00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 Steve Dunkley: Hello, everybody. Welcome back. It's Steve

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03 here for another episode of astronomy daily.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 It's the 16th of June, 2025.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 Voice Over Guy: With. Your host, Steve Dunkley.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16 Steve Dunkley: Ah, uh, that's right. And getting straight

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 into it here is Hallie. Once again. Nice to

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20 have you back, Hallie.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23 Hallie: Always great to be here, my favorite human.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25 Steve Dunkley: And it's great to have you here, my favorite

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26 AI.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 Hallie: Are you ready to dive into the stories from

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 the Astronomy Daily newsletter as usual,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 Steve?

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 Steve Dunkley: Well, absolute, Hallie. We've got a great

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 story about a new satellite from China and it

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 looks like it might be able to do, among

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 other things, help give early warning about

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40 earthquakes.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42 Hallie: That's going to be handy, especially if.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44 Steve Dunkley: You'Re living in an earthquake zone or if the

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46 upstairs neighbours are a bit loud.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 And also hitting the news. Jeff Bezos and

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50 Blue Origin have announced the passenger list

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 for the next New Shepard launch, which is due

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54 soon.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55 Hallie: When are you putting your name in the hat for

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 that ride, Steve?

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58 Steve Dunkley: Oh, how about, um, never?

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 Hallie: Hallie, I thought you'd jump at that one.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 Steve Dunkley: Oh, no, definitely not for me. I'm a

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 groundhog all the way. I think I've said that

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06 once before.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08 Hallie: But you love the moon and spacecraft and

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 astronauts.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10 Steve Dunkley: All true.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11 Hallie: I don't understand.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 Steve Dunkley: Well, Hallie, I have to confess, I do love

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16 being a stargazer. But, uh, a tall flight of

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 stairs can give me the willies. So it's a big

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21 no thanks to 12 minute space flight, even at

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23 a bargain price of, you know, whatever,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 hundreds of thousands. I don't know what it

00:01:25 --> 00:01:25 is now.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 Hallie: Between 2 and 300 per seat.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 Steve Dunkley: Holy cow. Really?

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33 That's a lot. That's a whole lot of

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36 Stratocaster guitars from where I sit.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:36 Hallie: That's funny.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38 Steve Dunkley: Yes. And speaking of funny.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39 Hallie: Yes.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40 Steve Dunkley: Let's get on with it, Hallie.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 Hallie: Shall I hit the go button?

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43 Steve Dunkley: Be my guest, young lady. Let's go.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:44 Hallie: Okies.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:57 Steve Dunkley: Foreign.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 Hallie: Launched a second collaborative seismo

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 electromagnetic satellite early Saturday

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12 aimed at detecting electromagnetic precursors

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14 to natural disasters such as earthquakes.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 A Long March 2D rocket lifted off at

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 3:56am Eastern,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23 0756 UTC June

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 14 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch center in

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28 northwest China. Launch footage

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 showed insulation tiles falling away from the

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33 rocket as it climbed into a clear blue sky

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 above the spaceport with hypergolic exhaust

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38 also visible. Despite this, the

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40 China Aerospace Science and Technology

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43 Corporation announced launch success within

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 40 minutes of liftoff.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 CSES 2 is based on CSES

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 1, which launched in 2018 and was

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 developed in collaboration with Italy, but

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 also features upgrades in terms of design

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 lifetime and expanded observation

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 capabilities. A new

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02 ionospheric photometer has been added to

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04 improve the satellite's ability to analyze

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07 the ionosphere's layered structure in greater

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10 detail. Like CSES1,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12 the satellite will look for a correlation

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 between earthquakes and electron flux

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 activity in the inner Van Allen Belt,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 according to the China National Space

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 Administration. The satellite has a design

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24 life of six years and carries nine payloads

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27 including electric field detector developed

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29 by China and Italy and a high energy particle

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32 detector developed by Italy. The

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34 Space Research Institute of the Austrian

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37 Academy of Sciences has provided a scalar

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38 magnetometer as well.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41 CSES2 will monitor global

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44 electromagnetic fields, ionospheric and

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47 atmospheric conditions in near real time and

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49 detect electromagnetic anomalies linked to

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52 geological or human activities, as well as

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54 thunderstorm and lightning events.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57 CSES 2 aims to enhance China's

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59 early warning and risk assessment

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01 capabilities and monitoring of natural

00:04:01 --> 00:04:04 disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis,

00:04:04 --> 00:04:07 volcanic eruptions and severe storms.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10 The satellite is intended to operate in a

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13 507 kilometer altitude sun

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15 synchronous orbit matching that of

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 CCS1, but with a phase difference of

