0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcp.co.j.jot.com.j, that's Y-A-K-U-L-T-C-O-J-P. |
0:28.4 | When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.7 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta. |
0:39.1 | Sunday morning, September 28, 1969, a fireball lit up the skies north of Melbourne, Australia. |
0:46.2 | And people were getting ready to go to church and then they heard this loud sonic boom. |
0:51.2 | Some of them saw the bright fireball and broad daylight, and people were surprised. |
0:56.6 | There was what's going on, especially those who were not outside. They realized, is there an airplane |
1:01.0 | that came down? It sounded really dramatic. And then suddenly, shortly after that, there was a |
1:06.0 | smell that was detectable over the whole area. People describe it as metalated spirits, so strong organic |
1:12.6 | smell. |
1:13.6 | Cosmochemist Philip Heck of Chicago's Field Museum, describing the spectacular arrival of what's |
1:18.6 | now known as the Murchison Meteorite, named for the village where it was found. |
1:22.6 | A portion of the space debris now resides at the Field Museum, and Heck says it's our best source of |
1:28.2 | pre-solar stardust, meaning stardust older than the solar system and the sun itself. |
1:33.6 | I called it a scientific treasure trove. Inside the meteorite is dusty debris, left over from when |
1:39.8 | stars slightly larger than our sun, fizzled out. Over millions of years, those dust grains were |
1:45.0 | battered by cosmic rays, which slightly altered their composition. Adams of elements got broken |
1:50.3 | down into smaller ones, like neon and helium, and then some of that stardust was swallowed up |
1:55.3 | within rocks, such as the Murchison meteorite, during the formation of our solar system. Those rocks |
