The findings add more mystery to the enigma of dark matter – an invisible substance which makes up over 80 percent of all the matter in the universe. *New lightning study about to begin A new suite of European Space Agency instruments aboard the International Space Station are about to begin studying mysterious upper atmospheric lightning events from orbit Every second, around 45 lightning strikes jolt Earth’s atmosphere, where powerful reactions in thunderstorm clouds alter the chemical composition of the air inside and around them. *The truth behind NASA’s twins study In what may be a perfect example of what happens when news editors get journalists who usually chase fire engines or politicians to cover a science story -- media outlets have been busy issuing corrections after reporters wrongly claimed that seven percent of the DNA of an astronaut had changed following a year-long space flight – compared to his identical twin who remained on Earth. *Moscow launches top secret experimental satellite Moscow has launched what may be a new experimental spy satellite. The top secret flight was launched on a Soyuz 2-1V rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia. *China launches three more spy satellites China has launched another trio of what it euphemistically calls remote sensing satellites. The Yaogan Weixing-31-01 spacecraft are part of China’s latest generation of military surveillance and reconnaissance satellites. *China’s sat nav system takes shape China has successfully launched two more Beidou navigation satellites into orbit. *The Science Report Up to one in five people may show signs of a synesthesia.

*New Zealand reaches orbit  New Zealand has successfully placed a spacecraft into orbit for the first time. Rocket Lab’s unmanned Electron launch vehicle – named Still Testing – blasted off from the Lift off Mahia Peninsula launch pad on Sunday afternoon. You tube video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPcsZgmTRrg   *Black hole burping Astronomers have caught a monster black hole in a distant galaxy snacking on gas and then "burping" — not once, but twice. The findings show two separate episodes of feeding frenzy by the supermassive black hole about 800 million light-years away. *The changing Sun Like the waistband of a couch potato in midlife, the orbits of planets in our solar system are expanding. It happens because the Sun’s gravitational grip gradually weakens as our star ages and loses mass.  *Tiangong-1 crashing back to Earth Chinese space officials say their Tiangong 1 space station is still under control and will likely crash back to Earth in mid to late March. However, their inability to provide an exact schedule for the orbiter’s return continues to raise concerns about the likelihood of an imminent uncontrolled re-entry.  *China launches new navigation satellites China has launched its latest pair of Beidou-3 navigation satellites into orbit. The spacecraft were launched on a Long March-3B rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in Sichuan province. *Virgin Galactic test flight Virgin Galactic has carried out its first spaceplane drop glide test for 2018\. The VSS Unity achieved Mach zero point nine in the skies above California’s Mojave Desert. *Mystery surrounds SpaceX Zuma mission US Government officials are still refusing to say what happened to the top secret SpaceX Zuma mission which is suspected to have failed to deploy after reaching orbit.  You tube video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CArCgeXn3AQ *Dragon returns home The SpaceX CRS 13 capsule has returned to Earth splashing down successfully in the North Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja, California. The Dragon was undocked from the Harmony module’s nadir port by the space stations robotic arm and then released to fire its manoeuvring thrusters for the first of three burns to slowly push away from the space station. For enhanced Show Notes including photos to accompany this episode, visit: http://www.bitesz.com/spacetimeshownotes Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), google podcasts, Stitcher, PocketCasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, Spreaker etc Would you prefer to have access to the special commercial free version of SpaceTime?

*Setting a size limit on neutron stars A new study claims super dense stellar corpses known as neutron stars couldn’t get much bigger than twice the mass of the Sun. The findings solve a forty year old mystery that’s baffled scientists ever since neutron stars were first discovered. *New clues about the recipe for making stars Astronomers have shed fresh light on the importance of hydrogen atoms in the birth of new stars. Only hydrogen molecules are thought to directly fuel star formation. But new research shows there are more hydrogen atoms than molecules even in young galaxies that are making a lot of new stars. *Midwest Meteor The citizenry of the American mid-west have been treated to an unexpected celestial spectacular with the evening skies lit up by a bright meteor and sonic boom. People in the states of Ohio and Michigan and across the border in Ontario Canada witnessed the event around 8’0 clock local time. *No link between earthquakes and the full Moon A new study has provided more evidence to dispel an enduring myth that large earthquakes tend to happen during certain phases of the Moon or at certain times during the year. The findings confirm that this bit of earthquake lore is incorrect. *Titan has a sea level just like Earth A new study has confirmed that just like Earth – Saturn’s moon Titan has a sea level. The discovery adds to a growing list of similarities between Earth has this hostile alien world. *The Science Report 2017 confirmed as one of the three warmest years on record. Atmospheric CO2 levels pass a record 410 parts per million New blood test capable of detecting eight of the most common cancers. The war in Syria has entered new phase with Russian troops coming under attack from armed drones. Finding what crops grow best in the soils of Mars.

*New clues about mysterious Fast Radio Bursts Astronomers have discovered new clues about mysterious cosmic blasts called Fast Radio Bursts – finding they originate from an environment bathed in extreme magnetic fields. While the new findings don’t shed any fresh light on what causes them – the research has provided some new insights to the deep space environment in which they occur. *Underground Martian water ice deposits exposed New images have revealed eight sites on Mars where thick subsurface deposits of water ice have been exposed on the cliff faces of eroding slopes. As well as holding clues about the red planet’s climate history – the findings also show how frozen water may be far more accessible for future missions to Mars than previously thought. *The universe has far more massive stars than expected Astronomers have discovered an excess of massive stars being formed in a giant stellar nursery in our neighbouring galaxy -- the Large Magellanic cloud. The findings are based on observations of 30 Doradus -- the Tarantula nebula –the biggest star-forming region in our part of the universe and host to some of the most massive stars ever found. *Tabby’s star just dusty New research has supported earlier studies indicating strange uneven and sporadic variations in the light coming from a distant star is most likely just dust. For the last few years astronomers and the general public have been captivated by the mysterious changes in brightness coming from the star now commonly referred to as Tabby’s Star. *The Science Report New figures confirm 2017 was Australia’s third hottest year on record. A new study warns ibuprofen pain killers can affect male fertility. The probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri has the potential to provide an effective treatment for colic. Scientists have finally proved something women have always known – baby brain is real.

