Welcome to Astronomy Daily for June 2nd, 2023 – S02E10.In this episode of Astronomy Daily, Tim Gibbs discusses several intriguing stories.Firstly, NASA is holding its first public meeting on UFOs, aiming for a more rigorous scientific approach to understanding mysterious sightings. A team of 16 scientists will report their findings by July, emphasizing the need for high-quality data and data curation. Next, a new proposal suggests sending a spacecraft to explore all of Saturn's major moons, including Enceladus, Titan, Dion, and Mimus. This would be achieved through complex orbits and electric propulsion, providing energy efficiency and the ability to adjust orbits over time. The episode also highlights a study investigating solar particle acceleration processes. Scientists are using energetic neutral atoms (ENAs), particles with no electric charge, to better understand solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that can disrupt power grids and create geomagnetic storms. In an unusual development, researchers from Kyoto University and Sumitomo To Forestry in Japan are planning to launch a wooden satellite called LignoSat into space. Tests have shown that wood can withstand the extreme conditions of space and may offer environmental benefits compared to metal alloys. Additionally, astronomers have discovered a massive black hole at the heart of a galaxy called Messier 84 (M84). The black hole's jets create an H-shaped structure in X-ray images, influencing gas movement and disrupting its feeding process.Finally, the episode concludes with the successful return of the SpaceX Dragon capsule, completing the AX2 private astronaut mission.Astronomy Daily – The Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
