here's the headline see Corona borealis 10 00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:27,420 the northern crown tonight look for the 11 00:00:32,659 --> 00:00:30,060 constellation Corona borealis which is 12 00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:32,669 also called the northern crown you're 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:34,800 going to need a dark sky to see it but 14 00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:36,930 if you've got one this constellation is 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:39,180 fairly easy to pick out because it makes 16 00:00:44,569 --> 00:00:42,210 the shape of the letter C do see this 17 00:00:46,279 --> 00:00:44,579 famous C shaped assemblage of stars from 18 00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:46,289 the northern hemisphere during the 19 00:00:51,049 --> 00:00:48,480 evening hours in July you'll have to be 20 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:51,059

00:00:56,930 northern sky Corona borealis 24 00:01:02,420 --> 00:00:59,430 constellation is distinctive it looks 25 00:01:04,969 --> 00:01:02,430 like a half circle hence that C shape in 26 00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:04,979 the middle of which is a white jewel of 27 00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:07,380 a star called alphecca or gemma 28 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:11,630 o let's spell alphecca it's al phe CCA 29 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:14,010 Gemma well that's pretty easy 30 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:16,530 two more bright stars are added to this 31 00:01:20,770 --> 00:01:18,930 crown in fact the crown is located more 32 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:20,780 or less along a line between them 33 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:23,490 Arcturus in the constellation Bootes the 34 00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:26,130 herdsman and Vega in the constellation 35 00:01:28,999 --> 00:01:28,500 Lyra the harp Arcturus has already 36 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:29,009 passed 37 00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:30,570 its highest point in the evening this 38 00:01:35,539 --> 00:01:33,119 time of year and it's slowly descending 39 00:01:35,899 --> 00:01:35,549 to the west Vega is still high in the 40 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:35,909 east 41

to Vega by the way the 47 00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:52,259 meaning of the Latin star named Gemma 48 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:55,140 should be obvious this star is the gem 49 00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:57,930 of the northern crown but the star is 50 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:00,479 also called alphecca from an ancient 51 00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:03,090 Arabic phrase meaning the bright one of 52 00:02:09,529 -->

foray into 95 00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:56,069 space is the first time Street View 96 00:04:01,159 --> 00:03:58,650 imagery was captured beyond planet Earth 97 00:04:03,649 --> 00:04:01,169 in a blog post about his experience 98 00:04:06,140 --> 00:04:03,659 thomas pesquet wrote that quote it was 99 00:04:08,119 --> 00:04:06,150 difficult to find the words or take a 100 00:04:10,909 --> 00:04:08,129 picture that accurately describes the 101 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:10,919 feeling of being in space working with 102 00:04:15,229 --> 00:04:13,290 Google on my latest mission I captured 103 00:04:16,969 --> 00:04:15,239 Street View imagery to show what the 104 00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:16,979 International Space Station looks like 105 00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:19,470 from the inside and share what it's like 106 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:21,870 to look down on Earth from space and 107 00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:24,930 quotes the virtual tour allows users to 108 00:04:30,290 --> 00:04:26,760 peek

00:04:35,010 that may look a bit cramped and chaotic 112 00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:37,890 if not altogether dizzying to humans 113 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:40,260 anchored on earth but some of the scenes 114 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:41,850 from inside the International Space 115 00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:45,210 Station are down right mesmerizing this 116 00:04:50,630 --> 00:04:47,190 broadcaster confesses to spending way 117 00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:50,640 too much time there yesterday the images 118 00:04:55,850 --> 00:04:53,550 were captured using the DSLR cameras and 119 00:04:58,670 --> 00:04:55,860 then stitched together back on earth 120 00:05:01,250 --> 00:04:58,680 to create those panoramic views pass cat 121 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:01,260 noted that the ISS is a busy place with 122 00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:03,690 six crew members working in researching 123 00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:06,960 12 hours a day he wrote quote there are 124 00:05:11,420 --> 00:05:09,180 a lot of obstacles up there and we had 125 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:11,430 limited time to capture the imagery so 126 00:05:15,470 --> 00:05:13,290 we had to be confident that our approach 127 00:05:18,340 --> 00:05:15,480 would work oh and then there's that 128 00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:18,350 whole zero-gravity thing and quotes 129 00:05:23,030 --> 00:05:20,580 floating through the International Space 130 00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:23,040 Station online you'll notice clickable 131 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:25,260 dots with detailed descriptions of that 132 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:26,850 space and its object 133 00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:28,650 that'll help viewers understand what 134 00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:31,080 they're looking at pass cat notice this 135 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:33,300 is the first time

