They discuss how supernovae explosions do not blow away the gravitational field and how neutron stars develop as a result. They also provide insights into 3D printed telescopes and suggest that beginners may find it easier to start with an off-the-shelf telescope. They talk about the trajectory and potential fate of the Voyager spacecraft and discuss the challenges of building particle colliders in space. Overall, they provide informative and engaging answers to the audience's questions. Takeaways Supernovae explosions do not blow away the gravitational field because gravity is associated with mass. The explosion only affects the outer envelope of the star, while the core collapses to become a neutron star. 3D printed telescopes can be a good option for beginners, but it may be easier to start with an off-the-shelf telescope. 3D printed telescopes require more components and may involve more fiddling around. The Voyager spacecraft will continue on their current trajectories and are not expected to pass near any star systems within human lifetimes. However, if they were near enough to Earth, they could be detectable by extraterrestrial intelligence. Building particle colliders in space is challenging due to the need for precise guidance and the high velocities of the particles. It may be more cost-effective and realistic to continue building particle colliders on Earth. The fate of the Voyager spacecraft is uncertain, but they could potentially be captured into orbit around another star or collide with other objects. They will likely outlast our species and continue on their trajectories away from the solar system.

In this episode of Space Nuts, Andrew and Fred discuss the naming of Australia's moon rover, a gamma ray burst that affected Earth's atmosphere, and the discovery of a reappearing, disappearing galaxy. They also answer a listener's question about the Kardashev scale and the possibility of constructing a Dyson sphere. In this episode, Fred and Andrew discuss various topics related to astrophysics and space exploration. They speculate on the existence of advanced civilizations and megastructures, highlighting the vast technological advancements required for such feats. They also delve into the concept of tidal locking, explaining how planets and moons become tidally locked and the role of friction in this process. Lastly, they explore the challenges of measuring the speed of objects in space and the absence of an absolute frame of reference. Takeaways Australia's moon rover has been named 'Roover' through a public vote, highlighting the lack of imagination in the country. A gamma ray burst from a galaxy 2 billion light years away affected Earth's atmosphere, demonstrating the vulnerability of our planet. The discovery of a reappearing, disappearing galaxy suggests the existence of dusty galaxies that are not visible in optical wavelengths. The Kardashev scale is a measure of a civilization's energy usage, and the construction of a Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that can harness the energy of a star. The existence of advanced civilizations and megastructures is purely speculative and not supported by current astrophysical evidence. Tidal locking occurs when a planet or moon's rotation matches its orbital period, resulting in one side always facing the other. This process is influenced by gravitational forces and friction. Measuring the speed of objects in space is complex due to the absence of an absolute frame of reference. Speed is often calculated relative to other objects or reference points. The speed of light, approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, is a fundamental constant in physics and has been measured and predicted accurately.

