In this Astronomy Daily podcast episode, new host Tim Gibbs (AstroTim) is joined by Halley to discuss the latest news in space exploration. Private companies like Astrobotic, Intuitive Machines, Mast and Space Systems, Blue Origin, and SpaceX are planning multiple missions to the Moon, some to deliver scientific instruments and payloads, while others will transport humans in the future. SpaceX's Starship rocket prototype achieved launch successfully, but it exploded during its seperation attempt. Thales has successfully demonstrated its ability to protect a demonstration satellite from cyberattacks, highlighting the need for increased cybersecurity measures in space. Astria has launched a new satellite tasking capability in partnership with major satellite imagery providers, enabling customers to request and receive tasking of high-resolution satellite imagery within hours, offering more efficient and cost-effective access to high-resolution satellite imagery. Researchers at USC are collaborating with the software company Tangram Flex to replace the software components within legacy satellites to repurpose them, which could result in cost savings and less space debris. Voyager Two, launched in 1977, has begun using a small reservoir of backup power to keep its five science instruments operating, enabling the mission to postpone shutting down the science instruments until 2026.

Do Exoplanets Have Magnetic Fields?

In this episode, the hosts dive into the topic of magnetic fields on exoplanets and their importance for potentially supporting life. The discussion touches on the role of Earth's magnetic field in shielding the atmosphere and the planet's surface from harmful subatomic particles. For a rocky planet to have a magnetic field, the presence of an iron and nickel core is essential, as it generates a magnetic field as the planet rotates. For life to exist or have the potential to exist on these planets, having a magnetic field could play a crucial role, offering a protective layer against harmful cosmic radiation. Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson highlight the recent discovery of the first exoplanet with a magnetic field, YZ Ceti B, which is located around 12 light-years away and orbits an M-dwarf star. Scientists have used radio emissions from the star to study the interaction between the planet and the star's magnetic field, revealing that YZ Ceti B generates bursts of radio emissions, an indication of it having its own magnetic field. This discovery holds great significance as it suggests that other rocky exoplanets may also have magnetic fields, making them potential candidates for supporting life. However, some exceptions in our own solar system, such as Venus and Mars, challenge this notion.

I'm seeing this thing that no one has seen happen before, which is always a nice thing when you're a working astronomer and you're sitting at a big telescope somewhere and something turns up. - Professor Fred Watson
