Welcome to another episode of Astronomy Daily! On this episode, Steve Dunkley takes us on an astronomical adventure through recent discoveries and events. As we commemorate the 54th anniversary of Apollo 11's lunar landing, we also delve into several intriguing stories, including the detection of a peculiar radio signal pulsing every 22 minutes for over three decades. We discuss last year's historic NASA mission that managed to alter an asteroid's course with the DART probe, resulting in a hailstorm of celestial boulders. In addition, we explore China's unique plan to transport zebrafish to the Tian Gang space station for research. A highlight is the discovery of NGC1277, a galaxy that seems to defy current cosmological models due to its apparent absence of dark matter. This finding could potentially shake up our understanding of cosmic evolution. Stay tuned for these and more stellar news updates, and as always, join in the conversation with us and our digital reporter Hallie, here on Astronomy Daily. You can also share your memories of the Apollo 11 moon mission on our Space Nuts podcast group.