more pieces of the 147 00:06:07,010 --> 00:06:04,230 station were added the station was ready 148 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:07,020 for people according to NASA portions of 149 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:08,970 the station are connected via modules 150 00:06:15,020 --> 00:06:12,210 known as nodes quote the first crew 151 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:15,030 arrived November 2nd 2000 NASA writes 152 00:06:19,820 --> 00:06:17,130 people have lived on a space station 153 00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:19,830 ever since over time more pieces have 154 00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:21,900 been added NASA and its partners around 155 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:24,560 the world finished the space station in 156 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:28,650 2011 and quotes NASA compares the inside 157 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:30,240

conduct experiments and studies that we 169 00:07:02,209 --> 00:07:00,659 wouldn't be able to do from Earth things 170 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:02,219 like monitoring how the human body 171 00:07:08,119 --> 00:07:05,490 reacts to microgravity solving mysteries 172 00:07:10,369 --> 00:07:08,129 of the immune system studying cyclones 173 00:07:12,739 --> 00:07:10,379 to alert populations and

has a 213 00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:49,860 scene that showcases the International 214 00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:51,990 Space Station as it grows into a 215 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:53,460 galactic United 216 00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:55,530 nation's hosting meet and greets with 217 00:08:58,700 --> 00:08:57,630 representatives from earth and later 218 00:09:01,340 --> 00:08:58,710 aliens 219 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:01,350 it grows physically too until it is 220 00:09:06,140 --> 00:09:02,970 large enough that it needs to be moved 221 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:06,150 out of low Earth orbit the International 222 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:08,490 Space Station's evolution is a plausible 223 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:10,320 one the station has a history of 224 00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:12,090 bringing cultures together to build 225 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:15,540 itself and to exchange ideas in valerian 226 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,730 the first greeting in the montage takes 227 00:09:22,490 --> 00:09:19,680 place in the not-too-distant year of 228 00:09:24,890 --> 00:09:22,500 2020 where two human astronauts are 229 00:09:27,710 --> 00:09:24,900 shown embracing their colleagues and 230 00:09:30,650 --> 00:09:27,720 lovers and as we advance in time we see 231 00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:30,660 increasingly strange aliens introduce 232 00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:32,880 themselves to humans on board the 233 00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:35,280 station certainly the International 234 00:09:39,950 --> 00:09:37,020 crews that have continuously occupied 235 00:09:42,110 --> 00:09:39,960 the existing ISS since 2000 would have 236 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:42,120 milder reactions to meeting foreign 237 00:09:46,910 --> 00:09:44,370 astronauts than hypothetically meeting 238 00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:46,920 alien life-forms however the 239 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:48,510 International Space Station was 240 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:50,970 nevertheless groundbreaking in its 241 00:09:55,730 --> 00:09:53,850 ability to unite five space agencies to 242 00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:55,740 expand scientific research possibilities 243 00:10:00,860 --> 00:09:58,560 and to mend older nationalistic 244 00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:00,870 divisions many of the space programs 245 00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:03,270 involved with the station NASA United 246 00:10:09,620 --> 00:10:06,660 States Rose cosmos Russia CSA Canada 247 00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:09,630 JAXA Japan and the European Space Agency 248 00:10:14,770 --> 00:10:12,480 Europe include countries that have ward 249 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:14,780 with one another in the last century 250 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:17,610 early concepts for the ISS had the space 251 00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:19,530 station taking the shape of a giant 252 00:10:24,350 --> 00:10:22,320 wheel Verner von braun developed the 253 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:24,360 international space station concept back 254 00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:28,530 in 1952 his concept was round in order 255 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:30,420 to provide simulated gravity through 256 00:10:36,170 --> 00:10:33,510 rotation with a capacity to house dozens 257 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:36,180 of scientists science fiction story 258 00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:38,010 tellers were clearly inspired by these 259 00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:41,310 concepts and a few years later in 1968 260 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:44,760 Stanley Kubrick's film 2001 a Space 261 00:10:49,490 --> 00:10:47,370 Odyssey developed a model for a space 262 00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:49,500 station that was in that