*Black holes control star formation in galaxies  Astronomers have discovered a close correlation between the mass of a galaxy’s central black hole and how quickly that galaxy shunts down star formation. Young galaxies blaze with bright new stars forming at a rapid rate, but star formation eventually shuts down or quenches as galaxies evolves. *The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program via Space Nuts podcast The United States military has confirmed the existence of a modern-day version of Project Blue Book. Project blue book was a program run by the US Air Force during the 1960s to deal with reports of flying saucers and other Unidentified Flying Objects. *The Science Report Over a quarter of the world's landmass to become significantly drier because of global warming.

*Solving the mystery of what came first? Astronomers may be a step closer to solving one of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics – which came first the galaxy – or the supermassive black hole at its centre. The problem is do galaxies form first from the accumulation of stars, globular clusters, and molecular gas and dust clouds -- with densities at the galactic centre eventually becoming so high it forms a black hole. *Supermassive black hole stellar factory Astronomers have discovered 11 newly formed infant protostars within three light years of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Black holes generate powerful gravitational tidal forces and intense ultraviolet and X-ray radiation – environments far more conducive to destroying stars rather than creating them. *Mars may not be as dry as it seems A new study suggests water on Mars is being absorbed by the red planet’s rocks like a sponge. The findings reported in the journal Nature suggest that Martian basalt rocks can hold up to 25 percent more water than similar basalts on Earth. *SpaceX to launch Falcon Heavy shortly After more than 12 years of planning and development Space X is finally getting ready to fly its new Falcon Heavy launch vehicle. The 70-metre-tall reusable rocket is based around three Falcon 9 common booster core stages -- mounted side by side in a similar fashion to the Delta 4 heavy -- from which it will take the title as the world’s most powerful operational launch vehicle. For enhanced Show Notes including photos to accompany this episode, visit: http://www.bitesz.com/spacetimeshownotes Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Google Podcasts, Stitcher, PocketCasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, Spreaker, Castbox.fm etc Would you prefer to have access to the special commercial-free version of SpaceTime?

Happy New Year!*Fireworks predicted from Rare Stellar Encounter in 2018 Astronomers are gearing up for high-energy fireworks in the next few months when a pulsar plows through the outer atmosphere of one of the galaxy’s brightest stars. The cosmic light show spectacular will occur just 5000 light years from Earth – astronomers aren’t sure exactly when – but it will be soon. *Bright Areas on Ceres Suggest Geologic Activity If you could fly aboard NASA's Dawn spacecraft, the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres would generally look quite dark, but with notable exceptions. These exceptions are the hundreds of bright areas that stand out in images Dawn has returned. *2018 promises to be another stellar year for astronomy There’ll be three partial Solar Eclipse in 2018. And as solar eclipses always occur about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse there’ll be a couple of total lunar eclipses as well. *Cometary close encounter The next big cometary visitor scheduled to make a close encounter with Earth is the comet 46P/Wirtanen which will appear in time for Christmas 2018. *The Science Report A new study confirms that gay kids are far more likely to commit suicide. Same sex couples are generally happier than straight or bi couples. Climate change made Hurricane Harvey three times more likely and 15 percent more intense. New computer simulations provide some surprises about the Yellowstone super volcano. Humans may have reached their maximum limits for height, lifespan and physical performance. Experts warn of a significant peak in chocolate poisoning for dogs and cats over the holidays. For enhanced Show Notes including photos to accompany this episode, visit: http://www.bitesz.com/spacetimeshownotes Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Google Podcasts, Stitcher, PocketCasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, Spreaker etc Would you prefer to have access to the special commercial-free version of SpaceTime?

*NASA looking at missions to a comet and to Saturn’s moon Titan NASA has selected two finalist concepts for a robotic mission planned to launch in the mid-2020s. The agency is considering a comet sample return mission and a drone-like rotorcraft that would explore potential landing sites on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. *Was the star of Bethlehem a real thing? For astronomy the idea of three wise men being guided by a star to a stable in a little town called Bethlehem two thousand years ago raises a number of problems. But let’s for a moment just suppose it really happened -- So, what star were they following? *ET’s not calling Scientists say they’ve detected no alien signals or any evidence of extraterrestrial technology coming from the strange cigar shaped interstellar visitor which speed through our solar system in September and October. The 400 metre long 40 metre wide asteroid designated A/2017 U1 and named Oumuamua the Hawaiian name meaning "messenger" or "scout"— has been the centre of astronomical attention ever since its unexpected detection. *Skywatch January We turn our eyes to the skies and check out the celestial sphere for January on Skywatch with the Quadrantids meteor shower to light up the skies as well as another super moon and total lunar eclipse. For enhanced Show Notes including photos to accompany this episode, visit: http://www.bitesz.com/spacetimeshownotes Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Google Podcasts, Stitcher, PocketCasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, Spreaker etc Would you prefer to have access to the special commercial free version of SpaceTime?

*Artificial Intelligence used to discover an eighth exoplanet orbiting a distant star. Our solar system now is tied for most number of planets around a single star, following the discovery of an eighth planet orbiting the Sun like star Kepler-90 some 2,545 light years away in the constellation Draco. The planet was discovered in data from NASA's planet hunting Kepler Space Telescope. *NASA’s mission to asteroid 16 Psyche NASA has accelerated its plans to send a spacecraft to the asteroid 16 Psyche. The mission which was slated to launch in 2023 will now fly a year earlier. *Expedition 54 crew blasts into orbit Three expedition 54 crew members have blasted into orbit on a two day flight to the International Space Station. The new crew members will join three existing expedition 53/54 crew conducting some 250 science experiments in microgravity. *Soyuz touches down safely Three Expedition 52 crew members have returned safely to Earth after five months in orbit aboard the International Space Station. Their Soyuz MS-05 capsule touched down on the frozen early morning Kazakhstan Stepp four hours after undocking from the orbiting outpost. *The Science Report What may be the earliest direct evidence of life on Earth may have been discovered in Western Australia.

*Juno probes the depths of Jupiter's Great Red Spot Data collected by NASA's Juno spacecraft during its first pass over Jupiter's Great Red Spot in July indicate that this iconic feature penetrates well below the clouds. Other revelations from the mission include that Jupiter has two previously uncharted radiation zones. *Life discovered living on just thin air Scientists have discovered microbes that literally live on thin air. 01The findings have implications for the search for life on other planets, suggesting extra-terrestrial microbes could also rely on trace atmospheric gases for survival. *Claims that Mars does have a protective magnetosphere after all A new study claims the Martian atmosphere is well protected from the effects of the solar wind despite the absence of a global Earth-like magnetic field. While Mars now lacks Earth’s geodynamo driven magnetic field, the Sun’s solar wind instead induces currents in the ionized upper Martian atmosphere -- creating an induced magnetosphere. *Sceptics guide to Christmas Eran Segev joins us to look at the real origins of Christmas For enhanced Show Notes including photos to accompany this episode, visit: http://www.bitesz.com/spacetimeshownotes Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Google Podcasts, Stitcher, PocketCasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, Spreaker etc Would you prefer to have access to the special commercial free version of SpaceTime?