Time Travel in Astronomy: How the Universe Reveals Its Past I think he's actually right...I think he's on the right track, because whilst the formal definition of a black hole...is a point in space with infinite density...that suggests that if its density is infinite, that its dimensions are zero...But I'm thinking that physicists know that 'physics'...never works that way. You can't have something with no volume and no dimensions and yet still exert a gravitational force The resources mentioned in this episode are: · Check out the integrated metallicity profile of the Milky Way published in Nature Astronomy. · Learn more about the metallicity of stars and its importance in the search for life on other planets. · Explore the concept of living inside a giant black hole and the theories surrounding it. · Find out if the entire universe could be a quantum object and what that means for our understanding of reality. · Discover the different sizes of black holes, including supermassive and intermediate black holes. · Learn about the formal definition of a black hole and its dimensions. · Watch the video on YouTube for a visual explanation of black holes. · Consider the implications of black holes on our understanding of physics and the laws of the universe. · Dive deeper into the topic of black holes by reading scientific articles and books on the subject. · Stay tuned for future episodes of the show for more fascinating discussions and questions. The Size of Black Holes Alright, time for a real brain-boggler: Do black holes have a size? Now, this might sound like a straightforward question, but in reality, it's anything but. The nature and properties of black holes are one of the greatest mysteries of our universe. In technical terms, black holes are described as a "singularity," which implies zero dimensions. But could there be more to it than that? Black holes became an engaging topic when Andrew and Fred touched upon how their "size" led to several theories and ideas. Both agreed that the definition and understanding of black holes are fluid, leaving a lot of room for scientific debate. Fred even hinted at the possibility of revisiting the no hair theorem, which describes the limited number of detectable attributes of a black hole. So, despite the name, black holes are anything but an empty subject! Apogee and Earth's Climate Now, let's talk about something a touch closer to home - the Earth's climate. You might have heard the term "apeelian," which refers to when our blue planet is furthest from the Sun. It's a regular, annual occurrence, but does it have a significant effect on our climate? From a layman's perspective, it might seem like it should. But hold onto your hats - the reality is quite different! In engaging conversation with Andrew, Fred clarified a common misconception about the apogee and its impact on our climate. As it turns out, the difference in distance doesn't have much effect at all! The tilt of Earth's axis and seasonal changes have a lot more to do with our climate than our planet's solar proximity. It's one of those delightful bits of information that make you appreciate just how complex and finely balanced our planet's systems are.

In this episode, you will be able to: · Unearth the immense difficulty behind power creation on the Moon and its crucial implications. · Learn about the innovative path Lightbender is paving for electricity generation in the Moon's darkest regions. · Understand the subtle yet influential relationship between Lightbender and heliostat technology. · Imagine broader possibilities thanks to Lightbender, as its potential extends much farther than just the Moon. · Recognize the importance of accessing and harnessing lunar water reserves, a game-changer in furthering space exploration. List 3 - The aim is to have continuous habitation on the Moon. It's a stepping stone to traveling beyond the Moon to other parts of the solar system. This is our future, and it's a future we should all be excited about. - Andrew Dunkley The resources mentioned in this episode are: · Visit Maxar's website to learn more about their Lightbender technology for providing beams of sunlight on the Moon. · Check out NASA's Artemis Project website for updates and information on their mission to send human beings back to the Moon. · Explore the concept of heliostats and how they are used for solar observations. · Discover the Anglo Australian Telescope and its state-of-the-art mirror technology for maximum reflectivity. · Consider installing solar panels on your own roof to take advantage of renewable energy. · Stay updated on the latest news and developments in space exploration by following Space Nuts with Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson. Power Challenges for Moon Missions To have a permanent human presence on the Moon, we can't sidestep the hurdle of generating power in the shadowed areas. Often, potential resources for living lie in such areas, for instance, the water reserves in the deep, often shadowed, craters near the poles. The tricky part is that the science we have today, solar-generated power, needs light. So, getting power to these dark, resourceful spots is a challenge that needs an intelligent solution. That's where something like Lightbender steps in - a technology that has the potential to crack this problem wide open. From Andrew's perspective, he notes that the topic is not just about exploration; it's a matter of survival in an environment that's vastly different from Earth. He compares this situation to the first astronauts who had to deal with the lack of power during moon night, which lasts about 14 Earth days. Understanding these challenges is essential to ensure the successful future of lunar missions. Heliostat and Sun Observations Lightbender isn't born entirely out of nowhere. Fred explained that it draws inspiration from a 19th-century astronomical idea of the heliostat. The heliostat also uses a two-mirror system to keep a steady image of the sun for solar observations. The primary difference lies in the autonomous control and AI of Lightbender to direct the reflected sunlight accurately. Paul was fascinated with the historical link between heliostats and the cutting-edge technology of Lightbender. Delving into the past, it made him appreciate the leaps and bounds humanity has made in technology and the new challenges it can overcome with novel adaptations of age-old inventions.

