As a two-time Alaskan fisherman, I can attest there are still places you can go to see the sky our ancestors saw. It was the nights when the water was glass and reflected the whole sky that made it even more magical. 5 miles off the Aleutian islands, there is no light pollution. You can't see your hand in front of your face. The clear nights you can see the sky in all its glory.
I've never heard of Moiya McTier but this young lady is a star in the making, like Neil is for us eager to take our imaginations to a future beyond and within the stars.
I don't know do I rather see a free thinker or just another manufacturer maybe. It's almost like she will turned into a mature Bernie Sanders but never a true starr of a Ralph Nader. 😢
Moiya is extremely good at talking about science in a fun way. Great attitude and personality combined with scientific knowledge. I hope she becomes a famous educator like Neil.
In 2019 I spent 5 days and nights in a Utah desert. The night sky was full of stars; being a native NewYorker, I appreciated the beauty and majesty of it all.
I have always been a fan of Sir Neil, but now I am a fan of Miss Moiya too. She is literally a star in the making. Just look at her personality, how passionate she is, and how good and fluent she is with her stuff. LOVE THIS. LOVE SCIENCE.
You are correct. So many can lecture on their fields of expertise. A few can teach creatively. We need more creativity. Here we are learning with less effort, more enjoyment.
It was mind blowing when Moiya mentioned about astronomical cave paintings and story telling that goes back 60,000 years ago. It would be a dream to see an actual video of humanity evolving over many many centuries.
Neil, I lack the vocabulary to express how many times you're knowledge has created colors my eyes had never seen. I am not an educated woman, I regretfully did not further my studies beyond high school and I hold no social or financial standing; however, I believe one of the most important responsibilities we have to ourselves is to always remain teachable. Serious question, would you be willing and interested in having a conversation with me, just on the basis that I have a "feeling" that it's supposed to happen?
Terrific show Neil, Matt & Moiya! Obviously, Moiya knows what she is talking about and will make a name for herself! I agree with Neil that she should write a book. Looking forward to seeing her back on Star Talk! 👍👍💥💥
@Sapele Steve RE: "I agree with Neil that she should write a book." She did write a book, which she mentioned. It's entitled, "The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy."
I simply chose not to wait and went right out and got your Book Moiya McTier, I'm not a big book reader by any means but I knew right away I needed to read yours if not simply cause of how you wrote it, perspective wise. Even the Book store Associate pointed out that principle as they spoke highly of them reading it.
Oh my goodness. Moiya McTier is one of the best guests to appear on Star Talk. I want to read her book now. I was writing on my blog over the weekend about how ready humans are to find recognizable shapes where they don't exist. For example, if you're of European descent, you probably see a "man in the moon". But if you're Japanese, you're more likely to see a rabbit making rice cakes. If you're a wolf, and have more imagination than we generally grant non-humans, you might see an elk. Hearing Moiya talk about the effect folklore has on our perceptions.
In the mid 80s I was in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. At night, out in our training areas, it was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Looking up was amazing. Then I took it to a whole new level. I was on guard duty using a set of night vision goggles. I looked up. The onslaught of light was amazing.
And thanks again for your programs. Always so interesting. And I have to smile and think fondly of Jack Horkheimer every time I hear your "Keep Looking Up" ending.
Speaking of seeing things in the sky...your Starry Starry Night painting behind you reminded me of my sky-gazing story. So...back in the 70's...we did a fair share of drug experimenting. And it was said that there was a self-portrait of Van Gogh hidden in the swirls and colors of that painting. Well...in one of my drug-enhanced excursions...I claim to have plainly seen his face there. But today...no face...only swirls and colors. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Smiles.
Really? Complete waste of its capabilities. There's also the Gaia mission doing this, personally would be pretty disappointed after 3+ decades in the making, by 3 separate space agencies and 10 bill later - that JWST was 'simply' mapping the galaxy - rather than peeking back to the beginning of the very beginnings of them/ looking/finding more exo planets etc etc frankly who knows the questions/answers will come in the future - let's not forget it has a life span and can't be repaired either. Way more important work for it to be doing.