*Voyager 1 Fires Up Thrusters After 37 Years If you tried to start a car that's been sitting in a garage for decades, you might not expect the engine to respond. But a set of thrusters aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft successfully fired up Wednesday after 37 years without use. Voyager 1, NASA's farthest and fastest spacecraft, is the only human-made object in interstellar space, the environment between the stars. *Back to the Moon as well as to Mars and beyond The United States is returning humans to the Moon. President Donald Trump signed Space Policy Directive 1 at the White House, which is designed to refocus national space policy, with a U.S. led, integrated program involving the private sector and international partners for a human return to the Moon, followed by missions to Mars and beyond. *The night skies are getting brighter The night skies are getting brighter – and it’s our increased efforts to get rid of inefficient incandescent lighting replacing them with eco-friendly LED lights that’s become part of the problem. Between 2012 to 2016, the artificially lit area of the Earth's surface grew by 2.2 percent per year *Europe pushes ahead with new launch systems and reusable spacecraft The European Space Agency is moving forward with plans to develop new versions of its Vega rocket launch system and a new reusable capsule to take payloads into orbit and return them to the surface. *China’s busy 2017 launch manifest continues China’s 15th launch for 2017 has successfully carried Algeria’s first telecommunications satellite into orbit. *Russian spy satellite launched A Soyuz rocket carrying a secret military spy satellite has successfully blasted into orbit from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia’s far north. The launch came just a week after the failure of another Soyuz to place 19 satellites into orbit from Russia’s new Vostochny Cosmodrome. *The Science Report Scientists are keeping a close eye on a new bird flu strain developing in China.

*The universe before the big bang A new hypothesis is proposing to eliminate the need for cosmological spacetime singularity and with it the big bang which kicked of the cosmos 13.8 billion years ago. Instead, physicists suggest the universe’s current expansion phase was preceded by a big crunch contraction and possibly a bouncing universe with infinite prior cycles of expansion and contraction. *The next nearest planet to our solar system A temperate Earth-sized planet has been discovered just 11 light-years away. The new world named Ross 128 b is currently the second-closest temperate planet ever detected – the nearest being Proxima b which orbits the star Proxima Centauri some 4.25 light years from Earth. *Dawn explores Ceres’ interior evolution Scientists have begun studying the internal structure and composition of the dwarf planet Ceres finding a close relationship between its internal evolution and its surface features.

*Recurring Martian Streaks could be just sand rather than water A new study claims dark streaks often seen on the Sun facing slopes of Martian gullies and ravines could be caused by moving sand rather than melting sub-surface permafrost. The conclusions provide an alternative to previous speculation that the features – known as recurring slope lineae or RSLs – were caused by flowing meltwater from permafrost layers seeping out from the sides of gullies and ravines. *Could cosmic dust be transporting life between worlds? A new study suggests that life on Earth might have originated from biological particles brought to the planet in streams of cosmic dust particles. The findings would mean fast-moving flows of interplanetary dust that continually bombard Earth’s atmosphere could deliver tiny organisms from far-off worlds, or send Earth-based organisms to other planets, according to the research. *Listening for alien signals. Way back on August the 15th 1977 astronomers at Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope supporting the SETI Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence picked up a strange and very strong narrow band radio signal coming from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. Now a new campaign is underway to listen for alien signals – not from Sagittarius but from M-31 Andromeda. *NASA Launches NOAA Weather Satellite to Improve Forecasts The penultimate launch of a Delta II rocket has successfully placed the first of a new generation of advanced weather satellites into a Sun synchronous orbit. The Joint Polar Satellite System-1 or JPSS-1 blasted into deep black early morning skies from the Vandenberg Air Force base in California. *Maxus-9 provides a little microgravity The European Space Agency has launched a Maxus sounding rocket to see how microgravity effects microorganisms. The mission which blasted off from Sweden’s Esrange Space Center-- flew on a sub-orbital ballistic trajectory delivering its five onboard experiments to the edge of space. *The Science Report A new weapon in the fight against peanut allergies. The link between mother’s weight during pregnancy and life-threatening childbirth complications. Just like people new studies show Budgies sweat.

The findings reported in the journal Nature Astronomy show the star has a spin rate of 96.5 per cent of its angular velocity needed for break-up. *Another gravity wave discovery from merging black holes Scientists have confirmed another detection of gravitational waves generated by the collision of two stellar mass back holes. This latest detection involved the merger of two relatively light black holes, with 7 and 12 times the mass of the Sun -- a billion light years away. *Pluto’s freezer explained A new study of Pluto’s atmosphere may explain why the dwarf planet at the outer rim of the solar system is so much colder than predicted. The findings indicate a novel cooling mechanism controlled by haze particles could account for Pluto’s frigid atmosphere. *Pulsars ruled out of antimatter excess Scientists have ruled out two nearby pulsars as possible sources for a mysterious excess of anti-matter particles discovered near Earth. In 2008, astronomers observed an unexpectedly high number of positrons -- the anti-matter counterparts to electrons -- in orbit just a few hundred kilometres above the planet. *The Science Report Explaining why people with autism find it difficult to look directly at other people Claims salty diets may raise blood pressure by killing off gut bacteria.

The findings reported in the Astrophysical Journal represent one of the deepest ever observations into the 13.8 billion year old universe. *Cassini begins its final orbits around Saturn NASA's Cassini spacecraft has entered new territory in its final mission phase, the grand finale, as embarks on a set of ultra-close passes through Saturn's upper atmosphere with its final five orbits around the ringed world. Cassini completed the first of these five passes over Saturn on Monday. *The ancient Earth was a water world A new analysis of mineral grains indicates that the ancient Earth was most likely a water world -- barren, flat, and almost entirely under water with only a few small islands sticking out above the surface. The findings are based on a study of 4.4 billion year old zircon mineral grains preserved in sandstone rocks in the Jack Hills of Western Australia – which are among the oldest fragments of the Earth ever found. *High velocity stars speeding through the galaxy Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s Gaia satellite have discovered six high velocity stars that appear to have been flung out from the galactic centre by close encounters with the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole. The findings reported in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society could provide scientists with key information about some of the most obscure regions of the Milky Way galaxy. *Astronomers revised their projections about asteroid 2012 TC4 An asteroid which could have missed the Earth by as little as 6800 kilometres will now fly by the planet at a more comfortable distance of 44 thousand kilometres. The 15 to 30 metre wide space rock will pass the Earth on October 12. *The Science Report It’s official, 2016 was the hottest year on record, and climate change caused by anthropological greenhouse gas emissions is to blame. New study finds increasing vitamin B3 intake dramatically reduce the risk of miscarriage and multiple births defects. Humans may have left Africa and arrived in Southeast Asia 20,000 years earlier than previously thought. A new record for fastest light pulse.

