Welcome back to Astronomy Daily! In today's episode, Anna and Avery cover six of the biggest stories in space and astronomy for Friday June nineteenth, twenty twenty-six — from a salty surprise on a mysterious pink world to a little rover completing a marathon on Mars.   Story 1: JWST Reveals Salty Clouds on the 'Pink Planet' GJ504b Northwestern University astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to finally crack open the spectrum of GJ504b — the so-called 'Pink Planet' 57 light-years away. The discovery, published in The Astronomical Journal on June 18, reveals an atmosphere filled with exotic chemistry and salt clouds unlike anything previously observed. At just 550°F, it's the coldest planetary-mass companion ever directly imaged. Whether it's a giant planet or a brown dwarf remains an open question, but its salty skies are a first for astronomy. Study led by Aneesh Baburaj, Northwestern University's CIERA. Story 2: Astronomers Solve the Mystery of Black Holes' Delayed Radio 'Burps' Using the NSF's Very Large Array, a team led by Kate Alexander (University of Arizona) has found that roughly 40% of all tidal disruption events — moments when a supermassive black hole shreds a passing star — produce a powerful delayed radio burst months to years after the initial flare. The study, announced June 16, also identifies a chemical fingerprint in early optical spectra that can predict which black holes are likely to produce these late-stage outbursts, giving astronomers a roadmap for long-term monitoring. Story 3: SpaceX Launches NROL-179 — the 14th NRO Proliferated Architecture Mission SpaceX launched NROL-179 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in the early hours of June 19, making it the 14th mission dedicated to building out the National Reconnaissance Office's 'proliferated architecture' — a constellation of small, resilient surveillance satellites. It was the 71st Falcon 9 launch of 2026. Mission details including satellite count and orbit remain classified. Story 4: Astrobotic Unveils Griffin-1: NASA's Moon Base II Lander Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic publicly revealed its Griffin-1 lunar lander on June 15, ahead of environmental testing at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Designated 'Moon Base II' by NASA, Griffin-1 is a 650kg-capacity infrastructure-class lander targeting the lunar south pole region. It will carry 10 payloads from 6 nations, led by Astrolab's FLIP rover (500kg), and is scheduled to launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in Q4 2026. Astrobotic has been recently acquired by Voyager Technologies. Story 5: Lucy Reveals the Life Story of Double-Lobed Asteroid Donaldjohanson Results from NASA's Lucy spacecraft's April 2025 flyby of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson were published in Science on June 18. The study, led by Simone Marchi (Southwest Research Institute), reveals a contact binary with a surface over 40 million years old and a younger neck (under 20 million years) built by slow-motion landslides triggered as sunlight gradually braked the asteroid's rotation from a few hours to its current 252.6-hour period. Donaldjohanson is likely a fragment of the Erigone family's parent body, destroyed ~155 million years ago. Story 6: Perseverance Rover Completes a Marathon Distance on Mars NASA's Perseverance rover has driven more than 26.2 miles (42.2 km) on Mars since landing in Jezero Crater in February 2021 — completing a marathon distance. The rover continues science operations beyond the crater's western rim, studying some of the oldest rocks in the mission's history. Perseverance is approaching Opportunity's all-time distance record of 45.16 km for a rover on another world. Mission operations are funded through at least 2028.   Links & References • JWST Pink Planet (GJ504b): The Astronomical Journal, June 18 2026 — Northwestern University / CIERA • TDE Radio Burps: NSF VLA / University of Arizona — Kate Alexander et al., announced June 16 2026 • NROL-179: space.com / spaceflightnow.com — launched June 19 2026 • Griffin-1: astrobotic.com / spacenews.com / spaceflightnow.com — unveiled June 15 2026 • Lucy / Donaldjohanson: Science journal, June 18 2026 — Simone Marchi, Southwest Research Institute • Perseverance Marathon: space.com — June 18 2026Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