similar wheel 263 00:10:55,580 --> 00:10:53,310 shape the year before 1967 the first 264 00:10:57,980 --> 00:10:55,590 issue of the Leon and Laura lein was 265 00:11:00,410 --> 00:10:57,990 published and according to valerian film 266 00:11:02,810 --> 00:11:00,420 representatives Point central in the 267 00:11:05,510 --> 00:11:02,820 comic a vast space station that lies at 268 00:11:06,889 --> 00:11:05,520 the crossroads of space inspired alpha 269 00:11:09,290 --> 00:11:06,899 in this film adaptation 270 00:11:12,619 --> 00:11:09,300 that concept actually appeared a few 271 00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:12,629 years later in the 1975 comic velaryon 272 00:11:19,069 --> 00:11:16,860 volume 6 ambassador of the shadows right 273 00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:19,079 now NASA and United States officials 274 00:11:22,850 --> 00:11:21,420 have only promised to fund the ISS 275 00:11:25,429 --> 00:11:22,860 through 2024 276 00:11:28,189 --> 00:11:25,439 so it's uncertain what the future will 277 00:11:30,499 --> 00:11:28,199 hold for the orbiting lab but as crews 278 00:11:32,569 --> 00:11:30,509 from around the world work together to 279 00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:32,579 research and live in space science 280 00:11:36,889 --> 00:11:34,800 fiction writers have inspiration to 281 00:11:39,259 --> 00:11:36,899 continue writing tales of the 282 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:39,269 International Space Station expanding 283 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:41,730 someday into that kind of vibrant 284 00:11:47,749 --> 00:11:45,360 metropolis vibrant that's a great word 285 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:47,759 to use to describe the trailer this 286 00:11:54,710 --> 00:11:51,569 broadcaster watched in awe unbelievable 287 00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:54,720 concepts incredible imagery check it out 288 00:12:00,590 --> 00:11:57,059 you'll find a link later at UFO headline 289 00:12:01,999 --> 00:12:00,600 news calm oh we should add that Justin 290 00:12:05,299 --> 00:12:02,009 Chang the film critic for the Los 291 00:12:08,689 --> 00:12:05,309 Angeles Times didn't really take to this 292 00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:08,699 film as they say his comment was pick up 293 00:12:13,460 --> 00:12:10,769 your 3d glasses at the door with one 294 00:12:15,889 --> 00:12:13,470 hand and drop your brain off with the 295 00:12:19,249 --> 00:12:15,899 other in other words for him there was 296 00:12:21,499 --> 00:12:19,259 lots of vivid quality to look at but not 297 00:12:24,590 --> 00:12:21,509 much in the content go figure 298 00:12:27,619 --> 00:12:24,600 here's something to figure a few weeks 299 00:12:30,019 --> 00:12:27,629 ago we covered the story in Florida the 300 00:12:33,019 --> 00:12:30,029 headline was a woman discovers treasure 301 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:33,029 trove of rare space documents in the 302 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:33,569 trash 303 00:12:38,660 --> 00:12:36,569 oh let's recap it our Navy veteran 304 00:12:41,090 --> 00:12:38,670 accidentally stumbled upon a number of 305 00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:41,100 rare documents and images from the 306 00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:43,439 height of the space age in the trash 307 00:12:47,869 --> 00:12:45,480 outside of a home in Florida 308 00:12:50,090 --> 00:12:47,879 former aviation electrician Yvette Quinn 309 00:12:54,169 --> 00:12:50,100 discovered the documents and turned them 310 00:12:55,699 --> 00:12:54,179 over to WKMG news six in Florida she was 311 00:12:58,970 --> 00:12:55,709 concerned that the information had been 312 00:13:01,160 --> 00:12:58,980 just left on the curb the documents 313 00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:01,170 contained notes and images from a 314 00:13:06,650 --> 00:13:03,660 variety of projects including early 315 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:06,660 drones early renderings of lunar modules 316 00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:08,850 the Space Shuttle and a Martian 317 00:13:13,579 --> 00:13:11,009 spacecraft we're not sure what that 318 00:13:17,150 --> 00:13:13,589 means exactly in addition to such items 319 00:13:19,549 --> 00:13:17,160 as a rare Gemini Titan to press manual 320 00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:19,559 these documents and images in question 321 00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:20,670 originated 322 00:13:24,980 --> 00:13:22,980 Martin Marietta corporation which 323 00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:24,990 specialized in aerospace engineering 324 00:13:29,570 --> 00:13:27,360 chemicals electronics during the height 325 00:13:31,090 --> 00:13:29,580 of the space race the company later 326 00:13:33,530 --> 00:13:31,100 merged with Lockheed corporation 327 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:33,540 Lockheed Martin is how we know it now 328 00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:36,810 that happened in 1994 the station has 329 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:38,910 since donated these items found by 330 00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:41,010 Evette Quinn to the American Space 331 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:44,160 Museum in Titusville Florida it turns 332 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:45,650 out there really wasn't anything that 333 00:13:49,940 --> 00:13:47,970 classified well there's nothing 334 00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:49,950 classified in this but some things 335 00:13:56,390 --> 00:13:52,710 happen again here's the headline old 336 00:13:59,540 --> 00:13:56,400 NASA computers tapes found in dead man's 337 00:14:02,480 --> 