NASA recently spotted something strange on Mars—a nearly perfect square-shaped formation on the planet's surface! At first glance, it looks like something artificial, sparking wild theories about aliens and ancient civilizations. But scientists believe it's actually a natural geological formation, likely caused by cracks, erosion, or volcanic activity. Nature sometimes creates surprisingly geometric shapes, just like hexagonal basalt columns on Earth. While it's not proof of Martian life, it's still an exciting discovery that makes us wonder what else is hiding on the Red Planet. Who knows? Maybe one day, we'll find something even more mysterious!

They talk about the James Webb Space Telescope capturing a direct photo of an exoplanet that is possibly the oldest and coldest one discovered so far. They also discuss the Perseverance Rover's discovery of leopard spots on rocks on Mars, which could potentially indicate signs of past microbial life. Additionally, they mention the shrinking of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and the challenges of bringing back rocks from Mars for further analysis. In this conversation, Fred and Andrew discuss the life and work of Tycho Brahe, a renowned astronomer from the 16th century. They explore his upbringing, his discovery of astronomy, and his contributions to the field. They also touch on his interest in alchemy and the fate of his castle. The conversation then shifts to the Europa Clipper mission, which aims to study Jupiter's moon Europa and search for signs of life. They discuss the mission's objectives and the instruments it will use. Finally, they address the question of why proto-planets do not become stars themselves and the gradual loss of Mars' primordial atmosphere.For more Space Nuts visit our website at www.spacenuts.iowww.bitesz.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts--2631155/support.

NASA's Perseverance Rover has found a fascinating rock on Mars that may indicate it hosted microbial life billions of years ago. Abigail Allwood, exobiologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, is on the team scrutinising the new Martian data. And a couple of newly discovered, approximately 500 year old fossils from the ‘Cambrian explosion' of complexity caught presenter Roland Pease's eye this week. First Martin Smith from Durham University tells us about a tiny grub that's ancestor to worms, insects, spiders and crustaceans. Then Ma Xiaoya, who has positions at both Yunnan University in China and Exeter University in the UK, tells us about a spiny slug that was also discovered in a famous fossil site in China. And the first sightings of the landscapes on the underside of the ice shelves that fringe Antarctica. These float atop the ocean around the frozen continent but effectively hold back the glaciers and ice sheets on the vast landmass. Their physical condition therefore is pretty critical in this warming world, Anna Wohlin of Gothenburg University tells us.

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your Daily dose of all things space and beyond. I'm your host, Anna, and today we've got some exciting updates lined up for you from SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket getting the green light to return to space to NASA astronauts stuck at the International Space Station longer than expected, there's a lot to cover. We'll also delve into an intriguing discovery made by NASA's Perseverance rover and an unprecedented finding by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. So grab your telescopes and let's get started.- SpaceX's Falcon 9 Cleared for Return: SpaceX's Falcon 9, the world's most used rocket, has been officially cleared to return to space following a rare and surprising mid-flight failure earlier this month. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given its approval after ensuring that there were no public safety issues stemming from the anomaly that occurred during the failed launch on July 11. SpaceX has identified the cause of the failure, a liquid oxygen leak that led to excessive cooling and subsequently damaged hardware. This return to flight operations couldn't come at a better time, as SpaceX is set to launch its Crew Dragon astronaut capsule on a Falcon 9 rocket for NASA's next mission to the International Space Station as early as August.- - Extended Stay for NASA Astronauts: NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams find themselves in an extended stay at the International Space Station thanks to some technical hiccups with Boeing's Starliner capsule. Originally scheduled to return in mid-June, the astronauts have been delayed while engineers work through a series of issues, including thruster failures and helium leaks. Despite earlier setbacks and a history of issues, including a failed uncrewed test in 2019 and more problems in 2022, NASA and Boeing are pressing forward in their collaborative effort to ensure safe and reliable missions.- - Perseverance Rover's Organic Molecule Discovery: NASA's Perseverance rover has made an exciting new discovery on Mars—organic molecules in a rock. This isn't definitive proof of life on Mars, but it's certainly the most compelling evidence found so far. Perseverance drilled into a reddish rock named Cheava Falls, the first piece of Mars it has examined that contains these organic molecules. The presence of iron phosphate molecules in the rims could hint at biological activity, although non-biological processes could also be at play. The best way to confirm the origin of these organic molecules would be to bring the sample back to Earth for more detailed analysis.- - Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope's Groundbreaking Discovery: NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has made a groundbreaking discovery in the cosmos. Last October, a gamma-ray burst now famously dubbed the "BOAT" (Brightest of All Time) astounded astronomers with its unprecedented brightness. A few minutes after the BOAT's initial eruption, Fermi detected an unusual energy peak, marking the first high-confidence emission line ever observed in the 50-year history of studying gamma-ray bursts. This feature suggests unique interactions went on, potentially revealing the chemical elements involved or even specific particle processes like matter and antimatter annihilation.- Don't forget to visit our website at astronomydaily.io to sign up for our free Daily newsletter, catch up on all the latest space and astronomy news, and listen to our previous episodes.