Any Earth-sized world would most likely be unable to hold onto an atmosphere -- leaving its surface exposed to harmful stellar radiation and reducing its potential for habitability. *New clues in determining the size of a black hole Astronomers have discovered what could be an easy way to determine the size of a spiral galaxy’s supermassive black hole. They’ve found a direct relationship between the geometry of some types of spiral galaxies and the hidden supermassive black hole at their centres. *Calm seas on Titan could mean smooth landing for future space probes Astronomers have determined that the lakes and season the Saturnian moon Titan have few waves higher than a centimetre. The findings mean the giant moon probably has little wind – the primary driving force for waves on the oceans of Earth. *Huge storm on Neptune Astronomers have detected a massive storm as big as the Earth on the distant planet, Neptune. This massive 9000-kilometer wide storm system was found in Neptune’s equatorial region – a zone where no bright clouds have ever been seen before. *Skywatching on the road The neat little portable telescopes you can take with you when you’re traveling. *The Science Report Loneliness and social isolation poses a greater public health hazard than obesity Man-made climate change to cause 60,000 deaths globally in the year 2030 People who survive a stroke without early complications have increased risk of death, another stroke or heart attack for at least 5 years, Two remarkably different animal communities around two relatively nearby hydrothermal deep-sea vents Humans can identify emotions in the voices of all air-breathing vertebrates. Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including iTunes, audioBoom, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, etc.Email: SpaceTime@bitesz.com Join our mailing list at http://www.bitesz.com/join-our-mailing-list If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.

The study based on evidence of the iron 60 isotopes in meteorites indicate that a supernova shock wave is still the most-plausible origin story for explaining the short lived radioactive isotopes in our Solar System *A new window in the hunt for molecular signatures in deep space Astronomers have begun using one of the precursor radio telescopes for the Square Kilometre Array project to study molecular signatures which could lead to the detection of complex molecules that are precursors to life. The team are using the Murchison Widefield Array to undertake the observations focusing on the molecular gas and dust clouds from which new generations of stars are born. *New clues about superluminous supernovae Astronomers have detected an extraordinarily bright supernova in a surprising location. This supernova discovery challenges current ideas of how and where such super-charged supernovas occur. *Vega lofts two satellites on second launch this year An Arianespace Vega rocket has successfully launched two satellites into orbit. The mission blasted off into late night skies from the European Space Agency’s Kourou Space Port in French Guyana. *Western fears grow as Iran and North Korea conduct illegal missile tests Sanctions have been placed on both North Korea and Iran after the two rogue nations carried out new missile tests over the past few weeks. Most attention has focused on North Korea which has carried out numerous missile tests in recent months the other member of the so-called axis of evil – Iran -- has also continued its own missile program with a launch on July 27th in breach of United Nations security council resolution 2231. *The Science Report It may be too late to stop the planet heating up by two degrees, How drinking alcohol could improve your memory, A new expedition to an undersea continent east of Australia, New research into melanoma, How cats domesticated themselves – when they were ready. Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, Podbean, Radio Public, TuneIn Radio, google play, etc. Email: SpaceTime@bitesz.com Join our mailing list at http://www.bitesz.com/join-our-mailing-list If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.

The 40 metre wide asteroid won’t hit the Earth this time – but it will be about as close as possible while still passing safely. *The mystery of the cosmic cold spot deepens Astronomers are still at a loss to explain a giant cosmic cold spot in their large-scale maps of the universe. A new study has ruled out the most likely suspect – a gigantic supervoid – leaving the door open for more exotic explanations like a collision between universes. *Evidence the Higgs turns into quarks There’s new evidence that the Higgs Boson decays into smaller elemental quark particles. Physicists with the Atlas experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider are reporting the decay of the Higgs into a pair of bottom quarks – one of six types or flavours of quark particle. *New crew arrive on station A Russian Soyuz rocket has blasted into orbit carrying three new crew members bound for the international space station.

New Satellite readings indicate that numerous volcanic deposits spread across the lunar surface contain unusually high amounts of water compared with surrounding terrains. The findings mean there could be as much water in the lunar mantle was what there is in mantle basalts on Earth. *Dark Matter more likely to be cold rather than fuzzy Scientists trying understand dark matter now believe it’s far more likely to be big and cold rather than light and fuzzy. The new findings are based on a study of the intergalactic medium – the stuff that fills the vast, largely empty space between galaxies. *Countdown to Cassini's Grand Finale After nearly 13 years in orbit around Saturn, the international Cassini–Huygens mission is now reaching the end of its journey. Cassini’s final dramatic suicidal death plunge into Saturn's atmosphere will occur on September 15. *Jupiter Great Red Spot in infrared As scientists continue to examine data from the recent Juno spacecraft flyby over Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot, astronomers have used the infrared imager on the Gemini North Telescope in Hawaii to study the solar system’s largest planet in a new light-- revealing particles over a range of different altitudes.

The unexpected findings contradict prevailing opinions that the very early universe would have been undergoing a period of rapid growth turning huge clouds of pristine molecular gas into stars and galaxies at rates thousands of times greater than what we see in the local universe today.*New particle that’s its own antimatter particle After an 80 year long quest, scientists have finally discovered the Majorana fermion, a particle that’s its own antiparticle. The discovery was made during a series of lab experiments on exotic materials. *Jupiter’s Great Red Spot likely a massive heat source Jupiter’s Great Red Spot may be the mysterious heat source behind the planet’s surprisingly high upper atmospheric temperatures. The findings could explain why temperatures in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere are comparable to those found at Earth, yet Jupiter is more than five times further away from the Sun than the Earth is. *India’s new Earth Observations satellite India has launched a new Earth observation satellite.

