King Henry VIII had his second 9 00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:59,640 wife Anne Boleyn committed to the Tower 10 00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:02,160 of London on charges of adultery and 11 00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:05,820 incest although likely innocent she was 12 00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:10,260 later convicted and beheaded on this day 13 00:01:18,109 --> 00:01:13,979 in 1536 here's your fader fact 14 00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:18,119 if the human brain were a computer 15 00:01:24,770 --> 00:01:21,659 it could perform 38 000 trillion 16 00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:24,780 operations per second the world's most 17 00:01:30,370 --> 00:01:28,380 powerful supercomputer Frontier can 18 00:01:34,249 --> 00:01:30,380 manage only 19 00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:34,259 .002 percent of that 20 00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:35,939 and that 21 00:01:40,249 --> 00:01:37,860 is your fader fact 22 00:01:43,069 --> 00:01:40,259 let's get to the breaking news uh this 23 00:01:46,569 --> 00:01:43,079 broke yesterday uh during the show last 24 00:01:48,649 --> 00:01:46,579 night Gordon Lightfoot the Canadian 25 00:01:50,929 --> 00:01:48,659 singer-songwriter whose hits included 26 00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:50,939 The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and 27 00:01:58,429 --> 00:01:54,780 Sundown died yesterday of natural causes 28 00:02:03,289 --> 00:01:58,439 at 7 30 p.m at Sunnybrook Hospital in 29 00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:03,299 Toronto Canada he was 84 years old 30 00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:06,840 rest in peace Gordon Lightfoot 31 00:02:14,089 --> 00:02:11,280 all right here we go balloons are back 32 00:02:16,130 --> 00:02:14,099 the U.S military is currently tracking a 33 00:02:18,610 --> 00:02:16,140 balloon that recent that was recently 34 00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:18,620 spotted over parts of Hawaii 35 00:02:25,130 --> 00:02:22,680 its country of origin remains a mystery 36 00:02:27,229 --> 00:02:25,140 the military believes the balloon poses 37 00:02:30,110 --> 00:02:27,239 no threat to air traffic or national 38 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:30,120 security it is not clear whether the 39 00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:33,120 object is actually a weather balloon it 40 00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:35,760 is not communicating signals and doesn't 41 00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:39,420 appear to be maneuverable the balloon is 42 00:02:45,410 --> 00:02:42,780 currently moving towards Mexico and if 43 00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:45,420 it does near land it's possible the 44 00:02:51,710 --> 00:02:49,560 United States will also shoot it down I 45 00:02:55,009 --> 00:02:51,720 will keep you posted 46 00:02:58,250 --> 00:02:55,019 check this out a long time ago in a 47 00:03:01,130 --> 00:02:58,260 Galaxy not so far away a supermassive 48 00:03:02,770 --> 00:03:01,140 black hole ripped a star to shred in the 49 00:03:04,449 --> 00:03:02,780 center of the Galaxy 50 00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:04,459 NGC 51 00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:07,620 7392 the flash of light from the black 52 00:03:14,809 --> 00:03:11,340 holes dinner finally reached Earth in 53 00:03:18,410 --> 00:03:14,819 2014 and astronomers have just 54 00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:18,420 discovered it in their data the newly 55 00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:21,680 detected Outburst from the center of NGC 56 00:03:28,490 --> 00:03:26,400 7392 is the closest yet example of a 57 00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:28,500 tidal disruption event otherwise known 58 00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,280 as a TDE where a star is pulled apart by 59 00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:34,560 the massive gravitational pull of a 60 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:36,840 black hole the findings were published 61 00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:40,560 April 28th in the astrophysical journal 62 00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:41,640 letters 63 00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:44,760 the black hole was spotted roughly 137 64 00:03:50,990 --> 00:03:47,280 million light years from Earth or about 65 00:03:54,610 --> 00:03:51,000 35 million times as far as Proxima 66 00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:54,620 Centauri the closest star to our sun 67 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:56,879 astronomers have only observed around 68 00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:00,720 100 of these events so far and this one 69 00:04:06,430 --> 00:04:03,599 is four times closer than the previous 70 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:06,440 title holder of the closest 71 00:04:12,289 --> 00:04:10,080 TDE to Earth 72 00:04:14,270 --> 00:04:12,299 we could be on the verge of a major 73 00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:14,280 breakthrough in the search for the 74 00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:17,280 worlds uh that might support life 75 00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:20,220 because astronomers just use the James 76 00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:22,740 Webb Space Telescope to observe water 77 00:04:30,590 --> 00:04:28,020 vapor around GC 486b which orbits a red 78 00:04:34,129 --> 00:04:30,600 dwarf star located 26 light years away 79 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,139 in the Virgo constellation the water 80 00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:36,720 vapor could indicate the presence of an 81 00:04:41,689 --> 00:04:38,820 atmosphere around the extrasolar planet 82 00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:41,699 or exoplanet a discovery that could be 83 00:04:46,909 --> 00:04:43,919 important for our search for habitable 84 00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:46,919 worlds outside of our solar system 85 00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:48,900 however 86 00:04:53,689 --> 00:04:51,060 the scientists behind the discovery 87 00:04:57,409 --> 00:04:53,699 caution that this water vapor could be 88 00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:57,419 coming from the world's host star rather 89 00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:00,479 than the planet itself the astronomers 90 00:05:06,110 --> 00:05:02,000 observed 91 00:05:09,710 --> 00:05:06,120 GJ 486b with the James Webb Space 92 00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:09,720 Telescope for two transits Each of which 93 00:05:14,749 --> 00:05:12,720 lasted for just an hour they then 94 00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:14,759 analyzed and collected the data using 95 00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:17,400 three distant methods which showed the 96 00:05:22,610 --> 00:05:20,220 same pattern a flat Spectrum with an 97 00:05:25,010 --> 00:05:22,620 interesting Peak and short wave inner 98 00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,020 infrared light they determined that the 99 00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:27,840 most likely cause of this peak is water 100 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:29,759 vapor 101 00:05:35,390 --> 00:05:33,360 six people were confirmed dead in a 102 00:05:39,290 --> 00:05:35,400 series of Highway collisions yesterday 103 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:39,300 in rural Illinois that was blamed on a 104 00:05:42,290 --> 00:05:40,320 blinding 105

--> 00:05:49,919 life-threatening Illinois State Police 109 00:05:55,930 --> 00:05:52,800 said in a statement last night the 110 00:05:58,850 --> 00:05:55,940 collisions reported just before 11 A.M 111 00:06:01,490 --> 00:05:58,860 involved 72 vehicles and multiple 112 00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:01,500 pileups along a two-mile stretch of 113 00:06:10,490 --> 00:06:06,360 Interstate 55 north of Farmersville 114 00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:10,500 a dust storm in Illinois incredible 115 00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:14,880 now I'm Gonna Leave You with this and I 116 00:06:21,469 --> 00:06:17,520 need you
