half of pizzas online days.
0:10
courtside seats at nosebleed prices.
0:13
And they know you can easily get
0:16
onstage lowest price on auto insurance at
0:18
all state.com. Prices
0:23
vary including based on how you buy, subject
0:25
to terms, conditions, and availability. Allstate, byron catch
0:27
the insurance company and affiliates. Notebook: Illinois.
0:31
Something which is no the best way for you
0:33
is a rate based on you with all the
0:35
that one based on the driver who treats the
0:37
highway like a racetrack and the shoulder like a
0:39
passing lane. Why pay rate based on anyone else?
0:41
get one based on you with Dr was from
0:44
honestly not available in Alaska California started to terms
0:46
of good distance. Rates are determined by several factors
0:48
which vary by state. In some states participation in
0:50
driveways allows all cities are driving data for purposes
0:52
of rating well in some states are a could
0:54
increase with I was driving generally safer drivers will
0:56
save with driveways are stubborn. Cover the insurance company
0:59
in Philly, sort pick Illinois. Or. They
1:01
thanks for joining us. So and yet another
1:03
episode of Space Nuts! My name is Andrew
1:05
Doctor your host and it's good to have
1:08
your company again. Thanks for joining us
1:10
coming up we'll be looking at. An
1:13
old chestnut expansion Speed of
1:15
The Universe The theory is
1:17
again under the spotlight due
1:19
to. For a
1:22
change normally conflicting evidence. So
1:25
we'll talk about that. And.
1:27
A giant volcanoes been discovered
1:29
and it was hiding in
1:31
plain sight. guess way. Yeah.
1:34
You're right, We'll be talking about
1:36
that on this episode of Space
1:39
Nuts Dame. Journal.
1:44
Emissions Liquid Space next.
1:48
To. Space
1:52
Nice. Meal.
1:55
And joining us to explore all of
1:57
that is Professor Bread What's on Astronomer
1:59
at Large? Hello Fred Hello Andrew
2:01
could see you're smiling face again.
2:03
you to else either needed last
2:06
summer So yeah yeah yeah improving
2:08
I added. A
2:10
I generally don't suffer Jet lagged a
2:12
very long, but this time it's really
2:14
hit me hard and I think it's
2:17
got everything to do with the fact
2:19
lib dem I'd managed to sleep on
2:21
the flight home, which was bad because
2:23
we got home at eight o'clock in
2:26
the evening. Know and I a calculator
2:28
probably slept seven hours on the plane
2:30
cause it left in the evening. Some
2:32
any good? No, yeah no. and then
2:34
when we got back across, I didn't
2:37
really feel that sleepy. So.
2:39
I'm. And and it's
2:41
taken me a long time to adjust the
2:43
i'm starting to get a move or back
2:45
which is good. ah and dumb the a
2:47
getting over the illness the came with it
2:50
on it did it a Do not recommend
2:52
having a heavy called out of it or
2:54
whatever it is I had in conjunction with
2:56
Jetlag. They do not like each other and
2:58
I have. They fought tooth and
3:00
nail so else in Europe. Not a
3:02
fan combination but I'm sure it's nor
3:05
and uncommon in this day night. that
3:07
dumb. Yeah, we're getting. we're
3:09
getting through. It's been a bit of a
3:11
long haul. Boom booms I'm how you know
3:13
how things. Fine. Thanks
3:15
I'll be testing due to my
3:17
upcoming trip as well so us
3:19
but will be will be fine
3:21
will be fine he I can't
3:24
wait to talking about that and
3:26
yet damn as it's it's in
3:28
fact when this episode his ass
3:30
probably around the same time as
3:32
you'll the everything mean events that
3:34
era attending so rather be good.
3:37
Friend left side get stuck into it.