The star -- called EBLM J0555-57Ab -- was detected in a triple star system located some 600 light years away in the Southern Hemisphere constellation Pictor the painter. *New brown dwarf discovered Citizen scientists have helped NASA identify a never before seen Brown Dwarf. The discovery is the first was made as part of NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project. *Why black holes only come two sizes A new study may have finally answered a question which has been puzzling astronomers and physicists for half a century – namely why black holes only seem to come in two sizes -- stellar mass and supermassive. What’s happened to all the intermediate-sized black holes – those with a few thousand times the Sun’s mass. Now a new study has come up with a possible answer – time. *Strange signals from outer space Astronomers at the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico have detected strange signals originating from a nearby star system. The mysterious radio signals appear to be coming from Ross 128 a small red dwarf star about 11 light years away. *The Larsen C trillion tonne iceberg A one trillion tonne iceberg - one of the biggest ever recorded -- has calved away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica. The 5800 square kilometre chunk of ice – now named A68 – is twice the size of the Australian Capital Territory, as large as the US state of Delaware and contains twice the volume of Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes. *SpaceX launches its heaviest geostationary orbital payload yet A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has successfully launched the heaviest payload ever carried by the company into geostationary orbit.

The imager aboard NASA’s Juno mission snapped pictures of the most iconic feature of the solar system’s largest planetary inhabitant during its July 10 flyby. *Astronomers probe the swirling halo of a spectacular starburst galaxy Astronomers have probed a nearby starburst galaxy which is making stars five times faster than the Milky Way. The unprecedented study focused on the Sculptor Galaxy NGC 253 which is 11.5 million light-years from Earth and undergoing a period of intense star formation. *More evidence supporting the likely existence of a ninth planet There’s been more evidence supporting the likely existence of a ninth planet in our solar system. The Hypothesis for a potential planet nine in the dark outer reaches of the solar system first came to light in 2014 following the discovery of unusual orbits for several trans Neptunian objects in the Kuiper belt. Then in 2016 astronomers concluded the strange orbits were likely caused by the gravitational perturbations of a large body -- about four times size and ten times the mass of Earth. *Soyuz-2.1А Launch Vehicle with KANOPUS-V-IK Satellite Russia has launched a Soyuz rocket carrying some 73 satellites into orbit in one go. The Soyuz 2.1A rocket blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in in the central Asian republic of Kazakhstan. Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, etc. Email: SpaceTime@bitesz.com Join our mailing list at http://www.bitesz.com/join-our-mailing-list  Learn more about your ad choices.

New data indicates MU69 may actually be less than 20 kilometres wide. Furthermore it may actually be a binary system or even a swarm of smaller bodies left from the time when the planets first formed. *First ever supermassive black hole binary discovered Astronomers have for the first time ever discovered two supermassive black holes orbiting each other in a single galaxy. The detection provides new clues about the process of galaxy mergers and galactic evolution. *Earth's magnetic field reveals one of its secrets Scientists have identified previously unknown patterns in the Earth's magnetic field which seems to evolve over time scales on the order of a thousand years. The pattern -- known as paleomagnetic secular variation -- provides new insights into how the planetary magnetic field works by adding a measure of predictability to changes in the field not previously known. *Russia’s busy launch schedule Russia has been making up for lost time – and missions – since last year’s grounding of its Proton Rocket with no less than six launches in recent months. Included in the manifest was a Soyuz flight carrying crew to the International Space Station and the launch of a top secret Russian military satellite. Here are the videos for the Soyuz launch story… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdS7xrP6xG8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8ykwb0X0m0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB4cbr9M5aE Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, etc. Help support SpaceTime : The SpaceTime with Stuart Gary merchandise shop.

The new study claims a large population of very fast moving stars in the Milky Way, originally started out in the neighbouring satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud. *Why quasars suddenly twinkle violently Gas filaments surrounding stars like the strands of a pompom appear to be causing quasars to suddenly begin to violently twinkle. The findings reported in the Astrophysical Journal could finally provide scientists answer for the 30 year old mystery. *China’s new super rocket the Long March 5 experiences a major crash and burn The launch of one of China’s most powerful rocket’s the Long March 5 has ended in failure with the launch vehicle experiencing what Chinese media would only describe as an anomaly about six minutes into the flight. The mission – which launched from the Wenchang Space Centre on Hainan Island off the southern coast of China -- was the second only orbital flight for the new launch vehicle -- which was to be a showcase for Beijing’s growing space ambitions. *Seventh Arianespace launch of the year Arianespace has successfully undertaken its seventh launch this year. The Ariane 5 carried two telecommunications satellites into orbit from the European Space Agency’s Kourou space port in French Guiana. *Dragon returns The SpaceX Dragon CRS 11 capsule has splashed down successfully in the North Pacific Ocean following a month long stay docked to the International Space Station. It was the first time a previously used Dragon capsule had undertaken a second mission – an achievement which will dramatically improve the economics of commercial spaceflight. *Why humans are hard wired to see the haunting face on Mars The now famous Face on Mars is one the most iconic images ever taken of the surface of the red planet. It’s now well understood to be nothing more than the result of the interplay of lights and shadows on an eroded hill. But the science behind why people see it as a humanoid face is fascinating. The video for the Ariane 5 launch is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiwuB0YSN0k The video for Dragon return is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUvUomjB5Xo Join our mailing list at http://www.bitesz.com/join-our-mailing-list  #astronomy #space #science #technology #news #astrophysics #NASA  Learn more about your ad choices.

The blast devastated 2150 square kilometers of forest leaving some 80 million trees flattened and reduced to matchwood and lit up the night skies in London -- a third of the way around the globe. *The effects of a major asteroid impact on Earth A new study has concluded that when a big asteroid hits the Earth violent winds and shock waves are likely to cause the greatest number of fatalities. The study explored seven effects associated with asteroid impacts--heat, pressure shock waves, flying debris, tsunamis, wind blasts, seismic shaking and cratering. *NASA’s mission to the metallic world of Psyche NASA’s Discovery mission to a unique metallic asteroid, has been moved up by a year with the launch now slated for the middle of 2022. The earlier launch date means a more efficient trajectory – bringing the planned arrival time forward to 2026 -- four years earlier than the original timeline. *Einstein right again A little more than 100 years after Professor Albert Einstein developed his theory of general relativity, researchers have finally been able to use its laws to directly determine the mass of a white dwarf star by the gravitational bending of light. In a 1936 paper in Science, Einstein lamented that there was no hope of directly determining a white dwarf’s mass by this method – even though theoretically it should be possible. *Japanese H-IIA satellite launch A Japanese H2A rocket has blasted into orbit carrying the nation’s second Quasi-Zenith Satellite navigation system spacecraft. Lift off for the Michibiki-2 satellite occurred under cloudy skies at the Tanegashima Space Centre south of Tokyo. Email: SpaceTime@bitesz.com Join our mailing list at http://www.bitesz.com/join-our-mailing-list If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.