Do Exoplanets Have Magnetic Fields?
In this episode, the hosts dive into the topic of magnetic fields on exoplanets and their importance for potentially supporting life. The discussion touches on the role of Earth's magnetic field in shielding the atmosphere and the planet's surface from harmful subatomic particles. For a rocky planet to have a magnetic field, the presence of an iron and nickel core is essential, as it generates a magnetic field as the planet rotates. For life to exist or have the potential to exist on these planets, having a magnetic field could play a crucial role, offering a protective layer against harmful cosmic radiation. Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson highlight the recent discovery of the first exoplanet with a magnetic field, YZ Ceti B, which is located around 12 light-years away and orbits an M-dwarf star. Scientists have used radio emissions from the star to study the interaction between the planet and the star's magnetic field, revealing that YZ Ceti B generates bursts of radio emissions, an indication of it having its own magnetic field. This discovery holds great significance as it suggests that other rocky exoplanets may also have magnetic fields, making them potential candidates for supporting life. However, some exceptions in our own solar system, such as Venus and Mars, challenge this notion.
I'm seeing this thing that no one has seen happen before, which is always a nice thing when you're a working astronomer and you're sitting at a big telescope somewhere and something turns up. - Professor Fred Watson

A Cosmic Cannibal: Uncovering the Mystery of the Loneliest Galaxy in the Universe | Space Nuts #343 Mar 16, 2023

When an ambitious astrophysicist discovers a lone galaxy 9.2 billion light years away, she unravels the mystery of a fossil cluster, uncovering an unexpected twist in the evolution of carbon in the universe. In this episode, learn about astronomy topics - Quasars, Big Bang, and Carbon formation in the universe - from a conversation between Andrew and Fred about Dr. Rebecca Davis' research. They discuss how carbon started forming in the universe, which is important as we are a carbon based life form. The research found that in the early universe there was more cold carbon than warm carbon and it may be due to the first generation of stars. This research also paves the way for future investigations with the Square Kilometer Array to detect neutral hydrogen during a key phase of the universe's history. Furthermore, there is an example of extreme galactic cannibalism, with a distant galaxy called 3 C 297, which appears to be alone in space due to gobbling up all it's neighbours. "During the period when the first stars and galaxies are forming, a lot of heavy elements are forming because we never had carbon before we had stars. One possible reason for this rapid rise is just that we're seeing the products of the first generation of stars." In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. Australian astrophysicists have uncovered a crucial new development in understanding the evolution of carbon in the universe. 2. An extremely distant and old galaxy, 3C 297, is all alone in space, because it ate its friends. 3. Astronomers have discovered the earliest fossil group ever found, suggesting that galaxies gobbling up their partners and friends happened much earlier in the universe than previously thought.

Auroras, Spaghetti & Speed of Light: Space Nuts #341 Mar 02, 2023

Experience the awe-inspiring power of the universe with a journey to see the aurora australis and witness spaghettification first-hand! Learn about Aurora displays from this Space Nuts podcast episode featuring Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley. Apparently, people have been seeing these aurora displays in unusual places due to various plasma bubbles being spat out from the sun. This is not surprising as we are approaching the solar maximum, which is the regular up and down trend in the number of sunspots that appear on the sun. These sunspots are highly intense regions of magnetism that release energy in the form of plasma bubbles which cause the green, red and sometimes purple lights of the aurora. It is unusual for people to be seeing the aurora in places such as the UK, and the best time to look is near the equinox. Plus we’re witnessing a spaghettification first hand, but what exactly is that, and lastly, the Space Station was damaged by a micrometeoroid and a rescue mission is underway. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. People are seeing the aurora in unexpected places - what is causing this phenomenon? 2. What will happen to the mysterious gas cloud X-7 as it passes closest to a black hole in 2036? 3. An uncrewed rescue mission was sent to the International Space Station - what was the mission and why was it necessary?

