The Pilbara region of Western Australia is big, dry, and wide open. And it may contain the oldest cosmic “scar” on Earth: an impact crater gouged three and a half billion years ago. Scientists discovered evidence of the crater during a brief expedition in 2021. They found some rock formations called shatter cones. Some of the cones are as tall as a house. The only known way to make them is in giant collisions with space rocks. Follow-up work last year revealed many more of these formations. The cones were found in a rock layer that’s miles wide, but only a few dozen feet thick. The layer also contains tiny “beads” that formed when molten rock was blasted high into the sky. The flight through the air sculpted droplets of the molten rock into balls. Geologists found that the layer formed three and a half billion years ago, so that’s when the impact must have taken place – more than a billion years earlier than the previous record holder. The asteroid could have been miles wide, and blasted a crater more than 60 miles across. The effects of the collision would have been felt around the world. In fact, researchers say the impact could have helped shape the world. Major asteroid impacts could have traveled deep, churning things up far below the surface. That could have created the “seeds” that gave birth to the continents when Earth was young. We’ll talk about potential future impacts tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Министар за животну средину у федералној влади Мари Ват (Murray Watt) одобрио је да се настави продаја природног гаса великим индустријским купцима у оквиру пројекта под називом "North West Shelf Gas Project " у Западној Аустралији. То је једна од највреднијих приобалних резерви гаса у земљи — којом управља компанија Вудсајд (Woodside), која је уложила захтев федералној валди да продужи пројекат —за још 40 година. Базиран на полуострву Бурап, у региону Пилбара (Pilbara's Burrup Peninsula), познатом и под називом Мјурађуга (Murujuga) пројекат се спроводи у подручју од огромног културног и еколошког значаја.

Since the election was announced, just five weeks ago, at least five women have been killed by their partners in Australia. Yet this crisis has barely received a mention in either of the two major parties’ campaigns. Dr Tracy Westerman, a Nyamal woman from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, has worked as a psychologist in remote communities for 25 years. She says where she works, the silence from politicians has been especially deafening. Aboriginal women face a significantly higher risk of domestic violence, but the assumptions our political leaders draw about the causes are deeply misguided. Today, Dr Tracy Westerman on what’s really fuelling intimate partner violence in Aboriginal communities – and how to stop women from being killed.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 142*How Mars Got Its MoonsA groundbreaking study suggests that Mars acquired its moons, Phobos and Deimos, after a passing asteroid was torn apart by the planet's gravity. This new hypothesis, based on NASA's supercomputer simulations and published in the journal Icarus, challenges previous theories of their origin, such as capture or major impact. The upcoming Martian Moons Exploration mission by JAXA, with NASA's involvement, aims to further investigate these theories by collecting samples from Phobos.*Starship Test Flight 6SpaceX has successfully completed its sixth test flight of the Starship Mega rocket, overseen by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. The test included a splashdown of the booster in the Gulf of Mexico and a successful orbital journey of the Starship, which trialled new heat shield materials and descent strategies. This marks the final test for this version of Starship, with an upgraded version expected to fly soon.*Revisiting Earth's Ore DepositsNew research reveals that the largest iron ore deposits in Western Australia's Pilbara are around a billion years younger than previously thought. Using advanced geochronology techniques, scientists have dated these deposits to between 1.1 and 1.4 billion years, reshaping our understanding of Earth's geological history and aiding future exploration efforts.The Science ReportA study suggests that a daily hour-long walk for those over 40 could extend life expectancy by five years. Meanwhile, global plastic waste is projected to double by mid-century, but a combination of policies could reduce it by 90%. Additionally, switching to a vegan diet could lower food costs by 19%, unlike the Mediterranean diet.
