SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 150
*Venus: A Lifeless World
New research has debunked the long-standing theory that Venusmight have once been habitable. Despite being Earth's sister planet, a study of its atmospheric chemistry reveals that Venus has always been too dry to support oceans, making it an inhospitable world throughout its history. These findings, published in Nature Astronomy, have significant implications for the search for life on exoplanets, suggesting a focus on more Earth-like candidates.
*Mars Perseverance Rover Reaches Jezero Crater Rim
NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has successfully reached the rim of Jezero Crater, where it is examining the Picotquino region. This area could provide insights into ancient geological processes on Mars, potentially revealing clues about the planet's past climate and the impact that formed the crater.
*Quantum Sensors in Space
NASA's Cold Atom Lab aboard the International Space Station has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by using ultra-cold atoms to detect environmental changes in Space. This marks a new era in quantum science, with potential applications in studying planetary compositions and testing fundamental theories of gravity.
00:00 New study suggests Venus was never habitable; quantum sensor used in space
00:26 New study has shown that the planet Venus was never habitable
06:32 NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has finally reached the rim of Jezero
08:56 NASA's Cold Atom Lab has taken another step towards quantum science in space
16:33 Permafrost thawing due to climate change could lead to wildfires
19:30 New images have emerged of what's reported to be the famed Loch Ness Monster