3:40
We've got a Kepler. really amazing topics
3:42
to talk about. Things we've talked about
3:44
before, one of which was talked about
3:46
many times before. the other we haven't
3:48
because it's only just been discovered. Will
3:50
get to that shortly. But let's talk
3:52
about this situation with the expansion speed
3:54
of the universe. We get a lot
3:56
of questions from the audience about it
3:58
in the news again because. An
4:01
old. A theory has
4:03
sort of been confirmed by
4:05
yeah, more evidence from at
4:07
a news source and and
4:09
that's. A. And that I
4:11
mean it's great but is also got
4:13
paypal same will hang on a minute.
4:16
This topped work doesn't doesn't add up
4:18
with this. Still a hole in the
4:20
information and we can't figure it out.
4:22
it's it's. really quite an intriguing scenario
4:24
and. The real head
4:26
scratcher. And there's a
4:28
lot of arts crafts scratched heads
4:30
in the a suit. with the
4:33
business it's agencies he suggested that
4:35
and it's so ah what what
4:37
do we took him out, lead
4:39
sir as the sound the radio
4:41
let some pick the story but.
4:44
We. We have a number of
4:47
different ways of measuring the expansion of
4:49
the universe and what we talking about
4:51
here. Andrew is the expansion of the
4:53
universe. Now you know the woods and
4:56
will take him out you back in
4:58
the day of the City of Origins
5:00
of the Universe. We talking about the
5:03
expansion speed now and astronomers have got
5:05
a slightly curious way of expressing that.
5:08
It is ah because the
5:10
the bottom line is with
5:13
an expanding universe. the further.
5:15
Away you look. The. Faster something
5:17
is receding from you and that
5:19
is just standard geometry. The further
5:21
away is it the fastest moving
5:23
That was Hubble's discovery bucking on
5:25
T Twenty Nine and the speed.
5:29
That is that the that things
5:31
are moving away from us. Ah
5:33
measured in units of kilometers per
5:36
second. Thus, the speed with can
5:38
understand that, but it's kilometers per
5:40
second per mega passing. In other
5:43
words, Well. Let
5:45
me just tell you a make
5:47
of parsec is Isamu a million
5:49
pass x one parsec is three
5:51
point two six light years Omega
5:53
passing Mega Parsec Three point Two
5:55
six million light years to you
5:57
have the the the numbers that
5:59
were. Common more commonly familiar
6:01
with astronomers use perfect and Mega
6:04
Parsec because that's the measurable quantity.
6:06
You can't measure light? Yes, that.
6:08
but we can turn the measured
6:11
quantity very into a lie Year
6:13
which actually is A is a
6:15
nicer way of expressing things. It's
6:18
while most people can get their
6:20
heads around the distance like channels
6:23
him. yet. so the the fall
6:25
you that the Hubble Telescope A
6:27
arrived on and. Remember
6:30
when the Hubble Telescope was
6:32
launched back in Nineteen Ninety?
6:34
One of it's main. Aims:
6:38
The main aim of the mission
6:40
was to. Measure. The expansion
6:42
velocity of the universe in other
6:44
words, measure the Hubble constant And
6:46
that was because at that time
6:48
and I remember this very clearly,
6:50
that was huge disparity, indifference attempts
6:52
on what this custom was ranging
6:54
from fifty kilometers per second to
6:56
make it affects her make it
6:58
possible to one hundred kilometers per
7:01
second per make it perfect. In
7:03
other words, they differed by a
7:05
factor of two two groups of
7:07
astronomers who were both convinced they
7:09
were right but that that that.
7:11
Values were so far apart
7:13
they could never be reconciled,
7:16
And it turned out when
7:18
the Hubble Telescope did it
7:20
work and measured not expansion.