The study challenges sciences current understanding of how massive galaxies form and evolve early in the history of the universe. *New dark matter hypothesis Astronomers trying to understand dark matter may have a lot more work to do if a new hypothesis -- claiming there is more than one type of dark matter particle – is correct. Dark matter is a mysterious invisible substance thought to make up some 80 percent of all the matter in the universe. *How the Milky Way Galaxy makes antimatter Faint supernova explosions -- caused by the merging of dead stars known as white dwarfs -- could explain how most of the antimatter in the Milky Way galaxy is created. The findings also mean the excess of gamma ray emissions detected in the galactic centre can be explained without the need to postulate dark matter annihilation scenarios to explain the observations. *New mission to study the space between the stars NASA is today slated to launch its newest mission to study the interstellar medium -- the space between the stars. NASA’s new mission called the Colorado High-resolution Echelle Stellar Spectrograph -- or CHESS – is slated to blast off from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico aboard a Black Brant IX suborbital sounding rocket. *China launches its first space based x-ray telescope China has launched its first space based X-ray telescope designed to survey the Milky Way and study celestial x-ray sources such as neutron stars, black holes and supernovae. The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope was flown into orbit aboard a Long March 4B rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the Gobi Desert of inner Mongolia. Email: SpaceTime@bitesz.com Join our mailing list at http://www.bitesz.com/join-our-mailing-list If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.

The study also found some tantalizing hints that even far more distant supernovae may have changed human evolution forever. *Hundreds of new planets discovered Scientists using NASA's planet hunting Kepler space telescope have announced the discovery of hundreds of new exoplanets – planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. The 219 new exoplanetary candidates, brings the total number discovered by Kepler to a staggering 4 thousand and 34. *Quark-gluon plasma detected during proton-proton collisions. Scientists studying collisions in the world’s largest atom smasher have detected hints of an extreme state of matter called a Quark Gluon plasma – some of the first material to form in the big bang 13.8 billion years ago. The observation is the first time Quark-Gluon plasma has been created through proton-proton collisions. *Stratolaunch shows off its new mega aircraft Stratolaunch has shown off its new mega plane – a giant twin fuselage six engined aircraft designed to launch rockets into space. The 227 tonne aircraft has a wingspan of 117 metres and an all up take-off weight of 545 tonnes. Email: SpaceTime@bitesz.com Join our mailing list at http://www.bitesz.com/join-our-mailing-list  Learn more about your ad choices.

The new findings mean the history and evolution of the solar system may have been somewhat different from what scientists previously thought. *The volcano that almost wiped out the human species still alive and active A new study has concluded that the Toba super volcano which almost wiped out the human species 74 thousand years ago – is still alive and active today. The report has warned that the rare but spectacular eruptions of super volcanoes experience ongoing, smaller eruptions for tens of thousands of years after the initial event. *New evidence of frost on Moon's surface Scientists using data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have identified bright areas in craters near the Moon's south pole cold enough to have lunar surface frost. The new findings are based on an analysis that combined surface temperatures with information about how much light is reflected off the moon's surface. *No Universe without the big bang Professor Albert Einstein’s relativity theory tells us that the curvature of spacetime was infinite at the time of the big bang 13.8 billion years ago. The problem is sciences mathematical understanding breaks down at that point of singularity. Now scientists have tried to take that a step further. *Ariane 5 launches its heaviest payload ever An Ariane 5 rocket has carried its heaviest yet payload launch into orbit. Arianespace flight VA237 blasted off from the European Space Agency’s Kourou space port in French Guiana carrying the ViaSat-2 and Eutelsat-172B telecommunications satellites into geostationary transfer orbits. The Ariane rocket launch video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy_lrhoyxtc  Learn more about your ad choices.

Earlier observations using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile indicated the presence of an exoplanet in the Luhman 16AB system. *Another challenge to the Standard Model of particle physics Scientists are puzzled by the results of three particle physics experiments which are providing new hints of new physics beyond the Standard Model – the foundation of sciences understanding of the universe. The new studies are finding signs contradicting a key part of the Standard Model known as lepton universality. *India launches its new heavy lift rocket. India has launched its most powerful ever rocket the GSLV Mark 3 which will one day carry India’s first Manned spacecraft. The mission also marked the heaviest payload ever launched by India — the three point two tonne GSAT-19 telecommunications satellite. *Flat Earth fruitcakes When people talk about the Earth being flat – most educated people know their joking -- after all, the concept of a spherical Earth dates back well over two thousand years. Yet despite all the science, the photographic evidence and even the sight of ships moving from view over the horizon, there are some who really believe the Earth is flat and that we are all victims of a giant conspiracy. Here’s the URL to the Indian rocket launch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgcRbrgMd0k Email: SpaceTime@bitesz.com Join our mailing list at http://www.bitesz.com/join-our-mailing-list  Learn more about your ad choices.

While the discovery is far too small to provide any real proof of an imbalance between the way matter and antimatter act, it might provide the first tantalizing clues of some new physics beyond the Standard Model -- to explain why the universe appears to be made up mostly of matter -- rather than antimatter. *Detecting new types of gravitational waves A team of astrophysicists have proposed that permanent scars left in the fabric of SpaceTime by gravitational waves could be used to study exotic hypothetical cosmic events such as primordial black holes and one-dimensional defects in space known as cosmic strings. The study identifies a new concept which the authors are calling orphan memory. *Cassini finds Saturn’s moon might have been tipped over Saturn’s ice moon Enceladus may have been knocked onto its side in an ancient collision early in its history. The new findings are based on observations by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft which found evidence that the moon’s spin axis -- the line through the north and south poles -- has reoriented, possibly due to a collision with a smaller body, such as an asteroid. *New discovered planet hotter than most stars Astronomers have found a Jupiter sized exoplanet hotter than the surface of most stars. A report in the journal Nature indicates that the planet KELT-9b has a day side surface temperature of 4,600 Kelvin – only 1200 degrees cooler than the surface of the Sun. *Expedition 51 return to Earth The two man Expedition 51 crew from the International Space Station have returned safely to Earth aboard their Soyuz MS-03 capsule. Their spacecraft undocked 3 hours and 20 minutes before touchdown as the orbiting outpost flew at 28 thousand kilometres per hour 400 kilometres above the Mongolian-Chinese border.  If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.