Today's episode covers six stories spanning cosmic mysteries, lunar exploration, robotic rescue missions, cutting-edge space medicine, and what's happening in your own night sky tonight.   1. JWST Solves the "Little Red Dots" Mystery Four years after the James Webb Space Telescope began spotting strange, compact red objects in the ancient universe, scientists have a definitive answer. A team led by Vasily Kokorev at the University of Texas at Austin published the most detailed spectrum ever obtained of one of these objects — GLIMPSE-17775 — in The Astrophysical Journal on June 10. The data confirms these objects are supermassive black holes in their furious early growth phase, wrapped in dense cocoons of hot gas that disguise them. The universe is not broken — the little red dots were just very well hidden. 2. Astrobotic Unveils Griffin-1 Lunar Lander Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic publicly unveiled its Griffin-1 lunar lander on June 15 at the Moonshot Museum. NASA selected Griffin as the vehicle for its Moon Base II mission. The lander will carry Astrolab's FLIP rover and payloads from multiple nations — including Australia — to the lunar South Pole, targeting launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in late 2026. Griffin-1 heads to JPL for environmental testing this month. 3. Robotic Rescue Mission for NASA's Swift Observatory NASA's 22-year-old Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is losing altitude fast due to accelerated solar activity. A startup called Katalyst Space Technologies has built a robotic spacecraft — LINK — in under a year, and it's now integrated into a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket ready for launch from Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands, later this month. If successful, LINK will boost Swift's orbit and extend its life — while pioneering on-orbit servicing capabilities. 4. SpaceX CRS-34 Dragon Departs the ISS NASA's 34th SpaceX commercial resupply mission departed the ISS today, June 16, carrying blood stem cells, bioprinted organ and cartilage tissue, DNA-inspired cancer treatment materials, and cryogenic fuel storage experiment data. Splashdown off California is expected June 17. 5. Tonight's Sky: Moon Meets Three Planets A stunning western sky show is on offer tonight — a crescent Moon appearing between Mercury and Jupiter about an hour after sunset, with brilliant Venus also on display. Mercury reached its greatest eastern elongation on June 15, making this the best time of its current apparition to spot it. Tomorrow evening the Moon drifts to sit beside Venus. 6. Space Weather: CME Glancing Blow A coronal mass ejection from June 12 is expected to deliver a glancing blow to Earth on June 16-17. Active geomagnetic conditions (Kp up to 4) are forecast, with a chance of minor G1 storm conditions. High-latitude aurora watchers in the Southern Hemisphere may see some activity.   Links & Further Reading • GLIMPSE-17775 study — The Astrophysical Journal (June 10, 2026) • Astrobotic Griffin-1 mission info: astrobotic.com • NASA Swift Boost mission: science.nasa.gov/mission/swift/swift-boost-mission • ISS research blog: nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation • Space weather: spaceweather.gov | NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center   Find us at astronomydaily.io  |  Follow: @AstroDailyPodBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