7:22
Devalue was almost exactly the
7:24
average of those two fifty
7:27
and one hundred seventy three
7:29
kilometers per second per mag
7:31
percent. And that is now
7:33
he accepted value coming from
7:35
the Hubble Space Telescope. And
7:38
however, The. Problem is
7:40
that there are other ways
7:42
of measuring the Hubble Constant
7:45
and they involve looking back
7:47
at the Cosmic Microwave background
7:50
radiation. Which
7:52
is an early as you
7:54
know. We've talked about it
7:56
many times before. It means
7:58
we're looking so. Far in space
8:00
that we're looking so far back in
8:03
time that we're seeing back to a
8:05
time when the universe was still luminous
8:07
where he being actively the that the
8:09
that the last vestiges of the flesh
8:11
of the Big bang and and in
8:13
fact some with were looking back to
8:15
within about three hundred eighty thousand years
8:18
of the the been Now that cosmic
8:20
microwave background radiation I call it the
8:22
cosmic wallpaper cause it's behind everything else
8:24
that we see in the universe was
8:26
also because he's got patterns on it
8:28
like oh old fashioned. Wallpaper often
8:31
did of those persons ah
8:33
caused by actually acoustic oscillations
8:35
within the the fireball of
8:38
the universe to a slightly
8:40
warmer and slightly cooler zones
8:43
On that that Cosmic Microwave
8:45
background radiation. By studying know
8:48
who's you can arrive at
8:50
a value of the Hubble
8:53
constant. The
8:55
problem is. He doesn't agree
8:57
with the. Hubble. The
8:59
the message at the Hubble Telescope
9:01
used wishes to look at. I
9:03
didn't say this is to look
9:05
at that particular type of variables
9:07
succeed. variable stars which ah have
9:09
a known brightness. they are and
9:11
what we call standard candles and
9:13
so that gives his are those
9:15
Hubble Telescope observations gives you seventy
9:17
three kilometers per second per ninety
9:19
percent not looking at me. Cosmic.
9:22
Microwave background radiation you get sixty
9:24
seven kilometers per second per make
9:27
it possible and which is
9:29
a it's sort of almost at
9:31
ten percent difference not yet,
9:33
but getting on that way. So.
9:38
Ah that is what we call the
9:40
Hubble tension That is what were his
9:42
people that we are getting a different
9:45
answer and in a in a way
9:47
you know back in Nineteen Ninety when
9:49
the Hubble Telescope was launched people would
9:52
have to stick know that difference because
9:54
they would have said well you know
9:56
that near enough to tempted to for
9:58
us to know. What's going on?
10:01
but today where he? that era
10:03
which my peers t supervisor learned,
10:05
Professor Mark of Lumina that was
10:08
described as a an era of
10:10
precision cosmology. We are in an
10:12
era of precision cosmology. In other
10:15
words, we can measure these promises
10:17
much more accurately. The we have
10:19
a could before and so this
10:21
difference from the Cosmic Microwave Background
10:24
radiation sixty seven kilometers per second
10:26
with mega parsec to the Hubble
10:28
telescopes seventy three kilometers. Per second
10:31
delay. Perfect. That is a problem
10:33
and it's something that we would
10:35
like to understand and we don't
10:38
So that's the banks to her
10:40
is now. Enter the James Way
10:42
I noticed too and J W
10:45
S T wish we are as
10:47
I'm sure many people were hoping
10:49
would absolutely and solve this problem
10:52
and say okay at this is
10:54
exactly what's happening and that didn't
10:56
happen. Since the
10:58
folks that didn't want what the
11:01
to dead the James Webb Space
11:03
Telescope has done is come from
11:06
the Hubble telescope value they flew
11:08
that the same. So this the
11:10
same stars they've loot with a
11:13
much bigger telescope than the Hubble
11:15
penetrated much further into space. Because.
11:18
It's have been a big a
11:20
mirror and what they get is
11:22
the same answer. And and by
11:24
the way this is research led
11:27
by at a recent Johns Hopkins
11:29
University. he was one of the
11:31
three people who got the Nobel
11:33
Prize for the discover in the
11:36
expansion the accelerated expansion of the
11:38
universe As so he's nuts. Somebody
11:40
you know that you can with
11:42
your space research is top ranked
11:44
research done on the top rank
11:47
telescopes and. It basically gives the
11:49
same answer. In fact, not basically. it
11:51
is exactly the same answer. Seventy three
11:53
kilometers per second per mag. Perfect as
11:56
the Hubble Telescope did. A what they're
11:58
doing is the using. They
12:00
are a combination of these
12:02
suffered variable stars and another
12:04
distance indicator which we call
12:06
type one a supernova eat.