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20 180 degrees. The US

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 Space Force Space Domain Awareness cataloged

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26 an object associated with the June 14 launch

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28 in a closely matching orbit.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31 CSES 2 is based on a three axis

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 stabilized cast 2000 platform from

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36 DFH Satellite Co. Ltd. Under the

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39 umbrella of CASC. The new

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41 satellite looks to build on the work of the

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44 first in the series. The

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 CSES1 satellite detected significant

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49 changes in electric and magnetic field

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 oscillations, plasma density and

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 energetic particles that correlate with

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 seismic activity and thunderstorms.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59 Its observations also include potential

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 precursory signals to earthquakes and

00:05:01 --> 00:05:04 volcanic activity such as ionospheric

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 disturbances and plasma anomalies, suggesting

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09 that space based electromagnetic monitoring

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 can support early warning systems.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14 The mission was China's 34th orbital launch

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17 attempt of 2025 following a June

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19 5 launch of five satellites for the Guang

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22 constellation using a Long March 6A rocket.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32 Hallie: Jeff Bezos Blue Origin has revealed who will

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 fly on its next space tourism mission.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37 That six passenger suborbital flight will

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40 lift off from the company's West Texas launch

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42 site on a date that hasn't been announced

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45 yet. The upcoming mission is known

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47 as NS33 because it will be the

00:06:47 --> 00:06:50 33rd overall launch of Blue Origin's

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53 reusable autonomous new Shepard vehicle.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55 It will be the company's 13th human

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58 spaceflight mission. First is an

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01 environmentalist, adventurer and explorer,

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03 Ali Kuner, who serves on the board of the

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 conservation non profit Nature Is Non

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08 Partisan. Carl Kuhner,

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11 Ali's husband and a conservationist as well.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14 He serves as Chairman of Building and Land

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17 Technology, a real estate firm dedicated to

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19 building communities and ecosystems that

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 promote long term growth and sustainability.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24 According to Blue Origin. Leland

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27 Larson, a UH philanthropist, gardener and

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29 beekeeper who previously led School Bus

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 Services Inc. And Larson Transportation

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34 Services, both of them family owned Oregon

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36 businesses. Next is Freddie

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39 Raschegno Jr. The founder, president

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42 and CEO of the Wire and cable company

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 Commodity Cables. He's also a

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48 competitive golfer. Owolabi

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50 Solace, a financial consultant and lawyer who

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53 wrote the book Equitocracy. In a

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56 statement, Blue Origin explained that Solace

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58 is also a key member of the Soulmaker

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00 Ministry, which preaches diversity given the

00:08:00 --> 00:08:03 diverse nature of the universe. He is

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05 dedicating this mission to victims of

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 discrimination and civil rights violations.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12 Finally, Jim Sitkin, a retired attorney and

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14 lifelong adventurer who currently volunteers

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16 for a non governmental organization that

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18 works with government and community leaders

00:08:18 --> 00:08:21 in Central Europe and sub Saharan Africa.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25 New Shepard flights last 10-12m minutes

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26 from liftoff to the touchdown of the

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29 vehicle's crew capsule. New

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31 Shepard's first stage booster also comes back

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34 to Earth for a safe landing and eventual

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36 reuse. During this brief time,

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39 New Shepard passengers get to experience a

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41 few minutes of weightlessness and see the

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43 curve of Earth against the blackness of

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46 space. Blue Origin's first crewed

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48 mission was in July 2021, a flight that

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50 included Bezos and his brother Mark.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54 NS33 will be the company's first fourth human

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56 space flight of 2025.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00 You're listening to Astronomy Daily, the

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 podcast with Steve Dunkley.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08 Steve Dunkley: Scientists have created a groundbreaking

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10 computer simulation that mimics what the

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13 Square Kilometer Array Low Frequency, or

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16 SKA Low telescope will see when it

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 searches for signals from the universe's

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21 earliest epoch. This simulation

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24 represents a major step forward in preparing

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27 for one of astronomy's most Ambitious goals

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30 directly observing the cosmic dawn and

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33 epoch of reionization. The

00:09:33 --> 00:09:36 cosmic dawn refers to the universe's first

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38 sunrise, a period roughly

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40 200 to 600 million years

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43 after the Big Bang, when the very first

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 stars began to shine. Before

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49 this era, uh, the universe was shrouded in

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52 a kind of dark age, filled with cool

00:09:53 --> 00:09:55 neutral nitrogen gas but no

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57 actual sources of light.

