S27E90: Black Hole Discovery in Omega Centauri, Juice's Lunar Flyby, and Space Suits Inspired by Dune

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 90, where we delve into the latest cosmic events and advancements in space exploration.**Discovery of an Intermediate Mass Black Hole**: Astronomers have detected what they believe is a rare intermediate mass black hole buried deep inside the Omega Centauri globular star cluster. This discovery, based on two decades of Hubble Space Telescope observations, provides compelling new evidence for this elusive type of black hole, which acts as a missing link in black hole evolution.- **Europe's JUICE Spacecraft Flyby**: The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) is about to undertake a gravity-assisted flyby of the Earth and Moon. This manoeuvre will alter the spacecraft's speed and direction, setting it on a course to Jupiter. The flyby is a double world first, being both the first lunar-Earth flyby and the first double gravity assist manoeuvre.- **Portable Urine Recycling System for Spacesuits**: Inspired by the still suits in the movie Dune, scientists have developed a new portable urine collection and recycling system for spacesuits. This system could solve the hygiene and water scarcity issues faced by astronauts during long spacewalks and deep space missions.Follow our cosmic conversations on X @stuartgary, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
