Highlights:
- Psyche Mission Update: In this episode, we explore the latest developments from NASA's Psyche mission as the spacecraft resumes its journey towards the metal-rich asteroid Psyche after reigniting its plasma thrusters. We discuss the mission's innovative electric propulsion system and how it allows for efficient navigation through the solar system, ensuring its arrival at the asteroid in August 2029.
- Abell 2255 Galaxy Cluster: Astronomers have captured the deepest and highest resolution images of the Abell 2255 galaxy cluster, revealing intricate details of its merging galaxies and the enigmatic radio-emitting tendrils that trail behind. This research could provide insights into the evolution of radio galaxies and the interaction of supermassive black holes with the intergalactic medium.
- Arcstone Mission: NASA is set to launch the Arcstone mission, a groundbreaking technology demonstration aimed at improving the calibration of Earth-viewing sensors in orbit. By measuring lunar reflectance, Arcstone seeks to establish a universal standard for the international scientific community, enhancing the accuracy of remote sensing data for future missions.
- June's Bootid Meteor Shower: As June's unpredictable Bootid meteor shower approaches its peak on June 27, we discuss the origins of this annual event and what viewers can expect as Earth passes through the debris trails of Comet 7P/Pons-Winnecke.
- SpaceX Starship Incident: We cover the unfortunate incident involving SpaceX's Starship 36, which exploded during a static fire test at the Starbase site. Initial analyses point to a failure of a composite overwrapped pressure vessel, but thankfully, no injuries were reported. We discuss the implications for the Starship program and the ongoing investigations.
