The source of a powerful cosmic ray, did the late heavy bombardment actually happen? Did Titan create Saturn’s Rings? And James Webb is going to pin down the future orbit of YR4. And in Space Bites+, we might be able to intercept 3I/ATLAS.

Is it possible that the super high energy cosmic rays come from the way we observe them? If there’s more than one particle, whose showers get merged in the detector and energies combined in the analysis processes? That’ll be extremely rare to get perfect alignment, but so are those extreme cosmic rays come from detections.
Why can't you trap these high energy particles and put them to work?
So, I have a question that maybe you can address on the next Q&A... I don't know if I am too dense to wrap my mind around it or what but could you please explain how Direct Collapse Blackholes are supposed to work. I understand how stars make blackholes, that makes perfect sense to me, but where does the gas get enough pressure to form a blackhole? Is that a function of Dark Matter or am I missing something else? I wouldn't think that gravity has enough strength to account for it (heck even for star forming, for that matter.) You may have addressed this in the past, if so could I get a link for that? This whole concept just sort of baffles me. PS: in the beginning of this video, you mentioned that these energetic particles can damage your DNA and lead to radiation in the future. I assume you meant cancer... Editor gets docked one episode pay! LOL Just kidding, you guys do fantastic work, and I thank you for both keeping us informed and explaining things to us that are well above our pay grade. Much respect!
Hello Fraser. I'm "somewhere in the universe" and I want to ask a question. Not sure this is the space for it, but it's what I can find ... Could dark matter be the substance/field that is entanglement?
Regarding sponsors ads on YouTube, they can be bypassed if you click on “jump ahead”. It’s still an interruption, but at least you don’t have to listen to the wonders of Nord VPN for the thousandth time.
Actually an ad blocker works fantastically, and you don't have to click anything!
HI Fraser. Another great episode of Space Bites and Space Bites+. Well done to you and your twam at UT. Theyre great, keep it up. I applaud your efforts to be rid of advertising and reliande from Patrion funding - what youvdid was brave and I hope other Creators follow in your footsteps but, I have a gripe with Patrion - I can't cast the video playing in the Patrion app on my Android device to my TV, like I can with the videos on YouTube, and I can't add the Patrion app to my aging Sony TV to access your content directly on my TV. Being unable to cast from Patrion is a bind but hey. That's my problem until I upgrade I guess unless Patrion changes to allow casting.
Great episode. Thanks! BTW, to answer your question, I just read that the Parker Solar Probe reached 191 km/s.
I'm a regular viewer and big fan. The Moon bombardment clip suggests it was impacts that created the lunar maria, as if the impacts made a hole and magma came up and filled the hole. As I understand it, the Maria were flooded millions of years later, in many layers, with basalt. You can see the layers in photos of lunar graben, for example in Hadley Rille.
According to Jean-Luc Margot's "Π" planetary discriminant, unlike the IAU's unscientific distinction, Ganymede *is* a planet. But more importantly than that: as far as any planetary scientist is concerned, anything in hydrostatic equilibrium with active processes (that includes Pluto), scientifically, by its intrinsic properties, is *also* a planet. The IAU gets my goat.