00:13:59,550 basement if this source is highly 338 00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:02,490 respectable it's space.com and this is 339 00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:04,560 written by Mike Wall who is their senior 340 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:08,310 writer two huge Apollo era NASA 341 00:14:13,490 --> 00:14:11,490 computers and more than 300 data 342 00:14:15,890 --> 00:14:13,500 recording tapes were found in the 343 00:14:19,010 --> 00:14:15,900 Pittsburg basement of a dead engineer 344 00:14:21,740 --> 00:14:19,020 this happened actually in late 2015 but 345 00:14:25,970 --> 00:14:21,750 for some reason it's only breaking now 346 00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:25,980 in November of 2015 a scrap dealer was 347 00:14:30,830 --> 00:14:27,960 invited to clear out the basement of a 348 00:14:32,930 --> 00:14:30,840 recently deceased IBM engineer who did 349 00:14:36,770 --> 00:14:32,940 some work for NASA at the height of the 350 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:36,780 space race the dealer found about 325 351 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:39,330 magnetic data tapes and two giant 352 00:14:45,380 --> 00:14:41,730 computers both of which were marked 353 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:45,390 quote NASA property and quotes the scrap 354 00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:47,610 dealer contacted NASA to inform the 355 00:14:52,190 --> 00:14:50,400 agency of his find and NASA's Office of 356 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:52,200 the Inspector General performed an 357 00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:55,290 investigation what happened next was the 358 00:14:58,910 --> 00:14:57,360 publication Ars Technica 359 00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:58,920 they obtained the Office of the 360 00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:00,720 Inspector okay keep your eyes closed 361 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:02,870 okay I want to show you my first ever 362 00:15:13,010 --> 00:15:10,130 painting all right okay colors and 363 00:15:16,460 --> 00:15:13,020 shades so be honest what do you think 364 00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:16,470 well I like how if you switch to Geico 365 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:17,760 you could save hundreds of dollars on 366 00:15:21,830 --> 00:15:18,570 car insurance 367 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:21,840 oh yeah that's that's true yeah here why 368 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:24,090 don't I hold your paintbrush while you 369 00:15:27,170 --> 00:15:24,690 call them 370 00:15:29,450 --> 00:15:27,180 Geico because saving 15% or more on car 371 00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:29,460 insurance is always a great answer 372 00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:31,620 generals report through a Freedom of 373 00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:34,529 Information Act request this dis 374 00:15:39,470 --> 00:15:36,990 East Engineers err told the scrap dealer 375 00:15:42,290 --> 00:15:39,480 quote please tell NASA these items were 376 00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:42,300 not stolen they belonged to IBM 377 00:15:49,819 --> 00:15:44,870 Allegheny Center Pittsburgh Pennsylvania 378 00:15:51,860 --> 00:15:49,829 during the 1968 to 1972 timeframe IBM 379 00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:51,870 was getting rid of the items so the 380 00:15:55,730 --> 00:15:53,790 engineer asked if he could have them and 381 00:15:58,759 --> 00:15:55,740 he was told he couldn't have them and 382 00:16:00,679 --> 00:15:58,769 quotes the relevant names here have been 383 00:16:02,110 --> 00:16:00,689 redacted in the Office of Inspector 384 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:02,120 General's report 385 00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:04,290 NASA officials told the deceased 386 00:16:08,780 --> 00:16:06,569 engineers family the agency doesn't need 387 00:16:11,179 --> 00:16:08,790 the computers back after further 388 00:16:13,790 --> 00:16:11,189 investigation an agency archivist 389 00:16:16,189 --> 00:16:13,800 determined that 93 of these tapes 390 00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:16,199 contained data from Pioneer 10 or 391 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:18,959 pioneer 11 those flyby missions to 392 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:20,970 Jupiter and Saturn they launched in the 393 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:23,970 early 1970s a few of the other tapes 394 00:16:30,139 --> 00:16:26,490 recorded from the Pioneer 8 Pioneer 9 395 00:16:33,290 --> 00:16:30,149 Helios one and Intelsat four missions 396 00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:33,300 but most of the tapes about 215 of them 397 00:16:38,509 --> 00:16:36,720 just couldn't be identified an archivist 398 00:16:40,910 --> 00:16:38,519 recommended that all the tapes which 399 00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:40,920 were moldy and in generally poor 400 00:16:45,949 --> 00:16:43,529 condition be destroyed because they 401 00:16:48,619 --> 00:16:45,959 didn't contain anything of historical 402 00:16:50,420 --> 00:16:48,629 significance there'll be a link to that 403 00:16:52,910 --> 00:16:50,430 NASA office of the inspector general 404 00:16:55,429 --> 00:16:52,920 report and the full story from the 405 00:16:58,179 --> 00:16:55,439 fellows at ARS technica find those links 406 00:17:01,040 --> 00:16:58,189 later at UFO headline news com 407 00:17:03,650 --> 00:17:01,050 speaking of NASA here's a striking 408 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:03,660 headline from the Charlotte Observer out 409