Until now astronomers were fairly sure our galaxy -- the Milky Way -- was located on one of the filaments. But now a new study claims we’re actually in a void. *Heavy rains on Mars A new study claims heavy rain on Mars reshaped the red planet’s surface carving out valley’s and river channels billions of years ago. The findings show changes in the Martian atmosphere made it rain harder and harder and form bigger drops. *X-37B space shuttle returns from record setting flight A United States Air Force X-37B space shuttle has returned to Earth following a record breaking two year long mission in orbit. The black and white winged spaceplane was launched way back on May 20th 2015. *The Square Kilometre Array’s new window on the Universe Johnathan Nally looks at how the world’s largest radio telescope—the Square Kilometre Array—will change astronomy and the way we see the universe forever.  If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.

The findings cast doubt on previous ideas that the glow might be evidence of dark matter -- a mysterious invisible substance that accounts for 85 percent of all matter in the universe -- but which has so far evaded detection. *Gravitationally lensed supernova Astronomers have discovered their first gravitationally lensed thermonuclear supernova. The new observations provide new ways of studying the accelerating expansion of the Universe due to a mysterious force called dark energy – as well as gravity and distribution of a mysterious substance called dark matter across the cosmos. *Cassini finds big empty close to Saturn NASA’s Cassini scientists say the region between Saturn and its rings is relatively dust free. However, the discovery made during Cassini’s first plunge inside the rings has come as somewhat of a surprise. *SpaceX launches its first spy satellite SpaceX has successfully launched its first top secret spy satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office. It was a case of second time lucky for the classified payload after a faulty first stage liquid oxygen temperature sensor detected an anomaly the previous day resulting in the launch being scrubbed.

As well as provide unrivalled close-ups of the rings – the flight through this previously unexplored region could finally help astronomers answer the nagging question of the true age of Saturn’s spectacular rings. *Hints of possible new physics beyond the Standard Model Researchers may have just discovered the first possible hints of new physics -- which could forge the first significant cracks in the Standard model of particle physics -- that forms the foundations of sciences understanding of the universe. The new findings could be an early indicator of an inconsistency which could take science beyond the Standard Model. *Ripples in the Cosmic web Astronomers have made the first ever measurements of small-scale ripples in the primeval hydrogen gas which makes up the large scale cosmic web like structure of the universe. Researchers used rare double quasars to measure variations in the structure of the cosmic web 11 billion light years away. *May Skywatch We check out the night skies of May on SkyWatch where the highlight of the month will be the annual Eta-Aquarids meteor shower which is generated as the Earth passes through the dust and debris trail left behind by Halley’s Comet.

As part of its end game mission managers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California have begun sending the probe on riskier more adventurous missions. *Could Fast Radio bursts be powering alien ships The search for extraterrestrial intelligence has looked for many different signs of alien life, from radio broadcasts to laser flashes, without success. However, a new study that the mysterious phenomena known as fast radio bursts could be evidence of advanced alien technology. *Scientists make the case to restore Pluto's planet status A group of scientists are proposing a new definition for a planet. The current definition was formulated after observations indicated larger worlds existed beyond Pluto in the dark reaches of the Kuiper Belt. *Dinosaur asteroid spawned a mountain range taller than the Himalayas’ A new study claims the asteroid impact 66 million years ago -- which led to the extinction of all dinosaurs other than birds – also spawned a giant mountain range taller than the Himalayan Mountains today. New computer simulations of the Chicxulub impact event show the initial rebound of the Earth crust from the impact of the 10 to 15 kilometre wide asteroid would have temporarily produced what scientists call a ring peak – a mountain range inside the crater. Similar structures are seen commonly seen in craters on the Moon as well as on other bodies throughout the solar system. *Launch of Delta IV Rocket Carrying WGS-9 US Air Force Satellite A Delta 4 rocket has successfully blasted off from the Cape Canaveral air force base in Florida carrying a new military satellite into orbit.

The findings mean dark matter – which makes up around 80 percent of all the matter in the universe today – was far less influential in massive, star-forming galaxies during the peak epoch of galaxy formation, 10 billion years ago. *How ghostly neutrino particles could improve sciences understanding of the universe A new study claims one type of neutrino may comprise exactly equal amounts of two other types of neutrinos. The findings by scientists working with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole could help physicists better understand the universe. *Earth probably began with a solid shell A new study claims Earth probably began as a single solid shell which broke apart later to form the planet’s characteristic individual tectonic plates. The findings could help settle a longstanding debate about the origins of plate tectonic on Earth. *Dragon returns to Earth, concluding tenth resupply mission. The SpaceX CRS-10 Dragon cargo ship has splashed down safely in the North Pacific Ocean off the Californian coast. 320 kilometres south west of Long Beach. The capsule was loaded with over two tonnes of experiments and equipment being returned to Earth from the International Space Station. *New Telecommunications satellite launched Following an earlier delay due to high winds, SpaceX has successfully launched a new telecommunications satellite into orbit. The spectacular night time launch from space launch complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Centre at the Cape Canaveral Air Force base in Florida was the third Falcon 9 launch of the year and the second off the historic former Space Shuttle and Saturn 5 Apollo moon rocket era launch pad.

The findings imply that the detection of gravitational waves generated by colliding intermediate mass black holes can’t be used to imply the existence of huge populations of primordial black holes early in the history of the universe. *New evidence of a water rich history on Mars New research on Martian meteorites indicates that the red planet may have been a far wetter place than previously thought. The findings provide the first clear evidence that a mineral commonly found in Martian meteorites which was considered proof of an ancient dry environment on Mars -- may have originally been a hydrogen-containing mineral -- that could indicate a far more water-rich history for the Red Planet. *Stephen Hawking’s warning of alien invasion Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking says while he believes intelligent alien life probably does exist elsewhere in the universe – making contact with them could be as disastrous for humans as Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the new world was for native Americans. He made the comments during the launch of his new documentary Stephen Hawking's Favourite Places. *New American Spy satellite launched A new top secret spy satellite has been successfully launched into orbit for America’s National Reconnaissance Office.

