The Mars InSight lander has been silent for two and a half years. Yet the craft is still teaching us about the Red Planet. In particular, it’s revealing more about what killed it: dust and the fickle Martian winds. InSight landed in late 2018 and operated for four years. It listened for marsquakes, and monitored the weather. It even recorded the soft sigh of the winds. The wind lofts the dust that coats much of Mars high into the sky. The dust then settles back to the surface. That “settling” was a problem for InSight. The lander was powered by the Sun. But as dust fell on its solar panels, they generated less and less energy. Scientists hoped the wind would clear the dust away, but it didn’t. So by late 2022, with its solar panels coated with dust, InSight fell silent. Scientists still keep an eye on the craft through images from a Mars orbiter. The pictures show that dust has completely covered the solar panels, giving them the same reddish orange appearance as the surrounding landscape. And the area cleared away by the lander’s rocket blast has filled in with dust as well. That tells scientists more about the planet’s winds and dust – the “killers” of Mars InSight. Mars stands close to the lower right of the Moon at nightfall. Its dust gives the planet an orange tint. Pollux and Castor – the twins of Gemini – line up farther to the right of the Moon.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 19The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastNew Insights into Earth's Water, Asteroid Bennu's Composition, and Marsquake TriggersIn this episode of SpaceTime, we investigate a groundbreaking study that challenges previous beliefs about when water arrived on Earth. New findings suggest that water may have come in during the later stages of Earth's formation, providing fresh perspectives on the origins of life on our planet. The study highlights the importance of molybdenum isotopes in understanding the timing of water delivery and the conditions necessary for life.Searles Lake and Asteroid BennuWe also explore the intriguing similarities between Searles Lake in California and the asteroid Bennu, as researchers find that both environments share common water-soluble minerals. The Osiris Rex mission has revealed that Bennu's samples contain evaporite minerals formed under wet conditions, shedding light on the potential for life-sustaining elements in our solar system's past.Meteoroid Impacts and MarsquakesAdditionally, a new study indicates that meteoroid impacts may play a more significant role in triggering marsquakes than previously considered. Analyses from NASA's Mars InSight lander reveal that many seismic events on Mars could be linked to impacts, challenging existing assumptions about the planet's seismic activity.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 19 for broadcast on 12 February 202500:49 Water arrival on Earth06:30 Searles Lake and asteroid Bennu12:15 Meteoroid impacts and Marsquakes18:00 Changes in men's height and weight22:45 Discovery of ancient bird fossils in Antarctica27:00 The best way to boil an egg30:15 AI and national security concernswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

One of the greatest questions of our time is: “Are we alone?” Are there other lifeforms out there, and if so, will we ever meet them? Or are we truly alone, hurtling through space on this rock that holds the only life in the universe? A study released Monday using data from NASA's Mars InSight lander shows evidence of liquid water far below the surface of the fourth planet. There is always that faint possibility that the scientists at NASA have found more than they will let on — and now it appears that space projects have somehow stalled. Could there be something else in the cosmos going on that the world's governments are hiding from us? Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with Richard C. Hoagland about ON EARTH – AS IT IS.Originally Broadcast On 8/30/24

Liquid water has been found on Mars, but not where we'd want it. It's 10-20kms underground, at least at the place where the Mars Insight lander was testing. Interesting though, and baby steps in terms of any colonisation programme.

New research shows that the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs some 66 million years ago formed in the colder, more distant reaches of the solar system. The Astroquarks have taken it upon themselves to dub this asteroid Barney. We'll update you on that new research and a surprising discovery from Mars Insight data that suggests Mars has a potentially huge amount of delicious H2O not to far beneath its surface. It's just a bit dirty, is all. And we have lots of space news, stumpers, and more. Join us, won't you?  

