Starliner return: "No crew but no more issues with thrusters either" - Nope, one of the 12 thruster used to orient it during atmospheric re-entry failed to ignite. Which is likely a different issue but i's still "thrusters". And that's only one of the two issues Starliner encountered during the return (there was also a navigation system "glitch" when everything went blank, then came back). I think either of these would have been enough to show that NASA did the right thing in taking no risks. So Boeing and NASA has even more work to fix than they knew before they tried returning it.
i think the 'double' thing here is the use of the moon and earth in conjunction. usually multiple GAs are only planetary during egress. in other words, a subtle indication of better maths and faster computers with better software.
I couldn't sleep last night, so I went out early this morning (4am-ish) and checked out Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Pleiades with my binoculars. It was cool and quiet outside, and I love the night sky. It calmed my frustration from not being able to sleep. Astronomy can definitely ease what ails you!!! And I can't wait to see the comet!! Fingers crossed it's a great show!! Thank you, Dr. Becky!!! 🔭🌃🌠☄
I have been dying to see this video this week. Everyone else is talking about the new photos of black holes from JWST. I only trust Dr Becky to post the truth of the matter.
Agree with that view point. The only other channel I watch is epic spaceman but that is more for trying to understand the scale of things. He does an amazing job with video effects to display the true scale of things. Well worth a watch but certainly isn’t a scientist so still come here for my science fix
@@jasonGamesMaster Same here. Since I started watching those channels, I often have those clickbaity videos showing up in my feed. It actually surprises me how annoyed I get when I see a line like "Voyager saw this and turned around" (yup, that was in there).
@@JeeVeeHaych lol. Yeah, for sure. I've also seen a bunch like "voyager leaves the solar system and scientists are SHOCKED by what it found!" or whatever, lol. Any more I just click the little dots and tell the algorithm I'm not interested lol
Starliner crew: “Us? Stay in space? For many weeks? Well, I guess if we HAVE to _pleasedon’tfixitpleasedon’tfixitpleasedon’tfixit_ gotta be safe and all _pleasedon’tfixit_ we’ll make do.”
I bet the Wow-signal came indeed from an alien civilization - and then they realized they pointed the signal in our direction and quickly turned it off… „Not there! That‘s where those crazy people are! Be quiet!“
I am IN IT for additional spectra of those early, massive galaxies. Whatever clues about early star formation we can get, I gobble it up. Also, what do we have to do to get a video with you only speaking with a Geordie accent? HAHA.
As usual, not to be missed! Your explanation of the flybys was beautifully illustrated and gave a real sense of how cool these maneuvers are for space navigation.
I wonder if every time you hear os say "spectra", the whole spectra explanation plays in your head. Love your stuff Dr. B. Thanks for all your hard work with these videos.
your content is EXCELLENT AS USUAL ...HOWEVER(!)... your background "set" IS KILLER! you are now THE HOLLYWOOD VERSION (vision?) of what an astrophysicist's home-office looks like! 👍☺
Increase in efficiency of star formation, this means galaxies form faster at high z. Implies also that galaxies grow faster than their SMBH. This is consistent with what we found in QSOs: Cutiva-Alvarez et al. 2023, MNRAS, 521, 3058.
Am I missing the link for the comet's best viewing conditions in my area? I see the eclipse (not going to enjoy it here), but I would love to see the comet!
Really hoping we get our nova for next month's news. I can't say I have been able to pick out the constellation though in the sky so I know what to look for. It may not be dark enough around me.
Well, I’m totally bummed. I was a student back in 1977 at OSU, living not far from the radio telescope. Was hoping that it was aliens and that Go Buckeyes! would take on a more cosmic meaning!
Yes, she probably misspoke. But it makes sense that we have an annular eclipse and a super moon two weeks apart, as the super-full-moon has to occur when the moon is closest to earth, so the new moon two weeks later has to occur when it is farthest from earth. And as solar eclipses only happen on a new moon it will be annular under these circumstances.
Yeh, Becky must have misspoke. At first I thought "No, the supermoon and the annular eclipse must be 3 weeks apart, because if the moon's orbit is an oval then opposite ends of the orbit (2 weeks apart) should both be distant from earth. But you're right, the supermoon is 2 weeks after. For those wondering, google just confirmed it's because Earth isn't at the centre of the oval, it's over at one end, so there is a single near point and a single far point per orbit.
hello dr becky, may i ask a good application to use for finding out exact times certain stars/planets will be at certain points in the sky, i live in the UK but the area is covered in housing so unfortunatly i can only observe things that are quite high in the sky
I said it when it came out, and I'll say it again. You can't use photometric redshifts and IMFs to look at JWST galaxies. Those measurements have too many unknowns, and our models are calibrated based on lower-redshift galaxies. Checking extrapolations beyond calibration is great, but drawing non-trivial conclusions from that is unfit at best and deceptive at worst. See the introduction of 10.3847/1538-4357/ac695e for a nice discussion.
Were the questionable thrusters on the Boeing Starliner part of the support module, not the capsule? And the support module is jettisoned during re-entry to burn up in the atmosphere, so examination of the specific hardware elements is not possible? What investment is acceptable to restore trust in those thrusters? Earth-based environmental chambers? Additional flight?
I'm sure someone's already all over this(!) but... "Vernal equinox"? "Autumnal equinox" surely? (Unless you're quibbling about which hemisphere one is in?)
Were their IMFs using heavy or light seed black hole models? There has been some potential observations for heavy seed models from JWST. I'd expect the heavy seed model to produce more of these large AGN like black holes.
Talking about the far away galaxies I have a question: As the universe expands, it expands the wavelength of the light travelling through it, but I figured it should also expand _time_, doesn't it? Basically, if two photons leave a far away light source with one second (1s) interval and their wavelength doubles on their way to us, don't they also arrive to us with a doubled interval of two seconds (2s)? This of course would mean that anything we see in the past of our universe happens also in slow motion. I don't think I've ever seen or heard this phenomenon talked about explicitly, except insinuated indirectly when talking about how the edge of the observable universe is like the surface of a black hole. I'm quite sure that this effect is taken firmly into account, but I'm just baffled that science popularisers haven't talked about this quite thrilling thing (at least not on the channels I follow, or maybe I've just somehow missed it).
i was so sure the moon was going to eclipse saturn this month from where i am and was watching it for days, as usual on the night i thought it was going to happen it was cloudy for the next 2 nights
I ran the idea of using a luna slingshot into an Earth slingshot to Mars by Chat gpt and it said it adds nothing and wouldn't be used. Meanwhile NASA.......
I just call the equinoxes the March and September equinoxes. Because it will be Spring in one hemisphere, and Autumn in the other. They are also the best times to see the zodiacal dust. Also, doesn't an annular eclipse happen when the moon is at its farthest point of its orbit as it passes the sun?
2:28 so I just had a thought about Crescent moon phases each cycle. The going from a New Moon to a Full Moon and back to a New Moon again would make to Crescent Moons or Toe Nail Moons each cycle. The first after the New Moon would be the Waxing Crescent Moon or the Right Toe Nail Moon(as the "toe nail" would be on the right side of the moon) or the Waning Crescent Moon or the Left Toe Nail Moon (as the "toe nail" would be on the left side of the moon). Dr. Becky, Which would be your favorite one of the two the right or left Toe Nail Moon and do you like my idea?
Question: Could or do Type 2 and more so type 3 stars being more pure hydrogen produce more light than T1 stats like our star? Q2: could T3 stars coalesce and ignite gaster than T1 stars?
how does rings tilt with the planeyt of saturn. I would of thought the planet would of tilted but the rings momentum would keep them in the same direction around the planet
The rings aren't tilting. They're in a fixed orbital plane around Saturn. It's just the relative angle to us that changes giving the appearance of them tilting.
So, it's the same as why the moon orbits around the equator (which means they are tilted). Satellites follow the rotation of the planet unless they are captured. And yes, the rings are basically a crap ton of little satellites, lol. Because of this tilting, it will be at different orientations depending on the orbits and rotations of not just Saturn but Earth as well.
I wonder if relativity is properly applied. I'm a highschool dropout so nobody takes me seriously, but time passes differently on the Moon than it is on Earth. The cause is the difference in gravity. If that's the case, then differing gravity in galaxy clusters should have the time side of space-time all over the place.
I am confused about this Annular Eclipse. If the moon appears smaller so as to not cover the sun, then it must be further away and cannot be a 'supermoon'. Unless the earth is also closer to the sun making the sun larger!.
Is it bad science to wonder if the universe is infinite then does that mean there's more space time than there is energy and if so does that mean a collapse and restart is inevitable? I'm aware what the models say, but if you adjust them just a bit beyond the presumptions...
Annular eclipse AND super moon? Doesn't make sense... 5:53 Maybe Earth at perigee? Super moon = bigger. Just trying to learn. Help me understand please.
In Contact they broadcast at hydrogen times pi so not quite the same. In hindsight it assumes that aliens use base 10 which is perhaps a poor assumption.
No, it does not depend on base ten. You can convert two numbers to another base, multiply them together, and convert them back, and get the same answer. Computers do it all the time, converting all numbers to binary.

