Moon's Hidden Geology, Venus' DaVinci Mission, and Titan's Atmospheric Secrets: S28E16

SpaceTime: Astronomy & Science News - A podcast by Stuart Gary

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 16The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastNew Discoveries on the Moon, Venus Exploration, and Titan's AtmosphereIn this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into a groundbreaking study revealing that the Moon may not be as geologically inactive as previously believed. Observations of small ridges on the lunar far side suggest recent tectonic activity, indicating that the Moon's geological history is more dynamic than once thought. Researchers found that these features, formed within the last 200 million years, could have significant implications for future lunar missions.NASA's Davinci Mission to VenusWe also discuss NASA's upcoming Davinci mission, set to explore the mysteries of Venus. This innovative mission will deploy a descent probe into the planet's thick atmosphere, capturing high-resolution images and analyzing its unique geological features, including the ancient Tesserae that may provide insights into Venus's past.Understanding Titan's AtmosphereAdditionally, we explore new research on Saturn's moon Titan, which maintains its dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere through chemical reactions occurring deep beneath its surface. The findings suggest that Titan's atmosphere, which features liquid methane rain and a complex organic chemistry, is replenished by internal processes that have puzzled scientists since its discovery.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 16 for broadcast on 5 February 202500:49 New findings on the geological activity of the Moon06:30 Overview of NASA's Davinci mission to Venus12:15 How Titan maintains its atmosphere18:00 Increase in temperature-related deaths in Europe22:45 Discovery of magma chambers in dormant volcanoes27:00 Creation of bipaternal mice using stem cell engineering30:15 Overview of Deepseek AI chatbotwww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.
