Quantum Time Arrows, Ancient Martian Rocks, and the Lunar Trailblazer Launch: S28E25

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 25

The Astronomy, Space and Science News Podcast

Two Arrows of Time, Ancient Rocks on Mars, and NASA's Lunar Trailblazer Mission

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into a groundbreaking discovery by physicists revealing the possibility of two distinct arrows of time emerging from the quantum realm. This fascinating research challenges our conventional understanding of time, suggesting that it may not flow in just one direction, but could theoretically move both forwards and backwards under certain quantum conditions.

NASA's Perseverance Rover Finds Ancient Martian Rocks

We also highlight the latest findings from NASA's Perseverance rover, which has uncovered new types of rocks that may be the oldest material ever found on Mars. As the rover continues its Crater Rim campaign, it is providing critical insights into the geological history of the Red Planet and the potential for ancient habitable environments.

Countdown to NASA's Lunar Trailblazer Mission

Additionally, we preview the upcoming launch of NASA's Lunar Trailblazer mission, designed to search for water ice on the Moon. The mission aims to map the distribution and form of lunar water, contributing vital information for future manned and robotic missions to the Moon.