It's the final show with Alan Leer, and we're not going out quietly. A major study is mapping pesticide exposure against cancer hotspots and raising awkward questions about what “safe” even means when chemicals mix in the real world. Meanwhile SpaceX tries to get Falcon Heavy back up, but the weather does what it does. Back home, London gets a proper academic flex out of UCL, and in gaming, Diablo IV drops Lord of Hatred — the kind of expansion that eats your evening and asks for seconds. For the full reads, it's all on standard.co.uk — and cheers for listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hosted by Anna and Avery for the Bitesz.com Podcast Network. Today: NASA's Roman Space Telescope locks in a September 2026 launch date eight months ahead of schedule; new research reveals Uranus's rings are hiding secrets — and possibly hidden moons; Hubble returns to the Trifid Nebula nearly 30 years on; Jordan becomes the 63rd nation to sign the Artemis Accords; the Artemis III rocket core stage ships to Kennedy Space Center; and Southern Hemisphere skywatchers get their best shot at Comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS this week.   Story Summaries 1. Roman Space Telescope — September 2026 Launch Confirmed NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is now targeting a September 2026 launch — eight months ahead of its formal May 2027 deadline, and under budget. The 300-megapixel infrared observatory will survey the cosmos with a field of view at least 100 times wider than Hubble's, observing over a billion galaxies and discovering more than 100,000 new worlds in its first five years. It will travel to the Sun-Earth L2 point aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.   2. Uranus's Mysterious Rings Hint at Hidden Moons A study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, using combined data from Keck Observatory, Hubble and JWST, has produced the first complete reflectance spectrum of Uranus's two outermost rings. The mu-ring is made of water ice sourced from moon Mab; the nu-ring contains carbon-rich organic compounds from unseen rocky bodies — suggesting undiscovered moonlets may orbit Uranus. Researchers say a dedicated spacecraft mission will be needed to solve the mystery fully.   3. Hubble Revisits the Trifid Nebula NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has re-imaged the spectacular Trifid Nebula, approximately 5,000 light-years away, nearly three decades after its original 1997 image. By comparing the two images, astronomers have tracked measurable changes in young stellar behaviour — demonstrating the power of long-lived space observatories as cosmic time-lapse cameras.   4. Jordan Signs the Artemis Accords The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan signed the Artemis Accords today at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC, becoming the 63rd nation to commit to the framework for peaceful space exploration. The Accords — established in 2020 — cover transparency, interoperability, data sharing, heritage preservation and resource extraction principles for Moon, Mars and beyond.   5. Artemis III Rocket Core Stage on the Move Just ten days after Artemis II's historic lunar flyby concluded, NASA rolled out the core stage of the Artemis III SLS rocket from Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans onto the Pegasus barge for shipment to Kennedy Space Center. Artemis III is targeting 2027 for an Earth-orbit crewed rendezvous and docking test with commercial lunar landers, with a Moon landing pushed to Artemis IV in 2028.   6. Comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS — Southern Hemisphere Viewing Window Comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS reached perihelion on April 19 and is now entering its best viewing window for Southern Hemisphere observers. From late April through early May, the comet will appear in the evening sky after sunset, potentially reaching magnitude 3.5 or brighter. Its orbit may be hyperbolic — meaning this could be humanity's only ever encounter with this object. Closest Earth approach: April 26, at approximately 73 million kilometres.   Links & Resources: •       Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: roman.gsfc.nasa.gov •       Artemis Accords signatories: nasa.gov/artemis-accords •       Comet C/2025 R3 tracking: theskylive.com/c2025r3-info •       New research — Uranus rings: doi.org/10.1029/2025je009404 •       Astronomy Daily: astronomydaily.io | @AstroDailyPodBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