Now I want to know. If 100 years ago our understanding of other galaxies were as "island universes"? Could we, in another 100 years, understand the muti-verse to at least the extent in which we currently do our own universe?
We remembered "Probably Science " 2 episodes in a row, If we could only remember Lord Nice has a actual title this would be nice. Solid episode Side note the telescopes on the island 🏝 of Hawaii are indeed impressive. Got to do a fly over (Helicopter) during my time in the Marine Corp. Spent a few days their prior to deploying to Guam, I've also witnessed weird unexplainable moving objects that were not space rocks changing directions RAPIDLY in the night sky then disappearing Side side note: Nothing wrong with Marijuana Dr. Tyson "everything in moderation"
I'm live, where there are so so many stars at night sky, on the Big Island of Hawaii ♡♡♡ so interesting... Hawaii compared to the mainland night sky's is so different. A good reason to visit here! My son went to the top of the mountain, to play in the snow. Snow in Hawaii, another reason to enjoy Hawaii.
I deployed in 2007 on the Bonhome Richard. I learned real quick how few stars I had seen in my life when I was a thousand miles from nowhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at 3am on the flight deck. How small I felt that night.
Neil I've been enjoying the show it'sbeenreallyinformative and now I would really like to know because you guys have really painted a good picture of how older species of life would've been seen the stars, almost like a timeline
Lovely talk. I love the Name Moiya. I believe it's the name of the bioship in Farscape. Interesting discussion. It would be interesting to consider the name of constellations in the future if we ever travel around the milky way.
My idea for changing the stars includes Orion and Pleiades (Subaru). Take Orion's belt and Betelgeuse becomes the head with a baseball hat. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. The feet aligning perfectly to the ground and the 3 stars of Orion's belt align perfectly as the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. The spear pointing at Subaru is the bat being swung and Pleiades is the baseball flying away after being hit. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case I drew a 7 on the jersey to make him, "Mickey," but you can put any number you want. I've figured out how to change the stars by stopping hurricanes. Don't worry, I've technically already done the easy part and changed the stars. My parents were teachers and for over 3 decades, they taught their students my constellation. Those kids will teach their kids. So on and so on. See, stars changed. I just need help to make it legit and with the rest. I need to get to Texas ASAP. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm serious. I get 7 things. One of them being to change the stars and remember, crazy is a compliment. Figured Neil has taken on the IAU and won. He's the best place to start. If, rather when, it works it could be converted to a larger scale and EASILY regulate temperature, end drought, stop wildfires in the west. Let me know if you're interested, please and thank you. It'd be wrong of me to not, at least, try. This is me, trying. More, hopefully, to come.
Do you think that modern city dwelling in a way has caused a disconnect between the people who live their and curiosity about space. I live in a rural area and I can't imagine not being able to see a starry sky when I walked outside at night. I thought about space since childhood and I know that was triggered by seeing the stars at night.
Celestia is a pretty neat piece of software. Enables you to "travel" throughout our galaxy and far beyond. You can watch as constellations lose their "shape" as your point of view changes. It was free back when I first installed it. Hopefully it has been able to maintain that status. There may or may not be better options, but I still enjoy the software to this day.
Hi, to all of you, Am really amazed how the cosmos exposes itself to all of us in this interesting journey into the cosmos, the question is, re we alone in the consciousness or we sharing it all us? And What does it mean to be conscious being, the big questions is where is the source or it's central point! and which entities controlling it? We should ask these question to ourselves and the quest for search into cosmos continues until we find, what is it means to animals in general!!! These re question i as individually lacking of answers but search continues... maybe science later will have adequate answers in the future.
In the planetarium program app Stellarium, you have the option to display contellations and asterisms from several cultures NOT just Greco-Roman. For example Scorpius is called the Fishhook in S Pacific cultures. Great subject for a Star Talk IMHO.
