Welcome to this episode of SpaceTime, where we bring you some fascinating stories from the world of astronomy and space science. First up, astronomers have made an incredible discovery using an Artificial Intelligence program. They have found a supermassive black hole that is ripping apart a giant star in what is being called the brightest, most energetic, and longest-lasting stellar murder ever seen. This discovery has stunned the astronomy community, and we discuss the implications of this discovery. In our next story, we take a look at the weird asteroid Phaethon. A new study has claimed that the cometary tail generated by Phaethon is not dust, as previously thought, but rather sodium gas. We delve into the findings of this study and explore what it could mean for our understanding of this strange asteroid. Finally, we discuss the recent news of a dead NASA spacecraft crashing back to Earth. The spacecraft smashed into the ground in the northern African Sahara Desert, and we take a closer look at what happened and what we can learn from this incident. Plus The Science Report: Polar ice sheet melting records have toppled during the past decade. Scientists discover that a amphibian-killing fungus is more widespread than anyone had realized. A new self-repairing metallic coating for clothing and textiles.
