S02E31: Galactic Milestones & Meteor Magic: August Highlights
Astronomy Daily - The Podcast
08/11/23 • 9 min
*Hosted by Tim Gibbs with AI Assistant, Haillie*
1. **Virgin Galactic's Historic Flight**: Virgin Galactic successfully launches its first tourist passengers into space. Among them, Anastasia Mayers becomes the youngest person ever to venture into space at 18. The spacecraft safely landed in New Mexico after a brief sojourn in space.
2. **China's Satellite Launch**: China's Long March-2C rocket successfully launches the Huanjing Jianzhai-2F (SSAR-02) satellite. This synthetic aperture radar satellite will aid in emergency management and environmental monitoring. It will work in tandem with SSAR01, launched in October 2022, to provide comprehensive coverage even in adverse weather conditions.
3. **Russia's Lunar Mission**: After nearly 50 years, Russia launches its Lunub-25 probe to the moon. This marks Moscow's first lunar mission since 1976. The probe aims to land on the lunar South Pole, a first in space exploration history. Expected landing date: August 21st.
4. **Perseid Meteor Shower 2023**: The much-anticipated Perseid meteor shower peaks this weekend. Best viewing time is around 4 o'clock EDT on Sunday, August 13. The meteor shower originates from the constellation Perseus and promises a spectacular show with up to 100 fireballs and light trails per hour at its peak.
5. **Tribute to Alexander Victorenko**: Renowned Russian cosmonaut Alexander Victorenko, known for his significant contributions to space exploration, including the first test of a space motorcycle, passes away at 76. A memorial service is scheduled for August 12th.

How Our Sun Will Die - The New Thinking
Astronomy Daily - The Podcast
11/16/22 • 16 min
On the program today we're going to look at how the Sun will die. Scientists have made some predictions.
The star Betelgeese, Betelgeist, Betelgeuse, whatever you want to call it, has dimmed by about 60% and they think they have a theory as to why. Up until now it's been a mystery.
We're also going to look at the rock structures on Earth because they hold within them the oldest signs of life.
And we're going to also look at the radiation signatures on trees, but they don't answer all the questions.
And that's a big mystery in itself. That's all coming up on this edition of Astronomy Daily. Astronomy Daily, the podcast. With your host, Andrew Dunkley.

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E183
Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your trusted source for the most exciting space and Astronomy news. I'm Anna, and today we've got a stellar lineup of stories that'll take you from the far reaches of the cosmos right back to our own celestial neighborhood.
Highlights:
- James Webb's Galactic Discovery: The James Webb Space Telescope unveils a galaxy, GSnDG 9422, that challenges our understanding of the early universe. This cosmic oddity, appearing a billion years after the Big Bang, features glowing gas outshining its stars, offering insights into galactic evolution.
- Europe's Lunar Navigation Ambitions: The European Space Agency's Moonlight program aims to establish a constellation of satellites providing communication and navigation services for over 400 planned lunar missions. This initiative supports commercial lunar markets and international cooperation.
- International Spaceport Collaboration: Eight spaceports from six countries have signed an agreement to share knowledge and develop global standards for launch facilities. This partnership enhances resilience, operational efficiency, and safety in the space industry.
- Hubble's Cosmic Volcano: The Hubble Space Telescope captures a stellar spectacle, a binary star system displaying explosive eruptions resembling a stellar volcano. This dynamic duo showcases the powerful forces at work in our universe.
- Richard Branson's Next Adventure: Richard Branson returns to his ballooning roots, co-piloting Space Perspective's stratospheric balloon flight. This leisurely six-hour journey offers breathtaking Earth views, marking a gentler approach to space tourism.
- ESA's Hera Mission Insights: The European Space Agency's Hera mission sends back stunning images of Earth and the moon. As it journeys to the Didymos and Dimorphos asteroid system, Hera aims to assess the aftermath of NASA's DART mission and study asteroid structures.

S03E83: NASA Sued Over Space Junk & Gamma Ray Burst Hunt
Astronomy Daily - The Podcast
06/24/24 • 17 min
Welcome to Astronomy AstroDailyPod! I'm your host, Steve Dunkley, bringing you the latest cosmic updates for 24 June 2024. Today, we delve into a star on the brink of explosion, a stranded spacecraft, and the ongoing search for Planet Nine. We'll also explore new satellite constellations aiding in firefighting, a joint Chinese-French satellite mission, and a family suing NASA over space debris. Plus, we look at racing drones testing spacecraft control systems. Let's dive in!- **NASA Sued Over Space Junk**: An American family is claiming over $80,000 from NASA after space debris crashed into their Florida home. The debris, part of a cargo pallet from the ISS, caused significant damage but fortunately no injuries. NASA's response could set a precedent for future claims.- **Chinese-French Satellite Mission**: A joint mission between China and France has launched the Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) to study gamma ray bursts, the universe's mightiest explosions. This collaboration aims to unravel mysteries of the cosmos and enhance our understanding of the universe's history.- **Boeing Starliner Delayed Again**: NASA has delayed the return of the Boeing Starliner from the ISS to review thruster malfunctions and helium leaks. The mission, initially set for June 26, will be rescheduled to ensure safety and thorough data analysis.- **Impending Nova Event**: The star T Coronae Borealis, part of a binary system, is set to undergo a nova event visible from Earth. This rare cosmic event offers a unique opportunity for both professional and amateur astronomers to observe and study.- **Racing Drones for Spacecraft Control**: Researchers at Delft University are using racing drones to test neural network-based AI control systems for future space missions. This innovative approach aims to enhance spacecraft autonomy and efficiency in unpredictable space environments.
