	Description:		SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 26 The Astronomy, Space and Science News Podcast Asteroid Ryugu's Salty Secrets, Solar Orbiter's Venus Encounter, and NASA's Lunar Resource Exploration In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the recent findings from the asteroid Richie, where scientists have discovered evidence of salt minerals, hinting at the presence of saline water in the outer solar system. This exciting revelation parallels previous discoveries from asteroid Bennu and enhances our understanding of the chemical history of these celestial bodies. Europe's Solar Orbiter and Venus We also explore the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft as it prepares for a close flyby of Venus. This maneuver will allow the spacecraft to adjust its orbit significantly, enabling unprecedented observations of the Sun's polar regions, which have remained elusive from Earth. The encounter will provide critical data to improve our understanding of solar activity and its impact on space weather. NASA's Polar Ice Experiment Additionally, we discuss NASA's Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment (PRIME 1), which aims to analyze the Moon's subsurface for potential resources. This mission is pivotal for future manned lunar explorations under the Artemis program, as it seeks to identify local resources that can support sustained human presence on the Moon. 00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 26 for broadcast on 28 February 2025 00:49 Evidence of salt minerals in Richie samples 06:30 Implications for understanding outer solar system water 12:15 Solar Orbiter's close encounter with Venus 18:00 The significance of observing the Sun's polar regions 22:45 NASA's PRIME 1 mission and lunar resource exploration 27:00 Overview of recent findings on night owls and diabetes 30:15 The impact of glacier melting and climate change www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com