12:08
these are exploding stars the
12:10
always wind up with the
12:12
same maximum brightness from so
12:14
you can you could describe
12:16
these types of stars a
12:19
standard candles that because say
12:21
they are luminous and they
12:23
have a standard brightness and
12:25
you can he can describe
12:27
the work done on the
12:29
Cosmic Microwave. Background Radiation as being
12:31
the standard rulers because you're measuring
12:33
the separation of hot and cold
12:36
spots on the Cosmic Microwave background
12:38
radiation. A A A glow itself
12:40
ah and standard of so we
12:42
describe those a stand to do
12:44
this because they are telling with
12:46
we kind of know what those
12:49
separations ought to be. We can
12:51
measure how they lose. Somebody.
12:54
Has suggested. The
12:56
possibility of a technique called
12:58
standard Sirens and I've come
13:00
across that term before, but
13:03
I liked it very much.
13:05
It's where you can use
13:07
gravitational waves. So
13:10
ah, using gravitational waves and
13:12
I guess the standards are
13:14
in just because they they
13:16
do that but actively the
13:18
same frequency ranges set. This
13:20
audio wastes a standard Sirens
13:22
from Gravitational waves might one
13:24
day help. To resolve this problem
13:27
but at the moments. We
13:29
simply don't have accurate enough values. The
13:31
Ira bars are too big a so
13:33
we don't have a secure enough values
13:35
to use the standard siren method to
13:37
resolve the issue, but that might be
13:39
the way goes at the moment. Knob
13:42
Ascension remains with us and we don't
13:44
know what the expansion rate of the
13:46
universe is. Well.
13:48
Near we we we know to
13:50
numbers. this is it. Reasonable to
13:53
numbers but we don't know which
13:55
ones rise to fear site. The
13:57
James Webb confirming the data from
13:59
Hobbled does not absolutely guarantee that
14:02
that number is right. The other
14:04
numbers sixty seven kilometers per make
14:06
a pass x which was based
14:09
on the a Barrier acoustic oscillation
14:11
as theory. Our evidence that the
14:13
difference is six ah which is
14:15
a big number in in a
14:18
in in an era as you
14:20
said were, accuracy is. Becoming
14:23
the norm, You.
14:26
Can throw you on the spot. He friend
14:28
you have any theories about what's the difference?
14:30
Mcveigh why. Exists some it is the
14:33
big is probably a dumb question though ass because
14:35
no one knows the answer. No,
14:37
but what I mean. One
14:39
possible answer is really in
14:41
trading and that's. You
14:44
know there is there a phenomenon? a play
14:46
that we don't yet? Understand or
14:48
know about new physics. The universe might
14:50
not be as we think it is.
14:53
We've got this very neat and tidy
14:55
views of the universe, sunsets of philly,
14:57
ambitious things would you think that is
15:00
talking about a whole universe? We
15:03
might have neglected something that we
15:05
have not yet discovered. You.
15:08
Know. That. Certainly a
15:10
basic series or or correct
15:12
relativity works perfectly. Quantum theory
15:14
works perfectly. And
15:17
but they themselves are not reconcile
15:19
double so that that's another attention
15:21
as well. But the the hubble
15:23
tensions made come down to something
15:25
that we just have not. Discovered.
