aboard the International Space station – the Expedition 56/57 crew blasted into space for their own six-month stay aboard the orbiting outpost.

Study confirms loneliness really is bad for the heart and a strong predictor of premature death. The real dining habits of salt water (estuarine) crocodiles. A new study looking at why we love fries with that.

46: Possible Solution to Dark Matter

14 juni 2018 | 32 min

*Discovery of a potential fourth type of neutrino – and possibly the solution to Dark Matter Dark matter -- one of the biggest questions in astronomy and physics may just have been solved -- in what could be the most important discovery since the accelerating expansion of the universe – finding the Higgs Boson -- and the detection of gravitational waves. Scientists may just have discovered a potential fourth type of neutrino – which could be the hypothetical sterile neutrino particle -- considered by many as the particle responsible for Dark Matter. *NASA finds ancient organic material and methane on Mars NASA's Curiosity rover has found organic molecules in 3-billion-year-old sedimentary rocks just below the Martian surface. While not evidence of life itself -- the new findings provide further circumstantial evidence supporting the hypothesis that the red planet could have supported life. *New Climate Change satellite launched SpaceX has successfully launched NASA’s latest twin GRACE satellites to study ongoing environmental changes as the impacts of global warming continue to worsen.

9 februari 2018 | 28 min

*New study challenges popular theory about dwarf galaxies Existing hypothesis about how dwarf galaxies are spread across the universe is being challenged following the discovery of a plane of dwarf galaxies orbiting around Centaurus A. The findings challenge the long-held idea there are thousands of dwarf galaxies in all directions around large galaxies -- like bees swarming around a hive.*A new theory to explain the discovery of matter in hostile black hole winds Scientists have developed a new hypothesis to try to explain the origins of molecules discovered in the destructive cosmic outflows produced by supermassive black holes. If correct it could explain how stars form in extreme environments. *Arianespace places satellites into wrong orbits Arianespace has set up an independent investigation commission chaired by ESA’s General Inspector after its first launch for the year placed two telecommunications satellites into the wrong orbits.

7 februari 2018 | 31 min

*New evidence that our galaxy is a cannibal Astronomers have discovered evidence confirming that the outer halo of the Milky Way contains stars stolen from neighbouring dwarf galaxies. The new findings support the idea of galactic cannibalism in which big galaxies grow bigger by merging or consuming smaller galaxies. *All systems go for Falcon heavy Space X is about to launch its largest and most powerful rocket ever -- the Falcon Heavy. The new 70 metre tall launch vehicle combines three Falcon 9 core stages mounted side by side. Instead of the usual dummy payload packed with scientific monitoring equipment – SpaceX boss Elon Musk is sending his own midnight cherry Tesla Roadster with David Bowie’s Space Oddity playing through the speakers. *Scientists discover how black holes regulate star formation in massive galaxies For year astronomers have noticed a direct relationship between the size of a galaxy and the mass of the supermassive black hole at its centre -- But the machinations of how it all worked has been more of a mystery. Now a new study has provided direct observational evidence that the mass of the central black hole affects the formation of new stars throughout the galaxy’s lifetime.*The Science Report The biological markers in blood plasma which could provide an early warning of Alzheimer’s disease.

You tube video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPcsZgmTRrg *Black hole burping Astronomers have caught a monster black hole in a distant galaxy snacking on gas and then "burping" — not once, but twice. The findings show two separate episodes of feeding frenzy by the supermassive black hole about 800 million light-years away. *The changing Sun Like the waistband of a couch potato in midlife, the orbits of planets in our solar system are expanding. It happens because the Sun’s gravitational grip gradually weakens as our star ages and loses mass. *Tiangong-1 crashing back to Earth Chinese space officials say their Tiangong 1 space station is still under control and will likely crash back to Earth in mid to late March. However, their inability to provide an exact schedule for the orbiter’s return continues to raise concerns about the likelihood of an imminent uncontrolled re-entry. *China launches new navigation satellites China has launched its latest pair of Beidou-3 navigation satellites into orbit.

6: Setting a size limit on neutron stars

24 januari 2018 | 31 min

*Setting a size limit on neutron stars A new study claims super dense stellar corpses known as neutron stars couldn’t get much bigger than twice the mass of the Sun. The findings solve a forty year old mystery that’s baffled scientists ever since neutron stars were first discovered. *New clues about the recipe for making stars Astronomers have shed fresh light on the importance of hydrogen atoms in the birth of new stars. Only hydrogen molecules are thought to directly fuel star formation. But new research shows there are more hydrogen atoms than molecules even in young galaxies that are making a lot of new stars. *Midwest Meteor The citizenry of the American mid-west have been treated to an unexpected celestial spectacular with the evening skies lit up by a bright meteor and sonic boom. People in the states of Ohio and Michigan and across the border in Ontario Canada witnessed the event around 8’0 clock local time. *No link between earthquakes and the full Moon A new study has provided more evidence to dispel an enduring myth that large earthquakes tend to happen during certain phases of the Moon or at certain times during the year. The findings confirm that this bit of earthquake lore is incorrect. *Titan has a sea level just like Earth A new study has confirmed that just like Earth – Saturn’s moon Titan has a sea level. The discovery adds to a growing list of similarities between Earth has this hostile alien world. *The Science Report 2017 confirmed as one of the three warmest years on record.