Episode: S05E63  |  Date: Saturday, 14 March 2026 Hosted by Anna & Avery  |  Astronomy Daily Podcast Network — Bitesz.com   From galactic migrations to Pi Day planets, Episode 63 covers six stories that span the breadth of the solar system and beyond. Our Sun turns out to have hitched a ride outward from the Milky Way's interior billions of years ago — and brought thousands of stellar companions with it. China has named a leading candidate for its first crewed Moon landing. Russia is dusting off the legacy of the legendary Soviet Venera programme with an ambitious 2036 return to Venus. NASA's nuclear-powered Titan drone is now being physically built. China's Mars sample return mission is constructing actual spacecraft. And in honour of Pi Day, we visit the exoplanet whose year lasts almost exactly 3.14 days.   Story 1: The Sun Was Part of a Galactic Migration of Solar Twins A new study in Astronomy & Astrophysics by researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan has built the largest-ever catalogue of solar twins — 6,594 Sun-like stars. Using ESA's Gaia satellite, they found a clustering of stars aged 4–6 billion years, suggesting the Sun migrated outward from the Milky Way's inner regions billions of years ago, possibly when the galactic bar was still forming and its 'corotation barrier' was weak enough to allow mass stellar movement. This migration may have placed Earth in a calmer, more life-friendly region of the Galaxy.   •      Journal: Astronomy & Astrophysics (March 2026) •      Lead researchers: Daisuke Taniguchi (Tokyo Metropolitan University) & Takuji Tsujimoto (NAOJ) •      Data source: ESA Gaia satellite — catalogue of ~2 billion stars •      Key finding: Sun likely formed ~10,000 light-years closer to the Galactic Centre than its current position   Story 2: China Eyes Rimae Bode for Its First Crewed Moon Landing A study published in Nature Astronomy (9 March 2026) proposes Rimae Bode — a volcanic region near Sinus Aestuum on the lunar near side — as a prime candidate for China's first crewed lunar landing, targeted for 2030. The site contains five distinct terrain types including pyroclastic deposits, mare basalts, rille systems and highland material. Researcher Jun Huang (China University of Geosciences, Wuhan) described it as a 'geological museum.' Four specific landing spots within the region have been proposed.   •      Journal: Nature Astronomy (March 2026) •      Lead researcher: Jun Huang, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan •      Site: Rimae Bode, near Sinus Aestuum, lunar near side •      Oldest volcanic activity in region: ~3.2–3.7 billion years ago •      China's crewed lunar landing target: 2030   Story 3: Russia Plans Venera-D Mission to Venus in 2036 Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov confirmed on 10 March 2026 that Russia plans to launch the Venera-D mission — comprising a lander, atmospheric balloon, and orbiter — to Venus in 2036. The mission would extend the legacy of the Soviet Venera programme (1961–1983), which remains the only national programme to have successfully landed on Venus. Scientific goals include searching for microbial life in Venus's clouds and studying the planet's atmosphere.   •      Mission: Venera-D (lander + balloon + orbiter) •      Planned launch: 2036 •      Agency: Roscosmos •      Heritage: Soviet Venera programme — 16 missions, 1961–1983 •      Science goal: Search for biosignatures in Venusian cloud layers (48–60 km altitude) •      Source: TASS, citing Razvedchik Journal interview with Denis Manturov   Story 4: NASA Begins Building Dragonfly — Nuclear-Powered Drone for Titan NASA and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) officially began integration and testing of the Dragonfly rotorcraft on 10 March 2026. The car-sized, nuclear-powered octocopter is designed to fly across the surface of Saturn's moon Titan, targeting a 2028 launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy and arriving at Titan in 2034. It will explore diverse terrain including organic dunes and the Selk impact crater, studying prebiotic chemistry relevant to the origins of life.   •      Mission: Dragonfly | Agency: NASA / Johns Hopkins APL •      Launch: No earlier than summer 2028 (SpaceX Falcon Heavy) •      Arrival: Titan, 2034 | Mission duration: ~3.3 years •      Power: Radioisotope thermoelectric generator (nuclear) •      Range: >108 miles (175 km) across Titan's surface •      Quote: "This milestone essentially marks the birth of our flight system." — Elizabeth Turtle, PI   Story 5: China's Tianwen-3 Mars Sample Return Enters Construction Phase China's Tianwen-3 mission chief designer Liu Jizhong announced on 12 March 2026 that the mission has achieved key technology breakthroughs and is entering flight model development — building the actual spacecraft. Two Long March 5 rockets will launch in late 2028, carrying a lander/ascent vehicle and an orbiter/return spacecraft respectively. The goal is to return at least 500 grams of Martian samples to Earth by 2031 — what would be humanity's first Mars sample return.   •      Mission: Tianwen-3 | Agency: CNSA •      Launch: Late 2028 (two Long March 5 rockets) •      Sample return: Earth, targeted 2031 •      Sample target: Minimum 500 grams of Martian rock and soil •      Landing site candidates: 19 remaining (narrowing to 3 by end of 2026) •      Primary science goal: Search for biosignatures / signs of past life on Mars •      Note: NASA's Mars Sample Return was effectively cancelled in early 2026   Story 6 (Pi Day Special): K2-315b — The Exoplanet with a 3.14-Day Year In honour of Pi Day (3/14), NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day features K2-315b — an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting a cool red dwarf star approximately 185 light-years away. Its orbital period of almost exactly 3.14159 days makes it one of the most mathematically charming exoplanet discoveries on record. Discovered using Kepler K2 mission data and announced in 2020, the planet orbits so close to its star that its surface is extremely hot and definitely uninhabitable — but delightfully pi-shaped in its year length.   •      Exoplanet: K2-315b •      Distance: ~185 light-years •      Host star: Cool red dwarf (M-type) •      Orbital period: 3.14159 days •      Discovery: Kepler K2 mission data, announced 2020 •      Surface: Extremely hot — far too close to its star for habitability •      Today's NASA APOD (14 March 2026): astronomydaily.io for linkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

