Скачать или смотреть From Kuiper Belt Discoveries to Space Burial Innovations: Your Daily Space Update

In this episode, we explore a diverse array of captivating stories from the far reaches of our solar system to pressing challenges in Earth's orbit. We kick off with a critical discussion on satellite disposal, weighing the merits of designing for demise versus non-demise as mega constellations like Starlink proliferate. The environmental implications of each approach are examined, highlighting the need for a sustainable solution.Next, we journey to the Kuiper Belt, where astronomers from Princeton University have uncovered a new structure known as the "inner kernel" of objects. This discovery challenges our understanding of the solar system's formation and reignites the search for the elusive Planet Nine.We then celebrate Rocket Lab's remarkable achievements over the past year, including 21 successful launches of their Electron rocket and the introduction of their innovative Neutron rocket, designed to compete with industry giants.As we mark the end of an era, we pay tribute to NASA's Terra satellite, which has provided invaluable data on Earth's climate and environment for 26 years.The James Webb Space Telescope surprises us with findings on the super Earth TOI561b, revealing it to be a dynamic volcanic world with a rich atmosphere, defying previous assumptions about such close proximity to its star.Finally, we delve into the unique business of space memorials with Celestis, which is set to launch its most ambitious mission yet—a permanent orbit around the sun for cremated remains and DNA, creating a man-made comet that will journey through the cosmos indefinitely.Join us as we unravel these intriguing stories and more in this episode of Astronomy Daily!00:00 – **Give us 10 minutes to give you the universe
