Dr. Becky | JWST has turned the Crisis in Cosmology into a bigger problem | Night Sky News August 2024 @DrBecky | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 3 hours ago
AD | To try everything Brilliant has to offer for free for a full 30 days, visit brilliant.org/DrBecky and you'll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription. | Hello and welcome to this episode of Night Sky News for August 2024. This is the show where we chat about what you should look out for in the night sky in the next month, and what’s been happening in space news in the past month. In this episode we’ve got to chat about JWST’s long awaited look at the crisis in cosmology (aka the Hubble Tension) which it turns out it hasn’t solved like we thought earlier in the year, plus how NASA astronauts are currently stuck on board the International Station, along with the installation of the Rubin Observatory's secondary mirror, AND chat about the new evidence that there’s water reservoirs underground on Mars! And of course we'll touch on how to spot the planets in the sky in the next month, including the crescent Moon pairing with Mars, Jupiter and the Pleiades star cluster at the end of August.

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
