"Sponsored by K two vision RLE. It is 6 46 thank you for riding along with the northwest news radio team Bill O'Neal at the editor's desk on Brian Calvert sitting in for Rick along with Kim Sheppard. A warning about charity scams in the wake of hurricane Ian, Florida's chief financial officer says they're already starting to see impostor GoFundMe style crowdfunding sites. The state has set up a disaster relief site of its own, so if you're inclined, donations can be made at Florida disaster fund dot org. Closer to home, we have a traffic alert to make sure that you're aware of for the second week in a row, there's only one bridge across Lake Washington if you use in local freeways this weekend take note that the 5 20 floating bridge will be closed to night at 11 through early Monday morning in both directions. There will be no restrictions, however, on I 90. Now that the new James Webb telescope is sending back such remarkable images of celestial bodies, what's going to happen with the old Hubble telescope. Christian Davenport is covering this for The Washington Post, and if it's left alone how much life does such a valuable piece of equipment have left? Well, they think it'll eventually deorbit if nothing's done by about 2037 or so. But they want to extend the life of Hubble. I mean, yes, it's old, but it's still sending back images and NASA says it wasn't replaced by the James Webb Space Telescope and actually they're somewhat symbiotic and that those two telescopes can help NASA do science together so they're looking to extend the life of it. But it sounds like if there's going to be continued use or another trip to the telescope, NASA is going to need a little assistance. NASA doesn't have a way to send astronauts to space. The space shuttle was retired in 2011, so it relies on SpaceX to fly its crew and cargo to the International Space Station. NASA also works not just with government customers, but with the private sector and there is a tech billionaire named Jared isaacman who commissioned the series of flights with SpaceX and they're looking at the possibility SpaceX came to NASA and said, you know what? Why not on one of those flights? Why don't we boost the Hubble Space Telescope, take it to a higher orbit so that'll stay in space for longer before it creeps down back in, NASA was really intrigued by that idea. They said, maybe we should at least take a look at this. And so they're studying whether that's even feasible, whether it's something they can do. Jared, isaacman has commissioned this flight would be a private astronaut mission to orbit. You may remember he did one last year as a fundraiser for saint Jude's children hospital. He hasn't said how much he has paid for the flight, but he's already bought these flights from SpaceX. So SpaceX is essentially going to NASA and says, you know what? We can do this at little to no cost for you because we're going to go to space anyway. We're going to go to orbit. Why not stop by the Hubble Space Telescope and give it a tug? So if it can get a little bit of attention, any guests on how much life Hubble might have left after that. Well, I think there's NASA would like it to be up there for if they can if they can raise it, they could actually get another ten to 15 years of life added. I mean, we just saw, for example, the other day, NASA's dark mission. This was when they sent a spacecraft colliding into an asteroid, Hubble was able to actually take images of that. So it was able to see that. It's not as far out as the James Webb Space Telescope. It's only about 343 150 miles where web is at a million miles. It doesn't have the mirrors, but still, I mean, Hubble's legacy is incredible as part of a Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 for verifying that the universe was expanding. It's still out there. It's still sending back images of the solar system and the universe and NASA wants to keep those coming for as long as they can possibly get them. That's Christian Davenport from The Washington Post. At 6 50, it's time for your stock charts dot com, money update. For all ABC News, Wall Street now a bleak September comes to an end with more losses for stocks. The Dow plunged 500 points lots of almost one and three quarter percent the NASDAQ gave up a 162 and the S&P fell 55 both down about one and a half percent. The markets at Lowe's that we haven't seen in nearly two years as they close the books on the month, the main reason fear of possible recession as interest rates soar. That's the Federal Reserve's policy to try and bring inflation under control. The latest economic reports show that isn't happening though as fast as economists would like. Consumers spending, the fed's preferred gauge of inflation shows some slowing in the cost of goods, although price gains for services keep accelerating. Daria Alvin, ABC News.