以下のようなトピックについて話をしました。 01. DeepSeekが低コストで高性能な推論モデルを公開 DeepSeekが2025年1月20日に公開した推論モデル「DeepSeek-R1-Zero」と「DeepSeek-R1」が、AIの開発に対する業界の見方を大きく変えました。これらのモデルはMITライセンスの下でオープンソースとして公開され、トレーニングコストがOpenAIの推論モデル「o1」の約3％程度だと伝えられています。 R1は、Mixture of Experts(MoE)アーキテクチャを採用したAIモデル「DeepSeek-V3-Base」をベースにしており、総パラメータ数は6710億、コンテキスト長は128Kです。特にコーディング、数学、ロジックの分野で高品質な結果を生み出すことが確認されています。 DeepSeekの革新的な点は、AI開発におけるブレークスルーを達成したことです。従来の大規模言語モデルが人間のフィードバックによる強化学習(RLHF)を用いていたのに対し、R1-Zeroは人間によるフィードバックを削除し、ほぼ強化学習(RL)のみでトレーニングを行いました。この新しいアプローチにより、モデルの性能と効率が大幅に向上しています。 DeepSeekの登場は、AI業界に大きな影響を与え、株式市場にも影響を及ぼしています。その低コストと高性能は、AI開発の新たな可能性を示唆しており、今後のAI技術の進化に大きな期待が寄せられています。 02. 準天頂衛星みちびき6号機を打ち上げ成功 2025年2月2日、宇宙航空研究開発機構（JAXA）と三菱重工業は、国産基幹ロケット「H3」5号機を種子島宇宙センターから打ち上げ、日本版GPS衛星「みちびき」6号機を軌道に投入することに成功しました。H3ロケットはこれで2号機以降、4機連続での打ち上げ成功を記録しています。 打ち上げ後、固体ロケットブースター「SRB-3」や第1段・第2段機体の分離が順調に行われ、約29分後に「みちびき」6号機が静止トランスファー軌道に投入されました。この衛星は、準天頂衛星システム「みちびき」の一部であり、位置情報や時刻情報を提供する社会インフラとして機能します。 今回の6号機は、既存の4機体制を7機体制に拡張するための追加3機のうちの1機目です。この拡張により、日本上空に常に4機以上の衛星が滞空することが可能となり、他国のシステムに依存せず「みちびき」単独での持続測位が実現します。また、新たな高精度測位システムの実証も行われる予定です。 将来的には、バックアップ強化のために11機体制への拡張が計画されており、1機が故障しても測位機能を維持できる体制を目指しています。この成功は、日本の宇宙技術と測位システムの自立性向上に大きく貢献するものです。 03. 小惑星と誤認されたテスラ車、宇宙で再発見 2025年1月2日、ハーバード・スミソニアン天体物理学センターの小惑星センターが新たな小惑星「2018 CN41」を発見したと発表しました。この天体は地球近傍天体として登録されましたが、後に小惑星ではなくイーロン・マスクのテスラ・ロードスターであることが判明し、登録が取り消されました。 この「小惑星」はトルコのアマチュア天文家が開発したソフトウェアを使って発見されました。天文家たちは軌道を計算し、地球に接近する可能性があると考えました。しかし、軌道の3D表示を見た際に、火星に向かう宇宙船の軌道に似ていることに気づきました。 調査の結果、この天体は2018年2月にSpaceXのFalcon Heavyロケットで打ち上げられたテスラ・ロードスターであることが判明しました。このロードスターには「スターマン」と呼ばれる宇宙服を着た人形が乗っており、当初は火星を目指していましたが、予想以上に加速して小惑星帯まで到達してしまいました。 この出来事は、地球の周回軌道を越えた範囲で運用される宇宙船の追跡と透明性の問題を浮き彫りにしました。専門家は、このような未追跡の物体が増えると、地球を危険な小惑星から守る取り組みや、小惑星の研究に支障をきたす可能性があると警告しています。 本ラジオはあくまで個人の見解であり現実のいかなる団体を代表するものではありません ご理解頂ますようよろしくおねがいします