340: Uncovering the Dark Side: Is Dark Energy Coming from Black Holes? Feb 23, 2023

When listener Daniel poses a theory linking black holes to dark matter and dark energy, Andrew and Fred embark on an adventure to uncover the truth and explore the potential for a Nobel Prize, but must prove the revolutionary theory before time runs out. You will learn how to unlock the secrets of the mysterious dark energy that powers the universe.
Show Notes Learn about Dark energy with Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson. They discussed the potential for the discovery of a source for dark energy, which Daniel from Adelaide theorized could be black holes that suck up normal matter and energy and convert them to dark matter and dark energy. C0-incidentally, a paper published this week links black holes to dark energy, but not dark matter. It states that black holes generate an energy that is somehow coupled to the universe's expansion, providing the energy required for the universe's acceleration. Duncan Farrer of the University of Hawaii said that this is the first proposed astrophyiscal source for dark energy and could result in a Nobel Prize. Lastly, they discussed the danger of rubble pile asteroids, and other listener questions. "Keep an eye on your letterboxes, because that's sure to arrive. Great stuff, Daniel. And you are, in a sense, ahead of the curve there because for the first time we've seen this week a paper, scientific paper, that exactly does that links black holes with dark energy. Not with dark matter, but with dark energy. Now, what is different from the Daniel theory is the mechanism for this. It doesn't involve things being spat out of black holes at speed of light'. In this episode, you will learn the following:

Could black holes be the source of dark matter and dark energy?
Are black holes the source of the energy that is causing the universe to expand ever more rapidly?
What would happen if the Earth's magnetic field flipped?

339: The Pareidolia Phenomenon on Mars: Searching for 'Paddington Bear' Feb 16, 2023

After a decade of searching, a determined Mars rover discovers an eerily familiar formation of an ancient crater, inciting an interplanetary investigation of the phenomenon of pareidolia. You will learn the mysteries of the Red Planet and the latest updates on Mars exploration.
Show Notes:
After a decade of searching, a determined Mars rover discovers an eerily familiar formation of an ancient crater, inciting an interplanetary investigation of the phenomenon of pareidolia. You will learn the mysteries of the Red Planet and the latest updates on Mars exploration. Learn about Mars exploration through a lively conversation between Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson on Space Nuts. They discussed the phenomenon of pareidolia, where people find familiar shapes in random objects, and how it has been seen on Mars in the form of faces, hats, and other shapes. They also talked about the rover Perseverance and its mission to collect samples which have been left on the surface in 10 sealed tubes. They have now been dropped at a geographical location called Three Forks. Lastly, they discussed the camera on the rover's arm called Watson, which uses spectroscopy to analyze the rock samples. "We try to humanize everything we do humanize it. It's great because it draws attention to what's going on around it and maybe they get interested and have a look at some more. We just seem to gravitate to faces, don't we? Especially smiley ones. Well, that's good. I mean, you don't really want evil faces in space." In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. What is the phenomenon of pareidolia, and how does it explain why we see faces in inanimate objects? 2. What happened when the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured an image of a "Paddington Bear" on the surface of Mars? 3. What advanced technologies are being used to collect and analyze samples from the surface of Mars?

338: Indestructible Asteroids // The Hunt for Alien Life with AI // Questions & Answers Feb 09, 2023

Thank you for joining us on Space Nuts where we talk astronomy and space science every week. I hope you well. Coming up in this edition indestructible asteroids - yep they've got some samples they've hit him with a hammer and nothing happened and we're talking asteroids that are made of rubble. But it turns out to be more like reinforced concrete. We're also going to look at machine learning or artificial intelligence for the discovery, maybe, of extraterrestrial life. And we're going to answer some questions about gravity and astronauts. What happens when they're going maybe from here to Mars? What's the gravity like compared to orbiting the planet or lack of there? So how is a light year measured? Very carefully. And what pushes rockets in space? We will tell you all of that if we can. Maybe we won't. Coming up on this edition of Space Nuts. Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff.

