Cosmic Radio Mysteries, Moon’s Water Origins, and IO’s Volcanic Heart: S28E08

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 08 Origins of Fast Radio Bursts Unveiled Astronomers have pinpointed the source of fast radio bursts, specifically linking them to magnetars, a type of highly magnetic neutron star. This breakthrough, reported in Nature, was achieved by analysing the scintillation of FRB2022 1022A, indicating its proximity to a magnetar within 10,000 kilometres. This discovery sheds light on the mysterious phenomenon, suggesting that all fast radio bursts might originate from similarly extreme environments. Lunar Water's Terrestrial Origins A groundbreaking study reveals that much of the Moon's water may have originated from early Earth. By examining Apollo-era lunar samples with a high precision triple oxygen isotope technique, scientists discovered a dual heritage of lunar water, tracing back to both proto-Earth and cometary impacts. This finding offers new insights into the Earth-Moon system's formation 4.5 billion years ago. Juno's Insights into IO's Volcanism NASA's Juno mission has uncovered that Jupiter's moon IO's volcanoes are powered by individual magma chambers rather than a global magma ocean. This revelation, stemming from Juno's close flybys and gravitational measurements, highlights the unique geological dynamics of the solar system's most volcanically active body. The findings provide a deeper understanding of tidal flexing and its effects on celestial bodies. 00:00 Astronomers have finally narrowed down the source of those mysterious fast radio bursts 08:01 New study shows much of moon's water originates on early proto Earth 10:32 Scientists with NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter have discovered volcanoes on IO 16:33 There now seems to be more carbon stored in human made stuff than natural world 18:41 Study shows each of the Disney princesses could have exposed themselves to illnesses 19:40 Alaska Triangle has highest recorded numbers of paranormal incidents in the world www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (https://www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com) www.bitesz.com (https://www.bitesz.com) 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.
