Astronomers discover Earth-size exoplanet with potential volcanoes - and more space news

In this episode of SpaceTime with Stuart Gary: 

- Blue Origin selected to build NASA's next lunar lander: NASA has chosen Blue Origin to develop the Blue Moon lander concept, which will transport crews and supplies between lunar orbit and the Moon's surface. This partnership aims to support NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon.
- Searching for black holes near Earth: Astronomers have discovered compelling evidence of a rare type of black hole within Messier 4, the closest globular star cluster to Earth, located approximately 6,000 light-years away. This finding sheds light on the existence of black holes in our cosmic neighborhood.
- Confirmation of a vast ancient ocean on Mars: Scientists analyzing data from China's Zhurong Mars rover have provided further confirmation that a massive ocean once covered significant portions of Mars' northern hemisphere lowlands. This discovery contributes to our understanding of Mars' past and its potential for habitability.
- The Science Report: Research indicates that deep ocean circulation around Antarctica is slowing down, aligning with predictions made by climate change models. The presence of micro and nano-plastics is now impacting global food safety and security. A study finds no discernible difference in the brain structure of gender-diverse teenagers compared to their cisgender counterparts. A skeptical examination of optical illusions often mistaken as proof of paranormal activity. To listen to this episode and access show links, visit https://spacetimewithstuartgary.com/listen.

S26E71: What made the brightest cosmic explosion of all time so exceptional? & Other Space News

Welcome to episode 82 of the 26th series of SpaceTime with Stuart Gary. In this episode, we delve into the surprising discoveries, alarming incidents, and intriguing developments in the world of astronomy and space science. Here's a sneak peek: ### 1. Discovery of the Impossible Planet In an unbelievable discovery, astronomers have unearthed the existence of a planet that, against all odds, is alive and kicking. Located at a distance of 520 light-years from us, this celestial object, 8 Ursae Minoris b, is in orbit around a red giant star - a star that should have devoured it long ago. ### 2. Sun's Powerful Solar Flare Our very own star, the Sun, has just discharged a potent X 1 class solar flare. The X-class flares are renowned for being the most ferocious and potent type of solar flares that can be observed. ### 3. Cancellation of Australia's Satellite Program In a shocking turn of events, the Albanese government in Australia has decided to terminate a multi-billion-dollar satellite Earth resources program, following the scrapping of millions of dollars in funding for rocket launch facilities in the country last month. ### 4. Launch of a Covert Spy Satellite Adding to the air of mystery, the massive United Launch Alliance Delta IV heavy, has undertaken its second-last flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Its payload? A highly classified spy satellite. ### 5. The Science Report Round-up - The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has officially announced that we are now in the midst of an El Niño event. - A new record has been set for Planet Earth’s average temperature - an alarming 17.18 degrees Celsius. - A widely used artificial sweetener is now on the brink of being labeled as a potential carcinogen. - Lastly, we bring a skeptic's guide on how scientific progress is gradually putting an end to UFOlogy. Stay tuned for an engaging and enlightening episode on the latest in the cosmos. Dive deep into the mysteries of the universe with Stuart Gary on SpaceTime!