Welcome to another exciting episode of Astronomy Daily with your host, Anna. In today's episode, we've got a stellar lineup of fascinating space news straight from the cosmos. From a historic lunar flyby by the European Space Agency's JUICE mission to unexpected discoveries about Mars, courtesy of NASA's InSight lander. We've got it all. We'll also dive into the groundbreaking Polaris Dawn mission, which promises to feature the first-ever commercial spacewalk. And if that weren't enough, we'll wrap things up with a fun twist: zero gravity snacks from Doritos that are making their way into space. Buckle up, because this journey through the universe is going to be out of this world.- **ESA's JUICE Mission: A Historic Lunar Flyby**: The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) is performing an unprecedented double gravity assist maneuver by swinging by both the Moon and Earth. This historic event aims to slingshot JUICE toward its ultimate destination, Jupiter and its intriguing moons Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. The Moon's gravity served as a break, enabling JUICE to slow down in its trajectory relative to the Sun, effectively saving the spacecraft about six months of travel time. Photographs from the lunar encounter were taken using JUICE's onboard monitoring cameras, capturing remarkable images shared in real-time with the public via a live webcast. - **Unexpected Discoveries on Mars**: NASA's Mars InSight lander, though no longer active, continues to provide invaluable data. A new study revealed that Mars gets bombarded by space rocks far more frequently than previously estimated. This insight comes from a combination of seismic data and orbital imagery, suggesting a pressing need to update our current models of Martian geological activity and surface evolution. Notably, two of the newly discovered craters are the largest ever detected on Mars, each roughly the size of a football field. This finding has far-reaching implications for our understanding of planetary surfaces across the solar system.- **Polaris Dawn Mission: The First Commercial Spacewalk**: The Polaris Dawn mission team, led by billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, is ready to embark on a groundbreaking journey. This mission raises the stakes in commercial space exploration by aiming to perform the first-ever commercial spacewalk. The crew, including retired US Air Force pilot Scott "Kidd" Poteet and SpaceX engineers Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis, will attempt to break Earth orbit altitude records and conduct approximately 40 experiments. Additionally, the mission aims to pioneer high-speed internet access in space using Starlink connectivity.- **Zero Gravity Snacks: Doritos in Space**: Doritos is launching a new limited edition flavor called Cool Ranch Zero Gravity, designed specifically for space travel. These specially formulated chips feature an oil-based coating to prevent crumbs from floating in microgravity environments. The Polaris Dawn mission will see its crew become the first people to eat Doritos in space. Doritos has partnered with the Polaris Dawn crew to raise awareness and funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, contributing a $500,000 donation and offering fans the chance to win mission-themed memorabilia.For more Astronomy Daily, including our continually updating newsfeed, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Data from the Mars InSight lander points to the presence of liquid water underneath its crust. Also, some national and state parks are changing the way they open up campsite reservations online to make them more accessible to everyone.Scientists Find Strong Evidence For Liquid Water On MarsScientists discovered that there could be oceans' worth of liquid water hidden underneath Mars' surface. More than 3 billion years ago, Mars had lakes, rivers, and maybe even oceans on its surface. It was very different from the arid red planet we know today.But the question remains—when Mars' atmosphere changed, where did all that water go? This discovery could offer up new clues and possibly spur on the search for life on Mars.Ira talks with Maggie Koerth, science writer and editorial lead for Carbon Plan, about this discovery and other science news of the week, including why the WHO declared mpox a global health emergency, the microbiome of your microwave, a green-boned dinosaur named Gnatalie, and how love is in the air for brown tarantulas.Releasing Campsite Reservations In Waves Makes Booking FairerBack in 2022, Science Friday discussed how campsites in state and national parks were virtually impossible to reserve, unless you had a lot of time on your hands and knew exactly when those reservations were going online. Research had shown that the people able to reserve these sites were often wealthy, educated, and white, leaving lots of other people out of the fun of camping.But two years later, the same team that found those results says there's good news: Many state and federal campgrounds have changed how their booking windows work, and as a result, camping has become more equitable.For example, Saddlehorn Campground near Grand Junction, Colorado, was identified as a campground with an inequitable reservation system in a 2022 study. After its publication, campground managers reached out to the study authors to see how they could do better.“They've created what I would call the gold standard in an equitable recreation rationing spectrum for these campsites,” said Dr. Will Rice, assistant professor of outdoor recreation and wildland management at the University of Montana in Missoula.This method is to release campsites in waves: Some become available six months in advance, some two weeks in advance, and some day-of. This allows more flexibility for people to book, and is an easy fix on the part of the campgrounds.Rice joins Ira Flatow to talk about these advancements. Since his first appearance on Science Friday, Rice has testified before Congress about the importance of camping reservation equity, and has helped both federal and state campgrounds change their booking reservation windows.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Nick Mazzioti a NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates fellow at the Maria Mitchell Association, discusses the recent findings from NASA's Mars InSight lander that suggest there may be an ocean's worth of water hidden inside rocks beneath the surface of Mars. 

