JPL and the Space Age: The Hunt for Space Rocks
Asteroids and comets are among the oldest objects in our solar system. They mostly reside at safe distances from Earth, but some find their way into our planetary backyard.
Every day, the Earth receives visitors from outer space: tons of space debris that mostly goes unnoticed. Some of these “shooting stars,” however, do survive the fiery descent through the atmosphere. That’s what happened to the dinosaurs 65 million years ago when a massive asteroid – or comet – struck Earth. But as the saying goes: "The dinosaurs didn't have a space agency. Fortunately, we do."
“The Hunt for Space Rocks” chronicles JPLs pioneering work to understand asteroids and comets as part of NASA’s larger effort to protect our planet from cosmic marauders. From JPL’s effort to mount a mission to study the most famous comet of all – Halley’s comet – to the lab’s current role in planetary defense with its Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). The documentary drives home a clear message: We need to find the asteroids and comets before they find us.

NASA | Massive Black Hole Shreds Passing Star
This artist’s rendering illustrates new findings about a star shredded by a black hole. When a star wanders too close to a black hole, intense tidal forces rip the star apart. In these events, called “tidal disruptions,” some of the stellar debris is flung outward at high speed while the rest falls toward the black hole. This causes a distinct X-ray flare that can last for a few years. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Swift Gamma-ray Burst Explorer, and ESA/NASA’s XMM-Newton collected different pieces of this astronomical puzzle in a tidal disruption event called ASASSN-14li, which was found in an optical search by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) in November 2014. The event occurred near a supermassive black hole estimated to weigh a few million times the mass of the sun in the center of PGC 043234, a galaxy that lies about 290 million light-years away. Astronomers hope to find more events like ASASSN-14li to test theoretical models about how black holes affect their environments.
During the tidal disruption event, filaments containing much of the star's mass fall toward the black hole. Eventually these gaseous filaments merge into a smooth, hot disk glowing brightly in X-rays. As the disk forms, its central region heats up tremendously, which drives a flow of material, called a wind, away from the disk.

This is not financial advice. You may be asking, “What does that mean?”
Let me explain…
Do not just do what I, my team, or my guest say. That would be stupid and irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own decisions.
YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are here. Neither I, nor my team, nor my guests, know your risk levels, prior education, emotional maturity, or how much money you can afford to lose.
We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for yourself. There are NEVER guarantees.
Also, understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in mind, we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned on this show. While it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our recommendations.
Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide education and there will always be more opportunities.

S. Korea declares buffer zone is no longer effective after N. Korea fires artillery shells
For the past three days, North Korea has fired artillery shells into waters off its west coast, raising tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
In response, the South Korean military has declared the buffer zone to prevent accidental clashes is no longer valid.
This could mean the military agreement signed five years ago is practically scrapped.
Our foreign affairs correspondent Bae Eun-ji has our top story.
On September 19th, 2018, the two Koreas signed an inter-Korean military agreement that set up buffer zones for land, air and sea to reduce tensions and prevent accidental clashes.
But following the North's recent provocations, the South Korean military officially declared on Monday that these zones outlined in the agreement are no longer effective.
"North Korea has breached the September 19 military agreement more than 3,000 times. And over the last three days, it has fired artillery shells in the West Sea. As a result, the zone where all hostile activities are banned no longer exists."
The Joint Chiefs of Staff also said the military will not respond to every provocation initiated by North Korea, and instead, conduct firing exercises according to its own schedule.
The maritime buffer zone in the West Sea extends 135 kilometers.
That's 85 kilometers south of the NLL, or the Northern Limit Line that separates the two Koreas, and 50 kilometers north of the line.
There's also a separate buffer zone in the East Sea that spans 80 kilometers.
Provocative actions are prohibited in these zones, including firing artillery shells and coastal guns.
The North had already said last November that it's withdrawing from the pact, and it has rebuilt guard posts inside the DMZ.
With South Korea's announcement on Monday, the agreement is now practically scrapped.
This comes after the South Korean military detected around 90 artillery shots by the North on Sunday afternoon.
North Korea also fired over 200 shells on Friday, and 60 on Saturday.
However, in an attempt to shame the South Korean military's detection capabilities --North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong --claimed the North had not fired a single shell on Saturday, but instead, detonated explosives simulating the sound of artillery fire.
The South Korean military immediately dismissed the statement, calling it a quote "comedy-like propaganda."
In fact, according to military sources, the South Korean military detected the North blowing up explosives only 10 times before and after Saturday's shelling which shows the North's claims are not true.
An expert says the intention behind North Korea's latest provocation is to grab local and international headlines.
"in a world distracted by Gaza and Ukraine, North Korea is saying we're still here, and we're starting the year with these types of artillery rounds. That garners a lot of international attention."

A Decade of Sun
As of June 2020, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory — SDO — has now been watching the Sun non-stop for over a full decade. From its orbit in space around the Earth, SDO has gathered 425 million high-resolution images of the Sun, amassing 20 million gigabytes of data over the past 10 years. This information has enabled countless new discoveries about the workings of our closest star and how it influences the solar system.
With a triad of instruments, SDO captures an image of the Sun every 0.75 seconds. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument alone captures images every 12 seconds at 10 different wavelengths of light. This 10-year time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer — the corona. Compiling one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in activity that occurs as part of the Sun’s 11-year solar cycle and notable events, like transiting planets and eruptions. The custom music, titled “Solar Observer,” was composed by musician Lars Leonhard (https://www.lars-leonhard.de/).
While SDO has kept an unblinking eye pointed towards the Sun, there have been a few moments it missed. The dark frames in the video are caused by Earth or the Moon eclipsing SDO as they pass between the spacecraft and the Sun. A longer blackout in 2016 was caused by a temporary issue with the AIA instrument that was successfully resolved after a week. The images where the Sun is off-center were observed when SDO was calibrating its instruments.
SDO and other NASA missions will continue to watch our Sun in the years to come, providing further insights about our place in space and information to keep our astronauts and assets safe.
Some noteworthy events appear briefly in this time lapse. Use the time links below to jump to each event, or follow the links to more detailed views.
