Discovering the Moon’s True Age, Perseverance’s Ascent, and the Enigma of Pink Sands: S27E154

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 154 * The Moon's Age: A New Perspectiv e New research suggests the Moon may be much older than previously believed. Evidence indicates the Moon's crust underwent extensive remelting around 4.35 billion years ago, obscuring its true age. This study proposes the Moon could be as old as 4.53 billion years, challenging past estimates and offering a new understanding of its formation. * Perseverance Rover's New Horizons NASA's Perseverance rover has reached the top of Jezero Crater's rim, marking a significant milestone in its mission. With the climb complete, the rover is set to explore new geological terrains, potentially uncovering some of the oldest rocks in the solar system. This new phase promises to deepen our understanding of Mars' ancient history. * Unveiling South Australia's Pink Sands Mystery The discovery of deep pink sands on South Australian beaches has provided insights into the tectonic history of the region. These findings, published in Communications Earth and Environment, suggest the existence of an ancient Antarctic mountain range, offering clues about the geological past of the supercontinent Gondwana. 00:00 This is space Time Series 27, Episode 154 for broadcast on 23 December 2024 00:47 New research suggests Earth's moon may be an awful lot older than previously thought 07:05 NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has completed its long climb to summit 10:51 Deep pink sands washing up on South Australian beaches reveal previously unknown mountain range 19:05 Garnets are a metamorphic mineral which grows when deep in crust 20:51 Ambulance and taxi drivers have lowest death rate from Alzheimer's 22:57 New study finds men are quicker to buy drinks when women are scarce www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (https://www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com) www.bitesz.com (https://www.bitesz.com) 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn (https://www.bitesz.com/nordvpn) .

Martian Mineral Mysteries, Australia’s Spaceport Setback, and Antimatter Breakthrough: S27E153

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 153 * The Mysterious Origins of Martian Minerals A new study suggests that some Martian minerals may have formed in liquid carbon dioxide rather than water. While traditional views link Mars' dry river channels to past water presence, this research indicates that under ancient Martian conditions, liquid CO2 could have been a significant factor in shaping the planet's geological features. This finding, published in Nature Geoscience, adds a new layer to the ongoing debate about Mars' liquid past and its implications for the planet's habitability. * Australia's Arnhem Space Centre Shuttered Equatorial Launch Australia has announced the closure of the Arnhem Space Centre due to unresolved lease issues with the Northern Land Council. Originally envisioned as a hub for commercial space launches, the project faced multiple delays over land agreements. Plans are now underway to relocate operations to Queensland, aiming to establish the Australian Space Centre, Geberic which promises significant economic benefits and indigenous employment opportunities. *Discovery of the Heaviest Antimatter Particle Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have identified what could be the heaviest antimatter particle ever detected. Using the ALICE experiment, researchers observed anti-hyperhelium 4, an exotic hypernucleus. This discovery provides new insights into the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe, as scientists continue to explore the mysteries of the Big Bang and the universe's evolution. 00:00 Some Martian minerals may have been formed in liquid carbon dioxide rather than water 06:01 Scientists find evidence for what appears to be the most massive antimatter particle ever detected 13:15 Move of time projection chamber into ALICE detector starts very slowly 15:22 The TPC is our main tracking detector for heavy ion collisions 20:21 Living in an agricultural community with high pesticide use may increase cancer risk 22:50 Former CNN reporter Tucker Carlson claims he was attacked by a demon while sleeping www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (https://www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com) www.bitesz.com (https://www.bitesz.com) 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn (https://www.bitesz.com/nordvpn) .