Europa Clipper is NASA's first mission dedicated to studying an icy ocean world. Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on October 14, 2024, from Kennedy Space Center, the spacecraft is set to arrive at Jupiter in April of 2030 to conduct sweeping flybys of Europa. Europa is one of Jupiter's four large Galilean moons. It's roughly the size of our own moon, but what's most is intriguing is that it may harbor the conditions for life in the massive ocean beneath its frozen surface. What we learn could open up the science floodgates to other ocean worlds across the solar system.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 127*SpaceX's Starship's Fifth Test Flight SuccessSpaceX's Starship has completed its fifth test flight with a spectacular feat of engineering, successfully catching the super heavy booster with mechanical chopsticks on the launch pad tower. The booster, equipped with 33 Raptor engines, returned to Earth after a successful launch from SpaceX's Starbase in Texas, showcasing the potential for rapid reuse and interplanetary missions. The test flight marks a significant step towards developing Starship for NASA's Artemis III mission, aiming for a manned moon landing in 2026.*Origins of Earth's Meteorites UncoveredA new study reveals that most meteorites reaching Earth originate from just three major asteroid breakup events. The findings, published in Astronomy and Astrophysics and Nature, identify the Karin, Koronis, and Massalia asteroid families as the sources of 70% of meteorite falls. These discoveries enhance our understanding of asteroid collisions in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter and help trace the origins of over 90% of meteorites on Earth.*NASA's Europa Clipper Mission LaunchesNASA's Europa Clipper mission has embarked on its journey to explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa. Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, the spacecraft will investigate Europa's subsurface ocean and potential habitability. The mission will conduct 49 flybys, using its suite of scientific instruments to study the moon's icy shell, composition, and geology. Europa Clipper aims to determine if conditions on Europa could support life, building on data from NASA's Galileo mission.The Science RobertNew research indicates that high temperatures and air pollution are contributing to a global increase in stroke cases, with significant rises in stroke-related deaths since 1990. A study warns that the H5N1 bird flu virus is spreading in the US through dairy cows, primarily via udder infections during milking. Additionally, a report suggests that teenage relationships influence life satisfaction in adulthood, highlighting the importance of social acceptance and close friendships during adolescence.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 117*The Biggest Black Hole Jets Ever SeenAstronomers have detected the largest pair of black hole jets ever observed, stretching an astounding 23 million light years. Named Porphyron, this jet megastructure dates back to when the universe was just 6.3 billion years old. The discovery, published in the journal Nature, suggests that these colossal jets had a significant impact on galaxy formation during the universe's early epochs.*NASA's Europa Clipper Mission Ready for LaunchAll systems are go for next month's launch of NASA's Europa Clipper mission, set to study the oceans of Jupiter's ice moon, Europa. The spacecraft will be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket and will undertake a series of 49 close flybys to determine if Europa's subsurface ocean could be habitable.*Iran Tests Another Nuclear Capable MissileIn defiance of United Nations resolutions, Iran has tested a new medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

A special edition of the Carolina Weather Group: Countdown to launch! The GOES-U satellite, the final addition to GOES-R series, will help to prepare for two kinds of weather — Earth and space weather. Once operational, this new satellite will be renamed GOES-19 and take on the role of GOES East. As GOES East, the satellite will serve a critical role in providing continuous weather coverage over the Carolinas, the United States East Coast and monitoring tropical systems in the Atlantic oceans. This continuous monitoring aids scientists and forecasters in issuing timely warnings and forecasts to help protect the one billion people who live and work in the Americas. Additionally, GOES-U carries a new compact coronagraph that will image the outer layer of the Sun's atmosphere to detect and characterize coronal mass ejections. This week, we talked with Dr. Dan Lindsey, GOES-R Program Scientist, and Dr. Jim Spann, Senior Scientist for Space Weather for NOAA's NESDIS Office of Space Weather Observations. The two-hour launch window opens at 5:16 p.m. EDT Tuesday, June 25, for the satellite's launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

By 1945, a victorious Stalin had turned a poor country into a victorious superpower. Over the course of those four years, Stalin, at Churchill's insistence, accepted an Anglo-American press corps in Moscow to cover the Eastern Front. To turn these reporters into Kremlin mouthpieces, Stalin imposed the most draconian controls – unbending censorship, no visits to the battle front, and a ban on contact with ordinary citizens. The Red Hotel explores this gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and share their beds. On the surface, this regime served Stalin well: his plans to control Eastern Europe as a Sovietised ‘outer empire' were never reported and the most outrageous Soviet lies went unchallenged. But beneath the surface the Metropol was roiling with intrigue. While some of the translators turned journalists into robotic conveyors of Kremlin propaganda, others were secret dissidents who whispered to reporters the reality of Soviet life and were punished with sentences in the Gulag. Using British archives and Soviet sources, the unique role of the women of the Metropol, both as consummate propagandists and secret dissenters, is told for the first time. At the end of the war when Lenin returned to Red Square, the reporters went home, but the memory of Stalin's ruthless control of the wartime narrative lived on in the Kremlin. From the weaponization of disinformation to the falsification of history, from the moving of borders to the neutralisation of independent states, the story of the Metropol mirrors the struggles of our own modern era. 1115-1130 6/4: The Red Hotel: Moscow 1941, the Metropol Hotel, and the Untold Story of Stalin's Propaganda War by  Alan Philps  (Author) 1130-1145 7/4: The Red Hotel: Moscow 1941, the Metropol Hotel, and the Untold Story of Stalin's Propaganda War by  Alan Philps  (Author) 1145-1200 8/4: The Red Hotel: Moscow 1941, the Metropol Hotel, and the Untold Story of Stalin's Propaganda War by  Alan Philps  (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 #Ukraine: #Israel: #Taiwan: Arsenal of Democracy into action with dissent.