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to source for the latest in space and astronomy news. Today, we've got an exciting lineup of stories that will take you on a journey through some of the most intriguing recent updates in the cosmos. From SpaceX's remarkable new mission to hidden reservoirs of liquid water on Mars and a flurry of rocket launches, we've got it all covered for you. Plus, we'll delve into fascinating findings from the Gaia Space Telescope. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into today's stellar stories.- **SpaceX's Groundbreaking Polar Mission**: SpaceX has announced a privately financed mission that will send a diverse international crew of four around Earth's poles. This historic flight will feature a blockchain entrepreneur, a cinematographer, a polar adventurer, and a robotics researcher. Leading the team is Chun Wang, a well-known blockchain pioneer. The mission, named Fram II, will last between three to five Daily and aims to observe the ice caps and extreme polar environments from space for the first time. The Crew Dragon capsule will orbit Earth at altitudes between 265 and 280 miles, offering a unique vantage point for the crew.- **Hidden Water Reservoirs on Mars**: Recent studies using data from NASA's Mars InSight lander have indicated the presence of liquid water deep beneath the Martian surface. These findings suggest that Mars's subsurface could hold vast reservoirs of water, potentially even more extensive than previously thought. This discovery is monumental as water is a key ingredient for life. Researchers believe that microbial life could exist in these underground reservoirs, similar to Earth.- **Rocket Launch Roundup**: This week is packed with activity, featuring four major rocket launches. A Russian Soyuz rocket will make another resupply mission to the International Space Station, carrying approximately 2400 kg of vital supplies. The Indian Space Research Organization will achieve a significant milestone with the final certification flight of its new Small Satellite Launch Vehicle. SpaceX will also have a busy week with two Falcon 9 launches, including the WorldView Legion 3 and 4 mission and the Transporter-11 rideshare mission, carrying around 50 small payloads from various countries.- **Gaia Space Telescope's Discoveries**: The Gaia Space Telescope has identified more than 350 potential moons around asteroids, offering new insights into the dynamics of binary asteroid systems. This detection was achieved by observing the gravitational wobble in the light signals captured by Gaia. Lead author Luana Liberato and her team at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur in France spearheaded this innovative study. This discovery suggests that a significant fraction of asteroids in our solar system could have moons, reshaping our understanding of these celestial bodies.For more Astronomy Daily, including our continually updating newsfeed, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 82, where we explore the latest cosmic events and groundbreaking discoveries in space exploration.First, a space debris emergency aboard the International Space Station. The crew was ordered to take shelter after ground-based radar detected a large cloud of debris from a disused Russian satellite. The debris was tracked by the new Western Australian space radar station operated by LeoLabs, highlighting the growing problem of space junk and its impact on the ISS.Next, a new study reveals that Mars is hit by meteors on a daily basis. Using seismic data from NASA's Mars InSight lander, scientists have determined that between 280 and 360 meteors strike the Red Planet each year, forming impact craters greater than eight meters across. This discovery offers new insights into Martian impact rates and the planet's geological history.Finally, claims of alien technology discovered on the seafloor near Australia have been dismissed. Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb's controversial expedition retrieved tiny iron spheres, but further analysis showed no evidence of interstellar origin. The scientific community remains skeptical, emphasizing the need for extraordinary evidence to support extraordinary claims.Follow our cosmic conversations on X @stuartgary, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

