SpaceTime with Stuart Gary S25E64, 65, & 66 Premium Edition | Strange neutron star discovered in stellar graveyard
SpaceTime Series 25 Episode 64*Strange neutron star discovered in stellar graveyardAstronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of neutron star. The star named PSR J0901-4046 should be in a category of non-rotating dead neutron stars assigned to a sort of stellar graveyard.*NASA to launch from Arnhem land this monthNASA has listed June 26th as the preferred launch window for the first of three sounding rocket flights to be conducted from Equatorial Launch Australia’s new Arnhem Space Centre in the Northern Territory’s Gove Peninsula near Nhulunbuy. The flights will be the first for NASA from a commercial launch facility outside of the United States, and the first time the agency’s launched rockets from Australia since 1995, when launches were conducted from the Woomera Rocket Range.*The world’s biggest rocket Artemis 1 back on the launch padNASA’s Artemis 1 SLS Moon rocket is back on the launch pad in Florida after a series of modifications in preparation for another attempt at a pre-launch wet dress rehearsal. It took about ten hours for the massive 98 metre tall rocket to travel the 6.8 kilometre slow crawl from the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Centre -- to the neighbouring Space Launch Complex 39B at the Cape Canaveral Space Force base aboard its crawler transporter.*The Science ReportThe world’s first exa-scale supercomputer.The world’s largest and oldest single plant.The expanding black hole optical illusion.Skeptic's guide to getting impregnated by aliensSpaceTime Series 25 Episode 65*New study says Earth’s magnetic poles aren’t about to flipA 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 stormsA 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 MoonWhen 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.*The Science ReportFurther increases in coral bleaching and the hottest sea temperatures on record.Eating more fish linked to a greater risk of malignant melanoma.Yet another reason to start the day by drinking a cup of coffee.Alex on Tech Apple’s glimpse of upcoming changes to iPhone software.SpaceTime Series 25 Episode 66*Mars probe MAVEN back in service following a major glitchNASA’s MAVEN spacecraft is finally back in operation after defaulting into an emergency safety mode in February. Mission managers eventually traced the problem to its Inertial Measurement Units which are responsible for navigation.*Unravelling the mystery of brown dwarfsAstronomers have discovered five brown dwarfs -- objects that fill the gap between the largest planets and the smallest stars. The five reported in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics will provide new clues about how these rare objects are formed and evolve.*Three new crew board China’s space stationThree Chinese taikonauts have arrived safely aboard Beijing’s new Tiangong space station for what will be a six month mission to complete construction of the orbiting outpost. The trio blasted off in their Shenzhou-14 capsule aboard a Long March-2F rocket from the Jiuquan satellite launch center in northwestern China's Gobi desert.*The Science ReportA rapid decline in Omicron-specific antibody levels only weeks after the second and third doses.A plant-based diet can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.Scientists develop a living human skin for robots.Skeptic's guide to life after deathListen to SpaceTime on your favorite podcast app with our universal listen link: https://spacetimewithstuartgary.com/listenFor more SpaceTime and show links: https://linktr.ee/biteszHQIf you love this podcast, please get someone else to listen to.