Carl Sagan on one lecture pointed out than most of our entertaining night activities were not avilable in prehistory ("but some of them were") so we stared at firmament and seek for patterns, and then invent stories
My idea so I get to name it! Voyager 1 is now in interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." Think of it like Alvin and the chipmunks. "Vyger's" message is sped up now that it's outside our suns time bubble or "Terran Time." It would be faster still if "Vyger" sent a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. (That name is still up for grabs.) Then there's Outside the Local Group time bubble, so on and so on until we get to the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Now that "Vyger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." This can be proven by turning off everything except its clock and transmitter. Have "Vyger" and the IP read time for as long as possible. They WILL show the flow of time speeds up the further away you from any celestial bodies. Until you reach the time standard. •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured. •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until Vyger is outside the Ort cloud .007-.07% faster, maybe. Just for reference. •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group. Milky Way, Andromeda, etc: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference. •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard," or...;-P Name NOT up for grabs BUT just begging to be measured. The rate/flow of time is fastest here so, surfing time here is choice. Though it's best to have your motor boat. ;-P A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about. The Milky Way's Interstellar Time Standard will be known as, "Mikey's Time." Pass it on, please and thank you.
Guys, in the upside down case, let's say two people were laying next to each other looking at the stars, but both are sleeping in opposite directions facing the stars, they will have two different perspectives, and draw it accordingly, you don't necessarily have to travel to the other side of our planet. JUST TURN AROUND, AND LOOK UP AGAIN!
We need more startalk with psychedelics involved as a subject, in fact, I want Neil and other brilliant minds talking while on psychedelics themselves. Imagine the new thought patterns / new insights on things he'd have :0
Interesting connection that was a little overlooked, possibly edging towards irony, I seem to remember hearing a connection with psychoactive substances and the story Dracula, also Frankensteins monster was heavily influenced by advances in science at the time they were written, and the ancients were just high all the time, so the crazy wacky observations of naive people from the past weren't necessarily out of place, we've just gained knowledge through experience from advancements. Relatively speaking we have still yet to learn more,
This isn't related to the topic but I'm hoping you can help. We have a brass reflector telescope in bad condition and want to get it refurbished. Is there anyone you might recommend. We're in Massachusetts. Thank you. Btw, love startalk.
I once heard that the story of the 3 Magis from the East following the star of Bethlehem came from viewing the stars in Orion's belt following Comet Halley.
A white hole is a time reversed black hole. It's probably not a possibility given what we know about gravity and physics, it's just a mathematically time reversed black hole.
Except for the Pleiades, which is a cluster, the only constellation that comes close to being in conjunction is the Big Dipper. Yet astrologers never give it any super power!
She's right. Some things in this universe are not quantifiable. Some things just can't be explained....yet We were just born 5 seconds ago so we have to submit to infinite possibilities based on the possible scale of the universe.
What is with the co-host's psychotic smile? EDIT. I'll let it slide. He made some comments that were amazing. Like seeing the night sky from a remote location and how different it is and then he related it to how past people saw the sky like that every night. I posit that the constellations may look more like the name in such a condition and that the ancients did not have to be on drugs. Tho, I hope they were hi on occasion. And I swear to a god this is true. I was sitting here writing this and Alexa popped on a song and I in no way initiated it. I have not used her for days. I was surprised and almost turned it off. She started playing AFRICA by Toto. It brought literal tears to my eyes. (Tho Alexa knows it is one of my favorite songs) It feels like there could be a parallel between the song and the podcast. (I'm not 100% sober right now.)
Wouldn't upside down be all perspective since in space there's no up or down? I suppose you can look at things as they're up and down but they're not really.
I think this Astro-lore has merit. Why are we stuck with the names of the constellations when instead we should rename everything completely based on ideas of where we want to go next.
@Jacques Pienaar RE: "anyone have any astrophysics book recommendations" One of Neil's guests has written a good one, which she mentions. It's The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy by Dr. Moiya McTier.
I have wanted, for 30 years now, to organise a "Global Turn off your Lights" night! If anyone is interested in helping me promote this, please let me know...
Why do astronomers and astrophysicists use the parsec as a basic unit of distance rather than the lightyear? After all, they're the same order of magnitude (1 pc = 3.26 ly).
