The star, catalogued as M31 2014 DS1, was seen glowing brightly in infrared light before fading away, leaving behind a dust shell. This event, which had been anticipated for decades, suggests that massive stars may collapse directly into black holes, challenging long-held assumptions about stellar deaths. The findings, published in the journal Science, provide new insights into the processes that govern black hole formation and indicate that such direct collapses may be more common than previously thought.NASA's New Martian Navigation SystemNASA has introduced an innovative navigation system for its Perseverance rover, allowing it to determine its location on Mars with remarkable precision—within 25 centimeters. The new technology, called Mars Global Localization, enables the rover to autonomously compare panoramic images with orbital terrain maps, eliminating the need for Earth-based assistance. This advancement significantly enhances the rover's ability to explore the Martian surface independently, paving the way for more extensive scientific investigations.SpaceX Crew 12 Arrives at the ISSNASA's SpaceX Crew 12 has successfully docked with the International Space Station, restoring the crew complement to seven members. The mission includes a diverse crew of two Americans, a Russian, and a French astronaut, who will conduct approximately 250 scientific experiments in orbit. Additionally, NASA has approved a sixth private mission to the ISS, slated for next year, which aims to support new research initiatives and infrastructure development for future human spaceflight missions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal Science, NASA ReportsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.

The Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is encircled by dozens of satellites – smaller galaxies in orbit around it. One of the larger satellites is something of an oddball. Of the three-dozen brightest, it’s the only one that lines up on the far side of Andromeda as seen from our home galaxy, the Milky Way. M31 is the closest giant galaxy to the Milky Way – just two-and-a-half million light-years away. Messier 110 is a couple of hundred thousand light-years farther. It’s a few thousand light-years in diameter, and contains about 10 billion stars – a tiny fraction the size of Andromeda. Astronomers have spent years watching M31’s entourage with Hubble Space Telescope. They recently reported that 36 of the 37 brightest members line up on the side of M31 that faces the Milky Way. And that’s hard to explain. The study said there’s only a tiny chance that the alignment is a coincidence – there must be a reason for it. But no one knows what that reason might be. It’s not a result of the Milky Way’s gravitational pull – it’s not strong enough. So there’s no obvious explanation for why M110 is an oddball – lurking on the far side of M31. M31 is low in the northeast at nightfall. Under dark skies, it looks like a hazy slash of light about as wide as the Moon. Through a small telescope, M110 looks like a bright star close by. Script by Damond Benningfield

The closest giant galaxy to the Milky Way is Messier 31, the Andromeda Galaxy. It’s two-and-a-half million light-years away. But it’s getting closer – by about 250,000 miles every hour. For more than a decade, in fact, it’s looked like the two galaxies were on a collision course. But a recent study says there’s only a 50-50 chance of a collision and merger. And if it does happen, it’ll take place billions of years later than previous estimates. The new study used years of observations by two space telescopes – Hubble and Gaia. Researchers plugged those observations into simulations that also considered the gravitational effects of two smaller galaxies. The results indicated that one of them tends to push Andromeda and the Milky Way together, while the other tends to pull them apart. The researchers ran a hundred thousand simulations. In half of them, Andromeda and the Milky Way flew past each other and went their own ways. In the other half, they eventually spiraled together and merged – but not for at least 10 billion years – twice as long as earlier estimates. The simulations aren’t the final word – there are just too many uncertainties. But for now, it seems likely that the two giants will stay apart for a long, long time. M31 is in the northeast at nightfall. Under dark skies, it’s visible as a hazy patch of light. Binoculars make it easier to pick out. Script by Damond Benningfield

Messier 31, the Andromeda Galaxy, is the largest and most-distant object that’s easily visible to the unaided eye. Under dark skies, it looks like a skinny cloud about as wide as the Moon. Right now, it’s about a third of the way up in the northeast at nightfall. M31 is two-and-a-half million light-years away. In other words, the light you see from the galaxy tonight began its journey across the cosmos two-and-a-half million years ago. The galaxy is roughly 150,000 light-years across – bigger than the Milky Way – and may contain a trillion stars. It’s also the hub of its own galactic empire – it’s orbited by more than three dozen smaller galaxies. And a recent study revealed many new details about the satellites. Astronomers spent years looking at them with Hubble Space Telescope. And they supplemented the new observations by going through older ones. They found that most of the stars in the smaller galaxies had been born by about 12 billion years ago – when the universe was about one-tenth of its present age. And star formation had all but stopped by about eight billion years ago. Galaxies that are bigger and farther from M31 gave birth to stars a little longer than those that are small and close. One of the bigger satellites might have rammed through M31 a few million years ago. That stirred things up throughout the empire surrounding big, beautiful M31. More about M31 tomorrow.

Entre las estrellas de Andrómeda, no muy lejos de la gran galaxia M31, se esconde un objeto mucho más modesto en tamaño pero con cierto atractivo: NGC 7662, la nebulosa Bola de Nieve Azul. A primera vista puede confundirse con una estrella, pero al telescopio revela un pequeño disco brillante, compacto, con un tinte azulado que en algunos observadores aparece con claridad y en otros apenas se insinúa. Ese carácter engañoso fue lo que inspiró a William Herschel a acuñar el término nebulosa planetaria. En este episodio repasamos qué es NGC 7662, cómo se descubrió y qué nos cuenta sobre el destino de estrellas como el Sol. También compartimos experiencias de observación con telescopios de distintos tamaños: desde prismáticos hasta grandes aperturas que revelan anillos, halos y detalles internos sorprendentes. Un objeto pequeño, sí, pero capaz de transformar la experiencia de la astronomía visual en una lección de paciencia y detalle. Enlaces y formas de contacto: https://linktr.ee/luces_x

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org Today's 2 topics: - NASA classifies 2023 SZ1 as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid since it is larger than 140m in diameter and on its current path can come to about 6 times the Moon's distance from us.Fortunately on its current path 2023 SZ1 will not come any closer than 42 times the Moon's distance from us until after 2171. - Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner, and Yann Sainty's image of our neighboring galaxy, M31, in Andromeda won the 10,000 British pound Astronomer Photographer of the year award for 2023. Amazingly their image revealed a huge, previously unknown arc of hot doubly ionized Oxygen gas.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Andromeda is best known for the Andromeda Galaxy, M31. But that’s not the constellation’s only good “deep-sky” object. One of them is inside our own galaxy: a dying star known as the Blue Snowball Nebula. Even though it’s much closer than the Andromeda Galaxy, the Snowball is still a good jaunt from Earth – about 5500 light-years. It’s a bubble of gas and dust expelled by a star at the end of its life. The star’s nuclear reactor – its hot core – is switching off. Radiation from the core is blowing away the star’s outer layers. That bubble spans close to a light-year, and it’s expanding at about 60,000 miles per hour. The gas is “energized” by ultraviolet light from the core, causing it to glow. Seen through a telescope, it looks like a blue snowball. With the outer layers barreling away from it, the core is exposed to view. It’s tiny – only about 10 percent the diameter of the Sun. But it’s much, much hotter than the surface of the Sun, so it shines thousands of times brighter. Before long, though, the core’s nuclear fire will be extinguished. The core will continue to shine, but at a tiny fraction of the Sun’s brilliance. With no energy source to light it up, the blue snowball will melt away. Andromeda is low in the east and northeast as night falls. The nebula is at the right edge of the constellation, not far to the left of the Great Square of Pegasus. Tomorrow: a faint eclipse.