FDA Expands Pharmacy Options for Abortion Pills This week, the FDA finalized rules that would allow more retail pharmacies to stock and fill prescriptions for the abortion drug mifepristone. Previously, the medication had been available only via certain specialty pharmacies or via mail order. Now, major retail pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreens can apply for permission to fill prescriptions for the medications, which now account for about half of all abortions performed in the United States. The immediate effects of the rule change are not entirely clear, however—a patchwork of state and local laws govern the availability of these medications, and may prevent their availability in some areas. Around half of the states have some restriction on abortion pills. Katherine Wu, science writer at The Atlantic, joins Ira to unpack the rule change and other stories from the week in science, including news of a new surging COVID variant called XBB.1.5, the injury to NFL player Damar Hamlin, a stray snowy owl visiting southern California, a likely farewell to the Mars InSight lander, and a study looking at how an island rat population can affect offshore coral reefs.   Meet The Comedians Bringing A Sense Of Humor To Science A scientist and a comedian walk into a bar—for an interview about the craft of science comedy. Ira talks to comedians Chuck Nice, Kasha Patel, and Kyle Marian Viterbo about their work bringing the joke format to science communication. While all three have different approaches to science—whether it's sneaking the knowledge into “regular” jokes, or going straight for the factual jugular—they agree that the practice of stand-up has much in common with the scientific process. “We normally start with an observation or a question,” says Nice. “The experimentation is the joke itself, seeing whether or not it will get a laugh… you have to tell it in front of an audience. And after that you go, ‘Wow, that sucked. I can't believe that wasn't funny.'” Plus, why comedy can itself be a science, and what good comedy has in common with good (science) communication. “It's a long term skillset in playing with, and communicating, and connecting with your audience,” says Viterbo. “To be able to really listen to our audience, which these days we need more of.”

Even as several Mars missions continue to drive across the planet or probe it from orbit, another mission is signing off. Without a good sweeping by a dust devil, it'll become a victim of dust — a fine orange powder that coats everything. InSight arrived in November 2018. It's not a rover, so it's stayed in the same spot, in a plain called Elysium Planitia. The craft has two major instruments. One is a seismometer. It's recorded more than 1300 marsquakes. It heard the strongest on May 4th, at fifth magnitude. The quakes have helped scientists map the layers inside Mars. The crust is thinner than expected, while the core is bigger. The core is still molten, which means its iron must be mixed with other elements that melt at lower temperatures. The other instrument was supposed to drill below the surface to measure the planet's internal heat. It couldn't penetrate the dirt, though, so it was abandoned. InSight is powered by solar panels. Over the years, dust has collected on top of them. Engineers cleared some of it off, but not all. By May, the coating had reduced the craft's power levels by 90 percent. So its instruments — including a weather station — are shutting down. Without a helping wind to clean it off, InSight should go silent later this year. Look for Mars rising near the Moon after midnight. They're high in the sky at first light. Mars looks like a bright orange star — colored by the dust that's doomed Mars Insight.

What we learned from a seismometer on Mars, why it's so difficult to understand the relationship between our microbes and our brains, and the first in our series of books on the science of food and agriculture First up this week, freelance space journalist Jonathan O'Callaghan  joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the retirement of NASA's Mars InSight lander. After almost 4 years of measuring quakes on the surface of the Red Planet, the  lander's solar panels are getting too dusty to continue providing power. O'Callaghan  and Crespi look back at the insights  that InSight has given us about Mars's interior, and they talk about where else in the Solar System it might make sense to place a seismometer. Also this week, we have a special issue on the body's microbiome beyond the gut. As part of the special issue, John Cryan, principal investigator at APC Microbiome Ireland, University College Cork, wrote a commentary piece  on tightening the connections research has made between microbes and the brain—the steps needed to go from seeing connections to understanding how the microbiome might be tweaked to change what's happening in the brain. Finally this week, we have the first installment of our series of author interviews  on the science of food and agriculture. In this inaugural segment, host and science journalist Angela Saini talks to Ousmane Badiane, an expert on agricultural policy and development in Africa, and a co-author of Food For All In Africa: Sustainable Intensification for African Farmers, a 2019 book looking at the possibilities and reality of sustainable intensive farming in Africa. This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.