How will this come together for the square kilometer array? The merging and expansion of these two telescopes into one continent spanning mega telescope. Well, so unfortunately it's not going to be a telescope that is the size of whatever the distance between South Africa and Australia is. The two parts of the square kilometer array that they're building on the two different continents are technologically very different because they're working at a different set of wavelengths, which is why murchison and Australia and meerkat and South Africa look radically different. So we're going to end up up with sprawling across South Africa, a series of you can recognize them as collecting radio signals, telescopes that together will each look at their own tiny patch of sky, but we're tiny is defined in uncomfortably large patches of the sky for us optical people. And when working together, each telescope's beam size becomes the field of view for.

"Why is it important for us to understand the basics of our galaxy and how it's formed? What you say? Well, I think it's also about understanding what our future maybe hopefully Hopefully, humans will be around for a very long time. And it would be good to know kind of what those clocks are telling us about how much time we may have left. She lays out a pretty aggressive timeline 2060 that she says she's going to map All the Galaxies. Yeah, the whole universe the whole shebang. Then we will understand our place in the universe. I mean, what else can you say? I understand are literally our place in the universe. Um, and that Is just an awe inspiring, I think achievement. How did you discover her work? You know, I was trying to think about this last night, actually, and I couldn't remember how I first came across Juna Kohlmeier, however. I do remember very vividly watching my first clip of her speaking and being like that is a Ted speaker. She just has a certain energy and I was like that as a kind of inspiring war cry battle cry that can kind of rally the troops to understand the universe. I mean, you can hear it in her voice like she is a battleship commander. Do you know what I mean? I would Do whatever that woman asked me to do. That's right Follower into battle. Yeah, and I do want to mention like it sounds so mundane when you describe where the two telescopes are that are actually gathering this data. Do you remember where they are? New Mexico and the Atacama Desert in Chile? That's less mundane. Perhaps, really, why is that because it's the driest place on Earth. Very good place to put a telescope. Oh, and of course, right. You get a lot of action in the sky at night. Not too many clouds. All right, so I want to go on to the second talk that you brought us. Another person who is studying space. Enrico Ramirez Ruiz. What does he do? So he calls himself a stellar mortician. He studies Yeah, the death of stars and the death of stars, it turns out are pretty important to your life.

"So many of you have mapped the moon phases over time with your is. Your is being your more basic telescope. And you've understood what that means with your brains your brains being one of your more basic instruments but if you're going to map the universe you're not going to do it. Was one of two year besties. The milky way galaxy has two hundred fifty billion plus or minus a few hundred billion stars. That is not a number that you hold in your head. That is a number. That doesn't make practical sense to pretty much. Anybody you never get two hundred and fifty billion jelly beans in your hand. We're nowhere near mapping all of those stars yet so we have to choose the most interesting ones mapping six million stars where we think we can measure their age because if you can measure the age of a star that's like having six million clocks read all throughout the milky way and with that information we can unravel the history and fossil record of our galaxy and learn how it formed. I love love. love that description. The six million clocks spread throughout the galaxy. So just lay it out for us though. David what makes juneau's work so groundbreaking well it. It were truly as space break. Yes something like that. It really is about a deeper understanding both of the galaxy we live in and then the broader universe so we aren't entirely sure how old the milky way is. We aren't entirely sure for that matter. How old the universes and we can only access So much light that light has to travel across vast distances which is also vast expanses of time to reach us and by digging through that fossil record as she puts it We can start to get a better understanding of where the milky way came from what caused it to form was it was it clumps of dark matter that kind of pulled in the matter we can see And created galaxies or or. Was it something else. There might be new physics that we can understand by looking at this better map of our region. Juna there's a sense about her. That i makes me think like well. Why what difference does it make. Were here were on earth. And she's like 'cause that's what being human is. It's wanting to understand where we come from where we've been and if you really wanna get existential this is seriously existential looking at billions of stars and how it's the story of humans in some way and it's scratching that itch of Curiosity i think it's a very old impulse to sit there on the ground in the dark of night and look up at the stars and wonder what are those things. It's our calling card as a species in the galaxy to figure things out back in the day. Maybe we thought they were pinpricks in a curtain of night now we know a little bit better their stars and their way out there and there's this whole vast universe for us to to understand what a playground for our curiosity. We know our planet we cure are diseases. We cook our food. We leave our planet but it's not easy. Understanding the universe is battle. It is unrelenting it is time varying and it is one. We are all in together. It is a battle in the darkness against the darkness which is why orion has weapons any case. If you're going to engage in this battle you need to know the battlefield. So why is it important for us to understand the basics of our galaxy and how it's formed which you say. Well i think it's also about understanding what are our future may be. Hopefully hopefully humans will be around for a very long time And it would be good to know kind of what those clocks are telling us about how much time we may have left.

