Hello Jason! I've been busy with life, so I need to catch up on some lectures. I'm listening to the intro while writing this, and it sounds like I missed some fun with star formation... That's next in the queue. Thank you for putting these out for the masses
Baysian Stats on big Solar Flare So we really do have 12 years to save the planet. "While solar flares are a frequent occurrence, extreme flares are much rarer events and have the potential to cause disruption to life on Earth." "We estimate there to be a 95% probability that a Carrington-like event (165 years ago) will occur once, on average, every 50-176 years; crude comparisons to recently-published work might put this at once every 20-6500 years."
Wouldn't the very center of the sun contain heavy elements that Sol has collected, not made? What would happen to an iron asteroid as it descends into the sun?
No, he means made. Heavy metals in the giant gas cloud that condensed to form the sun. The sun is big, it contains about 99 percent of gas the solar system formed from, the leftover bits formed the planets, asteroid belts and the ort cloud. An iron asteroid hitting the sun, is like a spec of dust hitting earth.
What happens in the core stays in the core

Welcome back! Yeah, I have a LOT to do fcom here on out.
@@JasonKendallAstronomer I'm new to the channel and only a year in on all things astro/cosmo. A great learning source here! Thank you.
If anything, it should be held safely away from their dirty hands
The legend gives again!
Missed the premiere this time but good to see one of your long form videos!
Thanks, I'm planning more long-form videos.
Hey I love your Cosmology Videos
😅
Thank you!!!!!!!!! ❤❤

I hate this comment... you had to have been watching this live to get the joke.
