Tossed out a fish and forgot about it, it did what rotten fish do inside of the trashcan overnight unnoticed. As soon as she mentioned the odor, it popped back into memory and I tossed the bag down the trash chute. Whoopsie! No sense of smell is a godsend when changing diapers, a curse if one gets food served that's dodgy. Enough so that I'm actually resistant to many common FBI bugs that'd hospitalize others. :/

Nice one, Fraser!! That bit about the oldest stars answered a question I had some time ago, that no one else had answers for. Many, many thanks for that.

I missed the Northern Lights because I didn't listen to the radio on that day to hear about them. The star Eff You Orinus? lol As good as Uranus.

Just started watching again. Recent topics covered have been super interesting. Can't get enough of mars info as well.

Welcome back. Hope you and your kid had a wonderful time.

The story about Curiosity releasing methane is very interesting! I thought that the Maven mission was measuring methane and other gases from Mars orbit. Is it seeing the same methane from the Gale Crater area?

I think the thing about an aurora expedition is to make sure it's somewhere you want to be even without seeing the lights

Welcome back!

02:25 It's ok, Fraser, it has happened to all of us once in a whiles. Oppie just stepped on a ripe one!

We missed both nights of the Auroras as we were clouded out. However I have seen more than a few when we have travelled a few hundred kilometres North, they are not infrequent. They're mostly the green curtains and sometimes really neat looking. I have On rare occasions seen white and red elements in Auroras.

RE Methane on Mars: ever since I learned about Viking's (probably false-) positive signs of life I can't help but think why haven't we tried a new labeled released experiment. Such an interesting topic. The fact we can detect methane close to the surface could be interpreted as another plus for the team that believes life could be found just below the sterilized surface.

Thanks for this episode of space bites, I am a big fan of your videos 😀💫❤🤟

Why am I getting Old Spice pre-roll ads? How does the internet smell me and methane on Mars simultaneously?

Here's maybe something for a question show: I live in southern Finland (like a little ways north of Helsinki) and the sky was clear but I didn't see any auroras while people way further south were posting photos of brighter auroras than I've ever seen at home. What's up with that? Can they have huge holes like that to leave some places completely devoid of the light show? Did I just learn something about the larger-scale structure of auroras through having completely abysmal skygazing luck when everything was stacked in my favor? Or can my timing be at fault somehow, since I know some of the posts were from the US?

If you want to see auroras, just about any october to april week will get a good show in Nunavat, Northern Sweden, Northern Finland, Alaska north of the Alaska Range, and almost any night north of the Brooks range (N. Alaska) or the Ogilvies in western Canada... I grew up in Anchorage, and seeing the Northern Lights was routine... I just can't get excited about them anymore.

I so wish it wasn’t cloudy for me during that solar storm!

Apparently, we would have even been able to see aurora in central Florida, but it was daytime when it reached us. Crazy.

There were amazing auroras here in Cornwall UK. I was not in Cornwall for the first time in years.... I was under cloud... I even have an alert app, but no dice. I need to up my game! :) Thank you Fraser, awesome update.

I have been living to see another aurora, the thing that got me into science when I was still single digits in age, for decades since 1989.... It was cloudy. The next day auroras also came, cloudy again :( Aurora bright enough to see a reddish pink glow through the clouds on my phones pictures but no visuals of the aurora :( Cant express how sad it makes me but I hold out hope as this cycle is showing itself to be insane and will not even peak until next year so here is crossing my fingers. Hoping this stimulated an obsession with science for some kids out there the same it did for me. I pray they do great things in life with their new found passion.

6:55 I didn’t hear any f*ing news about this until after it happened.

Methane comes from the methane hydrates that Mars is riddled with. This was stated by NASA in an article in Scientific American, almost twenty years ago. Methane hydrate is salt intolerant, so yes , the rover rolling over salt would do the trick, dissociate the methane and release the trapped gas.

Question time! If there was a medium in space equivalent to what we have on earth that allowed for sound to travel - how loud would the sun be and at what frequencies would we hear it?

It was cloudy in my neighborhood the night of the aurora too. As for the methane leaks on Mars...if it turns out there are large areas of the planets that have enormous repositories of the stuff that can b e released by literally just driving over it...could that be good news for potential future attempts at teraforming being how potent a greenhouse gas methane is?

Mars to rover: “Pull my finger”

The quasars were not observed with a coronagraph on JWST. It’s just NIRCam direct imaging, and they have performed careful PSF subtraction. Read the paper carefully.

Salt layer protecting methane hydrate, cracking the surface allowing decompression and release? Or maybe Martians are simply pranking the rover by following the rover while eating their version of chili. The aurora here had a uniquely cloudy appearance, precisely in accordance with an ill documented law of astrophysics that requires it to be cloudy over Pennsylvania whenever anything interesting is to occur in the sky. :/ It also didn't help that I've got about as much light pollution as a Starlink orbit.

Oh no, my question didn't get answered! ;-D I asked a question about P(life) on K2-18b

How do those older stars compare with the stars found in globular clusters? I know the GC stars are also old, they are found in the halo of the milky way and some people theorize they are the core of old satellite galaxies that were absorbed by the milky way. I wonder if they have the same origin.

Does a black holes event horizon diameter grow as its density increases? If so, wouldn’t that reveal that its singularity is not infinitely dense?

For the question show: can the black hole quantum information paradox be resolved if our gravitational wave observations someday show a supermassive black hole shredding a “lightweight” stellar mass black hole via incomprehensible tidal forces? In my thought experiment, the gravitational wave data would perhaps be corroborated by EM-spectrum observations. I picture a spontaneous ecretion disk of visible matter appear as the stellar mass black hole is smeared just below the density of the Chandrasekhar limit. If this is a novel idea, I propose the term Toddlinova in honor of my three year old, whose spontaneous eruptions seem to challenge our current understanding of physics.

re - Supermassive Black Holes Maybe they were never stars, but instead, they formed from the pre-expansion matter of that super-dense stuff that the universe formed from.