The short answer is, we don't know. I think you and the rest of the public are now witnessing pretty exciting Discovery but as long involves as it unfolds, we did not wait until we had, you know, years of data. From ten different instruments across several layers. The atmosphere we waited until we had two telescopes with independent data months apart, but still, the date is week, it's noisy home delicate. It's very much at the edge of instrument sensibility just a petit and so we still don't even know if it is fostering. We don't even really know if the signal is real, people still talk about that.

"But this is a what. And it's actually an instrument which is being built in australia for the european southern observatory's very large telescope which is in chile and the basically the instrument is going to as you said it's going to outperform the hubble telescope on one of the four eight point two meter telescopes of the european southern observatory's very large telescope. That's its name collective name for these four telescopes and a few other small ones. Besides in fact navies is destined for telescope. Which is officially known as ut for but all those four eight point two two telescopes the european southern observatory got names from chilean indigenous culture and ut for is the upon and remember what which one that is. I think it is. It may be serious. Serious the brightest star in our in our tradition in chilean japan is probably the other ones are named after things like the southern cross and other constellations anyway enough of that because that's not about movies. Maybe he's actually an acronym. You might have guessed. That andrew stands for dhaka shock horror. So it's i the is actually an acronym itself it's the short for. Mca oh mca. Oh stands for multi. Conjugate adaptive optics. So what that means is some very fancy technology that takes the twinkle out of stars because the twinkle is a blurring effect strong ate and without the twinkle. You always have performance equal to the hubble telescope. So the twinkle remover. Mca oh is the of mavis. The rest is assisted visible imager and they are assisted visible imager spectrograph. What it does is now implies. It will allow you to form images of celestial objects with incredible clarity because you're essentially eliminating the atmosphere even though you're not telescope on on earth about twelve thousand feet i think of it rather more than three nine three three and a half thousand meters i think is the is the height of the vlt thereabouts. That gets you gets you some some of the way. But the the adaptive optic systems is what really eliminates the the blurring effect of the atmosphere. Until it will form images that rival hubble and in fact a essentially it's expected to be three times clearer than hubble. Sometimes these things take awhile to get to but the other side of spectrograph. That's the really important bit because spectrography is that universal tool that astronomers use to probe what stars amid off to probe what's going on in galaxies to probe whether stars planets around them all of these things come out of observations were the spectra graphing which the light is broken up into its rainbow colors and we analyze that bar code of information that he superimposed on on the radio spectrum. So it's it's fantastic stuff. It's a number of universities that are involved the leader actually of the project. While i certainly one of the senior members chap called richard mcdermott. Who i know well. He's at macquarie university. Here in sydney richard and i have in common that we were both educated in the same scottish university university of andrews formed our formed in fourteen thirteen hours there a couple years later under what it feels like any me. Too short does well. Do we know when this will be online. I don't know but it's what's happened is the macquarie and other institutions including the university of sydney and i think is an italian component as well as trailing national university. They have done a feasibility. Study which has been accepted by the gurus at the european southern observatory and there are now to build it. The expectation is about seven years to build and these things take a long time under. They're not quick to build one of the things that i was doing at siding..