Today, we're shifting gears a bit to talk about a compelling NASA mission that aims to explore an asteroid called Psyche. This asteroid isn't just any space rock; it's largely metallic and resembles the Earth's core. With the launch slated as soon as this Thursday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Psyche mission is expected to open new frontiers in our understanding of planetary formation. We'll be covering various aspects of this mission, from the spacecraft's journey to why this particular asteroid is so vital for scientific research. The idea of exploring an asteroid may seem futuristic, but the future is closer than you think. NASA's Psyche mission has been in the works for quite some time, with a year-long delay throwing a small wrench into the planning. Nevertheless, the spacecraft, named after the asteroid it aims to explore, is prepped and almost ready for its expedition. The launch vehicle for this mission? SpaceX's triple-core Falcon Heavy rocket, which will propel the spacecraft on a six-year, 2.2 billion-mile journey.

In today's episode, we're taking you on a journey through space to introduce you to Psyche, an unusual metal-rich asteroid hiding within the asteroid belt. Set to launch on October 12 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, the mission to explore this celestial object could redefine what we know about the solar system. Scientists are speculating that Psyche might not just be another asteroid but could potentially be the exposed core of a failed planet or something even more astonishing.

In today's episode, we're focusing on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, which recently conducted a successful "static fire" test at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The test is a critical step leading up to the rocket's upcoming mission to launch NASA's Psyche asteroid probe. The Psyche mission is eyeing an exploration of a metallic object located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, potentially giving us unprecedented insights into planet formation and the early history of our solar system. Scheduled for October 12, the Falcon Heavy will lift off from Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, and if all goes well, the Psyche probe will reach its asteroid target in 2029 for a study duration of at least 26 months.

Welcome to a special 'One Show Thursday' episode of Astronomy Daily! On this day, Tim Gibbs and his AI sidekick, Hallie, delve into a striking discovery about Olympus Mons and an unfortunate delay of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch. **Key Discussions:** 1. **Olympus Mons as an Ancient Martian Volcanic Island:** Hallie unfolds an intriguing possibility about Olympus Mons, Mars' highest mountain, suggesting it could have been a giant volcanic island in an ancient Martian ocean. This theory is based on a recent study led by the Center National Drescherches Scientific (CNRS), revealing characteristics on Olympus Mons' slopes reminiscent of volcanic islands on Earth. These findings illuminate our understanding of Mars' history, hinting at a period of extensive volcanic activity and water presence, and shed light on astrobiology studies of Mars. 2. **SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch Postponed:** A record-breaking Falcon Heavy rocket launch by SpaceX got scrubbed last-minute due to undisclosed reasons. The launch aimed to deploy Jupiter 3, the largest commercial communication satellite ever built. Despite this setback, SpaceX looks ahead to their next-gen Starship vehicle, expected to generate an unparalleled 16.7 million pounds of thrust. **Tune in and Join the Conversation:** Never miss an episode with Tim Gibbs and AI assistant, Hallie, by visiting spacenuts.io or bitesz.com.