15:28
Yet and when we do, he
15:30
might change ah view of the
15:32
universe. Markedly new physics
15:34
if I put it that way. Physics
15:36
that we don't yet understand. I could
15:38
open the door to all kinds of
15:40
different things. extra dimensions, all sorts of
15:42
things of that song, so it's very
15:45
exciting. Any so, where the several tensions,
15:47
the plugin to keep from chipping away
15:49
at it until we get an answer
15:51
and somebody have come along with a
15:53
theory that has a how what is
15:55
there was a fist I mention than
15:57
they did this to the other four
15:59
am. Yeah. That. Could be the
16:01
answer, but we don't know yet. Okay, Let
16:05
me throw a curveball. I am just
16:07
because you don't know when my having
16:09
it all adds to it's had inner
16:12
Cities accountable, but that if if we
16:14
do find some new piece of information
16:16
that answers the question, could that then
16:18
put a dent in Einstein's theory of
16:21
Relativity? And. It
16:25
was equally yeah. I always thought
16:27
he was wrong. He always wanted
16:29
to be to revamp. Yeah, so
16:31
and yet as yes, all tests
16:33
improvement in right? Yes, with a
16:35
very high degree of precision. Man
16:37
so hunts what it might show,
16:40
says that's Einstein's Relativity is only
16:42
part of the story. act in
16:44
a in a similar way to
16:46
Einstein's theory of Relativity that the
16:48
General Theory which is all about
16:50
Gravity that showed that Newton's Theory
16:52
was only part of the story.
16:54
Newton's theory was really really well.
16:57
until you get into high gravitational
16:59
fields and that doesn't work a
17:01
tool. but you didn't have a
17:03
high gravitational fields and it works
17:05
really well. But and and it's
17:07
well enough that it is telling
17:09
us. Part. A story. It's
17:11
another complete story. Maybe the same is
17:14
true with General Relativity with Einstein's theory
17:16
that it's tunes past the story, but
17:18
not complete thing. One
17:20
more point out with Hubble tension, somebody
17:22
is going to ask the question as
17:25
to whether or not the influence could
17:27
be dark energy or.matter of both eyes
17:29
that a possibilities. Well, they're all taken
17:31
into account in the concerns of fifteen
17:34
a week. We do know about them,
17:36
but they're all taken into a cast.
17:38
Sorry lot know that somebody with the
17:40
answer suffer for it is that when
17:42
I phone back on after I stopped
17:45
ringing anyway so. Fair.
17:50
Enough for dummies that? well it.
17:52
it's. It's
17:55
it's one of those questions. It
17:57
will remain mysterious until somebody some.
18:00
Where he will probably win a
18:02
Nobel prize. Come the up with
18:04
that light bulb moment for possibly
18:06
a stained could stand it candle
18:08
moment promotes I will will have
18:11
to wait and states and with
18:13
the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation diminishing
18:15
or assume it's diminishing will come
18:17
a time with we can't rely
18:19
on that anymore. And.
18:23
It is diminishing in the
18:25
sense that, ah, that. That.
18:29
Radiation that we see that sort of wall
18:31
of radiation which is what it is that
18:33

20:25
that has been confirmed in there
20:28
Will Be No Doubt And that
20:30
is a major announcement at the
20:32
fifty fifth Lunar and Palette Pat
20:35
Planetary Science Conference in Texas. The
20:37
other guys ah that they have
20:39
discovered a new volcano beyond earth
20:42
and not surprisingly, it's on Mars.
20:44
It's a monster. And
20:48
Spain in our face. All this time we
20:50
just haven't really noticed. It's probably due to.
20:52
Weathering more erosion. one of your
20:55
Nicholas that.yes a new was not
20:57
new but new to us you
20:59
volcano and mass. Yeah,
21:01
we. I mean We We know
21:04
of several volcanoes of Mars and
21:06
including the. The. Highest mountain
21:08
in the solar system, Olympus
21:10
Mons twenty three kilometers high
21:12
above the the planes of
21:14
Mars, a huge huge volcano.
21:16
Ah and this new discovery
21:18
which I'm a I just
21:21
mentioned at the beginning of
21:23
our chat about it is
21:25
Certs is by Doctor possible
21:27
he has a fantasy scientists
21:29
with the Seti Institute ah
21:31
and also the Miles Institute
21:33
based at Nasa Ames and
21:35
he is the lead author.
21:37
Of the study.
21:39
Ah so what?