"Of kilometers of the australian and south african karoo. These will be split up into the esca frequency phased arrays which will be dipoto antennas covering the fifty to three hundred and fifty megahertz frequency range and grouped in one hundred meter diameter stations. Each containing around night he elements this gay. Mid frequency array will include several thousand twelve meter editions covering the three hundred and fifty megahertz to fourteen gigahertz frequency range and the s a survey array. We use a compact array of twelve. Fifteen made a. I'm at a parabolic medium-frequency dishes h equipped with multibeam phase. The ray fade covering the fringe and fifty megahertz to four gigahertz range. Its size and wide. Range of operating frequencies will make the square kilometer array at least fifty times more sensitive than any other radio telescope in the world. The australian facility will be based at the says iras murchison radio astronomy observatory in with them. Stralia where it already has. Two operational main instruments square kilometer array pathfinder or ascot which uses thirty six identical twelve made a parabolic dishes working together as a single instrument. Hi sensitive surveys. And the murchison wide filled array which comprises eighty three hundred megahertz low-frequency cross correlating signal dipolmats mounted on one hundred twenty eight face tiles comprising sixteen die paul's each a third separate instrument his edges the experiment to detect the global epoch of realization signature antenna and low noise amplifier radio telescope. It's designed to detect the ridge. Twenty one centimeter hydrogen line from the cosmic dorn and epoch of realization while south africa has its precursor facility. Known may at an array of sixty four thirteen and a half made dishes covering the five hundred and eighty megahertz the fourteen gigahertz frequency range. There's also the seven dish cat. Seven engineering and science testbed instrument the knee perth supercomputer will be complemented by a second unit in south africa. Pay working to process. The president amounts of data expected to be produced by the observatory. Some sixty peta. Bytes of data is expected to be stored and distributed worldwide to the science community every year. That's enough to fill more than half a million top end. Laptops of the project will begin early next year and take at least ten years to complete the project's partners include australia. The netherlands canada china france germany india italy japan korea portugal south africa spain sweden switzerland and the uk find out more andrew. Dunkley speaking with trauma professor fred watson. the australian government's chipping in a. Yeah a mea. Three hundred ninety seven million dollars. That's real money. I mean it's have to say that my colleagues piccolo work with an amongst in the department of industry science energy and resources who put together the budget considerations and things they were working flat out on this for the past few weeks and certainly last week there were getting ill tidied up to what this signifies is the australian government's ongoing support for the square kilometre array project which is two telescopes an array of one hundred thirty one thousand and seventy two antennas. Which looked like christmas trees in australia. That's the low frequency array the mid frequency array is going to be in south africa where they have something like sixty dishes which look at you know the slightly higher frequency range so a two pronged attack on the universe to build the world's biggest telescope and the signals australia's ongoing support for of course government. So it was after. Put the positive spin on things like jobs and growth. Those are the mantras of governments all over the world and indeed the big numbers involved there too. There are something like three hundred fifty new jobs being created during the construction period. Ten year construction period and then over the fifty year life of the project. Because this is going to outlast. You and andrew is. They'll be two hundred and thirty ongoing positions. This is you know this is serious stuff. These these are big numbers for the jobs that this gigantic project will build a just to mention as well that well two things one is that. It's not just australia in this. There are sixteen nations and are signed up for it. Sixteen member countries all over the world. Actually i might just listen because it's quite an interesting bunch australia. Canada china france germany india italy japan korea the netherlands portugal south africa spain sweden switzerland and the united kingdom are in the wild might notice one country that isn't in the united states because they're interested in radio. Astronomy don't really align with what the member countries are doing. So it's not. It's not taking and going home or anything. It's just a natural thing about the scientific endeavors of these countries but to anybody who's listening to us. In one of those listed countries well done your country is part and parcel of the k community and what was going to say is that that investment. The australian government has put in. It means that what you're doing is you're stimulating. Foreign income flows into australia. Because of that and