This week we've invited JPL's Chief Engineer Emeritus, Rob Manning, back to discuss Mars exploration and, in particular, Mars Sample Return. As we discussed in episode 107, that project is in a bit of trouble. Rob was the Chief Engineer of every Mars rover up through Perseverance and the overall Chief Engineer on Perseverance, and he has some unique insights on how we have explored Mars, why it matters, and what the future holds... especially with regard to returning samples to Earth. Join us! Headlines: NASA held a press conference to explain the latest delays with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which stem from issues with a helium leak and concerns about the reaction control thrusters that could lead to a loss of redundancy during reentry The European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope returned its first science images, providing stunning new views of galaxies never seen in such detail before to help unlock the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy Main Topic - Mars Exploration and Sample Return: Rob Manning recounts his extensive experience with Mars exploration at JPL, from the Sojourner rover and Pathfinder lander in the 90s to the currently operating Curiosity and Perseverance rovers Curiosity confirmed the past presence of water on Mars, while Perseverance is collecting carefully selected rock samples to eventually be returned to Earth The Mars Sample Return mission would bring pristine samples back to Earth for in-depth study, but is an extremely complex and costly endeavor facing budget challenges and potential delays Rob explains why returning samples is so critical - context is key and current meteorite samples have been altered by their journey to Earth, whereas carefully selected samples could reveal much more about Mars' history and potential for life Challenges for Mars Sample Return include the large size of the lander, the need for new parachute and guidance technologies, and planetary protection requirements to prevent contaminating Earth NASA currently has no plans for additional Mars missions beyond sample return, and faces a potential loss of institutional knowledge as a "quiet period" approaches, highlighting the need to maintain momentum in Mars exploration Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Rob Manning Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

Briony Horgan, Associate Professor of Planetary Sciences at Purdue University, is working to determine whether we are alone in the Universe, or if life once existed on other planets such as Mars. She explains what the Perseverance Rover is doing on Mars, (like looking for ancient microbial life!), and talks about the samples and data that Perseverance is collecting. Briony also discusses a future NASA mission that will focus on returning samples to Earth (Mars Sample Return).   

Unless you've been living under a big red Martian rock, you've likely heard that NASA's Mars Sample Return mission is in trouble. The robotic program has its roots in the 1960s, when NASA started thinking about sending robots to fetch Mars soil even before Mariner 4's first flyby of the planet. The Russians pondered it as well, as the Chinese and Japanese are today. The problem? It's really hard, with multiple spacecraft, possibly on different launches, rendezvousing around the Red Planet to accomplish. And then there are the concerns about the safety of returning possible pathogens to Earth (that said, I could use an extra tentacle). But the showstopper, as usual, is cost—and NASA's not happy. We invited the original Space Ace reporter, Leonard David, to join the discussion. Headlines: NASA gives green light to Dragonfly, a nuclear-powered helicopter mission to Saturn's moon Titan, set to launch in 2028 and arrive in 2034 New images from the Perseverance rover reveal the crash site of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, showing scattered debris and broken rotor blades NASA continues to study the Orion spacecraft's heat shield, which experienced more erosion than expected during the Artemis 1 mission, raising concerns for future crewed missions Main Topic: Mars Sample Return Mission Leonard David expresses frustration with NASA's recent announcement of significant cost increases and delays for the Mars Sample Return mission NASA Administrator Bill Nelson stated that the current estimated cost of $11 billion is too high and called for innovative ideas from industry and academia to reduce costs and accelerate the timeline They discuss the scientific importance of returning Martian samples to Earth but question whether the current approach is the most effective way to search for life on Mars Leonard suggests that advancements in miniaturized instruments could allow for more comprehensive life detection experiments directly on the Martian surface, reducing the need for sample return The conversation touches on the potential for international collaboration and competition in Mars exploration, with China, Japan, and Russia planning their own missions Rod highlights the critical role of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Mars exploration and expresses concern about the potential loss of expertise if the MSR mission is scaled back or cancelled The TWiS crew concludes by emphasizing the need for a clear, sustainable strategy for Mars exploration that balances scientific objectives, technological capabilities, and budgetary realities Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Leonard David Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

If you're feeling frustrated and discouraged by the lack of progress in understanding the impact of asteroids on Earth, despite your avid interest in astronomy and space exploration, then you are not alone! You may have been tirelessly scouring through scientific articles and documentaries, hoping to gain a deeper comprehension of the subject, only to be left with more questions than answers. Instead of the expected result of an enhanced understanding, you may find yourself overwhelmed by complex theories and conflicting interpretations, leaving you feeling lost and perplexed. In this episode, you will be able to: · Uncover the terrestrial tales told by asteroid impact craters, offering a glimpse into Earth's eventful past. · Unravel the evidence indicative of water on Martian landscape, kindling excitement for the existence of extra-terrestrial life. 'Something that's only 15, 20, maybe 30 km across can so disturb the atmosphere that you lose half the living organisms on the planet... Mind-boggling stuff.' - Andrew Dunkley To delve into asteroid impact craters and their implications, we investigate the potential discovery of the largest impact crater.

NASA's Perseverance rover is currently collecting samples on the surface of Mars, and some of them will be coming to Earth—that is, if all goes well. NASA has a complex plan to bring bits of the Red Planet here, arriving in 2033, so scientists can study them to answer some burning questions. What's the planet's history? What is its dust like? And, are there any signs that life may have existed there? WSJ's Alex Ossola speaks to Lindsay Hays, an astrobiologist at NASA and deputy lead scientist for the Mars Sample Return mission, about how this mission could help us better understand the history of our own planet and shape future missions to Mars and beyond.