There are the same number of keys on a piano as there are constilations in the night sky. You can see 36 in the northern hemisphere which is the same number of black keys on a piano and there are 52 visible from the southern hemisphere which is the same number as the white keys on a piano.
As a two-time Alaskan fisherman, I can attest there are still places you can go to see the sky our ancestors saw. It was the nights when the water was glass and reflected the whole sky that made it even more magical. 5 miles off the Aleutian islands, there is no light pollution. You can't see your hand in front of your face. The clear nights you can see the sky in all its glory.

Enjoyable and brilliant, apart from visiting my daughters in Switzerland I haven't seen a single star since moving to Bangkok 20 years ago
I have a question, if photon can enter a black hole and can never leave it does that mean that a black hole is a one way mirror 😶

Damn I love all 4 of them, Neil, Matt, Moiya and Matt's cat at 15:46.
This isn't related to the topic but I'm hoping you can help. We have a brass reflector telescope in bad condition and want to get it refurbished. Is there anyone you might recommend. We're in Massachusetts. Thank you. Btw, love startalk.
This woman is amazing!!!! Wow 🤩
I once heard that the story of the 3 Magis from the East following the star of Bethlehem came from viewing the stars in Orion's belt following Comet Halley.

A white hole is a time reversed black hole. It's probably not a possibility given what we know about gravity and physics, it's just a mathematically time reversed black hole.
With the red shifted photon losing energy question...
The speed of a photon that is red shifted?
Mass of the photon that is red shifted?
E=mc²
Matariki (Pleiades) is a public holiday in Aotearoa. 🇳🇿 😊
Publish the NOVEL 🙌
Definitely be subbing to young lady's podcast..😉
Dr. Betül Kaçar interview, please?
Except for the Pleiades, which is a cluster, the only constellation that comes close to being in conjunction is the Big Dipper. Yet astrologers never give it any super power!
MOIYA!!!! Intelligent AND BEAUTIFUL curl definition!!!!
She's right. Some things in this universe are not quantifiable. Some things just can't be explained....yet
We were just born 5 seconds ago so we have to submit to infinite possibilities based on the possible scale of the universe.
What is with the co-host's psychotic smile? EDIT. I'll let it slide. He made some comments that were amazing. Like seeing the night sky from a remote location and how different it is and then he related it to how past people saw the sky like that every night. I posit that the constellations may look more like the name in such a condition and that the ancients did not have to be on drugs. Tho, I hope they were hi on occasion.
And I swear to a god this is true. I was sitting here writing this and Alexa popped on a song and I in no way initiated it. I have not used her for days. I was surprised and almost turned it off. She started playing AFRICA by Toto. It brought literal tears to my eyes. (Tho Alexa knows it is one of my favorite songs) It feels like there could be a parallel between the song and the podcast. (I'm not 100% sober right now.)
Wouldn't upside down be all perspective since in space there's no up or down?
I suppose you can look at things as they're up and down but they're not really.
I think this Astro-lore has merit. Why are we stuck with the names of the constellations when instead we should rename everything completely based on ideas of where we want to go next.
This lady is fantastic.
Astrophysicist/Folklorist would be the sort of specialization I'd imagine an anime/Dan Brown/Lovecraft protagonist would be.
Has anyone any info on SETI Institute?
Moiya is fantastic!
anyone have any astrophysics book recommendations
@Jacques Pienaar
RE: "anyone have any astrophysics book recommendations"
One of Neil's guests has written a good one, which she mentions. It's The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy by Dr. Moiya McTier.
@@spaceman081447 thank you
I have wanted, for 30 years now, to organise a "Global Turn off your Lights" night! If anyone is interested in helping me promote this, please let me know...
Why do astronomers and astrophysicists use the parsec as a basic unit of distance rather than the lightyear? After all, they're the same order of magnitude (1 pc = 3.26 ly).
There are the same number of keys on a piano as there are constilations in the night sky. You can see 36 in the northern hemisphere which is the same number of black keys on a piano and there are 52 visible from the southern hemisphere which is the same number as the white keys on a piano.