certainly in the first thirty years operations they estimate one point. Eight billion in foreign income will come into into australia so very important stuff and one final thing to mention is that there is a chunk of that budget sixty four point four million in establishing a specialist supercomputing center. Which will be per australia to do. All the the thing about the it generates ten times the current or it will generate ten times the current internet of the whole of the internet. And they'll do ten times over. So you need these enormous computing centers to do that. It's very exciting stuff. I'm delighted we could get a chance to talk about it and well. Let's me waving my flag for the The country that is close to my heart closest to my heart. I suppose we should just for the sake of it. Refresh people's memories as to what the k. As role is going to say what are we trying to achieve with it. So it will. It's remarkable it's rhema is the entire history of the universe basically because the kinds of things will be looking at the dark ages that time between the big bang and the first star switching on when the universe has a lot of cold hydrogen and it which the s k will be able to not only detect but to map it out to see where it lay and how that formed the universe is growth and then things like the origin of magnetic fields in the universe. That's one of the key targets of the k one. the. I am very interested in very keenum. Is that s. K will detect very large number of pulse these a neutron star spinning neutron styles that essentially let us test gravity at very extreme levels neutron stars and black holes the most gravitational league strong objects that we can see. And so what you're really interested in is looking at these objects in detail to see whether relatively still works that these high gravitational intensity levels because relativity is our best theory of stuff in the universe but we know it's got holes in it we know it doesn't completely work so this is one of the things that in fact had in mind about two years ago i i went before a committee. A high level political committee which was ratifying the treaty that the square kilometer array the international treaty that it's going to be built under and I promise them nobel prizes which might have been my personal guarantee that this would generate nobel prizes and that actually appeared in insult so it was record not entirely throwaway. Common of course of major can promise anything andrew but not a throwaway comment. Because i believe that if if the reveals insights into the absolute fabric of reality that underpins all of relativity and quantum theory and everything and it may well do that will certainly generate nobel prizes. So all of the above plus just finally coming right today. S k can detect an airport. Right our fifty light years so who knows what we might pick up going on in our neighborhood in the in the universe in terms of species. That's dr fred watson and astronomer. The department of science speaking with andrew dunkley analasyst the program space nuts and this space time still to come and exciting you interstellar mission on the drawing boards and successful high altitude test. Flights spacex stash it. All that and more still to come.

"This is an announcement that was made last week. I have to say that my colleagues piccolo work with an amongst in the department of industry science energy and resources who put together the budget considerations and things they were working flat out on this for the past few weeks and certainly last week there were getting ill tidied up and then the announcement was made on wednesday which is great so what. This signifies is the australian government's ongoing support for the square kilometre project which i'll listeners. I'm sure we'll remember is is two telescopes. An array of telescopes hundred and eight hundred sixty thousand of them is the number. We're getting that right. i think so. No one hundred and thirty hundred thirty one thousand and seventy two antennas. Which looked like christmas trees in australia. That's the low frequency array the mid frequency you array is going to be in south africa where they have something like sixty dishes which look at the slightly higher frequency range so it's a two pronged attack on the universe to build the world's biggest telescope and as i said this signals australia's ongoing support for it. Of course government sought after put the positive spin on things like jobs and growth. Those are the mantras governments all over the world and indeed this is really big numbers. Involved there too. There are something like three hundred fifty new jobs being created during the construction period. The ten year construction period then over the fifty year life of the project. Because this is going to outlast you and true yes it is they'll be two hundred and thirty ongoing positions. This is this is serious stuff these are. These are big numbers for for the jobs. This gigantic project will build a just mentioned as well that a well. Two things one is that. It's it's not just australia in this. I think sixteen nations and are signed up for it sixteen member countries all over the world. Actually i might just listen because it's quite an interesting bunch australia..