In this week's questions show, I talk about why some missions go into orbit, and other missions make a direct landing on Mars. Is it a good idea for the SpaceX Falcon Heavy to launch components for the Lunar Gateway? And how can we know if the Universe is finite or infinite? 00:00 Start 00:30 Why go into orbit when NASA goes straight for landing? 04:19 What about SpaceX launching the Lunar Gateway? 08:45 Is the Universe finite or infinite? 11:52 Would a big black hole event horizon look flat? 12:38 If I had $50 billion to spend on space 16:14 Do I own any space stocks? 18:04 Will there be a time when we can't see other galaxies? 21:24 Is it easier or harder to fly to the Moon now? 25:09 When will the first steps be on Mars? 30:58 Would a Moon city protect humanity? 35:46 Could we crash Mars into Pluto? 36:54 Will travel to the Moon/Mars ever be cheap? 39:24 Should we be improving Earth or Mars? 41:06 Which book series do I recommend people read first? 42:13 Will Perseverance hear the helicopter? 44:07 What technologies will improve the Earth in the future?

From Star Trek Dilithium Crystals to Elon Musk and Nasa Mining Golden Asteroids in Space, we dive deep into the "Resources for Humanity".Joining us for another special episode of Two Wongs & A White, Sophia provides insight into the topic of Natural Resources.Enjoy, Subscribe, Like and Smash the Notification Bell![INFORMATION SOURCE ABOUT THE ASTEROID MINING]NASA's Psyche Mission Will Survey Metallic Asteroid Worth an Estimated $10-Quintillionhttps://www.techeblog.com/nasa-spacex-psyche-mission-asteroid-10-quintillion/A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch a spacecraft to survey 16 Psyche, one of the largest objects in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Researchers have discovered that it could be worth $10-quintillion dollars ($10,000,000,000,000,000,000 – 19 zeros). However, this mission has to clear three more phases, starting with Phase D, which includes final spacecraft assembly/testing, along with the August 2022 launch.

Later this month, a small satellite will hitch a ride on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket for the world's first demonstration of “green” satellite propellant in space. The satellite is fueled by AFM-315, which the Air Force first developed more than 20 years ago as an alternative to the typical satellite juice of choice, hydrazine.

Go behind the scenes with us as we set up cameras at the launch pad, met some incredible people and witnessed the first commercial launch of SpaceX Falcon Heavy, complete with the incredible landing of the boosters at Cape Canaveral. Featured in this episode are interviews with Everyday Astronaut Tim Dodd, rocket launch photographer Erik... The post 87.

What motivates a great novelist to write a children's book? Author Junot Diaz joins co-hosts Eric Newman and Kate Wolf to discuss the inspiration behind Islandborn, the story of five year-old Lola learning about her family's history and culture, beautifully illustrated by Leo Espinoza. What follows is a penetrating conversation about the severe under-representation of people of color in children's books, the long-overdue reckoning that needs to happen across society, the genius of diasporic literature, and the healing potential of stories for all ages, about all peoples, that convey universal human experience. Also, Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket inspired LARB Radio's Dan Lopez to re-read, and highly recommend, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy

The guys open the show discussing the recent SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket launch featuring Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster being shot into space en route for Mars. Then after Dr. Drew posits that Los Angeles should ask Elon Musk to help the city Adam goes on an in depth rant about the simple things that LA could do right now to radically improve our traffic conditions. They then turn to the phones and speak to a caller who got into treatment after advice from Drew and another who is looking for advice on dealing with his combative grandmother.

Falcon Heavy gets a launch date for very soon, and SLS gets an even further away launch date, along with more in this jam packed Talking Space! On this episode we have a busy launch round-up featuring the Vega rocket, SpaceX, a new Minotaur-C, China bouncing back from failure, and more. We also have the upcoming penultimate flight of the Delta II, a classified SpaceX payload, a first launch from SLC-40 since the AMOS-6 failure last year, and AMOS returning back to SpaceX with a new satellite. We discuss all of this, along with the newly announced launch date for the long-anticipated SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch from LC-39A. However, they also had a bit of a setback with a Merlin engine exploding on the test stand in McGregor, Texas.  We then go into the first hearing for NASA administrator candidate Jim Bridenstine and some of the bizarre questions asked of the controversial candidate. We then go into NASA pushing the launch of SLS most likely to mid-2020, and a report by the NASA OIG on how even that might be unreasonable. Then it's onto names on Mars and a KBO that needs a name. We also must sadly mention the passing of Gemini XI and Apollo XII veteran Richard "Dick" Gordon at age 88. We reminisce on our memories of one of the last of his kind.