I hope you can join us on what will be the last official episode of Space Nuts for this calendar year. And my name is Andrew Dunkley, of course, the host, and joining me will be Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. Fred, what are we going to do to finish off this 2022? Well, we've got some great stories, actually. It looks as though there's a mystery being solved that has hung around for decades regarding the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, which we see from down here in the Southern Hemisphere, the large and small Magellanic Cloud, among many others of them. That looks as though it's been solved by scientists, including somebody I know quite well actually from the University of Durham. Also, we're going to talk about something I know nothing about, the possibility that dark matter might turn out to be dark photons. All in Space Nuts 336. Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff.

Venus - New Information Dec 01, 2022

We've got a bunch of really interesting and quite provocative stories this week.
A story about how volcanism might have shaped the atmosphere of the planet Venus.
And another story about something we’ve never talked about and that is filaments in the centers of galaxies. I used to think of a filament as being something that lit up a light bulb although they don't have that anymore, but these are filaments of hot gas which have been detected and are really quite mysterious.
And we'll answer questions about anti-matter and anti-protons, space junk, relativity, and one question we don't really understand, but it came from Rusty in Western Australia. So that's understandable in itself.
That's all coming up on this edition of Space Nuts, episode 333.

The Crazy Shapes of Our Universe: The James Webb Space Telescope's Recent Discoveries Nov 24, 2022

The James Webb Space Telescope has analyzed the atmosphere of an exoplanet and found astonishing new evidence of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. In this episode, you will learn:
1. The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered new atmospheric compositions on the exoplanet Wasp-39b, including sulfur dioxide, potassium, and carbon monoxide.
2. The shape of our galaxy may be more complicated than previously thought, with a halo of stars and other objects surrounding the disk of stars.
3. The Gaia spacecraft has measured the positions and motions of stars with unprecedented accuracy, providing new insights into the structure of our galaxy.
"The latest results, though, they were pretty impressive, what we've heard so far. But the ones that we're seeing now are really quite staggering because the Webb using its infrared equipment in a way that lets you investigate the atmosphere of this planet as it passes in front of its parent
I'm joined by Professor Fred Watson on Space Nuts, where we talk astronomy, space science, and how to solve some of your pet problems. We're discussing a new discovery by the James Webb Space Telescope which analyzed the atmosphere of an exoplanet and found some astonishing results. We're also looking at the true shape of our galaxy, which turns out to be more like a football than a sphere. And with the World Cup on, I thought we would have been no, not at all.

AMA Nov 10, 2022

We've got an episode that divides by five. So, it means it's all questions.
And we've got a range of questions today, which cover the whole universe, basically. Several about the moon, which is a great one because by chance today there is an eclipse of the moon.
But they range from that out to vertical particles in the universe and the origin of dark matter.

Europa's Exciting New Images Oct 27, 2022

Astronomy, Science, Space, and Stuff.
Space Nuts Episode 328 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
In this episode, we're going to visit Jupiter's moon Europa because there's new stuff from Europa, we've got new images which have come back from a flyby by the Juno spacecraft, plus some work about the plumes of ice that might come out of the surface of Europa.
Then we're going to go to the distant universe to talk about gravitational lenses with some new work that has been done here in Australia.
We'll also be answering some audience questions. Ian wants to know about Venus and Mars. It's a great Paul McCartney album. I think that's the answer to the question. Also the size of Earth, earth by perception. And Gus wants to talk about dark matter. Or do we have to - yes, we do.

We have a story about what you can learn from beads, tiny beads of glass in the soil of the moon which have been brought back by the Changing Five spacecraft. We also have a story about the possible detection of the aftermath of the first stars in the universe.
We'll also be taking some audience questions. One about antimatter, and I love this one a hypothetical - fishing in a black hole. Now, there's more to it than that, and you won't catch fish in a black hole. They will already be spaghettified. But what happens if you're a fish in a black hole?

Space Nuts Episode 318 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hi there. Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. Hope you can join us for episode 318. What are we going to be talking about, Fred?
Fred: We're going to talk about the discovery of a moon of an asteroid. And it's an important asteroid because this one is going to be visited by the Lucy spacecraft in the late 2020s.
We're also going to talk about upside down snow falling, or should it be rising, in the ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa. And there are listener questions to come which haven't yet revealed to me, but I understand they might be on the James Webb Space.
Andrew: They might be, because a lot of people are really fascinated by the James Webb Space Telescope, and that spawns a lot of questions.
So that's indeed what we will be talking about in episode 318 of Space Nuts with me, Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large.