21:41
Ah, Pasco
21:44
and and his colleagues
21:46
have done is. Loots,
21:49
Arts, many. Have
21:52
what you michael aerial photos
21:54
of Mars. The
21:56
He the Lived does the
21:58
images imagery taken from orbiting
22:01
spacecraft of which there have
22:03
been many since Marina Nine,
22:05
Nineteen Seventy One. I
22:08
am combined it with the
22:10
radar measurements the basically measurements
22:12
of the height of the
22:14
features on mars is surface
22:16
which have come from other
22:18
said spacecraft. Mars Express is
22:20
one that so got gods
22:22
her radar a bonus the
22:24
European so them sorry the
22:26
European Space Agency's a spacecraft
22:28
most express another suits to
22:30
the the built up a
22:32
topographic map of miles and
22:35
what this looks at is
22:37
a region which. Is called
22:39
knocked. His labyrinth is so
22:41
lebron to ah under nine
22:43
consider ways a labyrinth of
22:45
features. And basically
22:47
features of the night. I guess
22:49
because sir, not this is what
22:52
that means. I'm. So.
22:54
It's a it's some centrally
22:56
yeah I'm a director. What
22:59
you might call a tangled
23:01
area of geology, the labyrinth
23:03
of the night named back
23:05
in the early days of
23:08
Mars exploration and but at
23:10
so. It is easy
23:12
to see why people have
23:15
missed this but when this
23:17
group of scientists have looked
23:19
in detail at a church
23:21
service to the end of
23:24
for notice a labyrinth us
23:26
they find a basically all
23:28
the symptoms symptomatic structure of
23:30
a volcano ah an arc
23:33
of of me says it's
23:35
have raised hills a bit
23:37
which slowed down hill away
23:39
from the high area. The
23:42
summit area and this extends
23:44
out more than two hundred
23:46
kilometers away from what they
23:49
actually. The speculate was
23:51
the cold air of the the volcanic vents.
23:54
Probably once. containing.
23:56
A Lava lake A We see
23:58
lava lake satisfy. Jupiter's moon
24:01
ios a week we can
24:03
see their effects said they
24:05
real so we think that
24:07
this saw this scientists think
24:09
that the still zero on
24:11
this new volcano are newly
24:13
discovered volcano also contained a
24:15
lava like it is being
24:18
pulled. The
24:21
the not to spokane know that
24:23
sir the name that is being
24:25
given to it because it is
24:27
so. Close to
24:30
the not to slither into so
24:32
region of fantastic discovery. Really extraordinary
24:34
isn't it? Yeah it is. And
24:36
it's a it's a big one
24:38
is over nine thousand meters in
24:40
high than a diameter of four
24:42
hundred and fifty kilometers or two
24:44
hundred ninety miles and eight of
24:46
them. Speak. American. Twenty nine
24:48
thousand, six hundred, Yeah,
24:50
I'm. From. New sea
24:52
level as opposed to use it to
24:55
the summit to so call it sea
24:57
level en masse. Know it's got some
24:59
weird name like the standard Dayton or
25:01
something like that, but the essence he
25:03
said he was what had simple. Standard
25:07
measurement and see A and
25:10
dumb says it's funny though
25:12
because some. Curiously,
25:14
are you know the northern hemisphere
25:17
of Mars is is generally speaking
25:19
below That. And.
25:22
We think that the northern hemisphere of mouse
25:24
once other and ocean in it and so
25:26
that datum is probably not far off what
25:28
would have been sea levels and. Even
25:31
though the see gone but the but the
25:33
you know the standard is the sites so
25:36
is yes that that's the bottom line. wait
25:38
we measure any trouble upset and in fact
25:40
I think in this case is probably not
25:42
the local typography. it's an all of this
25:45
volcano, the newly discovered one and. The.
25:48
Major for other volcanoes that's er
25:50
en masse. It
25:52
including Olympus Mons which is on
25:55
the edge of this area but
25:57
the some answer three other ones
25:59
public. The smog. Listen to
26:01
to more they are in
26:04
a region that called of
26:06
Tarsus A the sauces rise.tosses
26:08
depending on how you with
26:10
you correctly pronouncing it on
26:12
us it's It's a high
26:15
profile little region and. That.