Latest observations indicate the stars – which form a contact binary system known as KIC 9832227 -- have already merged their atmospheres and taken on a peanut like shape. *Deepest X-ray image ever reveals new secrets about black holes An unparalleled image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is giving astronomers the best look yet at the growth of black holes over billions of years beginning soon after the Big Bang. The observations contain the highest concentration of supermassive black holes ever seen, equivalent to about 5,000 objects. *Star heading for as flyby of our solar system. The European Space Agency’s Gaia mission has identified a star which will come close enough to our solar system to affect the orbits of comets in the Oort Cloud – the hypothetical sphere of comets and icy debris caught in the Sun’s gravity well surrounding the solar system. The star -- known as Gliese 710 -- will pass within 26 billion kilometres or 72 light days of the Earth in 1.35 million years’ time. *Our galaxy’s black hole flinging Jupiter sized projectiles in to space Astronomers have concluded that the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy the Milky Way is ejecting giant planet sized balls of plasma every few thousand years. The plasma balls are the superheated remains of stars that have wandered too close to the monstrous black hole and were ripped apart in gravitational tidal disruption events. *China undertakes first launch for 2017 China has carried out its first launch for the year sending a Long March 3b rocket into space with a new experimental military telecommunications satellite.

They’ve narrowed down a likely source to a distant ancient dwarf galaxy some three billion light-years away – and possibly to a highly magnetic type of neutron star known as a magnetar. *Two new missions to explore early solar system NASA has selected two missions designed to open new windows on one of the earliest eras in the history of our solar system -- a time less than 10 million years after the birth of the Sun. The missions, known as Lucy and Psyche will fly in 2021 and 2013 respectively. *Two more Near Earth objects discovered NASA's NEOWISE mission has discovered another two previously unknown Near Earth Objects or NEOs heading for our celestial neighbourhood, including one that further blurs the line between asteroids and comets. One is an object called 2016 WF9 in an orbit that takes it on a scenic tour of our solar system, while the other is a new comet named C/2016 U1 NEOWISE which has a good chance of becoming visible through binoculars. *Dark Matter pioneer astronomer Vera Rubin dies at 88 One of the great pioneers of Dark Matter – astronomer Vera Rubin has passed away aged 88. Rubin’s pioneering research measuring galactic rotation curves proved there was something fundamentally wrong with sciences understanding of the physics of the universe. Either there was a serious flaw in the laws of gravity or there was a great deal of unseen mass out there -- needed to explain observations of the apparent movement of galaxies in clusters. We now know that missing mass is Dark Matter. *Military satellite launched on Delta IV rocket One of the world’s most advanced military telecommunications satellites has been successfully launched into orbit.

Scientists call this mysterious event cosmological inflation -- the problem is they have no real idea what it actually is – and what physical mechanisms drove it. *More mystery surrounding an already strange star Last month we reported how astronomers think they may finally have solved the mystery surrounding a weird erratically flickering and dimming star -- whose strange behaviour -- sparked speculation that it could have been our first sign of an advanced alien civilization. However, a new study has reopened the mystery. *Saturn’s moon Dione has a subsurface ocean New data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has confirmed the existence of another subsurface ocean on a moon in the outer solar system. Cassini has discovered the ocean under the surface of the Saturnian moon Dione. *Nobel Prize in physics goes to topology in materials This year’s Nobel prize for physics has gone to David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz for revealing the secrets of exotic matter. The trio used advanced mathematical methods to study unusual phases, or states, of matter, such as superconductors, superfluids and thin magnetic films. If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.

The findings are based on a series of small previously undetected cliff-like tectonic structures on the planet’s surface known as thrust fault scarps. *Rosetta’s grand finale After a journey lasting over 12 and a half years Rosetta’s mission is finally over. Rosetta discovered over 60 molecules, 34 of which had never been found before on a comet. These include oxygen and the amino acid glycine, a basic building block of life. It also confirmed that Earth’s water probably didn’t come from comets – but rather asteroids. *Solar Minimum on its way Over the last few days AR2597 -- the last remaining sunspot group on the surface of our local star the Sun – disappeared. The blank solar face – the fourth this year -- is a sign that the Sun’s 11 year solar cycle is now heading towards Solar Minimum. *Skywatch October Well you’ve probably heard of a blue moon – the rare occurrence of a second full Moon in the one calendar month – but have you ever heard of a black moon. *New super heavy lift launch vehicle Blue Origin have announced details of a new super heavy lift launch vehicle. Blue Origin have leased Space Launch Complex 36 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida for their new rocket which could be flying by 2020. If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.

The new findings show that recently discovered lakes and streams appeared on the red planet’s northern Arabia Terra region roughly a billion years after a well-documented, earlier era of wet conditions on ancient Mars. *Ceres pyramid mystery solved A mysterious pyramid structure discovered by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft on the surface of the asteroid Ceres is now believed to be a recently active cryovolcano. The findings indicate the volcano which has been named Ahuna Mons – has only a few impact craters on its flanks -- indicating it was formed fairly recently -- within the last couple of hundred million years. *September Equinox The September equinox will take place at 21 minutes after midnight on the morning of Friday September 23rd Australian Eastern Standard time. The day marks the point in Earth’s orbit around the Sun when the planet’s rotational axial tilt means the Sun will appear to rise and set exactly due East to someone standing on the equator. *China launches new space station China has successfully launched a new space station. The Tiangong 2 was blasted into orbit aboard a Long March 2F rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the Gobi desert. *Arianespace launches five satellites on Vega rocket Arianespace has successfully launched a Vega rocket carrying five Earth observation satellites into orbit. The three stage solid fuelled rocket blasted into to the black late night skies above the European Space Agency’s Kourou space port in French Guiana carrying PeruSat-1 and four small SkySat satellites for Google. *Perth Observatory birthday celebrations The Perth Observatory is celebrating its 120th birthday on Saturday.

The half kilometre wide space rock has a 1 in 2500 chance of impacting the Earth in the 22nd century *Has the alien megastructure star mystery been solved? Astronomers think they may finally have solved the mystery surrounding a weird erratically flickering and dimming star -- whose strange behaviour -- sparked speculation that it could have been our first sign of an advanced alien civilization. Astronomers now think that what they’re actually seeing is a new stage of stellar evolution in newly formed stars. *Mystery SETI signal earthly rather than alien A mystery signal detected by Russian astronomers working for SETI Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence has been identified as human rather than alien in origin. After additional processing and analysis, astronomers think the signal is most probably terrestrial in origin. *Annular solar eclipse over Africa Africa played centre stage on the morning of September first to a spectacular annular solar eclipse with the Moon passing directly in front of the Sun giving the appearance of leaving a ring of fire over the continent for several seconds. The eclipse was annular rather than total because the Moon was a bit further away from the Earth and so didn’t cover all of the Sun’s face. Learn more about your ad choices.