Fred: Wait till you see what it is.
Andrew: Okay. All right will do. We'll also be answering some audience questions, but Fred doesn't know what they are. We're going to do a bit of a potluck on him this week. He doesn't like it. But occasionally, it's fun to see how things pan out.

Andrew: Hello once again. Andrew Dunkley here from the Space Nuts podcast. Hope you can join us on episode 314, where I'll be joined by Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large, to talk astronomy and space science. What's coming up on 314 Fred.
Fred: Great news. We're going to look at the rest of the images that the James Webb telescope has sent back, those fantastic images of nebulae and galaxies, as well as a new one of the planet Jupiter. And then we're going to do a story that I think is fascinating. It's about Pinpointing, the exact crater on Mars from which a meteorite that landed on the Earth started its journey. An incredible piece of detective work. All coming up on Space Nuts.
Andrew: In the words of Monty Python, it's spate us in the face, it did. Yes. We'll also be answering questions from Mark in Quebec about what happens to Earth if it gets touched by a black hole. I don't think anyone wants to know. And Rusty wants to talk about quasars. So I hope you can join us on the next episode of Space Nuts, Episode 314.

We're going to talk about a new telescope that's just starting to be built at Siding Spring Observatory here in New South Wales, that’ll be looking for the aftermath of gravitational wave events. And we’ll squeeze in a story about the idea that aliens might use quantum communication.
Andrew: And we just finished answering all the questions about gravitational waves and we had to do a gravitational wave story. So, we'll start rolling again, of course. And speaking of audience questions, we'll be hearing from Ben in Dover, who has a gravitational wave question, and Alex from New South Wales about the apparent size of galaxies. That's a really interesting question. That's all coming up on episode 313 of Space Nuts, the podcast you can download from your favorite podcast distributor. Talk to you then. Bye.

Space Nuts Episode 310 with Professor Fred Watson & Andrew Dunkley
Andrew: Hello there. My name is Andrew Dunkley from the Space Nuts podcast, where we talk astronomy and space science. And every week, I'm joined by Professor Fred Watson, astronomer at large. What's coming up on episode 310, Fred?
Fred: Thank you, Andrew. Episode 310, because it's divisible by five, is actually an all questions episode. And today we've got a huge pile of questions on topics as diverse as and I've got to read this. The Big Rip, surviving the Vacuum of Space. Our closest neighbor in space, putting a hole through the Earth. What would it be like falling through it? Are there such things as gas moons, the triangular galaxy - Will it get gobbled up by our own galaxy? And what if you had a billiard cue long enough to poke somebody on Mars? Would they feel it faster than the speed of light?
Andrew: Fantastic. Actually, that question about surviving in space turned out to be a very fascinating answer. So I'm looking forward to talking about that one. They refer to messiness in the question. And you know what? They're right. So we'll talk about that and much, much more on this edition of Space Nuts. Download from your favorite podcast distributor. Talk soon.

Then we're going to Pluto because we're going to talk about an occultation of Pluto, which has produced some interesting results. And finally, a record breaker. The fastest growing black hole that we know has just been discovered by Australian astronomers.
Andrew: Wow. Gee, that doesn't sound too nice, actually.
Fred: If it's a fast growing black hole, we know what they're all about.
Andrew: We'll also be answering a couple of questions. Brett wants to know about astrophotography and Fenton is gee, you must have woken up in the middle of the night Fenton, trying to figure this one out. The ratios of elements as you move away from the sun. Not the first thing I think of when I wake up in the middle of the night, but anyway, we will cover all of that in this episode of Space Nuts.

And are scientists really planning to defend earth from aliens with some sort of laser shield? Maybe...maybe not. Fred gives his opinion on this news...