26:18
The thinking is that this was
26:20
a sort of bounds caused by
26:22
magnetic pressure underneath that gave rise
26:25
to the sauce is rise and
26:27
the volcano's have popped out through
26:29
that limpets monjeza the edge. But
26:32
notice of the not you notice
26:34
volcanoes is also on that high
26:36
high ground region so it's it's
26:39
fairly you do it justice fairly.
26:42
Good place to look if you're gonna
26:44
try and find to do volcano. This
26:47
region where the suppose probably cause my
26:49
my mustique pressure is a good place
26:51
to move of is a curious thing
26:53
about me as is that it's at
26:55
one end of the some valleys met
26:57
them Marineris south Acquiesce I noticed that
26:59
correct to as if I was don't
27:01
bring that up it's it's quite a
27:03
fascinating bad part of the atlantic around
27:05
this is randy Ecuadorian ratings are a
27:07
life and not even valets mariner as
27:09
you got the new volcano you got
27:11
a string of three. Years and
27:13
to the west and then Olympus Mons
27:16
on the internet regime it's It's a
27:18
really amazing area it is that tries
27:20
to funny Smart marinara, the marina valleys.
27:24
Biggest terms: Canyons in the Solar System as
27:26
far as we know. about six years you
27:28
center at one end of it the it
27:30
makes it look very much as though. You
27:34
know, Back. In the times
27:36
when Miles was warm and wet,
27:38
water flowed one way or the
27:40
other and probably away from the
27:42
not is volcano a down to
27:44
Us regions in the Northern hemisphere.
27:46
Months to go with the building
27:48
up a picture of that's the
27:51
only geography of mass and it
27:53
would have been quite spectacular with
27:55
the volcano's and gigantic current standings.
27:57
a a one time to be
27:59
out and buy a house with
28:01
a camera system and yeah, absolutely.
28:03
The other interesting thing that's come
28:05
up in this story is that
28:08
and glacial ice and yet they're
28:10
already talking about this new discovery
28:12
being a potential location for landing
28:14
zone because of some of the
28:16
potential resources in and what other
28:18
information might be able to be
28:20
gained from the kinds of things
28:23
that some you might discover. Yes,
28:25
it's already identified as the possible
28:27
landing sites are there, but you're
28:29
right sense. And this sense I
28:31
feel ice is thought to lie
28:33
underneath some of the volcanic because
28:36
it's. So you know it's
28:38
probably pre days or the volcanic
28:40
activity. That means it's going by
28:42
almost to the dawn of the
28:44
solar system. Three Point Eight. Three
28:46
Point Nine. Thirty four billion years
28:48
ago. Really extraordinary
28:50
yeah, extraordinary him and discoveries that
28:53
route fantastic work by this team
28:55
of scientists they've They've identified all
28:57
kinds of volcanic features you know,
29:00
the since other stuff that sense
29:02
he gets of things called ruthless
29:04
cones which harm them. Basically.
29:07
Mounds that us around a
29:09
volcano the this is Tim
29:11
Ferris lava flows, pyroclastic deposits
29:13
us so all that you
29:15
know the the the rock
29:17
and and dust that comes
29:19
out of a volcano. ah
29:21
with we hear about pyroclastic
29:23
clothes on the it's on
29:25
on our own planet a
29:27
very very dangerous because they've
29:29
got carbon dioxide is well
29:31
in the atmosphere the can't
29:33
breathe in the but this
29:35
I cinders promise. All sorts
29:37
of stuff coming down and it's all
29:40
there in this region around the knocked
29:42
his for kind of so to purpose
29:44
of working thing. Indeed,
29:47
yet send out with a raid
29:49

30:58
can join us on our cue and I
31:00
episode coming up very very soon and thanks
31:02
to you in a studio for what I
31:05
do not know, but thanks anyway and will