"after Starliner's first *crewed* test flight" my ears heard as "after Starliner's first *crude* test flight"...
Not wrong
That’s the deal with homophones baby
Don’t forget, both Voyagers did multiple flybys for gravity assists
i think the 'double' thing here is the use of the moon and earth in conjunction. usually multiple GAs are only planetary during egress.
in other words, a subtle indication of better maths and faster computers with better software.
@@humansustainability First consecutive double flyby perhaps?
@@Pistolsatsean They are all consecutive when you do one right after the other :)

Actually, Starliner did have a few issues during return. 1 failed thruster, and a GNC glitch.
I live in central Stockholm but I have a big park right where I live where I often can see the Perseid meteor shower.
What about selection bias? A bigger galaxy is brighter and therefore more likely to be visible.

Good self-catch on the "vernal equinox".
Still, nowhere as bad as when someone called it the "vertical equinox" !!

Surely we get an annular eclipse when the moon is further away, not closer?
Are the SMBH in the center of the early galaxies more massive than expected? Or it’s not something they know yet? Not sure I understood that part.

In Contact they broadcast at hydrogen times pi so not quite the same. In hindsight it assumes that aliens use base 10 which is perhaps a poor assumption.
No, it does not depend on base ten. You can convert two numbers to another base, multiply them together, and convert them back, and get the same answer. Computers do it all the time, converting all numbers to binary.