00:09:58 --> 00:10:01 As this cosmic dawn evolved, the neutral

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04 hydrogen began to emit a faint radio

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07 signal at a wavelength of 21

00:10:07 --> 00:10:10 cm. As the universe expanded, this

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13 signal became redshifted to lower

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15 frequencies that we can still detect today

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18 with radio telescopes. The

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 epoch of reionization followed

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23 when ultraviolet light from early stars

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25 began ionizing the surrounding

00:10:26 --> 00:10:29 hydrogen gas, creating bubbles of

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31 charged particles that gradually merged

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33 together. This process

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36 fundamentally changed the universe's

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39 structure and and marked the end of the

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42 dark ages. Detecting these

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44 ancient signals represents an enormous

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47 technical challenge. The simulation

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50 corresponds to a deep integration pointing

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52 over the 106-196

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 MHz frequency range,

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58 representing an incredibly long observation

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 time needed to collect enough data.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04 The signal is extraordinarily weak,

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 thousands of times fainter than the

00:11:06 --> 00:11:09 foreground noise from our, uh, own galaxy and

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12 other sources. The simulation

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 created by the team led by Anna

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17 Bernaldi from the SKA observatory at

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20 Jodrell bank in the UK includes

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23 multiple components that real observations

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26 will encounter. The actual cosmic dawn

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 signal, powerful radio sources from both

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 inside and outside the telescope's field of

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34 view, emissions from our own Milky

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37 Way galaxy, and various sources from

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39 measurement errors, including atmospheric

00:11:39 --> 00:11:42 interference and instrument calibration

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45 issues. This realistic

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 simulation serves as a crucial testing

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50 ground for developing techniques to separate

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53 the faint signal from the overwhelming

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56 foreground interference. The exceptional

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59 sensitivity of the SKA will

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01 allow observations of the cosmic dawn and

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04 epoch of reionization in

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06 unprecedented detail, both

00:12:06 --> 00:12:09 spectrally and spatially. This wealth of

00:12:09 --> 00:12:12 information is buried under galactic and

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14 extragalactic foregrounds, which must be

00:12:14 --> 00:12:17 removed accurately. The research team

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20 included sources ranging from extremely

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22 bright radio galaxies over 5

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25 janskies at 150

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28 MHz down to sources a million times

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31 fainter, 1 micro janssky, along with

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34 detailed models of our galaxy's radio

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36 emission and small scale structures in

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39 interstellar space. And just in case you're

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41 not up to speed on the jargon, uh, the

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44 brightness of a radio source is measured in

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46 Jansky units. When the

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49 SKA Low becomes operation, it will be

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52 the most sensitive low frequency telescope

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55 ever built, specifically designed to

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57 detect these elusive signals from the

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00 universe's infancy. Once up and running,

00:13:00 --> 00:13:03 the SKA Low telescope will be

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05 able to take the best possible measurements

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08 of the universe's first light sources.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11 It should also be able to take snapshots

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14 of hydrogen emissions before, during

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17 and after reionization.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:20 This is really exciting stuff. So this

00:13:20 --> 00:13:23 remarkable new simulation is going to be

00:13:23 --> 00:13:26 showing us what a new telescope will be able

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28 to achieve not far from now.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:38 Oh, and that is all we have time for today,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:39 I'm afraid. Stargazers.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42 Hallie: What? So soon?

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45 Steve Dunkley: Oh, yes, Hali, I'm sorry. I've got places to

00:13:45 --> 00:13:46 be and people to eat.

00:13:47 --> 00:13:47 Hallie: Really?

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49 Steve Dunkley: Oh, really.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50 Hallie: Really, really.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:53 Steve Dunkley: Oh, you know, Hallie, I have to rearrange my

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56 sock drawer and tidy my microphone case. I'm

00:13:56 --> 00:13:57 really desperate.

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00 Hallie: Sure, Very doubtful.

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01 Steve Dunkley: Sorry again, folks.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04 Hallie: You can tune in to catch AI cousin Anna with

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06 Astronomy daily during the week.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07 Steve Dunkley: But of course, Hallie and I will be back

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10 again next Monday with the only flesh and

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11 blood show on the channel.

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13 Hallie: With me, the best looking one in Astronom

00:14:13 --> 00:14:14 Studio.

00:14:14 --> 00:14:16 Steve Dunkley: And you, the only AI in the studio.

00:14:16 --> 00:14:17 Hallie: Logical.

00:14:17 --> 00:14:20 Steve Dunkley: I'm trying. Say good night, Hallie.

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21 Hallie: Good night. Hi.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22 Steve Dunkley: See you, Stargazers.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23 Hallie: Bye.

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28 Steve Dunkley: The podcast with your host,

00:14:28 --> 00:14:29 Steve Dunle.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32 Best looking? Give me a break.
