SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 151 * A New Perspective on the Moon's Aitken Basin Recent observations of the Moon's south pole reveal that the Aitken Basin crater is more circular than previously believed. This significant discovery challenges existing theories about its formation and has implications for future lunar missions, including NASA's Artemis program. The study, published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, suggests a more direct impact created the crater, offering potential access to deep lunar material for study. *Gravitational Wave Maps Unveil Hidden Cosmic Structures Astronomers have developed the most detailed gravitational wave maps yet, revealing hidden black holes and cosmic structures. Using pulsar timing arrays, researchers have detected a background of gravitational waves across the universe. This groundbreaking research, reported in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, opens new avenues for understanding galactic evolution and the universe's history. *NASA's First Aircraft Accident Investigation on another planet NASA has conducted its first aircraft accident investigation on another planet following the crash of the Mars Ingenuity helicopter. The investigation revealed that the helicopter's navigation system struggled with the featureless Martian terrain, leading to a hard landing. Despite the crash, Ingenuity continues to provide valuable data for future Mars missions. 00:00 This is space Time Series 27, Episode 151 for broadcast on 16 December 2024 00:47 New observations of the Moon's south pole have shown the Aitken Basin crater is circular 05:04 Space astronomers have created the most detailed maps ever of gravitational waves across universe 14:10 The Meerkat radio telescope is probably the best radio telescope at the moment 18:52 NASA conducting first ever aircraft accident investigation on another planet 24:11 Single mutation on H5N1 bird flu could make human infections more likely 26:14 A recent study found journalists brains are suffering from poor executive functioning 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) .
